Yes, it's pretty fun. [quote name="TitleistWI" url="/t/55815/tiger-woods-pga-13/36#post_691532"]

Can you even play this year's version with just the controller?

Not to mention that the new CEO of Sony has vowed to return the company to the market dominance that it enjoyed in the past.  I expect nothing less than the PS4 being the best game system on the marke

I pre-ordered the master's edition at gamestop yesterday. It comes with 6 extra courses, so easily worth the extra $10. From watching some of the demo video's on youtube along with EA's own demo's, this looks like the best version yet. The last few versions have been essentially the same game with a few small changes here and there. The only reason I bought last year's was for Augusta. Otherwise, I would have skipped it.

The guy's at EA seemed to listen to the people in their forums and made a lot of changes that were suggested. The new swing style looks really awesome. I hope they kept the expert style putting stroke from previous versions that doesn't have any visual meters. Can't wait till Tuesday!

I too pre-ordered the collector's edition, which is available on Xbox 360 this year, as opposed to last year when it was only on PS3. Still kind of pissed that if you want all of the courses, you're out something like $100.

How can you putt without the meter? I've tried, but find it impossible. The little joystick on the controller is so small, so the room for error is miniscule. I like to turn off as many visual aids and spin control and all that, but I'd shoot 100 without the putting meter. I could shoot lower in real life haha

Well, on the hardest mode, it's the only option. I've used that method for most versions of the game and prefer it to the meter. As I recall, TW 2012 had that annoying circle to tell you where to aim. That would drive me up a wall to use.

I'm playing on Xbox btw. Perhaps it's different on playstation.

It's the same, I just can't do it. I blow putts 50 feet by the hole when I don't have the meter. I have no way of knowing how far back I'm taking the putter.

Ah yes the "green circle of lies" I swear I would only make like 1 out of 3 putts using that circle. I'm not sad it's gone...

Is everyone on Xbox or PS3 for this?  I'd like to join a TST Country Club, but I'm only on PS3 these days the little bit that I get on.  I still have a challenge on the hardest level on last years TW with the putting, there's gotta be a way to improve it.

I started an online country club on EA Sports' website (pretty sure it's cross-platform, I'm not positive), it's called "The Sand Trap CC." I would have spelled out country club, but I ran out of letters, and the logo is dumb but it's one of the few golf-related ones they had, and I tried to get the colors at least close.

http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/122/1221576p1.html The review of Tiger 13 on IGN. Not very good, but I suspect the reviewer isn't an avid golfer and likely looks at it differently than we would. It's kind of like NASCAR games, I always enjoy them and the reviewers always seem to think they suck. One concern I do have is how so many of the courses are locked, and you can't even buy them as DLC. I suspect they'll add that ability in the future, because what company doesn't like more money. That said, I'm glad to see joining an online CC will help make that progression faster. Looking forward to getting this today and hopping online.

Most of the complaints about the new "Total Swing Control" is what's going to make this game so awesome. I guess if you don't know anything about golf and bought the game, you might be at a disadvantage (which this reviewer appears to be). But, I think most of the people who buy this game are golfers and will enjoy the control. This version has addressed to much that the people who buy the game every year have been looking for.

2.5 hours until I go pickup my copy.

Here is another review, giving the game a lot more credit.

Just picked up the game about 30 minutes ago, someone should start a new thread so we can get a TST Country Club going. The Country Club feature seems pretty neat.

      Driver and 3W Swing Weight Changes, Make Sense?

      By saevel25 · Posted

      In terms of ball striking, not really. Ball striking being how good you are at hitting the center of the clubface with the swing path you want and the loft you want to present at impact.  In terms of getting better launch conditions for the current swing you have, it is debatable.  It depends on how you swing and what your current launch conditions are at. These are fine tuning mechanisms not significant changes. They might not even be the correct fine tuning you need. I would go spend the $100 to $150 dollars in getting a club fitting over potentially wasting money on changes that ChatGPT gave you.  New grips are important. Yes, it can affect swing weight, but it is personal preference. Swing weight is just one component.  Overall weight effects the feel. The type of golf shaft effects the feel of the club in the swing. Swing weight effects the feel. You can add so much extra weight to get the swing weight correct and it will feel completely different because the total weight went up. Imagine swinging a 5lb stick versus a 15lb stick. They could be balanced the same (swing weight), but one will take substantially more effort to move.  I would almost say swing weight is an old school way of fitting clubs. Now, with launch monitors, you could just fit the golfer. You could have two golfers with the same swing speed that want completely different swing weight. It is just personal preference. You can only tell that by swinging a golf club.

      Driver and 3W Swing Weight Changes, Make Sense?

      Thanks for the comments. I fully understand that these changes won't make any big difference compared to getting a flawless swing but looking to give myself the best chance of success at where I am and hopefully lessons will improve the swing along the way. Can these changes make minor improvements to ball striking and misses then that's fine. From what I understood about changing the grips, which is to avoid them slipping in warm and humid conditions, is that it will affect the swing weight since midsize are heavier than regular and so therefore adding weight to the club head would be required to avoid a change of feel in the club compared to before?

      Dr. Raymond Prior and Block vs. Random Practice (The Spin Axis Podcast)

      I think part of it is there hasn't been enough conclusive studies specific to golf regarding block studies. Maybe the full swing, you can't study it because it is too complicated and to some degree it will fall into variable or random.

      Going one step stiffer in the golf shaft, of the same make and model will have minor impact on the launch conditions. It can matter, it is a way to dial in some launch conditions if you are a few hundred RPM off or the angle isn't there. Same with moving weights around. A clubhead weights 200-220 grams. You are shifting a fraction of that to move the CG slightly. It can matter, again its more about fine tuning. As for grip size, this is more personal preference. Grip size doesn't have any impact on the swing out of personal preference.  You are going to spend hundreds of dollars for fine tuning. Which if you want, go for it. I am not sure what your level of play is, or what your goals in golf are.  In the end, the golf swing matters more than the equipment. If you want to go to that level of detail, go find a good golf club fitter. ChatGPT is going to surface scan reddit, golfwrx, and other popular websites for the answers. Basically, it is all opinionated gibberish at this point.
