![]() ![]() You can improve your skills a little by performing well in events, but you'll want to take the skills challenges, which are largely unchanged, to improve them quickly. Once again you start your career as either a rookie Tiger Woods or a created golfer with limited skills. Of the amateur golfers, many, like Pops Masterson, are returning favorites, but there are also some new faces, such as soccer player Wayne Rooney, to play with and against. There are 21 professional golfers in the game, eight of which are new: JB Holmes, Justin Rose, Camilo Villegas, Cristie Kerr, Morgan Pressel, Paul Casey, Paula Creamer, and Natalie Gulbis. Throw in Harbour Town and there are now 16 courses-a healthy amount, but still far fewer than in the last-gen versions. Thanks to the addition of Westchester, TPC Boston, Cog Hill, and East Lake, all FedEx Cup courses are in the game. ![]() You can now choose how long you want standard and major tournaments to be, which is nice for anyone who doesn't want to go through four rounds on the same course for one tournament. Career mode hasn't seen a whole lot of change, but what is different is better. Online play is largely unchanged-even the lag issues and glitches are back for another go. It's OK, but as the lone new play mode it's underwhelming. New to the 360 and PS3 is bingo, bango, bongo, a head-to-head mode where you are awarded "bingo" for being the first on the green, "bango" for being the closest to the pin when you reach the green, and "bongo" for having the best score. TW 08's game modes are almost exactly the same as last year's. Even the game's most noteworthy feature, the analog swing, doesn't work as well as in previous years. Also, there are a fair amount of frustrating bugs (particularly in the Xbox 360 version) that give the game a rushed feel. There are some new features, but many of them don't work. But even those expecting minimal improvements are likely to be disappointed with Tiger Woods PGA Tour 08. There's typically very little to distinguish one year's version from the next, but the games have always played well, and, judging by the sales numbers, people have been happy with the incremental upgrades. But at least now the AI is usually leading for the first two or three rounds, before I catch and pass them.The Tiger Woods series has long stood atop the charts as the best-selling golf franchise year in and year out. I play career mode at 100%, on basically SIM mode but with wind direction and green grids and still win every tournament. In fact I currently play with a character with no skill points or specs because the game plays too easy. You can still score low in this game without having a maxed out character. It would have kept me playing if we had only been rewarded 1 point ped level. And then XP became of no value in the game. ![]() So basically you are rewarded for putting time into the game.įor this particular issue, my problem is that EA made it far too easy to reach the level 50 cap. This provides a community where every player can be unique. ![]() I also like that you cannot max out a character with every skill to be a super player. As in real life training should increase your skills. I think it adds a reason to continue playing the game. I personally don't have a problem with leveling up. ![]()
