It Seems Easy, But Tiger’s Greatest Feat Is Damn Hard In A Video Game
In no rec league could I ever throw a no-hitter. Alone on a basketball court I’d need half an hour to score 69 points — and a trampoline to dunk. But I can do all of those things in my living room. Video games give us the conceit of doing the impossible, but only now has one demonstrated how hard that really is.
EA Sports Also Hurts After A Rough Week Of Painful Cuts
Theoretically, sports should be one of the safer gigs in video games today. These are series that come out every year, they’re usually reliable sellers, the publishers have sunk a lot of money into a licence, and often they’re the only ones holding it. It isn’t like taking a risk on a new concept that fails to catch on.
Winners Always Quit And Quitters Always Win — If It’s In A Video Game
After he carded a seven, the dreaded snowman on a par five, a six and a double-bogey on a par three, I half expected to see Rory McIlroy slink off the green, feigning tooth pain. He’d come into this final round atop the leaderboard at 10-under par, and now saw all of that vaporized in the first four holes of a disastrous Sunday.
For Men Who Play As Women, Tiger Woods Will Present A Difficult Choice
For two years now, golf fans have been able to create a female professional and play the men’s PGA Tour with her. The creation of an LPGA Tour mode in this year’s game is another step forward. It’s the tour’s first appearance ever in a console video game, and the first time gamers may play a career mode associated with a real-life women’s professional league.
The Latest Celebrity Golfer In Tiger Woods PGA Tour Is Satan, Apparently
This image went out earlier in the week from the official Twitter feed for EA Sports’ Tiger Woods PGA Tour series. “Night golf” is among a slew of features arriving in this year’s edition (along with an LPGA Tour mode, throwback equipment and historic course layouts). Who better to advertise that than the Prince of Darkness?
Three Months After It Launched, The Wii U Is Irrelevant To Sports Gaming
For sports gaming, the Wii U wasn’t looking much better than its predecessor even a month after release, and there are no signs the console is going to be a full partner anytime soon. The signals sent by sports’ dominant publisher indicate it just has no interest in building for the console.
At Last, Tiger Woods PGA Tour 14 Brings Sudden Death To Life
For the longest time, a tie was as good as a win in the final round of a Tiger Woods PGA Tour event. The game’s career mode did not simulate playoff holes if your golfer finished in a deadlock with one or more others. The tournament simply ended and you still got credit for a victory. But it was a glaring shortcoming, and if it happened in a Major, the lack of closure was almost agonising.
All Four Of Golf’s Major Tournaments Will Finally Appear In A Video Game
All four major tournaments of men’s golf — The Masters Tournament, The United States Open Championship, The Open Championship and the PGA Championship — will appear in Tiger Woods PGA Tour 14, a detail practically lost among other features announced for the game, such as nighttime golf and the debut of the LPGA Tour.
Women’s Pro Golf Gets Its Career Mode In This Year’s Tiger Woods Game
Player-created female athletes aren’t anything new to EA Sports’ Tiger Woods PGA Tour games. But, while those avatars have been able to compete in the sport’s most storied tournaments, there hasn’t been any virtual representation of the LPGA Tour in the golf games. That all changes this year, with the inclusion of a new LPGA career mode in Tiger Woods ’14.
