This thread will be for discussing all versions of the game, but I chose to purchase it for the Wii.
I am not really a golf fan. I've never played anything but mini-golf, and watching it on TV is boring to me. But, since the 2005 edition, I have been a fan of the Tiger Woods series. My friend (and later roommate) Jake got me hooked on that game when he and his then-wife would have a group of us over to watch wrestling pay per views and drink beer. We'd always jump on Tiger afterwards, and it was a blast.
Not long after that, I got my own Xbox which came with the Tiger/NCAA '05 bundle. That edition was still my favorite, after '06 didn't offer much innovation, and '07 (at least on the 360) fucked up the gameplay. Although I have played all versions since 2005, '10 is the first I have bought since '07.
I completely suck at the game, going +15 on Banff Springs in my first try at going 18 holes. A lot of that was due to missed putts with the "Precision Putting" system. After I switched to classic on hole 15, putting became much easier.But after spending a couple hours doing the tutorials, playing 18 holes, and then creating myself for career mode, I can safely say I am hooked. Wii Sports golf was a huge disappointment, but this game- with the Wii Motion Plus, that is- is everything that game should have been, times a million.
I cannot recommend this game enough, and that's with me only doing the "Play Now" mode and having very little skill. I imagine that my appreciation of the game will grow once I gain some skill. That, and I can't wait to try multiplayer. As an EA Sports game, you simply sign in using the same account you would for other EA Sports games. No friend codes required.
Did anyone else pick this up for any system?
