Tiger Woods PGA Tour 13 Review (360/PS3)

Re: Tiger Woods PGA Tour 13 Review (360/PS3)

Last year's game was frustrating because it wasn't customizable enough. This year they have done a great job improving that. Tiger is a game that lots of different types can enjoy. The people who want their 400 yard bombs with spin in the air can enjoy the same game as those of us who want a sim.

Fair score imo.. learning curve is steeper but that makes it even more fun

I'm baffled by the submissive attitude to corporations as shown in a few posts here. At what point does the amount of $ that it costs to play the game too much? If $150 isn't too much for one year of a video game then what is?

But the thing is, it doesn't cost $150 to play the game.

It costs $59.99 (or less if you can find a deal).

The DLC is 100% optional. If you get the game & play it so much that you want more content, you can pay for additional content. If you don't want to pay anything beyond the $59.99 price for the disc, you can still enjoy a complete game with a ton of content.

And that's not even touching on the fact that you can unlock the extra courses without spending extra money this year.

I still don't see why people are defending the DLC policy that TW has. I agree there should be SOME DLC, but to have 15-20 courses for free, and have 20-25 that you are almost forced to pay for is a bit of a joke.

Now I bought all the DLC for '12, but I got the game for less than £15 so i didn't mind. I believe EA loses money because of many people who will wait to get the game cheap because they believe that only then does it become worthwhile.

I agree that 2004 was the best all-round PGA game until '12, and all the courses were free.

At least reduce the DLC pricing structure to 0.50 per course or something like that, which is a lot more reasonable.

People are defending it because through 2011 you only had the option to pay per course with no package deals. The package deals bring the DLC into the fair range for many of us. Add in the fact that now you can get every course unlocked without any real world $ and it shouldn't be that hard to see. Free from the start would be great, but what we've had the last 2 years is much improved.

Seriously? Licensed PGA TOUR as well as other World Class courses for $.50 each? Sorry, never going to happen. If you had any idea what it cost EA to create each course (licensing fees, going to the course and laser-mapping, laser-scanning the course, the acquiring GPS data for building the 3D terrain, then the painstaking hours that the course artists spend getting the course to look and play accurately), you would not make such absurd comments. Links 2004 had 2 whole DLC courses that were not licensed and they were $5.00 each and had nowhere near the resources that EA puts into their courses. Not to mention Links only came with 6 courses to begin with. Three years ago, Tiger DLC was $7.50 each and a couple of courses were $10.00 each. With TW13, you can get an 11 course pack for $39.99 which also comes with a bonus new licensed PGA TOUR course as well. Sorry, but when I see DLC pricing as well as options to acquire DLC courses without spending a penny as well, you are darn right I am going to support the direction EA is going with DLC courses. If you can't see it, then I don't know what else to say other than find another game to play.....

How can you not comment on the removal of GamerNet?!?!?! That was a fantastic feature they tore from the game. When it comes to TW I know EA will whore out the DLC that I'll pay for because me and my friends play online a lot. I agree its dispicable, but hey, its EA.
I don't know anyone who still used the antiquated 3 click method, so that doesn't really bother me. But the outright removal of a great feature like GamerNet is a travesty. I saw you can still sort of play the pros, in the tournaments section... But I don't know if that's just for the Masters, or will be a recurring thing.

I don't miss Gamernet one bit. All it was good for were arcade players to see how many 400+ yard drives they could hit. No one I know who plays the game used it. I tried it when it first came out and used it twice and have not used it since. Sorry you think it should have stayed in.

And yes, Play the Pros is still in the game.

Gamernet became kind of pointless once the game was out for some time.

Someone would hole out an approach shot and post it as a "close approach". After awhile that was all there was. It was a great idea, but ultimately it didn't add anything to the game.

Re: Tiger Woods PGA Tour 13 Review (360/PS3)

Game is absolutely fantastic so far. Perhaps the most fun that I have had with a sports title in some time.

I am loving the swing meter (I was a three click person), the ball set up, checking your lie. It is very immersive.
The game is very unforgiving on Pro Tour difficulty (or whatever it is called). I play with no shot previews, no pin boosts, and caddie on manual (however, I only use him a maximum of 3 times on the course and they are usually on putts) and it is absolutely kicking my butt. My average round right now is an 81. Granted I am just starting on my CAG, but wow, I can't compete in the Nationwide tournament. I made the cut by one stroke on the first tournament, but ended up placing 42nd at +20 for the four rounds. I did pick up a hole in one on the 17th at Kiawah, total shock when that thing went down.

There just seems like so much to do. From the Career mode, to the Country Club, to course mastery, to unlocking pro shop items. Holy crap. I need to go play a round.

This isn't Russia... Is this Russia?.... This isn't Russia...

Its called capitalism. I for one will likely spend about $150 total on the game and will get every dollars worth. This generation feels they should simply be given what they want for basically nothing. You deserve to get nothing in life. EA will charge a price and consumers will either pay for it, or not pay for it. EA will then decide to lower the price or quit making the game. They have even now given you a choice.. Pay or have patience... Lord knows you have to have it now... and its not fair you should have to pay... Seriously, stop complaining and put up or shut up... either pay for the game or do choose to keep your money... The constant whining on this is getting very old...

Heh... I see what ya did there... :-)

i think since the new download has been added theirs been a lot of difficulties in putting an moving the dam thing round but if the **** up gets sorted i think it could go back to ebing a good game instead of struggling to take shots an things generally as before the the download it was easier to play along with friends now its just to dam hard

I traded this game in after owning it for a week. Just not the same as old tiger woods.
