Tiger Woods 13 PGA TOUR and CE Info

[Danimal]

Well I crapped the bed on the last round of the daily.

Did they adjust putting in the patch? I had it finally figure out and now all of the sudden I don't need to pull back as far to hit the putts the same distance I was before. Chipping too, I was deadly at the short game now I need to get the feel all over again.

-1 at daily with 3, count 'em, 1 2 3 double bogeys

Hey guys I have a ? To get the driving range and ect... is only through the CE right or can I purchase it as DLC? I already have the standard edition.

It's only available in the CE. I'm surprised they haven't made the Augusta practice facility DLC to be honest.

I've read several comments about how the chipping game has changed. I've only played one round with the patch, but thought it felt a little different. My putting was pretty different in my last round, but I'm thinking it was more because I went from 80 to 83 in my putting atttribute. I've taken it back down to 78, where I thought I was putting my best for the round I'll be playing here shortly. I'll have a better idea about any changes then.

BTW, is it my imagination, or is the pre-putt "waggling" a little tamed down after the patch? I'd love to see it gone entirely. I've never waggled a putter at address like my CAG does in this game

Thanks, I guess I'll wait, hope and pray they make it available.

Ha, that's the first thing that I noticed after I applied the patch.

Also, I would prefer that the putting be EXACTLY like it was in TW10.

Shooting even par going into 15 at the Els, and shanked a @#$%ing second shot into the water. Had to settle for double bogey. Lipped out two birdie putts on 17 and 18 in an effort to bring it back to even par.

I've never played a Tiger Woods game before that has made my stinking heart pound until now...

[Diablo25]

Gotta say it's pretty demoralizing seeing a -26 on the leaderboard after 3 rounds of this week's weekly. I'm working my ass off to be near par. I'm just gonna concentrate on getting into the top 10.

BTW, I'm not begrudging the guys who are lighting it up...have a it. I'm just disappointed that those levels are possible. The first week with the game I thought those scores were a thing of the past

While those scores are not realistic, they are a far cry from the days of -20 rounds some guys were putting up. Some are still putting those up on TourPro. I looked at a couple of tournaments in which the leaders were seriously -81.

I'm pretty sure there are a few guys putting up those scores on Tournament, since I played one a couple of weeks ago.

But averaging -8 to -9 a round leaves a ton of room for improvement, and for actual competition. It's when guys are hitting every birdie, and the competition is purely who can pick off the most eagles in which the game actually diminishes.

[Gangrel]

I think the big issue this week was the conditions. I'd rather have a weekly with live weather (flawed as it is) or random, then the same thing all four rounds.

The way the wind lined up, it was pretty easy for me to eagle a few of the par 5's. Throw those in with guys who can throw darts in the slow conditions, and -10 a round is quite possible, especially since i think the pins were all on easy?

Now, for inconsistent mofos like me, I still was north of par, but whatever.


And if the tourney WAS set up to be random, etc and there's a bug, then I apologize. But if not, my vote for future ones is to change it up between rounds.

First of all there is no random weather option aside from Live Weather. Second the pins were set to hard. I forgot to turn on the random winds which is why it was set to one direction. I wish I could choose each rounds conditions but I can't. For all I know it doesn't even change the pins each round.

At the end of the day we all played in the same conditions and if you want to examine things it comes down to putting.

Ask Ortho to post how many putts he has each round or better yet the number of one putts. I'll bet it is half of most of the rest of us. I know I missed over 4 rounds at least 12-15 birdie putts I also 4 putted or worse several holes post patch.

The guys who play this game a lot and for a long time know exactly where to aim with the green grid on. Once the rest of us learn it the tourneys will be more even but that may be a while.

The conditions were really easy for my CAG. All the par 5's played down or cross wind which made it possible to eagle 3/4 of them. The only one I NEVER went at is the par 5 that covers all water on the second shot. I thought of trying to draw it in but instead played to the right and pitched or chipped on for birdie try's.

The key like Danimal said is putting. With green grids on it makes 20+ foot putts not nearly as difficult thus making more of them and thus making the score lower.

Right and turning them off is going to make it impossible for the rest of us.

I still think we should play a Daily all using the same pro. Maybe JC can choose a pro and we can all play Monday's daily with that pro to see what it does to the scores.

[Gangrel]

Yes, much like real golf, putting is key. And i'm not trying to knock anybody here, I was just giving my two cents to whomever was mentioning the very low score for the winner.

We are all very different with skill levels in all games, we'll never get anything we are all good at, nor should we try.

I know when I play anything with you guys, I suck at pretty much everything except hockey a bit.... but I still have fun.

In TW, i follow up eagles with double bogeys (my third round of this week's tourney) so the game will never be "easy" for me probably, at least not with the time I have to put into it.

I do think being able to set up the conditions for each round would be nice though, as well as the usual progression of pins......... maybe some feedback to send into EA.

I'm not saying that you should turn them off. People make posts about the scores and the answer to the low scores is right in front of us with the putting grids. Ask Divot or Hogz the number of 20+ foot putts they make with the grids on compared to off. I am also well aware that not all of us are on the same levels in the game thus this makes it more fair for everyone by keeping the grids on. As long as the OCC keeps having fun then mission accomplished!

[MUTTS]

Pretty much living at the hospital for 2 weeks as I am on service....thus no time to game and I missed the weekly this time around. Hope to be back in the saddle in a day or two (hope to play the daily tonight as I need a break). Im sure my game has regressed.

[Wilk5280]

I'm not really in favor of playing all our dailies with the same pro to be honest. Maybe 1 or 2 a week but not all of them. I've yet to play a single hole with anyone other than my CAG.

I do agree with ortho in stating the answer is right in front of us. Somebody commented that they were disappointed to see that -26 is even possible. I'm not sure it would be with grinds off. I'm not asking to turn them off, but just know that there is a solution to that problem. Either way we're all playing with the same settings so -5 or -50 as a winning score shouldn't matter IMO.

I'm not asking to play all the dailies with a set pro. I am simply stating that trying it once to see if it normalizes the scores. It seems everyone who sees turning the grids off as the option are the top players who shoot the lowest scores yet not one of these people is in favor of trying the same golfer which is a more fair attempt at a solution IMO.

I just don't understand the logic. If your guy has 100+ more attribute points then everyone else you have an advantage. I just don't get why no one wants to try it.

[Diablo25]

I actually had fun playing with the grids off.

[10spro]

I actually had fun playing with the grids off.

I don't mind them off. Having them on does help us all more, but I don't mind alternating a weekly event with the grids ON/OFF. In the end, I think I rather see a -10 winner and if I suck at +20, so be it. I haven't played a Pro even on the Live events, so I am curious for those that have, how much of an improvement it is.

The scores will be closer sure, it it won't solve the issue with having scores well below par is all I'm saying. If the issue is the broad range from top scorer to lowest then give it a whirl. If the problem is people posting scores well below par this isn't a solution

[webdanzer]

I had the infamous tiger feast or famine rounds today in the last two rounds of the weekly. Shot par for round 3 in the afternoon, because I suddenly started to send all my drives right, and couldn't fix them at all during the round. Was lucky to even make par, as I was scrambling out of thick stuff or sand nearly every hole.

Then tonight, just looking to bang one out to finish up, ended up on fire (for me) in crap conditions. Dropped 3 <5 feet from the pin, hit an eagle, and holed out off the pin from chips twice. -8. Crazy.

Dan, I don't consider myself one of the elites, but I'm in favor of the occasional pro rounds. Have been since early on, and have posted as much.

[TheTruth]

I don't mind having one or two pro dailies during the week. Actually thought we would have had a few by now.
