Since when EA cares about their customers?

[Rike255]

I skipped TW11 because I want to get the one that was developed with the Move in mind (instead of just an after the fact add-on). Can't wait to play Augusta though!

still think the controller isnt long enough to grab with both hands to swing like an actual golf club..

ask Stereo Mike about that though.. he also tried that out and wore a glove if i remember

The more I play Tour 11 with the Move, the more I find flaws. Still great though!

I tried to figure out something to attach a real golf grip but the fact that you have to hold the trigger button while swinging makes it virtually impossible.

The development time wasn't spent entirely on aesthetics, Wlodyka said. Though The Masters usually returns 72-hole totals under the U.S. Open or the British Open winner's, the course still plays in peculiar ways that EA Tiburon strove to capture.

"I remember the first time I was there. I was amazed at the depth of field, the way shots set up," Wlodyka said. "If you had a shot 110 yards away, it would look 180 yards away because of the way the trees enclosed the greens. The 13th at Augusta, the way you're hitting it with the trees in the background, Augusta can play mind tricks on you."

You can sense how deep Wlodyka has gone into Augusta National's culture when he casually mentions "the second cut" - which is the term the club prefers that announcers use, instead of "rough." Augusta's notoriously treacherous pin placements and fast greens will be another aspect of the video game course design.

"We will have tournament conditions and regular conditions" Wlodyka said. "We didn't want to put beginner players out there in tournament conditions, where you miss a putt by a foot and the ball's gone by 20 feet.

"We worked with the course superintendent over the years," Wlodyka said. "When you play it, you might look at a green and think you know where to aim. But he said, ‘You know what, you're better off over here,' and if you have it dialed in, the ball will roll perfectly there. He knows. He's been working on the course a million years."

I don't think it's too short for me, my problem is the weighting (like Stereomike already alluded too with a makeshift attachment).

Obviously this is still videogame golf, I'll just go real golfing to get my realism fix I guess

[StereoMike]

Check out the screenshots in the first post, first person view with the Move.

[DonRSD]

ive passed on Tiger Woods golf since like 2006 as it never changed much from year to year

with the masters now included, this is now a must buy

hopefully it wont be like previous TW's where i can hit every shot perfectly and birdie/eagle every hole

That's what the Move is for, realism. People have been saying that since 2000, I can make birdie on every hole, blah blah blah, too easy, blah blah blah...Add wind and fast green to any Golf Courses, or play on Extreme difficulty, you'll see the difference.

[Rike255]

Should get some screenshots of Phil so they face the proper way

I've been toying with getting the Move for some time and being a fan of the Tiger Woods games, this could very well be worth getting the Move
