Just like all the sports titles by EA, when you come out with a new game every year, it's hard to keep coming up with new features to make the game different. I always wait to buy the EA games 1 year after they're released cuz why pay $60 for '10 when you can get '09 for $15-$20 used? Just my opinion. This is my first PS3 version, I've played the PS2 version in years past so this is a nice upgrade strictly based on the graphics. I'm unable to connect this game w/the internet since I don't have internet in my home (I know, hard to believe), but I think it would be a better experience if I was able to. The game is a lot of fun. Creating your own golfer is amazing in terms of how detailed the attributes are. I found myself improvong my skills to the point where I'm at 8-9 or better in each of the 4 categories, then I'm able to play any major event and win each one by a landslide. It takes a little of the fun out, but all that's left to really do is complete the Tiger Challenges, which I've only done a few at this point. All in all, I think its similar to all the TW games from years past. Buy it used for $15, and you'll have fun. I'll probably buy '10 sometime in the spring and I hope it has new features but I won't keep my hopes up.Read full review
Tiger Woods '09 brings a much improved feeling to the golfing experience as the swinging has improved. Also, you are told exactly how you swing so that you may compensate for your natural swing (I tend to hook the ball myself). The graphics are great as usual (although the background scenery is not stellar). The level designs are impressive and challenging and the game's music score is excellent and makes the game experience fun. Online play is smooth and the simultaneous game play is a great development in the series as every player can swing without waiting for their opponents. Cons: You cannot skip your CPU opponents turns during tournaments which makes them take forever. There should be more mini games as some were removed from last years title. Announcers can get annoying and lack enthusiasmRead full review
I own both a PS3 and an XBOX 360 so was trying to decide which version of this game to get. I downloaded both demos and compared them side by side on graphics and gameplay and found that the PS3 version was limited to 720p while the XBOX 360 version was running at 1080i - I suspected that it was just because the PS3 demo was set to play at 720p only. I ended up buying the PS3 version because the colors seemed to be brighter and after reading a review elsewhere that quoted the EA Sports design team saying they had made great efforts to bring the PS3 version inline with the XBOX 360 version in terms of graphics. When the game arrived it ran at 720p only and there was no support for the PSN Trophy system. While there is nothing wrong with the gameplay - it is identical to the XBOX 360, I found that the limited display resolution and lack of Trophies was enough to sway me over to the XBOX 360 version !Read full review
I have had all the pc Tiger Woods games and didn't want to go to the ps3 format because I didn't know if I could play as well without the mouse. I had no problem with either swing on the controller and better yet, I can relax with my feet up while I am playing. I plan on getting all the ps3 Tiger Woods PGA Tours and having a lot of fun with it!

Realtime ESPN ticker and announcers while in menu. Number of courses(have to win extra courses). Dislikes: Inability to change controller designation for more than one player. Overall a great game!!! A must have!! My wife and I play this one all the time. P.S. Neither of us have ever played a real game of golf.
