Tiger Woods 2012

where do you adjust the AI in the tourneys. Im in round 3 of the TPC and would like it to be a little closer. Is it something you do when the tourney starts or is it at the main menu

It's at the Road to the Masters menu. Go to My Career>Options>Game Options. You can choose from Normal, Low, Extremely Low, and Insane. Low will put the majority of the field shooting in the mid 60's, and the leaders shooting in the low 60's.

I am a little bit interested in picking this up..

This is the best golf game EA has put out since the Sega Genesis days.

changed the AI just to "low" and the fuckers where shooting 62-63-65. Makes it alot moer interesting. Damn putting is so touchy though

My wait seems to be paying off....

Fry's weekly ad shows they have it for $44.96....with my gc & certificates, I should get it for $10.

edit: In store only.

Nice. Its still a great deal at $45. I think the "power up" attributes for golfer cost more this year too. Still dont know how some of these guys are hitting 430 yard drives for Gamerpoints.

Im ranked 64 with TaylorMade sponsor. Nearly hit my first hole in one yesterday at TPC.
The tourney after the TPC is a "purchase" course then the USOpen

 

[ryne candy]

Picked up the 360 version for $12.85 out of pocket.

So I assume this game is worth a buy?

Every other game I own has collected dust since I got this. I guess that means "yes" in this corner.

What's the create a golfer like?

What's the create a golfer like?

Same as every other year, but one change - I'm forced to wear a fucking hat or visor. I never wore a hat or visor in previous years.
And when I create my 2nd golfer - a hot chick - I don't want my girl wearing a hat or visor.

You don't have to wear a hat/visor...I've gone hatless quite a few times.

How do you do it?

How do you do it?

Go into the pro shop, down to hats, find the one you have checked, and just uncheck it.

Make sure you're not wearing a sponsor uniform, or you indeed cannot take the hat off.

I bought the "Eagle course pack" tonight. I already had TW 12 collectors edition.
With the Eagle pack, I now have 34 courses (35 if you count Augusta Par 3).
Only course I don't have is Bethpage Black - they haven't released it for the ps3 yet.
I have Turnberry because of my Gamestop pre-order code.

Thanks man.

I hate hats and visors. Never, ever wear them in real life.
If I were a real life golfer, just the sunglasses.

im thinking about picking this up. i cant find a deal though. sounds like a good one, but i dont want to spend $60 and get burned by another EA Sports title

 

[Maynard]

i thought there was only like 17 courses? how many did u get with that collectors edition?

The Collector's Edition has 19 courses, if I'm not mistaken.
The eagle pack added the others.
I went through all the courses just to count them. Like I said, 34 (but 35 with the Augusta Par 3).

So I got my golfer in the 70's as far as skill goes...shot a 55 the other day on a tourney, decided to up my skill level.

Started playing on TOUR Pro at the UK Open (St. Andrews), son of a bitch I hate that course. Shot a 69 the first two rounds, but made it my bitch the second day with a 64 (-8). -14 overall, and I have an eight stroke lead headed into the final day.

TOUR Pro is ridiculous hard. No spin and boost doesn't bother me, no putt preview is a little difficult, but what really gets me is how unforgiving the hooks/slices are. Jesus Christ, if you're just a LITTLE off it goes into the next county.

Not ridiculous. Real golf.
You pay for mistakes.
