What specifically, about the PC graphics make it so disappointing? Well, the player models for one look at least a couple of years old. For example, Natalie Gulbis is one of the new golfers to the roster this year. Ms. Gulbis is a very beautiful woman in real life, but you wouldn't be able to tell from looking at her low-resolution, blocky character model in Tiger Woods 07. Some of the golfers heads look to be a little on the large side, as well. To make things worse, EA has added some kind of weird blurring effect anytime the camera shows your golfer reacting after a shot.

The blur covers everything in the background so that the focus is on your golfer. The problem is, sometimes the blur covers your golfer as well, meaning the entire screen is one big blur. The courses themselves actually look a little bit better than last years game, and there is definately more detail on the courses when compared to the aforementioned ProStroke Golf, but overall, its time for a new graphics engine.

How about the audio? Well, if you heard the commentary from Tiger Woods 2004, you'll know exactly what to expect in Tiger Woods 07. EA again proves my point and shows its lack of innovation by recycling the exact same audio from three years ago, and this is true for every sports title EA has ever made. Don't believe me? Look in the Sound directory where you installed the game. Some of the commentary .mp3 files have 2K4, 2K5, and 2K6 in the title! What could the 2K4 possibly represent, other than the year 2004, which is when this commentary was originally made? EA just copied the commentary from three years ago and added it into this year's game. How creative. Way to take the easy route, EA.
