Tiger Woods PGA Tour 09 - First look

The problem with Tiger Woods is that each new update ends up attempting to tweak a game that was pretty much perfect from the beginning. Fortunately, with Tiger Woods PGA Tour 09, that's not the case. The finely-balanced and intuitive swing system is left untouched, and EA have focused on tinkering with something more interesting: You.

EA weren't clear on how many moments Haney might pick out from each round, but you will be able to select your last four such replayable moments from the main career menu - suggesting four is the max. It's a very clever idea, recreating the exact circumstances of your previous error and enabling you to put it right, and a positive way to improve your skills. In game-terms, though, it also directly affects your player's dynamic attributes.
