Probably not as excited as you are, as im more of a golf sim. (although i'll buy it regardless) fan over an arcade style game play. I just bought a Philips HD, LCD TV for the sole purpose of playing xbox 360 on it. That said the only games i really play involve sports but with the recent xbox360.. price drops at $300 Canadian its well worth it.

Not really excited, should I be? Is there anything different from '07? I usually only buy sports games every 2-3 years. This way it actually feels like I'm playing a new game and not the same game with a different cover. Still addicted to TW 2007.

Thats EA sports for ya, guess its too much work to entirely revamp the game play every year. About a year and a half ago i heard rumours of a golf fame coming out for PS3 called PGA Championship 2008 which looked amazing, but i havent heard anything about it since then.

I'm pretty excited. They added a couple new courses and the new feature I can't wait for is called photo game face. You take a front and a side photo of your own face and it maps it into the game. A couple of game websites tried it out and it came out pretty cool. The online modes will be neat as well.

I do not have an xbox 360 so I am firstly not getting it because of that.
The commentary is the same as 2007 (and has been the same for a few years)
The graphics are similar
The gameplay is very similar

The only reason I would buy it would be because I could buy a square driver from the virtual pro shop just for the sake of it. lol.

Though if I did have a 360 I would probably get it.

I'm not and likely won't buy it. The Wii version still doesn't have very good control, from what IGN says, and that makes it a no-buy for me. I want good control.

No. Just about every year is basically a remake of last year's. Same with all EA Sports games. They just rip people off who are dumb enough to buy each for $50 at the beginning of each year. Seriously. I'd bet their sports games make more than any other department simply because they can stick a new number on the box and charge $50 all over again.

I would only buy it if the game came with a course creator/editor. I might download it when it comes out, though.

Over in UK we've got a demo off Xbox Marketplace, I think it's really good and an improvement on last year. It's very realistic, draw is hard to play, you slice and hook more, and fade is a very safe shot.

Can ANYONE hit the ball even REMOTELY CLOSE to straight in this game? The last TW game I played was '05 for the original Xbox (and last time I played it was 2 weeks ago) and I was incredibly awesome at the game. Heck I beat Tiger by like 4 or 5 holes. I CANNOT control the swing in this game. I shot a 10 on the first 3 holes because I couldn't keep the ball from going OB.

Is there any way to reduce the sensitivity on this thing? It's borderline impossible.

I downloaded and played the demo from the Xbox Live Marketplace, and I'm a little disappointed. Obviously you can turn it off (I hope), but the stupid putt preview thing makes it so easy, I wish it wasn't there. I got tempted during the demo.

As said in many online reviews, the swing control this year is REALLY sensitive. Which I don't like-I love realism, but with joysticks, it just gets too hard.

Overall I don't know that I'll be getting 08 although I was very excited for it. From what I hear, the 08 on the 360 is VERY glitchy, and for me 07 was glitchy enough, although I still love it.

      Hybrids

      By p1n9183 ·

      Have a 19° (moved to 20.5°) Titleist 915H. I just love the club. Beautiful feel off the sweetspot, high launch, soft landing. Versatile. In the future, with less overall speed I will replace my 4 and 5 irons with another hybrid, something around 26°.

      Last (Golf) Thing You Bought?

      By p1n9183 ·

      Broke the head of a Stealth Plus on a warm up. TaylorMade send me a new head but I decided to upgrade it to the new IQ10 LS and pay the difference. While I was waiting for the 8° head to arrive at the store I messed around with all the multi brand putts they had available. I instantly liked a black TaylorMade Spider, not the new one but very similar. The weight felt perfect. Big line in the middle for easy alignment. I was playing and old Zebra so the change in technology and feel was huge. Fast review of both clubs.. Driver QI10 LS. I always hit to ball up in the sky. I was playing the stealth at 7° with a 60g X low flight shaft and I was still hitting it pretty high. With the QI10 playing it at 6° now is almost hard for me to hit it high, with the same shaft the ball comes out lower and with less spin. so I'm really happy with the change. Putter Spider. I love it. It took me an afternoon to figure out how to grip it (it comes with a superStroke grip) but after that it all came into place. More stable on short putts and a good weight to swing smoothly on long putts and with added forgiveness over my old zebra.

      I have a 2h but we don’t get along anymore. It’s a bit of an abusive relationship - she gives me just enough hope once in a while that things are going to be better and then it’s back to the same old shit. I went to a PING fitting recently with the intention to replace the hybrid with a 5w or something, thinking maybe I’ll be better with a fairway wood than a hybrid. But it turns out the best club I hit that fits in that slot in the bag is another hybrid so I ordered it.

      Last (Golf) Thing You Bought?

      By GolfLug ·

      Not the last thing I bought or bought anything at all but Sun Day Red stuff seems a bit overpriced for it essentially being rebranded Nike apparel. I'm hearing the resale prices are wild though. Either way, I highly doubt I will indulge as I'm not much of a brand guy or a collector. But to keep up my super nice guy image have never turned down a gift though 😇 Tiger doesn't seem to sell stuff like MJ or Kanye did.
