Looks interesting and in that thread there is a post by a Dev that career mode has been updated so that's encouraging. At the very least they should make it customizable where you can use any DLC course for any non-major tourney.

What is still not encouraging is that there is a 5 page thread on the EA board that asks if the carnival pins are fixed and not one dev has bothered to post on there to say it has been fixed. If they did fix it then you figure one of them would have gone on there and stated as such.

You would think they fixed this right? This totally ruined the game for me last year.

Has the chipping mechanic been fixed. It's been effectively useless for years.

IF you mean the animation for chips and really short pitch shots around the green I sure hope so. Nothing more unrealistic than watching a guy chip from 10 feet and take a full swing.

Tell Mr. DeVault from the swing demo that a right handed golfer closes his stance to draw and opens to fade. And this guy is developing the game?

LOL, pretty much that comment right there illustrates perfectly that most of these devs have no clue about the game of golf.

Let's all calm down w/ the Dev bashing. Didn't think it would linger into the freaking GOLF Forum.

The changes look very promising. It really sounds like Links 2004, I just hope it "feels" the same way but better!

Also, I'm surprised this isn't on VITA. I think it would be great to have integration with your career to be able to play on the tv or vita.

This is going to be a make or break for me this year. It just ruined the offline and online game for me.

Yep, while I would like to get the bonus course with my pre-order, I am definately waiting a few weeks to see if the pins are still in there from some the OS guys who play it here. This game costs too much with DLC to waste money with something that has that severe of a flaw and to me it's absolutely ridiculous that they can't be bothered to fix it while touting all these other features that is supposed to enhance the realism.

To me it's like playing 2K12 and that game having the home court nets of the best 6 teams half the size of the home court nets of the bad teams in some goofy way to enhance the difficulty.

I honestly don't understand why some of you don't just play TW 08 on the PC. The gameplay's far better than on the console, the graphics are just as good, customizable players, tours, seasons, course creation, no carnival pins, etc. and etc. I've never bought a console version of TW yet, only ever rented it. And I don't intend to, not until EA decides to make it as sim and as customizable as the PC version was (and still is).

I doubt you will ever see a console Golf game offer the same features as a PC version, but TW 13 is getting closer to it, but still likely has a ways to go to get to the options available for the PC version....

Re: Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 13 Announcement and First Feature Details

I posted this on the TW forums but no answer as of yet. Hoping Divot has some inside scoop.

Here are a few questions that I hope can be answered.

1) Ball lie. For instance I am lying in what appears to be deep rough and the lie indicator shows my ball sitting down in it? On the HARDEST difficulty will it still show a percentage of how far the ball will go and as my stats improve will that percentage start to get smaller. i.e from 40-60% to say 45% once stats are good. I am HOPING that the answer is there are NO percentages at all and that you have to guesstimate how it will come out of that lie.

2) Can I move around in the tee box?? When I play gof IRL I never tee up in one specific spot especially when I want to work the ball off the tee. Please tell me this has been addressed.

3) If I am in a career mode and my character is driving the ball on avg 305-310 off the tee is there a way to now NOT have my stats improve? Therefore forcing me to have no choice but to keep getting longer and longer off the tee.

Thanks for any answers you guys can provide. I have not purchased a TW golf game in about 4 years now and I'm hoping this is the year I can return to console golf.

Re: Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 13 Announcement and First Feature Details

So, now that EA has unveiled Kinect support, can you guys talk about it now? I'd just like to know your impressions if you were able to try it out. Does it seem like it is going to work or does it feel gimmicky? I'm just talking about the swing, don't care aout menu navigation or voice integration.

My concern from the videos is the guy made a very hard and fast putting stroke for what was only about a 8-10 foot putt. His swing in real life would have sent the ball flying off the green, unless it was the slowest green in the world. I wasn't going to give this game a shot this year unless Kinect works as advertised.
