It might seem like there's a lot to keep track of when playing a round, but using it all will result in better scores. There's a reason why they always say keep your approach below the hole. It's only usable once so it can't be abused, but all the same it makes most putts easy, save for the frequently difficult to judge downhill attempts. Just line up a shot, and press the left bumper and it'll show you where the shot is headed, allowing you to adjust and tweak where to aim. Specifically, putting is as fun as its ever been, thanks to this mechanic and the new Уputt lineФ button. For long time players it does make the game fairly easy compared to using analog swinging (never have figured out why others don't use the same sort of swing meter Links 2004 had), but only because the level of control is that much higher. This in and of itself changes the game greatly, offering more control over approach shots and putting, as the visual representation goes a long way to showing how much power, or touch, is needed. While one could stick with the analog swinging mechanic, which this year is fairly sensitive, EA has also added (returned?) the ability to simply use the tried-and-true 3-click swing meter that almost every golf game used until the analog stick was invented. Tiger 08 isn't drastically different from Tiger 07, but it does have some major improvements to add more control to a shot. For veterans these new additions might be game savers, but for new players.they're going to be amazed at this great entry into a great, if not popular, franchise.
But thanks to some subtle tweaks, the return of a popular golf mechanic, and a surprisingly innovative online-oriented mode of play, it feels different enough to forgive the lack of a total overhaul one might expect from a developer change, a change that likely will be coming next year once Tiburon gets a handle on the franchise. On the surface, this year's game seems very much like last year's, and in most cases they'd be right.

This shift to a new developer in a yearly series means baby steps, and one could say that Tiger 08 is indeed just that. EA's cash cows Ц takes over the reigns from EA Redwood Shores, for whatever reasons. This season sees a slight shift though Ц as EA Tiburon, known for the Madden and NCAA franchises Ц i.e. It's not the biggest game out of the EA Sports camp, but Tiger Woods PGA Tour has consistently been a top-notch golf series on all the platforms its appeared on despite being one of the less popular games in the EA line.
