Whether this is good or bad will depend on the player’s familiarity with previous EA Sports games. There are more features in the package than most players will ever have the time to experience.
#TIGER WOODS PGA TOUR 12 WII GAMEPLAY HOW DO I PROGRESS FULL#
In the end it is entirely up to the player which control option they use, but until the Wii Motion Plus add-on becomes part of the Tiger Woods experience, analogue control will always be the more accurate (and comfortable) option.Īs far as content goes, Tiger Woods 09 certainly ticks all the boxes with a comprehensive career mode (including the full PGA Tour Season, the FedExCup and Tiger Challenge events), a detailed create-a-golfer feature, a coaching and club tuning system, a mini-game party mode, online competition and more. Gladly there is the option to use the more traditional analogue stick control scheme by plugging in the Nunchuck controller, and some players will find that a far more comfortable and reliable option for playing the game. Serious back injuries are a definite possibility and should be a consideration for anyone not in good physical condition. It is quite possible to play four or more rounds in a single play session, putting extreme stress on the player’s body. In Tiger Woods 09 on the Wii, 18 holes takes far less than an hour and there are no natural rests between shots. A game usually takes a few hours to complete and players will usually play 18 holes, then head for the 19th hole (the bar) for a drink. When playing golf in real life, the player gets a natural rest between shots while making their way to where the ball lies (usually a fair distance away). Even though golf is seen as a leisurely sport, the stresses a golf swing can put on the body are severe. One of the other problems with the Wii-remote control system is something that the game has no control over at all. For the most part the controls do work well, but the margins for error in golf are often very slim and even one mishit shot can ruin a round completely. Over or undershooting the hole and three or four putting can be a regular occurrence. In theory this is not a bad idea, but the shot power is very difficult to judge accurately, especially when the cup is above or below the ball. Instead of measuring the length of the backswing, the putting system reverts to a traditional power bar. Another problem area is the putting system. Shots requiring less than 100 per cent are also extremely difficult to pull off as it is insanely hard to judge how much backswing is required. A swing which would normally be around 100 per cent power will often only register as 80 per cent, leaving a shot falling well short of its intended target. Sadly though, there are some serious inconsistencies in how the swing is recognised. The main control system attempts to mimic a real golf swing and for the most part it works well. The All-Play mode in Tiger Woods 09 works well and really opens up the game to everyone, allowing inexperienced players to compete with Tiger Woods veterans.
In making a conscious effort to provide a simplified control scheme for all of their Wii games with All-Play, EA Sports have made great strides in opening up their games to players of all skill levels. Add to that an overly complicated presentation and poor audio-visual performance and there are just too many problems to make this year’s version a must have experience. While the controls are so far the best imitation of real golf available on any video game system, there are still problems with swing recognition that will negatively affect the performance of the player. Tiger Woods PGA Tour 09 All-Play is the best golf game available on the Wii, but it still has a number of flaws that will leave most players anxiously awaiting the Wii Motion Plus enabled 2010 edition.
