I'm not a big gamer, but this preview of the 1934 edition of the Masters from EA Sports is pretty cool:

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

I wonder if they are going to tone down the equipment and green speeds to match the times too.  The course was also shorter then than it is now, and there was no rough anywhere.  Fairways weren't cut as tight, and the entire property was cut to the same height.  That was still true even in Nicklaus' day.

Looking at the putt Bobby Jones rolled in at the end of the video... It doesn't look like the greens will be slow.  But it does look like beyond the green - all of the grass is the same length.  You definitely couldn't distinguish between the fairway and rough - at least from that video.

I agree, but it's sometimes hard to tell in a cut scene video clip.  I don't think that we were seeing actual game play.

The clothing, equipment, etc. will be like it was back in 1934 which is going to be pretty neat for sure.  The Legends Mode (challenging guys like Jack, Arnie, Bobby Jones, Seve, etc.) will feature this kind of realism as well.  I'm looking forward to this year's game, but then again, I always get it.  LOL.

At least they seem to be offering something different than just the standard game and online play. While I usually buy the game every year, I am definitely more excited for the historic angle for the 2014 edition.

An excellent marketing concept. It could (and probably will) open up a whole new genre of sim games - I can see a 1940s version with Hogan/Snead/Nelson, a 1960s with Palmer/Nicklau/Player, etc.

If it's 1934-edition of Hogan, get ready to play a bunch of snap hooks.

When I reviewed the game last year, I wrote about how my favorite of the various single-player modes over the years was the 2005 game, when they had Hogan, Seve, Nicklaus, and Palmer. I thought they did a really good job that year of making those players very realistic, not only when it came to the swing but also to their playing characteristics (Seve, for example, was downright amazing around the greens). If they can build that in and then add to it the old-timey course stuff (which they omitted in 2005), it could be interesting.

For whatever reason the old courses and players don't appeal to me as far as the video game goes. I'm probably in the minority in that respect, but all I really want out of the game is a good amount courses to choose from a good career mode and a lot of equipment to choose from.

I agree with you on the old courses and players thing.  I don't mind it much this year because it's been awhile, but I'd much rather have 8 more current golfers as long as they are high-quality.  Luckily, the roster for Tiger 14 is the biggest it's been.  Still, I'd love to see guys like Mickelson (never gonna happen), Westwood, etc.  And I agree with you on the courses thing as well.  That's probably what I look forward to hearing about the most every year the game is announced.  They have added some good ones this year (Muirfield Village, Oak Hill, etc.).

And supposedly, the career mode has been revamped.  It's LONG overdue, and I'm hopeful it's better than what it has been in the past.  I didn't touch the career mode in Tiger 13, but the Tiger Legacy mode has been surprisingly fun.  I'm ready to jump back into career mode in Tiger 14.

      Strategy on Neshanic Valley Ridge #2

      By p1n9183 ·

      Last year I made an excel that can easily measure with my own SG data the average score for each club of the tee. Even the difference in score if you aim more left or right with the same club. I like it because it can be tweaked to account for different kind of rough, trees, hazards, greens etc.     As an example, On Par 5's that you have fescue on both sides were you can count them as a water hazard (penalty or punch out sideways), unless 3 wood or hybrid lands in a wider area between the fescue you should always hit driver. With a shorter club you are going to hit a couple less balls in the fescue than driver but you are not going to offset the fact that 100% of the shots are going to be played 30 or more yards longer. Here is a 560 par 5. Driver distance 280 yards total, 3 wood 250, hybrid 220. Distance between fescue is 30 yards (pretty tight). Dispersion for Driver is 62 yards. 56 for 3 wood and 49 for hybrid. Aiming of course at the middle of the fairway (20 yards wide) with driver you are going to hit 34% of balls on the fescue (17% left/17% right). 48% to the fairway and the rest to the rough.  The average score is going to be around 5.14. Looking at the result with 3 wood and hybrid you are going to hit less balls in the fescue but because of having longer 2nd shots you are going to score slightly worst. 5.17 and 5.25 respectively.    Things changes when the fescue is taller and you are probably going to loose the ball so changing the penalty of hitting there playing a 3 wood or hybrid gives a better score in the hole.  Off course 30 yards between penalty hazards is way to small. You normally have 60 or more, in that cases the score is going to be more close to 5 and been the Driver the weapon of choice.  The point is to see that no matter how tight the hole is, depending on the hole sometimes Driver is the play and sometimes 6 irons is the play. Is easy to see that on easy holes, but holes like this:  you need to crunch the numbers to find the best strategy.

      Is This Club Blatantly Sandbagging?

      By Ty_Webb ·

      Very much so. I think the intimidation factor that a lot of people feel playing against someone who's actually very good is significant. I know that Winged Foot pride themselves on the strength of the club. I think they have something like 40-50 players who are plus something. Club championships there are pretty competitive. Can't imagine Oakmont isn't similar. The more I think about this, the more likely it seems that this club is legit. Winning also breeds confidence and I'm sure the other clubs when they play this one are expecting to lose - that can easily become a self-fulfilling prophecy.

      Ah ok I misunderstood. But you did bring to light an oversight on my part.
