![]() This is a great mechanic as your best shots on your best holes will get better and better as time progresses.Ĭlothing and equipment can be upgraded from the pro shop using money obtained from completing challenges. Hit a birdie, a fantastic recovery shot or a super accurate long drive and the relevant confidence stat will increase. The more confident you are the smaller you targeting circle. Every hole, club and shot type has it's own confidence stat. Once you have increased your stats you can go back and replay the pro's to increase your rewards.Īn additional stat is your players confidence, though this isn't one stat for everything. Some of the pro battles can take several attempts. One frustrating element of the game is that you can often lead a game for the first seven holes only to lose the last two and come out of it with nothing. Once you get your stats past 20% the game does get easier and less frustrating. In its earlier stages the game is remarkably difficult, the slightest misjudgement on the left analogue stick can cause a terrible shot. Don't worry though, once you hit your skill cap your skills will still increase into unrealised potential, you get access to these improved skills next time your stats increase. Like other challenges the pro games have a gold, silver and bronze reward, the difference here is that bronze awards a 7% increase to your skill cap, silver gives 10% and gold 12%. Accessing a pro is done by completing all of the surrounding challenges. To raise your skill cap you must beat a pro. Each challenge has three goals, a gold, silver and bronze. Fir example hit a long straight drive and your accuracy, power boost and power will all increase. Skills improve by carrying out especially impressive shots. Completing a challenge will unlock neighbouring challenges. The challenges make up a large grid with Tiger himself at the centre. Tiger challenges will make up a significant amount of your career. For example the driving challenge (drive a ball further than a computer opponent) will improve your driving skills. Skill challenges are simple set pieces which will improve your skill in a specific area. Skills can be increased by completing Tiger challenges or skill challenges. ![]() ![]() Your created golfer will start with a stat cap of 10% and all skills set to zero. One of the core elements of the game is creating the career mode. This is much more similar to older golf games where you have a power bar and click the button when the bar hits the required power and accuracy. Alternatively there is a three click system. Obviously doing this makes it more difficult to swing in a straight line. To boost the swing past 100% you must repeatedly tap either A or left bumper. To do a shorter swing you push the stick forward before you hit the top of your swing. You need to do this as accurately as possible, deviation from the central line will cause the ball to hook or slice. To take a shot you pull back the stick and then thrust it forward. The games controls rely heavily on the left analogue stick. Unfortunately I haven't played a Tiger Woods game before and so I cannot comment as to how the current instalment differs from previous games. Well as I no longer review MMO games for Gamesxtreme it's time for a change, and Tiger Woods 08 is that change. In fact sports games haven't been that high on my 'want' list recently. It's been a while since I last played a golf game on a console.
