And keep in mind that was already accomplished in Links 2004 on a last-gen console. Absolutely no reason this can't be incorporated into the game on next-gen systems, 5-6 years after the fact. The only thing preventing the TW developers from introducing a similar-style swing mechanic into the TW series is their continued decision not to. Not because of any game controller limitations, in other words.

Please, please do not make the swing like the Precision Putter. Basically a 3-click tempo swing would ruin the game, imo. A few suggestions.

Online peer-to-peer
The course mappers benefit with rank points when playing the same set over and over and over. Remove this benefit by only allowing a random game of 3, 9, and 18 to apply to rank. Unranked games can still be played however someone desires, but a ranked game has to be an official game where the computer desides what course you'll play. Doesn't have to be a different course every hole, just a random set. Course, wind, speeds, hardness, pin position...all randomly set once the users all "ready-up". If not all random, then at least the course and pins. Remove the benefit of these things (repeating courses, etc.), and the problem is solved.

Tournaments and General
Not knowing the programming difficulties (would hate to cause more 2-in glitches and/or dunk glitches), but we need a much greater number of pin positions. It would be nice to have 5-10 pin positions per difficulty setting. 5 easy, 5 mediums, 5 hards, and 5 experts. We only get to set the difficulty and 1 of five would be selected by computer.

Live Weather is fine, just make it where 0 wind doesn't exist. I know a 1 isn't much harder, but at least it's something.

Make the flop shot way shorter with no ability to tune. 80 yrd flops are ridiculous. Should be 35 yrds or so.

Instead of overhauling the game mechanics by adding a randomness that we may all regret, simply remove the ability to map and remove the benefit of the one-course sitters/mappers.

Precision swing is the best swing you guys have ever come up with!! Please incorperate it in all swings!!

The only people who dont like it are the amatuer players, the tour pro players recognize for what it was intended for, to make the game harder and more realistic. Maybe you should have 2 editions of Tiger next year, the Amatuer mode for the kids , and the tour pro for the men.

I'm confused now....

I like amatuer for its "ease" of play.... so I'm a 40 year old child....

But,

I also like TP for the challenge.... so I'm a 40 year old man.

Hmm.... I guess this actually means I am sort of in between and therefore only 21 years old

Thnx Dom, I feel much better knowing I am actually much younger than the wife keeps reminding me I am.

I play tiger 10 PS3. The direction and speed of the wind effect the flight of a golf ball, but so does the temperature and the humidity i think?? Anything to make the game more real and more difficult or at least variable, in certain levels or tiers, is fine with me.

Thank you EA for making a truly great game and for asking for input this way to make it even better every year.

I think this would work perfect. I would love to see this.

I would like some info from the team on what you are trying to do with Tiger Woods is the game supposed to be a golf sim? Or an arcade golf game, I would think with the name Tiger Woods PGA TOUR golf it would be your intentions to be trying to make Tiger Woods a golf sim, or you wouldn't waste your money on the PGA license? But at this time Tiger Woods is no were near a golf sim in any form, so before I give my input can you tell me what Tiger Woods is supposed to be please.

I think we all know what it is at present. What would be nice to know is what next years version is going to be? Will it be worth buying or is it going to be another "arcade fest." How about some input EA.
