Amazon has pre-order info and cover art up for Tiger 13. Once again there are multiple versions of the game, and also a bizarre pre-order bonus.

Free non-golfers! Great!

Also notable that there's only 360 and PS3 versions listed.

Noonan

So EA is putting his name back in the title fully?

Those non-golfer characters are a total waste. Isn't the whole point to create your own?

This year, they're integrating Kinect. Might be interesting, but I would certainly wait for some reviews before I bought the 360 version for that feature. Golf is fun in Kinect Sports 2, but far from accurate. It will be interesting to see how they pull it off here.
FWIW : Here are the descriptions of the two motion control system integrations:
And like others here, I'm surprised to see Tiger featured prominently on the cover after the past year. I thought they'd do something like Madden football where the name is important, not so much the man attached to that name. At least they've kept the Augusta license.

If they are going to go down the road of athletes that have nothing to do with the sport, why would they NOT get a Charles Barkley in there? Dwight Howard? Roenick? Nothings screams golf more than those two.

Noonan

I would imagine the almighty dollar has a lot to do with it.

I would love to try to play this game with Charles Barkley's swing. I can't imagine shooting better than 100 on a easy course.

Drexl

I'd rather have fictional characters, like from Caddyshack. I'm sure there are some who would love to play as Happy Gilmore.

I haven't played last year's edition with the Move yet but I sincerely doubt Kinect could be as accurate as the Move for a game like this.

For people here who have played it, what was your impression playing with the Move?

Maxflier

Probably the same reason they can't get him into an NBA game, he wants too much $$$.

Cusm

No shit I was just thinking that you can't get him in a NBA game, what are the odds of him showing up in a golf game.

Kal Varnsen

So no Wii version? Doesn't make much sense since the Wii probably has the best controls for this.

Decker

But the Kinect will allow for a more realistic complete Tiger Woods experience:
"XBOX, delete my text messages!"

BTW there's a Move-enabled TW12 demo available. At least they used to be.

chuckd21

I'm guessing there's a WiiU version coming, but they don't want to announce it as that would tip off the release date of the system.

Rob V

Does anyone know if you can carry-over the courses from TW12 to 13? I know the money-grubbing answer to this deep down but I'm hoping someone can refute my assumption. I will only pick up 13 if the 12 courses can be used.

chuckd21

I don't know for certain, but of course the answer is "HAHAHAHAHA! No."

Daryl

Yeah, EA is one of the absolute worse when it comes to shamelessly squeezing every possible penny from the consumer. If they could get away with it, they would charge you full price for the Tiger Woods disc, and then make you pay a greens fee each time you wanted to play a course. After all, "it's in the game"

astrochimp

That's how they do it with TW Online.

I bought last years game for my 360 and all the courses along with it but i wont be doing that again this year.

Daryl

Holy crap, seriously? And I was just kidding.

astrochimp

Yeah, EA has a totally different definition of "free".
