Tiger Woods 07 Preview (XBox 360)

[Jarno]

I love this series, the first golf/sports series I've followed on two systems and that I've actually been enthralled in.

The number one thing I like the most is the way and where the ball lands. It doesn't go perfectly straight everytime. EA has created a randomly imporvised matrix on the balls landing surface which picks where the ball will land, so it will land in a area not huge but respectable. Makes the game hopefully a little harder! I hate how I could blow past the competition even on tour difficulty.

I can't wait to see this one!

I'm looking most forward to the new circle aiming target instead on the dot, much harder and more realistic hopefully. :D

Just traded in my xbox and ps2, with some games to get Woods 07 and the new Splinter Cell!

Definitely looking forward to play Tiger the most!

I'm not sure when I'll get the game, but I'm sure it will be sometime in the next couple days. I'm still trying to decide if I'm going to trade in NBA Live or not. Either way, Tiger Woods 2007 will be coming to the Thrasher household before the weekend.

I'm pumped!

I'm not sure if any of you read Bill Simmons on EPSN's Page 2 but he wrote a great article where he played the new TW 07 with Tiger for a bit, very interesting article.

...there's lots of graphic slow down and only SIX courses! I know they are adding an additional 6 for 07 but it would be nice if they threw us a bone and have some downloadable courses for 06...

that's why I'm sticking with the PC. ALL courses are available to import, from all the older versions. Further it comes with the Course Designer - if you're patient enough you can build your own or download off the web several hundreds of user-created courses.

Only thing that bothers me - all imported courses are not used when you're in carreer mode They are also controllers in form of a 1/2 length golf club... you can actually swing the club to control the game. I didn't go to this extreme, but it's there if you want it!

I have the XB360 and I say that Links 2K4 is by far the best golf game for the XB. It's backwards compatible so you can buy the XBOX version, the only version actually, and it will play on the XB360. The thing with the TW golf is anyone can get good at it..I mean if I can get 2 hole in one's the first time I played it then there's something wrong..and for the record I haven't gotten a HIO on Links 2K4 and I've had it for over 4 years..sounds normal..lol

You obviously have the difficulty setting set to rookie or something, cause if you put it on tour difficulty it's not nearly as easy as you say.....

On a different note....why did you dig a 1.5 year old thread?

lol..I was searching to see if they made LINKS 2K? for the XB360 and found this post..lol..yeah..it's old.
