Hello everybody,
I would like to discuss the Tiger Woods franchise of games, particularly what I found initially good, then go rotten, then come up smelling of Augusta again with TW2012.....

my take and believe me i really liked TWO but the game play had its problems, the rough was always way off
pitching and chipping where much to easy to a point where there where a lot of people who never even used their putters,they could pop them in from anywhere on the green.
also all the green pitching that was going on i would not even play multi players i did not know, ok before it all gets kicked up i know the PGA allows it but hell there where people pitching on the greens on 5 to 10 foot putts where there was nothing in the way or a real reason to not be putting, the graphics where good. i think the biggest thing was there was no support what so ever if you had a problem with the game it may have took up to a week to get with someone who could help you,oirigin support was even worse with that support coming from people in India that you could not even hardly understand in their live support along with all the form answers you could tell where being read off of a list.
i went in there during the first beta and after reporting a few glitches and watching all the others who where reporting them and nothing was being done about it so why even have beta testers when not paying them and mind at all.
now today im back on 08 and to this time i still don't understand why i gave it up for TWO the 08 gameplay is great really nothing to complain about it sure there is not support from EA any longer but there is plenty in the 08 community that know it all about the game and help is very easy to find, the options and the amount of great courses to play is a huge plus. and as for the highspin i don't understand it either so i don't use it however i play in a couple of large ladders and see others using it all the time.
so im going to ask a few of them what the advantage is to a highspin shot.

Gurgling with delight, Deena? Sipping honey nectar? Your bubbly enthusiasm is palpable.
Personally, I would not rate TW12 that highly and maintain that TW08 was the better game - being a full PC game as opposed to a slimmed-down browser game like TWO/12. And for having grass, not blotchy patches of icky textures. And many more play modes. And drop zones for watery shots. And, and, and...
Doesn't matter! What counts is that you are having fun doing a "golfy" thing on your computer, from the sound of it a bit more in the "Arcade" department and not so much in the "Sim" sector. No need at all to be ashamed or insecure about that, and no call for anybody to try and spoil your fun.

highspin was explained to me as a way to play the tweener shots either long or short from a distance
with out having a bunch of backspin or forward spin but only on longer shots i guess it helps none on short approaches
now im just posting what i was told by a few people and have not tested it out myself

TWO was a good game and would have stayed a good game if a dozen members in the TWO forum would have stopped hassling the developers to make the game more difficult. The game "was what it was" but alas, the devs listened to the howlers and they (the devs) spoiled the game on April 15, 2011.
By spoil I mean it drove many people away because the three swing meter had no forgiveness for the classic driver. Plus a a couple other changes that drove people away. I stayed with it to the end and found it fast to play and it was great to be able to shutdown the computer during any round and start-up again.
I think being able to power-off the PC and come back to any round is important.
Side Note: I surely hope PG will allow us to power down and resume a round hours later as well.

I was in on the first day of beta for this "game" and shot a 58 or something on my first ever round. It was terribly easy and not challenging at all.
Anyway, aside from that what I will say about the quoted opinion is this. If the very best players are shooting 52 and asking for the game to be harder and you are shooting 68 and just fine with the game..... What is wrong with you shooting 78 to move the top scores to 62? +10 shots for everyone?
The answer is you don't want to feel like you suck @78, while the best don't want to birdie/eagle every hole. At the end of the day the difficulty of the game will determine the range of scores and to say it was made harder and my scoring went down the drain that is kind of silly imo. Just take the motivation of trying to shoot 70 again and get better.

It's all moot now.

Hey Leeray - thanks for the tribute clip, awesome waterfall and I love the ambience you get with the PC/ console style games as opposed to the flash-browswer which is static and silent,
Y'know I have been known just to park the ball up in a beautiful location and just leave the screen on as a background - very pacifying I find, especially when I'm doing the ironing, lols!!

The sound effects in TWO for the waterfalls, oceans and rivers etc. were pretty darn good.

I enjoyed most of the TW games - on console anyway. Easy playing and good fun. Didn't like the focus addition but you had to adapt to a new style of play and it was still fun. Very arcade, prefer links, but I used to really enjoy it.

I LOVED TWO even though I sucked at it. I just wish i was half as good as NOEL, MAVS and the rest of the TWO players.
I just loved playing the game, sure do miss computer golf.
HURRY UP PP Christmas is next week, I hope to have PP in my computer stocking
