Tiger Woods PGA 2005 Impressions

I know a bunch of people here were looking forward to this game and I know others didn't think it had enough new stuff to warrant a purchase.

For some reason I think my guy last year looked more like me. This year there were so many things you could adjust that I don't think I did a very good job. I'll have to tweak my guy later on.

The new stances help a TON. They will help me take my already good game to a whole new level...but I just hope it doesn't make the game get old too quick.

Custom soundtracks are not fixed this year.
I hear 30-40 seconds of a song and it's on to the next one. I can't believe they didn't do something to fix this.

Graphics are maybe a bit better than last year . Greens looks about the same but items like trees look a bit more real.

No nobody seems to be on LIVE yet. I'm not really fine tuned enough to go online yet but I was surprised others aren't on. I need to brush up my skills and build my guy up a bit before we go on.

I haven't messed with the other modes yet but I took today off work for a reason. I knew this and the Star Wars DVDs would keep me very busy.

its sitting in the wrapper right on my bed taunting me to play it, but I still must wait a few more hours to play. but on a side note the ebgames promo I guess either had an error or has changed because all the games I traded in got bumped to 10$ no matter of price so I got Tiger Woods for free. Saweet. Considering Nfl 2k4 was worth 75cents the bumping it up came in nice. 5 games totalling 16.75 in credit was nicely rounded up to $50.

I was at BB yesterday and was going to get because I have been waiting all summer for this game but I passed on it. I figured I would try and trade in some games at ebgames and knock down the price. I can't wait to play it though.

Just picked it up today...maybe we can get a DVDtalk tournament going here...

Hopefully it'll run as smooth as the current NFL2k5 leagues

I'm loving it so far. I like all the small details this year, plus all the new equipment.

If there are any night-owls here I'm a late night person and I'd like to get some games going here soon. I'm getting tired of waiting on my buddy to get on and play.

I got it yesterday and played a couple of rounds. I'm not doing too bad since I never really play video games, and have only played about 3 holes of TW 2004 before yesterday (that got me to buy 2005).

I wouldn't mind playing online with you guys, but I have to figure out get online...

I finally got to play with my buddy tonight and the game was kinda laggy.
He had trouble with his setup last semester and finally got it to work this semester. I'm thinking he still has a few bugs to work out. We lost the connection around the 6th hole.

What the heck does the Hole In One Trophy Ball unlock? I finally made one and something about EA Highlights being unlocked came up on the screen. I think that is what it said but I hit the button by mistake and it was gone.
