Not only do all golfers end up playing the same (because you tend to level their skills up evenly), but the process is cumbersome-especially if you play the series every year. The idea is to simulate a golfer getting better by practicing and gaining experience, but it feels artificial thanks to the level caps, which are the same for each skill and go up only when you beat certain tasks in the Tiger challenge. You can improve your skills a little by performing well in events, but you'll want to take the skills challenges, which are largely unchanged, to improve them quickly. Once again you start your career as either a rookie Tiger Woods or a created golfer with limited skills. Of the amateur golfers, many, like Pops Masterson, are returning favorites, but there are also some new faces, such as soccer player Wayne Rooney, to play with and against. There are 21 professional golfers in the game, eight of which are new: JB Holmes, Justin Rose, Camilo Villegas, Cristie Kerr, Morgan Pressel, Paul Casey, Paula Creamer, and Natalie Gulbis. Throw in Harbour Town and there are now 16 courses-a healthy amount, but still far fewer than in the last-gen versions. Thanks to the addition of Westchester, TPC Boston, Cog Hill, and East Lake, all FedEx Cup courses are in the game. You can now choose how long you want standard and major tournaments to be, which is nice for anyone who doesn't want to go through four rounds on the same course for one tournament. Career mode hasn't seen a whole lot of change, but what is different is better. Online play is largely unchanged-even the lag issues and glitches are back for another go. It's OK, but as the lone new play mode it's underwhelming. New to the 360 and PS3 is bingo, bango, bongo, a head-to-head mode where you are awarded "bingo" for being the first on the green, "bango" for being the closest to the pin when you reach the green, and "bongo" for having the best score. TW 08's game modes are almost exactly the same as last year's. Even the game's most noteworthy feature, the analog swing, doesn't work as well as in previous years. Also, there are a fair amount of frustrating bugs (particularly in the Xbox 360 version) that give the game a rushed feel. There are some new features, but many of them don't work. But even those expecting minimal improvements are likely to be disappointed with Tiger Woods PGA Tour 08. There's typically very little to distinguish one year's version from the next, but the games have always played well, and, judging by the sales numbers, people have been happy with the incremental upgrades.
