I did manage to hit two crowd members in the family jewels and yes, they reacted, but with a golf ball hitting your sacks at full pelt, you would expect them to drop and not let out the pathetic wail that they do. Should your ball go and hit one of the crowd, they will react properly as to where the ball hits them for the most part. They do what they are supposed to do and add to the whole experience, although when you see them clapping, they all seem to do this in unison which does look a little strange. Admittedly in golf you don’t have the crowd chanting or hanging off the rafters, but they are not an eyesore. Normally in EA games you have the crowd in a stadium and it’s pretty much the same section of people copied to fill a stadium, along with the same repetitive motion. In summary, the attention to detail in every aspect is quite astounding and the developers have gone to great lengths to make everything as close to real life as possible.Īnother nice little feature is the crowd. For example, if the wind picks up, you will see your golfer’s trousers flapping around, which is a nice touch. When the weather does change however, it affects your golfer. Although the weather doesn’t really change whilst on an individual hole, it will gradually get worse (or better) as you play through the course, which is as you would expect. There will probably be issues for some, but they have finally achieved what game face is meant to do, and hopefully they will incorporate it into future EA Sports titles. This time however, after using a photo of myself which I added to the EA website (admittedly for FIFA 11) and a little bit of tweaking, I managed to create a character to look almost exactly like me, so much so that it is actually quite scary! It goes to show that the developers have been working very hard to improve this functionality, and they have pretty much nailed it. Usually with game face, you get a character that may look like you a bit, but there is always something off about it. They are on the ball with regards to the playable professional golfers, and the body movements of the club swings and the facial animations for both the available and created golfers are all top notch. If all that is impressive though, wait until you see the character graphics, especially the game face creation system. The surrounding foliage and background are beautiful as well, and it really does feel like you could just walk your golfer over to them, if it wasn’t for this pesky game of golf you are playing. The amount of detail that has gone into this is astounding! The course graphics are so good, it’s almost as if you can see every blade of grass, whether it be the fairway, short cut or rough, and it is absolutely fantastic. GRAPHICS: This franchise is normally well developed when it comes to the graphics department, but this time they have really smashed it out of the park. Being released just before of the start of The Masters tournament at Augusta National, you can play on the same course, albeit a computer rendered version, at the same time as the tournament, which would allow you to compare your mad video game golfing skills with the worlds best professionals!īut what everyone wants to know is, does Tiger Woods 12 signal a return to form? Is it a hole in one? Has it reached par? Or is Tiger having trouble with his frequently used putter? Let’s tee off and find out! The main worry for this was that the previous years outing had pretty much done the same thing, but instead of The Masters, they used the Ryder Cup. There were concerns as to whether or not Tiger would remain the face of this franchise, due to his recent fall from grace, but EA have stuck with their man and have also tried to win back their falling fan base by using one of the biggest golfing tournaments, The Masters, as one of its biggest selling points. However, there is no other simulation golf game on the market, allowing this franchise to totally dominate. For that reason, some people have skipped buying it on a yearly basis, with Tiger Woods 11 failing to match the previous years sales by quite a margin. Sure, each year they upgrade the graphics a little and then bring out some new crazy putting system, but it always seems to be a repeat of the year before and could definitely be accused of becoming a bit stale. Once again we have new features along with new hopes and aspirations, but it has to be said the Tiger Woods series has been a bit flat in recent years.
