'Tiger Woods PGA Tour 11' Review - No Bad Jokes, We Promise
Posted 6/10/10 4:28 pm ET by Russ Frushtick in PS3, Reviews, Wii, Xbox 360
Since "South Park" already made the joke, we can go ahead and skip any gags about there being an "infidelity" or "terrible press conference" modes on the latest entry into the most successful video game franchise of all time. Just know that Tiger is back, and all he's doing is playing golf.
The Basics
EA Sports takes a lot of heat for not moving their sports franchises forward enough from year to year, and that argument could be made for the "Tiger Woods PGA Tour" games. They don't evolve very much from year to year, mostly because the game of golf shifts much slower than football or basketball (also, the game pretty much figured out what it was a few iterations ago, and EA is smart enough to not mess with a good thing). But "PGA Tour 11" does throw the focus on team-based competitions like the Ryder Cup (ironically, the one event that Woods hasn't dominated during his golf career). Is that new wrinkle enough to justify the new title's existence?
'South Park' Offers 'Preview' Of 'Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2011'
Posted 3/18/10 1:00 pm ET by Russ Frushtick in PS3, Video, Wii, Xbox 360
Last night on "South Park," fans of EA Sports got an early glimpse of "Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2011." Funny, when I saw this at GDC there was no mention of a spurned wife mini-game. According to Cartman, "EA Sports really outdid themselves this time!" You can check out the semi-NSFW clip after the break.
Tiger Woods Returning To Golf For Masters, EA Breathes Sigh Of Relief
Posted 3/16/10 12:53 pm ET by Russ Frushtick in News, PC, PS3, Wii, Xbox 360
Tiger Woods has announced that he'll be returning to professional golf in early April, just in time to compete at The Masters tournament in Augusta, Georgia. His return brings to an end a five-month long break from golf after it was revealed that he had participated in extra-marital relations.
Woods released a statement about the announcement, saying, "The Masters is where I won my first major and I view this tournament with great respect. After a long and necessary time away from the game, I feel like I'm ready to start my season at Augusta."
EA Confirms 'Tiger Woods PGA Tour 11' Won't Use Project Natal
Posted 3/12/10 12:43 pm ET by Brian Warmoth in News, PS3, Wii, Xbox 360, iPhone / iPad
It turns out that we weren't reading too much into that "Tiger Woods PGA Tour 11" press release this week that mentioned PS3 motion controller and Wii MotionPlus support but left off any mention of Project Natal. That's not to say EA Sports doesn't like Natal. They just didn't find themselves "in a position" to use it for Tiger's new game -- even if the PlayStation Move system worked out just fine.
'Tiger Woods PGA Tour 11' Picks PS3 Motion Controls?
Posted 3/9/10 9:46 pm ET by Brian Warmoth in News, PS3, Wii, Xbox 360, iPhone / iPad
Making good on their word to stick with Tiger Woods, EA Sports announced "Tiger Woods PGA Tour 11" this week, and though their press release boasts the phrases "Ryder Cup," "support Sony’s new PlayStation 3 Motion Controller" and "Wii MotionPlus," Project Natal didn't get a mention. Their silence doesn't necessarily mean that they left motion control support out of the 360 edition, but it does raise some questions. It also may raise the profile of Irish player Rory McIlroy who accompanies Woods on the cover.
Tiger Woods Press Conference Reaction From EA Sports
Posted 2/19/10 12:12 pm ET by Russ Frushtick in News
Tiger Woods held a press conference today to discuss recent transgressions. He admitted his guilt, saying, "I had affairs, I cheated. What I did was not acceptable, and I am the only person to blame." As the biggest star in golf, his actions obviously impacted more than just the sport itself. EA Sports, which publishes the "Tiger Woods PGA Tour" series of golf video games, will clearly be affected, as well.
EA has already gone on the record recommitting to their partnership with Tiger Woods and reassuring that "Tiger Woods PGA Tour Online" will proceed as planned. The same goes for their other Tiger Woods releases, and they now claim that sales figures since Woods' public problems haven't given them reason to change their forecast.
EA's 'Tiger Woods PGA Tour Online' Going Ahead As Planned
Posted 1/5/10 3:25 pm ET by Brian Warmoth in News, PC
EA said that their relationship with Tiger Woods wouldn't be going away anytime soon, despite predictions to the contrary. If the status of "Tiger Woods PGA Tour Online" is any indicator, they're sticking to that story.
Tiger Woods Crash Reenacted With 'The Sims'
Posted 12/1/09 5:16 pm ET by Russ Frushtick in News, Video
Since this weekend, everyone's been clamoring for video footage of Tiger Woods' car crash, but no footage seems to be coming to light. Cue the intrepid broadcast journalists of China, who have recreated the crash using what could only be described as "Sims" characters.
Tiger Woods and Jimmy Fallon Do Battle in Times Square
Posted 6/25/09 11:00 am ET by Russ Frushtick in News, Wii
At 10am on Wednesday morning, the gauntlet was thrown down between the greatest golfer of all time (probably) and the newest Late Night host. Tiger Woods and Jimmy Fallon had a mini 3-hole tourney to determine just who is the greatest Wii golf aficionado, using "PGA Tour 10" as the point of contention.
As it happens, Tiger got crushed by Fallon, needing a hole-in-one on the last hole to have a chance. Tiger was quick to recall that he's had 19 hole-in-ones over his career, but sadly this was not his 20th and he fell to Fallon by a large margin.
On a sidenote, this was the best press event ever, 'cause it took place literally 50 feet outside my building. Note to future PR people...plan every event to take place in the island in the middle of Times Square, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks.
