Tiger Woods PGA '13

[Jwat381]

Not sure how many of you play the EA Sports video games, but I love them. I usually customize the difficulty to make it a challenge, but sometimes it's fun to rattle off 6 straight birdies on the easier settings. Anyway, it's a month away from the new release. I wish they'd add one of the Bandon Dunes courses, not that I've ever played there, but it's a world renown course in my somewhat backyard.

I own TW11 on Wii and love it. I did think about getting TW12 on PS3 with a Move controller but it was a fair amount to shell out for the hardware and software at once, especially as the game didn't seem to have that much different about it (as usual with EA's franchises)

I'd definitely think about TW13 on PS3 though. I like the new "Young Tiger" idea just to add some more fun to the game. Also I sincerely hope they remove that silly frisbee game.

Yeah for sure, I know it's hard to pony up the money when they don't change a bunch, but this year it sounds like changes are a plenty. The new swing features are awesome, and the "shotshapeaholics" will have a blast trying all types of different swing set-ups. Hell, might even help your real game out on the course, just in how you think on the golf course. Not that farfetched of an idea.

Ill be getting it as well. Not sure if i want to get it for xbox or ps3. Ill probably get it on ps3 just because I dont play many games on that but I think the graphics are a little better.

"Shotshapeaholics"?

Well fingers crossed they use the correct ball flight laws, not "shape this ball from right to left in a draw by rotating your right hand over the left at impact" ;)

I am going to get it for 360 because more people I know have 360 and I never feel like turning my PS3 on.  I am sure its just as good for both systems though.

I sold my copy of '12 a few months ago. It didn't really hold any long-term value to me, but I'll probably be buying it again (in addition to '13), because '13 is dropping TPC Boston, which is the only course on the Tiger Woods games I've ever played. It looks like '13 is going to have most of the same things that annoyed me about '12, in that you'll have to pay well over $100 if you want all of the features, courses, and players.

[Jwat381]

Someone started a thread titled "Shotshapeaholic" so I was just making a little reference to that. If you're playing with an actual controller, and maybe even the Wii or Kinect, you can set up stance, swing tempo, plane, and where on the ball you hit, all on each shot. It sounds pretty cool and should open up a lot of variety with each and every club in your virtual bag.

Thankfully, I did just figure out how to get Live to work here at school, so when it comes out (or now, either way), my Xbox gamer tag (are they still called that?) is Jamo358 if anyone wants to play me.

One of these days, I'll get a headset and/or a keyboard for my controller so I can try online games without being all awkward and quiet during it. I'm DocShindig on that service, although my live account expires around Masters Sunday, so I need to renew that...

I think Tiger Woods '12 is a great game.  I've only had the game for a couple weeks but still amazed by how accurate and realistic the swings and response are.  This also considering I haven't played a TW game since the '08 version.

The keyboard is $8 less than normal on Amazon, and if you have a regular old Bluetooth headset, that should work. (I'm pretty sure you don't need the official one, but I'll test out mine this coming weekend.)

Okay... so, the one on Amazon looks like it has a keypad and a wired headset for $23. I think I'll hurry up and get this, given my habit of waiting forever to decide (and sometimes letting inertia keep me from making a purchase). I've got tons of bluetooth headsets - some cheap ones from woot, plus a moderate-to-good one that I use with my phone when I'm driving. So if a normal one works, I'll kick myself for going almost a year without chatting.

It's going to have a Rory McIlroy legacy mode as well: [VIDEO]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iSxar6dXq3g&feature;=youtu.be[/VIDEO] I'm assuming that's included in the U.S. version (which has Fowler on the cover, not Rory), but I don't think they've said so explicitly.

[MiniBlueDragon]

Funny; in the game Rory's swings look slow compared to his real swing.

[GaijinGolfer]

I'll probably pick it up.  Ive got TW '12 and its great.  Not sure how I feel about the legacy mode.  It kind of reminds me of the old, "Cybertiger" game from the early '00s.

[binga7]

When do you think the game will change names, like Rory McIllroy pga tour, or Rickie Fowler pga tour? Has been tigers game for so long, but eventually they'll have to change it.

P.S. Im not a tiger hater either.

[Weekend Whacker]

I just bought TW 12 and so far i like it, but is there any more courses or golfers that you can unlock without buying them? I've looked for cheat codes just to see if it said anything about it but couldn't find any.
