I wish I was in a position to offer a better assessment of Tiger 14’s difficulty, but I must admit I didn’t play it enough to give a qualified opinion. The Simulation difficulty level was tough to master for sure, but not for reasons that I could fully associate with the action being modeled (swinging a golf club) with the thumbstick. The relatively extreme degree of axis tilt you had to execute with the stick to, in effect, hit the ball straight didn’t jive with my senses. It just felt a bit contrived to me. I also didn’t like having to hold the right stick on a disappearing “strike point” mark on the ball… that again felt contrived to me, as I had no analog to it in my real golf swing process.

Tiger 14 was also the last straw for my tolerance of follow cam. I’ve never been a fan of follow cam, but Tiger 14’s follow cam was the most poorly executed one I’d ever seen. I disliked it so much that I’m not sure I could have played the game long, even if it had an interface that felt “naturally” difficult. There was another presentation option in Tiger 14 that I think was called “Broadcast”” cam, but it was horrifically bad.

Tiger 10’s interface proved to me that a diagonal swing wasn’t necessary to introduce a difficultly into the swing interface that felt natural. Using the Club Tuner tool that was part of the game, I could dial my club sweetspots down into the teens and wind up with a swing that felt proportionally difficult to master for reasons that jelled with my senses. I’m hoping RMPGAT has some components of this, along with a tempo variable that factors into the shot result, in Tour Pro difficulty level. This something that no video, or hands-on preview will strive to answer, so I guess I’ll find out for myself tomorrow!

Interesting I loved the diagonal swing and disappearing cursor,I did not really care how the developers got there, I only cared that I really had to grind to shoot a good score, I am a pure sim head though, already sounds like RmPga will be easy at the hardest level just like I feared

I want my TW games back this new version is 10 years behind where TW was only the graphics have improved. If you like golf buy the golf club if you like rabbits and bugs on your screen then buy this game. A big disappointment and way too easy.
