![]() ![]() – but how do you know what type of golfer you want to be if you're not already in the know? Tiger Woods PGA Tour 14 doesn't do much to show you the pros and cons of each. For example, you can choose the type of golfer you want to be – a power swinger, a control expert, etc. The system is very deep and intrinsic to golfers, but the rub in all of this is that Tiger Woods PGA Tour 14 doesn't do much beyond a brief tutorial to tell you how and why these mechanics work. Even greater control is factored in when you consider exactly where on the ball you want to make contact. You can draw or fade the ball with precision thanks to the analog stick controls, which monitor everything from the angles of your backswing and follow-through to the speed of each and the amount of power in your swing. Mechanically, Tiger Woods PGA Tour 14 is as sound as the series has ever been, providing an ample amount of control over the ball – both in simulation and arcade-like contexts. Naturally, scratching and clawing with your friends to be number one is much more interesting than trying to outscore XxBluntMan420xX. ![]() You can join an open club at will – you can only be in one club at a time, mind you – but the competition is dulled when you have no idea who you're competing against. The big improvements over last year include a maximum club size of 100 members over the previous limit of 25, online text chatting with club members in live tournaments – though typing with a controller is less than ideal – and creating your own club tournaments for up to 24 players.Ĭountry Clubs are perfect for keeping Tiger Woods PGA Tour 14 in your disc tray, though the feature is really dependent upon how many of your friends are actually in the club. You and your pals can sign up to champion the banner of your particular club or battle amongst each other for the title of club champion. Thankfully this isn't as distracting as it sounds – it behooves you to sit back and wait, seeing whether someone was able to squeeze a drive between those two trees, or if another bit off more than he could chew trying to clear that body of water before the green.Ĭonnected tournaments are bolstered by the return of online Country Clubs this year, essentially the Tiger Woods PGA Tour 14 equivalent of an online clan. You play the course yourself, but while you're swinging and chipping your way through, you'll see other players' shot arcs and approach lines (though not the actual players themselves). The other big addition, connected tournaments, allows multiple golfers to participate in custom tournaments live, all at the same time. Playing golf with older, obsolete clubs is an interesting hindrance – no matter how perfect your swing is, you won't be getting as much distance with an iron cleek as you would with a modern titanium or graphite club. Legends of the Majors succeeds from a gameplay standpoint by adopting the equipment and conditions of each era. The mode is great for golf fanatics, and it even takes a presentational cue from NBA 2K12 by adding grainy filters, visual effects and era-appropriate garb to better simulate the look and feel of the times. Legends of the Majors covers a vast timeline, spanning over a century of golf history. Of course many of poster boy Tiger Woods' career highlights are also here, like his first Grand Slam in 2000, his second in 2005 and third in 2008. You'll also relive Bobby Jones' pioneer Grand Slam victory and subsequent retirement in 1930. These two modes create a great balance of old and new, and provide just enough to keep Tiger Woods PGA Tour 14 from feeling too much like iterative apathy.%Gallery-184795%Legends of the Majors begins in 1873 with the first Open championship ever played at St. The latter is represented in the addition of connected tournaments, live contests where multiple golfers compete simultaneously online. ![]() Tiger Woods PGA Tour 14 pays homage to the former with the in-depth Legends of the Majors mode, a nostalgic big-budget presentation that takes players through a series of contests from golf's important moments of yesteryear. Golf is a sport of heritage, as much shaped by the past as it is the equipment and talent found in today's elite class of clubbers.
