EA has said that Wii MotionPlus will put an end to lazy, couch/wrist Wiimote gaming. This clip demonstrates why.
David Kenson writes "Tiger Woods 12 manages to squeeze out a few more improvements on Tiger Woods 11's already full rostrum of options. Like last year, MotionPlus allows the game to capture a one-to-one backwards and forwards stroke, but now it adds the Balance board into the swing equation for the first time."
He provides a comparison of the different version of Tiger on the Wii, which highlights the up-and-down nature of the EA franchise.
That's a very thorough look at the last five titles in the series as compared to the latest. I have to say that I'm occasionally addicted to golf games, although I prefer them on the arcade-y side (I loved Sensi Golf on the Amiga!). If I take the plunge again this will be really helpful!
Not 100% sure about using the balance board. I suppose it isn't as vigorous as Raving Rabbids but the board isn't as stable as a golf course. Interesting use of the board though.
Good grief... well I guess if I played golf this could be an amazing teaching tool. As I don't Ill have to play it with features all turned off if I want any hope of success. Still good for EA to at least be trying to make use of the Wii peripherals and iterating on a franchise on a console where most developers just pump out lazy ports.

EA was recently confirmed as a strong supporter of the PlayStation Move, and it looks like they will be showing off their work thus far tomorrow night.
the Move will be an excuse for EA to keep chruning out the same games every year....we already barley see any new gameplay elements as it is...
they will play it off with the whole..."look now you can throw the ball and hit the golf ball just like the pros!!!!"
I might get Tiger Woods if EA supports it with the PSmove. I dont even like golf that much but it sounds like it could be loads of fun.
I seriously can't wait for the Ape Escape 4 bundle! I've been waiting for almost 8 years since AE2 came out because I never really got a chance to play AE3 so AE4 with the PS-Move is going to be awesome!
1999 Ape Escape 1 on the PlayStation FTW!
RespawnAction: "This week at Target stores in the US, gamers can save big on all of the EA Sports titles!"
both images( of the game and the developer) seemed out of sync, at some points the game character is a bit behind and then its the developer a bit behind(when he shows that you can turn the controller for effect).
So now i wonder how fast Motion plus is cause this is confusing.
Anyway it looks awesome =D maybe my first golf game?
I bought all the Tiger Woods games for the Wii so far... Tiger 09 I really like and look forward to this version (I still am playing through the PGA tour after beating the Tiger challenge)... I just wish I could have these controls for my xbox 360 because I can't stand the Wii graphics (improved but I want HD graphics), but I like the game play... oh well; Also, what am I going to do with my Nerf golf club accessory when I will have an a longer controller thanks to the motion plus addon???... I guess they will release all new products- tennis racket, golf club, and bat attachment (just so you know my wife bought me the Nerf pack- I'm not a kid, but I like the feel of the golf club because of the added weight- much better than just swinging the remote)... I take it that this game will only work if you have motion plus? I want motion plus....
Now I'll hook 25% of my shots just like I do in real life! :D
With inferior graphics, Lack of achievements/trophies, poor online if any at all and diminished possibility of DLC, the Wii version will sadly remain on the shelf, based off of my money.
the 2 things i ask most of out of nintendo is a achievements/trophies system and to get rid of friend codes they say it stops kids from speaking to strangers but if a stranger tries to add you just dont accept its easy as that and after that its all down to the parents
