Why the putting?! August 27, 2008
6 out of 18 found this review helpful
Bear in mind I've only played two rounds.
*The game seems to have some cool new features, many of which I have yet to explore.
*The Tiger challenge mode for earning points and raising your abilities is still annoyingly slow having to watch your opponent hit their awful shots.
*They were smart to cut back on the absurdly generous putt preview from '08 - though that could have been a much smaller allotment of preview time rather than a new system.
*The graphics are a bit improved and look great.
*I haven't played online yet, but if there are enough people out there, playing live will be sweet - maybe enough reason to buy the game.
**I cannot believe they messed with the putting system from '08.
It was the most comfortable and intuitive system (you adjusted the length and speed of your swing and had so much feel) and I was sure it could never be topped - but for some reason they decided to attempt that and completely blew it. Now it's back to WiiSports style full swing on every putt and feels awful - no connection at all to a realistic stroke.
***The first time I created a character and started playing there was a glitch where my A button would not zoom in, making the game essentially unplayable if you can't see where your shot is landing. Reseting did nothing, I had to delete my profile and start a new one and it was corrected. Had I taken the time to fully customize my facial features it would have been incredibly irritating. As is, I hope it was a one time thing, doesn't happen to others, and doesn't randomly occur midway through my season.
The putting won't keep me from playing and, if I'm allowed to edit my review, I'll see if my feelings need revision after some more time with the new system. I'll also post whether online competition is readily available. If not, and if you played and liked the '08 version, I'd say pass for now.
Sorry EA, but you ruined the perfect putt.
-John
