Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2000

Summary: TO HARD
Review: "Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 2000" is a worthy successor to last year's "Tiger Woods PGA Tour 1999," although I found it doesn't quite live up to its predecessor in a key area. The game itself hasn't changed a lot. The menu interface has a completely different design. It's still easy to set up and get started, and loads of fun to play. Graphics are still superb, and ball physics appear slightly improved. Three new courses (TPC at Piper Glen, TPC at Heron Bay, and TPC at Prestancia) are now offered, along with 8 new professional golfers and one surprise amateur. The big change is the addition of a course building utility which you can use to design and build your own dream course. I've only tried the course builder a couple of times, and at first glance, it appears fairly easy to use.

The problem with "Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 2000" is that, as happens frequently with newer versions of software, system requirements have gone up significantly from last year's version. (Minimum requirements: a 166MHz Pentium class computer and 32 MB RAM; recommended: a 450 MHz Pentium III computer and 128 MB RAM.) I was quite surprised at how slowly on my 466 MHz/64 MB RAM Celeron machine.

"Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 2000" is a fine golf simulation...for those with computers that have the "horsepower" to run it. However, the few substantial improvements in the game from last year's version, and slower than expected performance due to increased system requirements, means that for now, I'll stick to my tried and true "Tiger Woods PGA Tour 99 Collection." for my computer golf.

Summary: A very interesting simulation, with a few flaws overall.
Review: Although Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2000 may have more courses, more golfers, and Course Architect 2000 to build your own customized course(s), there are still a few flaws in the game that don't make the simulation as good as it really should be, or aren't better than Tiger Woods PGA Tour 99. Ball direction for one thing, can become VERY annoying at times. Sometimes, even if the backspin level is a slight off to the left or two the right, causes a draw or fade. Downloading and after installing the Patch including a Swing Meter fix from EA Sports' website only lowered the chances a slight amount, but still doesn't draw or fade as much as it would before I downloaded the patch, but still didn't solve the problem completely. A few of the courses included are a pleasure to play. TPC at Heron Bay I highly recommend playing. The graphics have improved and the 3D graphics are slightly better compared to 99. Course Architect 2000 is a very nice program to design and create your very own dream course(s). Unfortunately, the program is not that user-friendly and could be improved. And as for system requirements, Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2000 can take up a lot of hard disk space. If installing both Course Architect 2000 and the main program, it takes up more than 800 MB, and with courses that are saved can take up another 210 MB at the maximum. If you have enough hard disk space and RAM available, Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2000 is still a very interesting simulation in the series and is still worth buying.

Review: Can't get the ball or Tiger Woods to show up, only the very top of his head. EA Sports tech support hasn't answered me back for a fix. There are better golf games out there.

Review: I personally enjoy this game very much and i think that it's not the best game out there but, i don't play enough games to ever find out what the real best game actually is. The graphics in this game are the best i've seen when it comes to golf simulation games, the realism, of every shot, the realistic nature of the distances that the clubs are capable of hitting is very good, all be it there are a few minor( emphasize minor ) glitches in the i still think that it is an excellent game it was worth every penny. I especially like the added bonus of Micheal Jordan in the game it gives a certain virtual reality to it.
