Whatever happened to fully customizable golfers???

Fully Customizable Golfers? And I’m not talking about equipment, and clothing……. I’m talking about the virtual person who is going to represent you out on the golf course 🤔 I’m going to seriously date myself with this one but does anyone here remember a really cool golf game (IMHO) called Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2005 that was on the PS2? Talk about some seriously sweet customization features! Height, weight, etc etc and complete control over just about every aspect of their face 🤔 You could even adjust the cheek bones for crying out loud 😲🫣😂🤣 So it begs the question why is it that an ancient system like the PS2 could have those capabilities and yet they choose not to have those same capabilities (and certainly better) ones in this golf game on the PS5? Instead we’re forced to choose from a lame bunch of premade “face plates” and two “body styles” 🙄😑 Surely EA (or ANY video game company for that matter) can do BETTER than this? Thoughts? Opinions? Let ‘em rip!!! 🤔😲🫣😂🤣 Oh and just in case any of you were wondering what got me started on this little rant………Is it just me or does anyone else here get a little creeped out when their golfer smiles? 😳😲🫣😂🤣 Reminds me of one of those clown horror movies 😲😳🫣

  • @Cowboy1963EA is not the only one, 2K used to have sliders to adjust for height and weight. I find this odd since a large majority of people don't represent the characters on the screen.

    But I agree with you, they can look a little creepy.

  • I remembered I got a little carried away with Photo Game Face in another post. But it is more relevant here. Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2012 to 2014 have some advanced features. Not only game face was available but also height, weight/shape and voice modifications were available. My golfer from TW14 was Gal Gadot; gameface successfully emulated her looks. I got her voice set but her accent was not available; if I set vocal pitch to 100, she would have sounded like Stephanie McMahon of WWE. My friend used gameface to create Kevin Hart, adjust height to shortest available and adjust body shape to skinniest possible. Setting the vocal pitch to 100 (aka Chipmunk Voice) shockingly sounded like Kevin Hart. 

    It shocks me how a PGA Tour for Xbox Series X or PS5 has regressed and has much lesser features than previous gen consoles. The biggest kicker is the voice control of TW12 to TW14 are more advanced than NBA 2K and WWE 2K at Next Gen Consoles.

  • @ELF014 You’re right, I forgot about the sliders in 2k 🤔 but then again I haven’t played that for awhile now.

    @PalomaMarvel24 Exactly!! Surely these next-gen consoles should be more than adequate to handle some creative programming that would give us the ability to shape our virtual golfers into something a little more…………UNIQUE 😉😲🫣😂🤣

    It is ironic that TW14 was released more than 10 years ago. I remembered back when I was playing TW14, my friend asked me for a prediction on character creations on TW24. I was predicting gameface would even look like how it is currently done on photo face capture of WWE 2K23. I was also predicting that the voice options would account for Gal Gadot’s accent. I was completely wrong on my prediction. There is no gameface, no voice options and no Tiger Woods in title on the current game.

    In Barbie, the 2001 Space Odyssey Theme is played to show how dolls evolved from Old School to Barbie. The character creation evolution from TW14 to current game resembles playing 2001 Space Odyssey Theme in reverse.

  • Hell yea i remember and i completely agree... My golfer needs gold and platinum teeth asap!

    Well, not really, or does he? Either way your post hit some memories here - and obviously proper customization options would be very much appreciated.

    @PalomaMarvel24 Well as far as the predictions go……..In your defense, you had no way of knowing that Mr. Woods was going to screw up the way that he did and that he and EA would be parting ways because of it 🤔😲🫣🙄😑 I mean lets face it, right up to that point in time they had a pretty sweet franchise going there 🤔

    @Cowboy1963  If this series stayed as Tiger Woods PGA Tour every year, I think the customization would progressively improve because there would be no hiatus. It actually took 8 years from Rory to Current Game. Ana De Armas would really look like her if Gameface of TW14 and the current graphics are combined. Her voice would also be picked up with an updated vocal settings

    @IrieGibbonz  TW14 had some great memories and I really miss that game. If the gameplay & customization of TW14 and the graphics of current game are combined, that game would totally rock.
