More competition for Tiger Woods
2010 has definitely been a tough year for the top cat of the Golf World. Tiger Woods has been losing form every since the news of his infidelity came out. Losing out on the course was somewhat expected, but losing virtually as well was something no one expected.
It is true because the John Daly ProStroke Golf for ps3 has clearly done better than the Tiger Woods golf games.
The Tiger Woods 07 that came out for Wii did give some trouble and wasn’t that accurately designed. With that game being the first motion controlled video golf game, this was expected.
The series has made giant leaps in the following years, but even the Tiger Woods 11 Move Edition doesn’t meet the standards. This could be because of the high bar established by the Wii game or that players seem to enjoy other games more.
The Tiger Woods Move game does provide the Wii-mote motion in a notable style. It is the swing mechanic that doesn’t really give the feel it’s supposed to provide. It is the advanced technology that has transformed a gimmick into an actual sporting experience.
The game thus hasn’t been able to match up to the experience Wii is able to provide.
What’s missing in the Wood’s game is the type of creativity that creates competition. This could be since the EA hasn’t had a competitor for their golfing crown, thus things haven’t built up more on the ground-breaking lines.
Now when John Daly’s Prostroke Golf is compared to the aforementioned game, it surely does challenge Tiger’s game. Comparison of the sales of the two games is clearly sufficient evidence of which company is doing better.
The John Daly game gives an acceptable first person view when one is swinging. Also, there is a nice touch where you can press a button to view up from the ball to see where you are hitting. The way one can view his or her game really adds to the whole experience
one wants to give the player. The swing view also gives a gauge that shows the players on how hard they are hitting the ball. All this gives the player a good idea about their starting point. Whereas, the Wood’s game doesn’t give any feedback of that sort
and possibly disappoints the player.
With the advancing technology and the increasing customer expectations, both the companies are working to improve their games. Hopefully, Tiger Woods would be able to come up with something better.
