Tiger Woods?

[DSpydr84]

I will be interested in this. Just a matter of if I can get the game or not.

OT: I have been to St. Andrews. The golf course is beautiful. I have my picture with my brother standing on the bridge on the course.

Well hopefully with the way cbgolfer and myself are setting this up, you can just hop on the tour whenever you want. If you get the game in December, we can get you ready to go the next day and you're fine. Ultimately, we wanted to keep this as flexible as possible for everyone, so you can come and go whenever you please and it won't disrupt the league.. and hopefully if we get a strong enough group of members originally, this will be the case.

And that's sweet you went to St. Andrews. Break 100?



As a side-note: what's everyone's opinion on having certain restrictions to player ratings? I was thinking about this in school today and it might help keep the -50 scores out of the league. Maybe limit everyone to a maximum rating of a 90 (or whatever number we decide) for each attribute. This way the BEST player you can possibly have on the course has 90's in every category, as opposed to 110's.

Let me know what you guys think...

i like and don't like the idea at the same time. It creates parity, but yet it takes away from your success. If your a good golfer, shouldn't you be awarded with gaining attribute points? Prospects in the MLB don't have to level out just because they're rookies.

i think it's an idea to be worked on.

Yeah, I'm reading some blogs though, and this may not even be necessary. It looks like they really worked on the poor/easy aspects of the game. Check out these two:

Precision putting. Basically it's a new putting system, which I love seeing. The old way used to make 90 foot putts basically tap-ins.

Club Distances. You can see that these are substantially tuned down, which is another great improvement. It'll be much more challenging to hit the green in 2 shots on a par 5 now, and apparently miss-hits are a lot less forgiving.

So with those two improvements, I think we won't have to worry too much about it. I just remember year's past where you could easily shoot a 55 with a stacked golfer, and I was trying to avoid that. But hopefully with these improvements, we won't see such a thing.


EDIT: That new putting thing looks SICK. I can't wait for this game now.

I didn't play golf at St. Andrews, was just standing on the course lol. You have to put your name and tee time in wayyyyyyyyyy in advance

I hear you there. I'm actually playing TPC Sawgrass in January 2010, we booked that December of 08 lol. My dad played at Torry Pines two weeks after the Open last year, he said all the bleachers were still up and it was pretty exciting even like that. I can't imagine playing in front of a huge gallery.

Is there any way to make sure everyone plays the same way? Like not having some guys use 3 click and some normal etc...?

set it up in pairs. You play online with two or three people in one group to make sure no one lies about there score and controls.

 

[DSpydr84]

We'll just make it a rule and respect everybody's word. If people are in this league to try and cheat or take short cuts, they're wasting their time.

im definitely in this if we're playing sim. tour pro is incredible, but the game is wack as hell on regular settings.

Sim? Is there such a thing as cheese in Tiger Woods? If there is, I don't want to know...

I havent played Tiger Woods since like 2007. I am pretty excited

Graphic Improvements Blog from a week ago:

Looks like the grass is similar to Madden artificial grass from 09, which is fine. It definitely looks better.

What we would like to do for this league is have an active, updated, live leaderboard for all rounds. Ravin and I have been chatting in the chatbox about it, and we think it would be a good idea to have a couple "Score Keepers".. and we will all exchange AIM/MSN with these people for each round. After a hole, you message them your score for that hole, and the leaderboard gets updated.

The reason we would like this feature is that if you're playing in the final round against someone from the opposite system, it would be convenient to know how they're shooting.

And quite frankly, it would look damn sweet.



It would be something like this:

[table="head;sort=20u;autonumtitle=rank;width=15em"]Name|1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9|10|11|12|13|14|15|16|17|18|F
DSpydr84|4|4|[5]|5|(3)|4|[4]|3|[6]|(3)|4|3|5|4|(2)|4|(3)|5|71
Ravin|4|4|4|5|4|4|3|3|5|4|4|3|5|4|3|4|4|5|72
cbgolfer|4|[6]|4|(4)|4|4|3|3|5|[5]|4|3|[6]|4|3|4|4|5|75
[/table]​

Now obviously, if we could update this after every hole and have everyone just refresh the page often, this would be ideal for tournament golf.


Discuss.

Just really noticed this thread, but I've planned on getting Tiger Woods for a while now.

I would deff be interested in any league/tourney schedule you guys set up.

Tiger Woods is most likley the next game i pick up, probally this weekend. If you do this wait for me!

 

[DSpydr84]

Why I am losing with a 75? I am going to own all you guys. Real golf translates into video game domination.

I had to give myself the psychological upper hand, because I fear it's the only way I could keep a round within reach (and by reach, I mean 20 strokes).

I thought it wasn't out until mid-June?

 

[MmmmBeeeeer]

I would like to be a part of this. I'm getting TW 10 for the 360.

We're all creating our players. So the best you can do is make Vijay Singh thrash:
