Its isn't the best but it isn't the worse. Its not too bad overall...
Well, the plus points. EA has certainly made an effort to make the swing anolog stick much more sensitive. Those of you who play Tiger 03 to 05 on the original xbox knows that you can NEVER MISS A FAIRWAY OR GREEN OR EVEN PULL OR PUSH THE BALL A SLIGHTEST BIT! You end up shooting eye popping scores such as 45 to 59 which in real golf, unbelievable!! Alright 59 is possible as David Duval shot it before! So this Tiger 08 swing makes it more challenging as true, in real golf, a slight fault in your technique can cause the biggest slice of your round which will result in OB or some other places you dread of puttting your ball. So in that aspect, Tiger 08 is more realistic.
Now tell me, besides Tiger 08, is there any game that allows you to play the FEDEX cup? None right? So EA has done a good or if not, excellent job in putting together the pieces of the PGA TOUR SEASON and the presentation is very well done indeed. The Photo Game face works very well indeed as well and as far as i am concerned, no other golf game offers you this feature except Tiger.
However, one of the biggest disappointments of the game is that most of the features actually remain unchanged from Tiger 07. There isn't anything for me to say 'WOW, Now that really puts Tiger Woods 08 way above all other Tigers PGAs'. It is just like taking Tiger 07 and a few changes here and there and you'll get Tiger 08.
So i really hope Tiger 09 next year will be something DIFFERENT from all Tiger series as i must admit, the Tiger Woods series is getting more stagnent each year as EA seems to be running out of ideas. Overall, TIger 08 is still a good game but it is just more like an expansion pack to Tiger 07.
