    Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 13 Legacy Challenge Details Revealed


    Check out some of the new Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 13 screenshots featuring the Legacy Challenge mode, right here.

    Here are some details from the Tiger Legacy Challenge Mode from EA. Personally, I'm actually quite excited about this mode at the present time. What do you all think?

    Tiger Legacy Challenge lets you relive Tiger’s most memorable golf accomplishments as he rises from a child prodigy to a golfing legend. Revisit each era of Tiger’s career, from his Toddler Years practicing in his backyard, to his first television appearance on The Mike Douglas Show, thru his epic victories at the Masters. Play through and complete each era to unlock bonus in game content.

    Toddler Years - The first era includes events from Tiger’s childhood in the late 70’s, which introduces players to the new swing mechanics found in Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 13. During these events, you will play as Tiger between the ages of 2-6.

    Early Years – This era takes place between 1983 and 1986 between the ages of 7-10. You'll participate in some of Tiger's first golf tournaments including the Junior World Championship

    Junior Years – Takes place between 1988 and 1991 at the ages of 12-15 and showcases Tiger winning each age group of the Junior World Golf Championships. These events incorporate various audio distractions while playing, which Tiger’s father used in real life to help him train and hone his skills.

    Amateur Years – This era focuses on Tiger at the ages of 18-20 and includes accomplishments during his Amateur golf career such as the U.S. Amateur Championships, his first trip to the Masters Tournament, and College Invitational.

    Rookie Years – Between the ages 21 and 22,this era encompasses Tiger’s first two years on the PGA TOUR, as well as his first major win at the Masters, his first President’s Cup, signing with EA SPORTS, and hitting a hole in one at TPC Scottsdale on the famous hole 16.

    Tiger Slam – Arguably one of Tiger’s most memorable accomplishments to date, this era focuses on his career between 2000 and 2001 at the ages of 24 and 25, when he won four majors in a row. It also includes a challenge to match Tiger’s snaking putt at the 2001 Players Championship on the 17th island green at TPC Sawgrass.

    Pro Years – The Professional Years include accomplishments between 2002 and 2008 such as various major wins, famous shots (2005 chip-in at Masters), and winning the FedEx Cup.

    Present Day – This era includes current events such as the 2010 Ryder Cup, 2011 Presidents Cup, and the beginning of fictional events that lead up to the ultimate goal of winning 19 majors.

    Future – This section includes major events that are in the future such as the 2014 U.S. Open at Valhalla and the 2015 British Open at St. Andrews.

    Record Books – The last era will end with Tiger chasing his 19th major on his way to breaking Jack Nicklaus’ record."

    EA Sports also posted a blog on the topic, right here.

      But wait, is there Grand Theft Auto type mini game where your wife chases you around with a golf club?

        Enough with Tiger already....I'd love to see the day when they went back to calling the game "PGA Tour". Tiger this, Tiger that....it's getting old. It's actually been refreshing watching the last few PGA events on TV and Tiger not being there. Many of the up and comers carry themselves so much better than Tiger and really represent golf better than Tiger Woods does...It would be nice to see some of them get some play.

          Why are the fans standing on the fringe of the green in those videos? I've never seen that in all the years of watching golf on TV.

            This would be so much fun IF we weren't forced to use Tiger Woods. Let us create a player for this mode, please. I won't play it if Tiger is the only option, unless of course I play just to ruin his "Legacy".

                    A page from Hot Shots Golf more like. We've been waiting YEARS for something resembling realistic PGA TV-style presentation, Tour Mode customization options, along so much else, and instead this is the sort of thing they spend their time adding to the series, bah. I'm sure my 9 year-old nephew will thoroughly enjoy playing as 2 year-old Tiger.

                      Given the series' recent track record, we probably won't have any of the following:

                      - round 4 greens without a pin placement needing 8 putts to get down
                      - any kind of playoff at the end of tournaments
                      - multiplayer career
                      - enough golfers to allow for a realistic President's/Ryder Cup setup such that I don't have Michael Campbell playing for Europe or Morgan Pressel playing for the US

                      but we will have

                      - motion captures for a 6-year old

                      Don't know about you, but I can't wait.

                        Im not a conspiracy theorist here.. but most people who view this forum would scoff at story modes. Any one posting their "Excitement" about another story mode feature in another Tiger Woods game is a bit suspect to me. EA loves story modes because they can simply repackage old code and spit out a "new" game mode quickly. How many ways can they package "Play these 4 par 5's on Pebble Beach in -4 or less".... EA will find out....

                        They avoid the hard work... and play around with stupid things... This should not have been their first big reveal as it will turn away their core buyers. When have they ever understood their "base" though....
                        Tiger 14 (Xbox 360)... Total Online Play Country Club... We have a forum/message board at www.TotalOnlinePlay.com ...one central place for questions, comments, feedback, and general trash talk :) To join, go there and request a spot....

                          You really think so? I'd say 95% of the core buyers for all their sports games are pick up and play gamers who want fun modes, and have little interest in old fashioned sim gameplay. That's why Madden, FIFA, NHL and Tiger Woods are what they are, every year.

                            I disagree since they are so poorly done most of the time that even the most casual of gamers would be turned off of them by now and they usually only last a few hours of gameplay simply as a diversion. The bread and butter of any sports game is always the career/season mode and online. People like to lose themselves in a season mode, that's why NBA2K12 and Madden have suffered sales drops in recent years because the career mode has stayed essentially the same and they waste the new stuff with fluff pieces.

                            Fight Night Champion followed the same path as TW13. Using the same boring career template with minor cosmetic changes and adding a story mode instead and sales flopped. I expect the same to happen with TW13 especially compared to TW12 which relied on Augusta to increase sales. Playing as Tiger when he was kid is hardly going to have people flock in droves to buy it.

                              I would like to see their research on this. When I think core buyer... I think of someone like myself.. I have purchased TW every year since 2002. Play it as my primary game. And know it inside and out. Maybe they think that no matter what they do, people like me will buy. I would consider however that their first intros to the new game would only work on those most loyal to the game. It should be to get that person interested. We are the only ones paying attention right now. As you get closer to launch, you can begin to market toward the "Casual" gamer and try to pick up some additional sales there.

                              My point is that the marketing of games from EA in general seems counter intuitive. Only hardcore fans pay attention 6 months before release. Give them red meat first and save the "gimmicks" for when the gimmick buyer really pays attention. My first reaction about a new "Story" mode is likely the reaction of most who frequent this place... To sum up its... "Are you kidding me?"
