Lot's of vids from the lead designer coming out threw Operation Sports. (Demo out March 6th too)
Lot's of emphasis on gaining different types of 'pins' from accomplishments. One group has to do with folks who join a 'club'. This can be a made up club (eg. GWJ Duffers...Bashers...Gophers...etc), or pick a course name. Regardless, the club members individual accomplishments can help all club members gain bonuses with rewarded pins for play. Besides posting individual accomplishments by club members.
Anyway check out the videos at Operation Sports. Perhaps too, those interested can form up a club. And hopefully on-line affair will be smoothe enough for those of us to play each other for fun and fame.
As an aside it looks like this game will be total Kinect implementation. So that should be really fun too (although as I found out playing 12 with the PS 3 'Move' motion detector, you have to practice as much as in real life to get a 'feel' for the clubs).
Looking forward to trying out the Demo for this to see just how well the Kinect integration works.
I have it pre-ordered, so I will be interested in joining a club if someone creates one here.
I am 90% on board. I think the Country Club stuff looks pretty awesome.
I have bought every version of Tiger Woods since I can't remember when. But I played last years version so seldom (didn't even finish a season on solo play) that I actually think I'm gonna skip it this year and I feel okay with it. I haven't seen anything that would make me REALLY want to play this year's iteration.
I skipped last year's, because I felt like they really ruined the gameplay with the addition of the Caddy.
It looks like they brought TrueAim back, and added an Online Country Club feature that may even trump SSX's fantastic RiderNet. It feels like the upgrade to TW 11 is what I had hoped 12 would have been. So I am most likely in.
Demo is up and supposedly includes the Kinect functionality. Definitely going to try it out.
I found the menu navigation and shot aiming to be a little awkward. I'll give the demo a few more chances before I decide though.
I was actually tempted to pick Tiger 13 up. I liked the demo okay and the Kinect functionality is actually kinda cool, but wouldn't want to always play that way.
But then I saw a DLC pack of courses for $39. $39!!! That's $100 for the base game and a decent amount of courses.
I'll pass.
I decided to pick it up. After a couple rounds, I like the changes to the swing mechanic. Also the caddie thankfully can be not used at all. The expensive DLC will probably keep me away from adding courses unless there's a sale later. The Kinect controls were a little fun, but lacked the precision of a controller. I'll still play around with it more.
How many courses come with just the basic game? There sure is an awful lot of Day 1 DLC with this one...
I did rent this today. Has anyone gotten involved with the country club stuff? Anyone playing it at all?
I'm getting closer to being enabled. I was not impressed by the little time I put in with it during the early release, but it is getting rave impressions over at DSP.
I rented this one, but it just didn't grab me. I don't like that it doesn't have the percentages any longer. For me, that just made the game too difficult. I can't take my time as tempo in your swing means a lot too. That just took out too much that made the game enjoyable. Guess I'll stick with last year's version.
By the way, I signed up for for the GWJ CC. So that's two of us!
I was finally enabled. I've spent some time with it yesterday and today, and I am finding a lot to enjoy. It would be cool if we mustered up a few guys for the CC.
Picked this up, but haven't gotten past creating my golfer. Will sign up for the CC when I find the time to play again.
BTW, if anyone buys TW 13 used, I have a free Online Pass to offer up to the first non-grinder.
I rented the game on Friday and decided I wanted to buy it. I bought the online pass thinking I would pick it up used, and I wanted to check out the Country club and Play the Pros modes. Gamestop had no used copies, but it was on sale. So now I have the Online Pass from that.
Just picking this up again. 360. Gamer tag: Edgar Newt
Anybody still active and in a CC?
