Today EA Sports released the first significant details on Tiger Woods 10. That includes the addition of the USGA license, new commentary, dynamic weather, a new putting mechanic, and “tournament atmosphere”. You can read about these features at length by visiting the EA Inside Blog here and you can see a Wii MotionPlus video demonstration here.

As you hear the roar of the crowd from the next hole over, can you handle the mounting pressure while you stand over your tournament-winning putt? Expanded crowds surround every hole; adding to the tension and excitement of each shot. A first for the franchise, real-time weather will be reflected on every course, ensuring the in-game experience matches that of the current weather conditions. Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 10 will also feature a television broadcast style presentation, which include instantaneous updates and a new announcer team of ESPN’s Scott Van Pelt and the Golf Channel’s Kelly Tilghman.

I got a chance to check out both the Wii and 360 versions this evening and will discuss them further in the coming days. However I was especially impressed with the dynamic weather and how it will affect the matches even from hole to hole. The biggest feeling I came away with though is that the Wii MotionPlus may be a game changer in the way sports titles are perceived on the Wii. Tiger Woods 10 will be out two months earlier this year than in the past with the release coming Tuesday June 16th.

The past games haven't been that impressive to me, but if it sounds as good as it sounds so far, then I will probably like it.

I'm liking what I hear so far. Pasta, any idea when we will hear about new courses and golfers (including DLC)?

Will EA FINALLY have Augusta in the game? As far as rain and weather, another last-gen element that is now named a new feature. I like the fact that the weather will change on the fly (HOPE THEY ADD THIS IN MADDEN AND NCAA FOOTBALL) but how often are golf tournaments played during downpours?

Wow. Its about time they put a little more into this game, it was so dead the last few years. I bought 07 and have held off buying any new ones untill they completely changed it up and it is looking good from the few details they have released so far.

I agree. I bought Tiger 09, which is the first time I have purchased Tiger Woods Golf since Tiger Woods 03. The reason is the changes each year are minimal.

It is nice to see the in-game updates of the other golfers. Yet, again, another feature that was in PGA Tour Golf on the Genesis.

Again, I hope EA gets on the ball and adds in-game updates in Madden and NCAA Football.

Anyone else find it funny that Kelly Tilghman is doing some of the voice work for this game? I wonder if there will be the infamous "lynch him (Tiger Woods) in the back alley" quote, that would be priceless.

Yeah man I gave the MotionPlus a whirl at the Tiger Community Day and for a guy that doesn't play the Wii, it was a blast. The putting is what stood out to me the most there.

In addition, a lot of the new features and additions are going to make this game more realistic than ever (especially compared to the current-gen titles that have been released).

DO ANY ONE KNOW IF PLAYING A SEASON CAN YOU PLAY AS TIGER NOT A MADE UP PERSON IN TIGER 10. I dd not like that in 09 I think it would be better if you could play as a professional golfer in season play.
