Matt Saternus Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 The Wii is great for fun games with more than one person... like a party, or a family... If you like shooting/racing/sports/realistic games, it's not the greatest... Yeah, I've enjoyed Wii Tennis. The best Wii game I've ever played is Dodgeball on the EA Sports Playground disc (I think that's the name). The whole disc is pretty cheap and it's got a bunch of games, but the Dodgeball alone is worth the price. Played that at my friends house for HOURS.

jamo Posted March 13, 2010 Author Share Posted March 13, 2010 I'd like a profanity option so we can hear Tiger scream expletives (just like on the real tour). Or when Stevie goes after a fan for yelling at Tiger. That would be fun, it could switch into Fight Night mode. Quote Click here to view all of my scores and stats for the 2010 golf season.

I just played wii sports resort the other night... incredibly simple but fun for the entire night...

Let's just hope it doesn't have any of those "secret" sections like that Grand Theft Auto game. I've seen all of Tiger's mistresses I want. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Saternus Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 TW PGA Tour "Hot Coffee Edition". I'm a little surprised that hasn't come out as some kind of internet game, actually. Maybe it has and I'm just not tuned in enough. Quote Follow me on Twitter: @MattSaternus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caddyjoe77 Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 The thing that has always bugged me about the game is simple: let me hit what club i want to hit when i am up close. Sometimes it would force you to only play a LW or a SW or a PW, and have some better control on the "distance control" aspect. Im sure that is not easy to do, but it would be nice. Also, make the game harder lol.

Sometimes it won't let you putt, which can get annoying, but I don't see any other problems with that. Quote Click here to view all of my scores and stats for the 2010 golf season.

Sometimes it won't let you putt, which can get annoying, but I don't see any other problems with that. Yep You are right, the only problem is that u cant put on the fringe sometimes. The fact that You cant pitch with irons is very good because lets face it, it is a much easier shot, so it would be stupid to pitch with a 3 iron just because it is easier then an full 6 iron. Another thing from earlier in the forum, the Ryder cup will be only Euro and US players. What You saw on the trailer is the new and improved online system which will now let You play simultanious on all formats and not only strokeplay like now. This is very good for me becasue the simultaneous is the only way i like to play and it will be much better to play team events with that. I wish they put more than 10 courses on it this time, I would like to see Wolf Creek back, it was my favourite in 9. Quote Golf is suppoused to be hard!

Closest I come to that is a puppy, and I doubt he'd be into video games. Pretty content chasing a ball.

It's beyond me why they would ever drop a course. If they have already done all of the mapping and designing, unless they are planning on selling it via Xbox Marketplace, or PS3/Wii equivalents.

I'm sure you could find a Wii game for that. They have some pretty weird ones, Food Network for example, has their own game.

It does seem like they'll make a game for just about anything. I've seen a cooking game before, not sure if it was the food network, but that kinda blew my mind. I don't like cooking. Cooking is a necessary evil that allows me to eat. I do not see that being a fun game, IMO. Quote Follow me on Twitter: @MattSaternus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bule1101 Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 "As you're playing, you can switch between matches after each hole. It really becomes part of the strategy because you're trying to figure out which match you want to switch to. So if you're playing as Tiger and you see Anthony Kim is down against Ian Poulter, then you can jump to Kim in between holes, play a few holes as Kim and hope to get him back in the match. Then once you take the lead with Kim, you might want to switch back to somebody else." "This definitely has a death-match feel to it where you go into the online team play lobby and hop in and play and you can play anywhere up to 12 versus 12," Sailer said. "You're totally connected and all of the matches are going on concurrently and you see streaks of your team's balls and the other team's balls and they're colored specifically to each team. And then you can also talk to your team the whole time over voice, so you can strategize about whether you should play aggressive or safe, and there will also be tournament updates going on as you play so you always know where you stand throughout the match" this is from Travis Sailer, an associate designer for the game. Sound VERY GOOD to me. I always wanted to play online with matchplay but that it is simultanious! Quote Golf is suppoused to be hard! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJNiich Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 EA Sports needs to somehow get Augusta National on the game. It may be next to impossible but maybe a little cash could help the cause. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
