Instead of employing the upcoming FedEx Tour Points system (like the next-gen versions will), EA dropped the same boring line of tournaments that we have seen for three or four years now. That lack of innovation that I spoke of earlier is here in spades. Players that blaze through the Team Tour and are still hungry for a little action on the links will get their fill in the returning PGA Tour Mode. Including games types such as these in combination with the team aspect really gives players reason to manage their team wisely and pay attention to the strengths and weaknesses of everyone in their employ.

One-Ball sounds more strategic than it really is since it always comes down to which golfer putts better, but the suspense of watching your opponent attempt that putt for the whole is still gripping stuff. Alternatively, in Bloodsome that room for error is eliminated since your opponent picks between the two drives. Greensome gives a player a little room for error if they want to smash a huge drive because they have a partner that can take a safer shot to guarantee them the fairway. Instead of simply going through the motions of Tee Off-Approach-Putt, players are not introduced to a little strategy. These game modes sound confusing the first time you read about them or try them out on the course, but they really go a long way in making Tiger a much more compelling title. These golfers then alternate shots, trying to put their opponent in a difficult position for their next shot while still hitting within half the distance remaining and avoiding water hazards. Finally, One-Ball gives only, you guessed it, one ball to two opposing golfer. Bloodsome is the opposite of that, giving players the opportunity to pick their opponents ball instead. In Greensome, you get to pick your own ball based on the two drives of you and your teammate. Greensome and Bloodsome both involve two players on a team sharing the same ball, but the difference is who gets to choose what ball is selected off the drive. Elimination mode puts one squad against one another in match play, but the catch is that when a player loses a hole they are eliminated from the match altogether. While having the freedoms above may keep the game fresh for a while, its the variety in game modes that really keeps things going in 07. Juiced up characters that you may have from previous Team Tours can also join the team, allowing players to create the ultimate dream-team from scratch. Still, having the option to keep around old favorites like Pops Masterson or Hamish McGregor is nice.

We found this to only be a temporary measure, however, since just about any pro player is heads and shoulders above any of the EA originals. Whats even cooler is the fact that the EA original characters like Big Mo or Erica Von Severin can earn experience and develop into stronger golfers. After beating Big Mo and his buddy in Fourball or John Daly in a straight up Match Game you can select them for your team whenever you want. The new spin on an old model is that you are also building up your own all-star team in this all new Team Tour. Anyway, in order to challenge Tiger, you have to compete against other golfers around the world in different types of matches.īuilding up a created golfer to take on Tiger is, again, nothing new. Sure, shes got a short game, but Tigers formidable squad should all hit at least as long as Vijay too. Players looking for another great round of golf from Tiger Woods will hardly be disappointed, but aside from a couple new gameplay types anyone looking for innovation will see this title as a little stale.Īnd what are these new gameplay modes you ask? Well, instead of having players chasing legends like Jack Nicholas or Arnold Palmer, the final objective is Tiger and his crew of top golfers. Note: I quote top golfers because Anika Sorenstam, who hasnt made any sort of an impact on the PGA Tour, is on this supposed top team. Another thing that hasnt changed in the past five or six releases? The core gameplay since Tiger went to the analog swing way back when has remained virtually unchanged. This is nothing new TW has been on top since PGA Tour 2002 came out and hasnt looked back since. And just like real life Tiger, the competition is simply left in the dust when it comes to trying to produce a top-notch golfing game. Like the real life Tiger Woods, the videogame counterpart published by Electronic Arts is an established front-runner.
