Tiger Woods returns to the series for another round of golf in this installment. The most notable addition to this version is EA’s Game Face, which allows you to change the physical look of the players. You have the fundamentals, such as hair, skin, facial hair, and other general appearances. Still, Game Face allows you to modify everything else, including tooth shape, logos, tattoos, headbands, caps, and more. Individual body mass, muscle tone, midsection, arms, and legs can all be altered. You can also select unique swing animations, post-putt and celebration animations, and “pissed off” animations for when you make a triple bogey.
World Tour is a new option that puts you through a standard 52-week PGA tour to win money, sponsorships, and better gear. You can play for as many as twenty seasons. Another new game mode is Battle Golf, in which you can win an opponent’s clubs by defeating them. Other normal game modes are present, such as Skill Challenge, Speed Golf, and Skins Match and Practice.
The game’s ability to scan your console’s internal clock and give you game modes is a novel feature. If it’s near the end of October and your clock is set correctly, you might be invited to a Halloween event where you can win event-specific prizes.
You can play as (or against) all the great PGA players, including Vijay Singh and Justin Leonard. Newcomers to the sport, such as John Daly, have also been added.
Most of the 2003 courses have survived, along with seven new actual and fantastical techniques. Bethpage Black, an exceedingly challenging course in Washington, is one of the new courses.
Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2004, like all other 2004 EA Sports console games, has the EA Sports Bio, which tracks your achievements and games across all EA Sports products. The more EA Sports games you play and the longer you play them, the higher your EA Gamer Level and the more incentives you unlock, such as a new driver in Tiger Woods or historic teams in NHL 2004. This feature is not available on the PC version.
Customers who purchase the PlayStation 2 version can play online using EA’s matchmaking service. The Xbox and GameCube versions cannot be used to play online.
If you purchase the GameCube version, you can connect the GameBoy Advance to the GameCube to gain access to special awards not available through standard play.
