When I first got this game, I was stoked. I have the 2004 and 2005 versions of the franchise, so I was impatiently awaiting the release of Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 06 version.
When I started playing however, I wasn’t too happy. They completely removed the caddy and replaced it with a "camera" that shows the best path to the hole. It took some getting used to, and I have to admit I tossed my Xbox controller a few times. I mean, even Tiger has a caddy (Steve Williams) to help him on Tour. Why did they remove the caddy?
The biggest change has to be the putter. It works as any other club does. The further you pull it back, the harder you hit the ball. Likewise, pulling back a percentage of the backswing strikes the ball with less force. After a few rounds in "Rivals" mode, I was able to master the new putting system, and can handily beat all the rivals… even Tiger as we "travel through time."
So, with all my bitching about the game in the past, I’m actually enjoying this new version. I like that they kept David Feherty and Gary McCord, however, I wish they’d update their quips and commentary. They added a few new lines in, but there’s a lot of the old commentary still left from previous versions.
