Historic for me as I always get all the courses. They better have added some more dynamic camera options at the very least. Pretty sure me and JCauthen have been bitching about it forever over on the TW forum. I would still be ranting about it over there too but the TW devs are an odd bunch when it comes to listening to what "sim players" want. I know there is a balance to please all but some of the stuff they do to piss off the sim crowd would be eliminated with some simple options.

TW 12 Do you want completely eliminate CADDY and all the shot information on the screen? Yes
TW 13 Change putting/chipping to feel more like Links 2004? Yes please (I can dream... I enjoyed the new swing mechanics up till you get to putting and chipping that does not work well with the limited motion of the analog swing)

In regards to the cameras, I have no idea why EA does not just hire JCauthen part time or just do what he mentions in his posts.

Who is the genius at Tiburon who thought it was a good idea to each each cutscene with a downward zoomed image of the ball? I know you catch more flies with honey but FFS really? :fp:

This is a tough call for me to make. I would really like to purchase the Historic Edition. I will have to find out about the swing and putting features before I could commit to buying the game. I just couldn't get into the way they changed things in Tiger 13. I know it's just a pipe dream of mine but I wish they could include the old swing meter and putting system in TW 14. This year was the first year I didn't buy the game since it was first released. I would like to get back to playing TW PGA Tour once again.

If the ball drop glitch has been fixed, I will go Historic all the way. :nod:
