4.0 out of 5 stars For those worried about the putting..., September 8, 2008
= Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Tiger Woods PGA Tour 09 All-Play (Video Game)
I'll save a long review and just dive in on how to deal with the putting.

The putting is initially awful BUT, I repeat BUT you CAN EASILY fix it. For each putt you're given a maximum putt distance meter.

So if it's 10 feet to the cup the game sets your maximum backswing of 100% to go 10 feet. I.e. pull all the way back on the putt for a 10 foot putt and the ball will go 10 feet assuming a flat surface.

The problem is the game doesn't recognize grade. Just like in real golf that's up to you the user to control for.

If you push up or down on the d-pad you can adjust this putt meter. I do this for all of my putts because I don't want to get a 100% backswing everytime, there's no margin for error.

So say I have a 10 foot putt that is slightly uphill, I push up on the d-pad and this little aiming arrow that is above the cup will move away from my player and adjust the putt meter from 10 feet to 15 feet or 20 feet or whatever I... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Console Golf Game, October 8, 2008
= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Tiger Woods PGA Tour 09 All-Play (Video Game)
I have played dozens of golf games dating back to golf on the Commodore-64. Some games have been completely pathetic, while others have been relatively good. I bought Tiger Woods 09 for the Wii basically because I like to try most every golf game that hits the market. My expectations for this game were actually fairly low, as EA has not exactly put out killer software for the Wii.

Having put in over 30 hours with Tiger Woods 09 I can safely say that this is the most fun console golf game I have ever played. Not only is the game incredibly deep with an absolute ton of modes of play, but it also sports a great online component. The developers really did a good job of making TW09 a truly fun multi-player experience.

What makes Tiger Woods 09 such a great game is the control. The 1:1 swing mechanic can be tuned in a variety of ways. It takes some getting used to in terms of shot strength, but once the user gets it down the game is butter. As far as putting is... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Golf Shold be Difficult, September 11, 2008
By 
Professor (New York City) - See all my reviews
= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Tiger Woods PGA Tour 09 All-Play (Video Game)
Tiger Woods PGA Tour 09 All Play for the Wii is an excellent golf simulation. I have read the complaints about the putting. Listen, putting was far too easy on ealier iterations. Putting on Tiger 09 can be mastered, but guess what? Doing so takes effort and practice and touch and hard work--just as putting in real life does. The satisfaction from becoming skilled and consistent is just what a golf game should demand. In like manner, mastering the full or partial swing takes time and effort. Good, golf is a difficult and demanding sport,a humbling experience. Tiger 09 for the Wii is terrific, a golfer's delight, if not a gamer's delight. Buy it, master it, and experience the satisfaction for learning how to do something difficult very, very well.
