More Sim Less Tiger

User Rating: 8 | Tiger Woods PGA Tour 09 PS3
The fact that this game has evolved from 1999, a crude but functional game,to this 2009 version is simply amazing.
Having only played the PC Tiger Woods,the PS3 had no control issues and I jumped right in .Game play was smooth controls clear.Very good graphics and game play is similar to older versions with some new learning features.Real golfers may actually benefit from some of this games' basic tutorials on shot execution.
The part I miss from the PC versions is the on line play allowing you to watch ( and learn from )the other guy's shot or putt.
You are not allowed to watch his break or how the wind affects his shot.In short,they changed it up to allow faster on line matches and I get that. I always thought that getting a read on a putt was part of the game,but...just not in this game.
If you and pals play real golf buy it otherwise ..RENT IT FIRST !
