Much of the game remained the same in 2007 although there was improvement in the graphics.
The caddie feature also came in but once you got good at the game you didn't really listen to them. In 2006 the controls were tinkered with, with the right analog stick being the shape stick to allow you to fade or draw the ball in a different way. The Game Face feature also expanded what you could create in terms of your own player and for the first time you could do a proper PGA Tour season as you enter four-day tournaments.Īll the usual courses were on this game but the fantasy courses really took it up a notch with Greek Isles, Emerald Dragon or Paradise Cove.Īlso the Legend Pursuit was a brilliant feature - you had to go up against a variety of characters and tour professionals to earn the honour of going up against one of the legends in the game who were Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer, Seve Ballesteros, Ben Hogan and Gary Player. Beat them, and you could then go up against Sunday Tiger Woods.Īnother cool new feature was Tiger Proofing which allowed you to redesign courses to make them easier or harder once you unlocked them. Andrews Links (Old Course), Torrey Pines (South Course), TPC at Sawgrass (Stadium Course), TPC at Scottsdale (Stadium Course), Princeville Resort, Kapalua Plantation, Pinehurst #2, Bethpage Black, Spyglass Hill, Poppy Hills, Sahalee Country Club along with several fantasy courses. There was a big expansion in the number of courses you could play such as Bay Hill Club and Lodge, St. One of the things I remember most was how the game kind of went out of its way to compliment you and make it an incentive to improve your player with stats like top performances, personal bests, average scores, tour trophies, scenario medals.Ģ004 was the game I played religiously more than any other. The sound of the game improved massively with improved commentary, more background noise like waves and birds, and also there was more emphasis put on animation from the players. But they did introduce little tweaks and new elements to really improve the product. In 2003 little was done by EA Sports in terms of playability, it played pretty much exactly the same as 2002. The game received excellent reviews which ensured success in later years.
The next year EA Sports introduced a create your own player feature which seemed to go down well but the lack of Tour players and different courses held the game back.Ģ002 expanded off the back of those criticisms as lots more players were added as well as courses like Pebble Beach, TPC Sawgrass, and Royal Birkdale. The Course Architect was also a very good feature in which you could construct your own course. The 2000 game received mixed reviews with many complaining about the difficult and inconsistent putting however a number of features proved popular, such as the nine different Tour professionals you could play with or against, the overall graphics, and several different formats. This could be watched if the disc was put into a computer and selected ZZDUMMY.DAT with the media player. The 1999 game was not released without a hitch as an employee of Electronic Arts snuck a precursor episode of South Park called Jesus vs Santa onto the Playstation disc.
