The rest of the game has even more depth than the career mode. Perhaps the fact that the Web site is in beta has something to do with that I have yet to be able to link my PSN name with my EA account. Unfortunately, I couldn’t actually get the feature working myself - I uploaded front and profile shots of myself to EA’s new online portal, EA Sports World, but whenever I tried to access the pictures through the game, it claimed that I hadn’t actually uploaded anything. The golfer creator is just as deep as it has always been, and like FaceBreaker, it supports the Photo Game Face option. Of course, by then, I had no hope of digging myself out of the hole that the simulation AI had put me in, but it’s good to know that you can hang with the big boys and girls from the get-go. But I played through the second round myself and was pretty much able to go hole-for-hole with the pros, finishing two strokes under for the round. Naturally, simulating events will take your attributes into account I simmed a day of the year’s first tournament and noted that I was something like 26 over par. When you start out, your attributes won’t compare to those of the tour pros, but you can still finish near or at the top of the leaderboards - if you play all the rounds yourself. There’s a lot to do in the career, and, of course, your ever-changing attributes add an additional layer of depth to the mode. Even if you max out all your attributes, you can’t just rest on your laurels - and once you see a rating go down, you’re going to be compelled (well, at least I was) to bring it back up again. But although the Performance Coach implementation leaves something to be desired, the fact that the game rewards you for consistency is a fantastic impetus for practicing so you continually get better, and it’s an example of brilliant game design. His voice-over is boring and devoid of any personality (though, for all I know, that’s how he actually is in real life), and his “customized feedback” is pretty basic. On the other hand, Haney himself doesn’t really add all that much to the game. If you cringed when you saw the word “drills,” don’t worry they’re all pretty simple and fun it’s definitely not a chore to improve your game. If you start sucking at the game, your attributes will drop accordingly - so this year, you have to keep playing well, as opposed to just kicking ass while you’re initially building up your player. You don’t just earn these and keep them, though. After each round of golf, you’ll get feedback from Haney, and he’ll provide you with drills so you can improve your four attributes (Power, Accuracy, Short Game, and Putting). will factor into where your ball ends up, so be sure to look it over carefully before you begin your backswing.Īlso new this year is the Dynamic Skill system, featuring Woods’ longtime real-life personal coach, Hank Haney, as your very own performance coach. All the data it conveys - wind, elevation (if your destination is below you, use less club, and vice versa), lie (what the ball’s sitting in/on), etc. The game’s HUD is highly informative but relatively unobtrusive. Going backward will add loft, which reduces distance but increases backspin. Tilting your stick forward will lower the trajectory of your shot, so you’ll get less distance but more topspin. With it, you can control the angle at which you strike the ball. Meanwhile, the right analog stick is known as the Loft Stick. The power boost is a classic risk/reward mechanic - attempting to make your ball fly farther will make the swing accuracy less forgiving, so there’s an increased chance of the ball sailing wide of your intended landing spot. Hitting L1 or X (in conjunction with a left stick direction) while the ball is in mid-flight will add spin to it, and by tapping the same buttons during your left stick backswing, you can tack on up to a 22% power boost to your shot. In TW 09, you have all the tools and assistance available that real golfers do (and some that they don’t).
