Thoughts/Questions:
I have not played any of the Tiger Woods PGA Tour games on this generation of consoles. Other than the new control options like the Wii Remote, and that being updated with WM+, or the Sony games now getting the Sony Move support, I don't see how the Tiger Woods PGA Tour games have changed a whole lot from the initial games, as of game-play.
If you have played the Tiger Woods PGA Tour franchise games on a near yearly basis, please leave your thoughts if you think the franchise has continuously changed for the better; or, do you think somebody that purchased one of the original games in the franchise has experienced, for the most part, what the most recent franchise releases are offering?
