I don't think Westwood or Kaymer are members of the PGA Tour, are they?

Nope, they aren't. Of course, neither are any of the women in the game.

Picked mine up, listened to the weird commentary thing by Jim Nance where I had to swing three times to win the Masters, and now I'm setting up Photo Game Face with an Xbox Live Vision camera that I found buried. I haven't tried it in a few years, but I remember it used to be that EA Sport's Tiger Woods website would routinely crash from people uploading their own Photo Game Face pictures, so ever since I've been doing it with the Xbox Live Camera.

Just got home with my copy... I have a PS3 so I paid the extra $10 for the collectors edition... still only cost me $16 after taxes and everything because I had a $60 gift card to Best Buy that I got at work.

Anyways, its doing the Game Face thing right now but so far it looks pretty good... enough so that I'll waste countless hours playing it over the next few months.

Picked up my Xbox copy earlier today. Did anyone's come with an instruction manual? These used to be in every game back in my day, but I only have registration codes included in mine!

None here. My BIL just dropped it off. Kind of annoying.

None here either. But if you press the Start button during gameplay, you can select "Software Manual" from the menu and access it that way. Unfortunately I am on a SD T.V. for a week or so, and the menus and manual are basically unreadable in SD (as with all EA Sports games). Kinda pissed that there is no paper manual and the courses cost so damn much. About $70 more in Microsoft courses (in addition to the $60 + taxes for the game) if you want all of the courses. But the gameplay is pretty good, aside from a few annoyances (most of which I suspect I could figure a way around given a manual).

So in all of your opinions, what's the verdict on the gameplay so far?

I played the back 9 at Augusta with a buddy really quick tonight because I'm having to do work stuff, but I'm glad I was able to get it in. I've been playing this game for years now, and Augusta, in my opinion, is unlike any other course I've ever played in that game. The place is beautifully recreated, IMO. I CANNOT wait until I get time to start my career, especially after reading quotes such as this one from Owen Good's review of the game at Kotaku :

Quote:

Tiger Woods PGA Tour 12: The Masters is one of the richest and most memorable experiences I have ever had, not just as a sports gamer, but as a sports fan. It is highly recommended for all sports fans, and mandatory for anyone who loves golf.

Those of you that have gotten some PT in, what do you think?

Graphically the game is awesome but I haven't been a fan of the way the game plays in the last couple years. I also can't stand the caddy but at least I'm getting to play a simulated version of Augusta National.

You know you can dismiss the caddy, right?

Also, I'm mildly disappointed... at the moment, it looks like the players' caddies don't correspond to their actual caddies.  I realize that getting everyone's caddy digitized might have been a chore, but if you're introducing caddies in a Tiger Woods game... can't you get Stevie?

Not this year, but expect it in the future. I'm actually kind of glad that aren't adding Kinect support this year, they would have had to half-ass the rest of the game to meet their release date. Remember the '06 EA Sports games? Absolutely terrible (and a total ripoff of $60) because they had to rush them to deliver them on time when the 360 came out. Next year they'll have an extra year to play around with Kinect, and really get it right.

My only criticisms of the game so far are the caddy and the putting.  Anyone else find that the caddy recommends the worst drives?  And the putting system is killing me.  I've had so many 4-putts after a GIR it's not even funny...I just can't make a smooth stroke yet.

I liked it a lot.  I think it will take a while to build a player though.  After  a few rounds I think I'll play most courses on fast mode when ever possible.  Course play too easy when is slow  or average mode.  The putting is a bit complicated but I am getting the hang of it.  I think I 4 putted 7 times yesterday.  But i working on building up my putting XP before any thing else.  Like real golf, putting makes or breaks you.

    • You might want to try a can of Bar Keepers Friend. Yes, it is abrasive, so just wet a sponge and dab it on. It has oxalic acid (no bleach like "Comet" kitchen cleanser), and it works wonders on stainless steel and other metals. Try it on a small area first to see what happens.
    • Fair   My uneducated thought: the big miss is the penalty area. If you want to optimize score, missing into the bunker (likely 5) is better than missing right into the penalty (possible 6). With that, your strategy seems sound and if you hit a committed shot, you get a bunker 5% of the time, take your medicine and hopefully get a putt for par but accept bogey. You may find yourself in a penalty situation 2-3% of the time and accept the associated outcome. The vast majority of the time though you are giving yourself a good approach shot into the green. 
    • I walk 30 mins a day on my lunch break. It is not very intense (since i dont want to get sweaty in my work clothes), so just a touch above leisurely. 3 days a week I walk on the treadmill for 60 mins. I alternate the incline from 4 to 10 for a couple minutes, once every ten minutes. I lift my kettlebells nearly everyday. I have a couple complex routines. I find just 15 minutes and my heart rates is elevated
