I've been playing Tiger for years, and this one I'm sending back in sheer frustration. The game has been patched, so the lower reviews complaining about crashes no longer seem to apply. But good Lord, this game is too tough!
The game goes for realism by showing your placement as a circle...the better you are the smaller the circle. However the circle denotes a good shot...if you're a little off in your swing, heaven help you, because it's going nowhere near that circle.
I don't begrudge that so much, I expect to get better as I play and that the circle will get smaller and the swing meter more forgiving. But I can't get better. Your opponents are freakishly talented, long putts and incredible chips are easy for them. Because of this I can't beat them, and because of that I can't improve. The game puts a limit on your skill improvements and only raises that ceiling when you beat one of these players...and I can't beat them.
I spent all weekend trying, but I can't get past 20%. I've tried enough, and I'm going back to last years edition.
