Hi everyone,

I didnt play any part of the TW series since TW04 so I dont know when this changed, but I noticed that the grid in TW08 is much smaller than it was in TW04.
So I cant really see whats going on before the flag when I do long putts or chips.
Does anyone have a solution for that? (please dont tell me to play expert without grid even I am good real-life green reader, Im not in TW. )


Thanks a lot.

Cheers,
Martin

Hi.....
You can change the grid to: white grid


Go to your 08 Game install
(default location) C:\Program Files\EA SPORTS(x86)\Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 08\Data\Images\Game

find the file: gradient.dds
right click on the file
rename
change the name to: xgradient.dds

This removes the gradient colours from the grid display
leaving a white grid

Thanks gunpower!

I already read that in some older posts.
But that won't help me with the size of the grid.

Martin, if you change the grid to "always on" in Options, you'll get a larger grid.

Martin, I don't use the grid but I believe that I once saw that the more putting attributes you acquire, that the grid size increases along with them. I just switched to an advanced setting and went into the game and turned on the grid and it was covering more than the entire green. I'm at 100/100 for all attributes in the game. If you're using a professional player setting, then I don't know what would cause it to be too small.

Thanks 2 both of you.

@Otto
Unfortunately changing Grid to 'Always' didn't help.

@Stephanie
Looks like you're right: When I play with a PRO I get a much bigger grid. Nice feature, kinda like that idea.
