POCG VERDICT
The most realistic golf game EA has made. That cuts both ways.
Total Swing Control finally gives Tiger Woods PGA Tour the difficulty it always needed, and then some. Worth the investment if golf simulation is what you are actually after.
About This Game

Tiger Woods PGA Tour 13 is EA Sports' 2012 entry in its long-running golf simulation series, released exclusively on Xbox 360 and PS3. The headline change is Total Swing Control, a revamped swing mechanic that gives players full responsibility over club path, tempo, and contact timing, making this the most demanding and realistic version of the series to date. Tiger Woods returns to the cover alongside Rory McIlroy after a lower-profile 2012 release.
