So they FINALLY get Augusta in the game. First Tiger game I'll buy in several years.

can't remember where i saw this but i don't think it's kinect compatible
side note:
i went to the masters 2 years ago and couldn't believe the undulation of that place...tv doesn't do those hills justice. from what i understand that laser technology they used does a great job of showing it.

I thought it was odd that the "Tiger Woods PGA Tour 12" was relocated at the bottom and "Masters" is what catches the eye first. I know this is the first time Augusta is available for TW, but I kind of think this has something to do with his image. 1/5/2011 11:03:01 AM

Doesn't look like it's kinect capable, and yeah they definitely emphasized the Masters and minimized the Tiger connection because of what has happened this year. 3/9/2011 8:50:41 PM

I don't know if I can swing (get it, swing hurrrr) 60 clams for what is essentially the same game every year, but this one does look a lot more polished and graphically impressive from the demo at least
but where is my kinect support, I want to be swinging a real golf club in my living room dammit 3/13/2011 10:41:35 AM

Last Tiger Woods game I played was 04 on PS2, and I played the absolute shit out of it.
Demo for 12 felt like the exact same game as 04, didn't notice any change at all in the gameplay. Except for the putting, of course, which I didn't understand at all. I fuckin five-putted the first hole.] 3/13/2011 1:18:08 PM

I think EA didn't include Kinect support this year because they couldn't get the bugs out in time, if EA Sports Active 2 is any indication. From their statements it looks like TW 2013 will definitely have Kinect support, and if they could include a club peripheral it would eliminate a majority of the tracking bugs.
I'll probably hold out even though I really want this one, maybe buy a cheap older year to bide my time. 3/16/2011 10:02:48 PM

I haven't bought a TW game in 5 years, so I'm about due anyway, but I'm curious if it is less buggy than last years. 3/28/2011 6:51:50 PM

I sold back Black Ops to subsidize this game, I know for a fact I'll get more play out of it (I played the hell out of '08, it had Nantz + Feherty too) and I haven't touched BO in like a month. So I'm definitely down for multiplayer tourneys once I get it, gamertag is Wo1fAce 3/28/2011 10:44:21 PM

I fucking HATE game intros that you can't skip. seriously, I know Tiger won the Masters that year in convincing style. Why the fuck did I have to watch it for 10 fucking minutes and then "play the hole." I intentionally jacked the bar as far left as I could, and it was "an amazing shot!" Let me skip that shit 3/30/2011 3:48:46 PM

Gorgeous, solid mechanics, but putting is incredibly difficult; I usually get on the green with the possibility of birdie and sometimes eagle, but I usually miss the long ones by inches and the short ones can be just as frustrating
Also the caddie recommendations for putting are terrible, I still eyeball it myself and do better than if I had narrowed the 'focus' and put the aim where it said to. (I know at the beginning the caddie has to gain skill too but still)
What difficulty does everyone play on? I hate the cheesy 'mash A furiously' to change the ball spin in flight stuff so I bump it up to TOUR Pro, but the campaign is getting pretty rough. 3/31/2011 1:29:47 AM

Lol I just nailed a spectator in the nuts on a Par 4 and still made birdie
