  • Great gameplay with realistic swing mechanics, especially when using the PS Move controller.
  • Good graphics and sound, providing an enjoyable golfing experience.
  • Rich in content with many courses and options for character progression.
  • Long loading times and frequent delays between menus can be frustrating.

  • The game struggles with motion controls for putting, leading to a less enjoyable experience.
  • gameplay
    9 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is generally praised for its quality and immersive features, such as realistic weather and improved swing mechanics, making it one of the best iterations in the series. However, players express frustration over the reliance on microtransactions, server issues limiting content access, and a lack of clear explanations for new mechanics, which can detract from the overall experience. Despite these drawbacks, the game offers a rich variety of courses and settings, contributing to an engaging gameplay experience.

    • “Lots of courses, lots of settings, great gameplay.”
    • “Tiger Woods has never been better; the weather is very real, and the gameplay is great—just an amazing game.”
    • “Have played Tiger Woods for the last 6 years or so, and I personally think that although this game evolves with separate releases, EA tries to improve features which were originally sound and didn't require improvement. The exception with 13 is the swing gameplay—best yet.”
    • “You can earn them through gameplay, but you would be playing this every day for a year just to get close to the amount of points you need.”
    • “Whilst the gameplay itself is okay, the biggest problem here is that EA have turned off all the servers.”
    • “The game fails at explaining its new mechanics to the player adequately; Tiger Legacy mode is entirely meaningless; the game's focus on DLC can be off-putting; the game can get overwhelming.”
  • graphics
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, the graphics in the game are generally considered good, with some players praising their quality and the new courses. However, there are complaints about long loading times and occasional glitches, such as screen freezes during gameplay. While the visuals are satisfactory, they do not stand out as exceptional compared to previous iterations.

    • “I love this game, the graphics are superb as is the gameplay.”
    • “The graphics are good and the new courses are a good change.”
    • “Well, the graphics we did think were good (we played on a 51" plasma) so that's a plus.”
    • “I found the game irritatingly long to load, and made worse by every hole requiring further waiting time to load graphics.”
    • “There is a glitch in the graphics as the ball you have played is coming to a rest; sometimes the screen freezes momentarily then jumps to where the ball has stopped.”
    • “The graphics and sound are fine but not astonishing.”
  • stability
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users report significant stability issues with the game, including frequent freezes and graphical glitches, even on new hardware. These problems detract from the overall experience and have led to disappointment among players.

    • “I am very disappointed with this game as it was bought new, played once on a new PS3, and it freezes. There are no marks on the disk.”
    • “There is a glitch in the graphics where the ball you have played is coming to a rest; sometimes the screen freezes momentarily and then jumps to where the ball has stopped.”
  • music
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game has received negative feedback, with users expressing disappointment over the removal of engaging sound effects and the inability to play custom tracks. Many find the provided music to be dreadful, contributing to an overall sense of boredom in the gameplay experience.

    • “EA Sports has ruined this entertaining and visually stunning game by taking away most of the effects. The 'heartbeat' effect when you're about to land close to the hole has gone, as have the perfect strike effects. Now this game is just boring. The supplied music is absolutely dreadful, and you cannot play your own!”
    • “The music in this game is incredibly repetitive and lacks variety, making it hard to stay engaged while playing.”
    • “I find the soundtrack to be uninspired and forgettable, which detracts from the overall experience of the game.”
