Hi All,

I have Tiger Woods 03, and am a complete newbie to CA. I have already read the EA CA manual and a lot of the postings on this site and still cant find the answers I need, so I apologize if theyve been addressed before. Being new to course design I decided to use the NCW, I had great fun laying out the holes etc. but when it came time to compile, it gave me the following warnings:

No putting green defined
No chipping range defined
No driving range defined

I have no idea what any of this means since I thought the NCW did everything for you, and I didnt see any references to those error messages in the manual or in the postings here.

Thanks,
Mahlon

Also, you can ignore those warnings, as you DO NOT have to have those areas defined.

Word...

Hi Guys,

I really appreciate all the help, but I still have a few questions:

Gunpowder- I tried as you suggested but when I try to define those areas they are all grayed out, how do I edit them once Im done using the wizard.

Axe- Its great to know that I can ignore those warnings, but if thats the case, then what is the final step in getting my course ready to use in the game after Ive compiled it? I keep going into the course selection screen and I dont see it, so I must be missing 1 or more critical steps.

Thanks,
Mahlon

Hi mahlon....after you compiled course you will have to install course in TW game with CLsetup or course utilities, same way you install other custom courses.

Hi All,

I just wanted to thank everyone who helped me to understand the steps involved in getting a course prepped for gameplay, Im able to play my course now, and while its nothing special, it was a fun exercize to learn the basics of the CA tool. I was also able to download a few of the real championship courses and am having a blast playing them. I wish there were a few more championship courses availble for 03, such as Oakmont, Winged Foot, Shinnicock, Bethpage Black, Carnoustie, Etc. However, I understand that at this point in the series, very few people are probably designing for 03 anymore. I will have to upgrade to one of the more recent years soon :)

Is there any concensus as to which is the best game in the series?

Thanks,
Mahlon

Consensus? That would be like asking everyone to have the same political views - lol.

Ive noticed a huge increase in the number of people using 07, so one might assume that 07 is the most widely liked version.

Plus TW03 is widely viewed, (or was it 02? Crap now Im not sure), as the worst version EA ever put out. (I threw mine into Lake Michigan about 2 months after purchase and the fish must have thrown it back. I found it on a pier one day here). The more I think about it maybe it was 02 that started the whole EA stinks fiasco. Seriously though, if you can find 07 for $19.99 in some discount bin, get that one if you have the computer run it. Personally I like 06 by far the best but 07 is decent plus youll get to play all the new courses.

I think the different features they throw in each year might make a person prefer ones years game to the next. But as far as the graphics and lighting go, I prefer 07.

It was 2002, it was that bad that it wasnt even released in Europe, come to think of it 2000 was a similar wash out, as for the best version it surely has to be the current one (07), and I would anticipate 08 to be an improvement on this but only time will tell.
