Re: Tiger Woods 13 PGA TOUR and CE Info

There is no fear to missing a fairway and that's the problem. Just line it up and rip it. There is no strategy to driving the ball because you much of the time you can hit it where you want it. So at Augusta that course is pretty much toothless because driving the ball is so easy. Take the 18th hol...

I read some of the impressions and I can't help it...it sounds like this to me: "This game is crap because it doesn't make me suck enough!" lol If I wanted to suck at golf, I'd just go grab my dusty clubs and head to the nearest course... :lol: Well, no.

JC, where can you see the scores online? Also, how are you posting messages in the OCC msg board online too? I had to go to our Country Club page within the game to view the tournament scores. I had thought we would be able to view the club scores on the website, but I don't see an option for it. T...

Re: Tiger Woods 13 PGA TOUR and CE Info

The lack of TrueAim like TW11 and how ridiculously easy it is to hit a straight tee shot on the hardest difficulty renders this game pointless to me. The crappy short play and putting doesn't help either. It blows my mind that people accept this. The gameplay has become horrible at the time I expec...

Re: FIFA 12 Previews

Been messing with sliders a lot too. SO much to like about this version with some really frustrating bits.

ANY advice on how NOT to get the ball easily swiped from you when one on one with a defender? Once again it's like the ratings for CPU players don't matter when it comes to dispossessing.

Unless I can find some sliders to make this game competitive I won't be buying it come Tuesday. First whomever handles the audio should be fired instantly.

Re: Madden NFL 12

Right , they didn't make the game for reviewers. Don't they get bonuses based on the Metacritic score? If the review was positive, he wouldn't be saying that. Probably not the best way to handle that... As for Hillis, I use liberal subs (because the default sub patterns are terrible) and my backup,...

Thanks, Bill. So, uh, like, why is there still no pass interference? It's part of football -- you see it every game. Why does the slider maxed not work? Any particularly good reason for that? I think a lot sounds promising, but I don't understand why they overlook details like this. I wish I knew...

It's another really good game from EA this year. Significantly better than FIFA 10 IMO.

This is the best year in the history of the company, for my $.

Re: Madden 11 Demo Impressions

The idea that you will play a game of Madden in 30 minutes is true...if playing on default settings. If you are reading this blog you most likely do not do that. You most likely, like me, play with 13 to 15 minute quarters with the Fast Clock option turned on so that you get a realistic number of p...
