Bought it when it first came out & haven't stopped yet. I have a PS3 & have TW09 & TW10 but i still like this one the most. To me this one is the easiest to play & I like having up to 34 tournaments a season to compete in, the newer games only have 20 tournament seasons. On TW05 you can play tournaments with multiple profiles at the same time, up to four, something else you can't do on the newer games. Also, the newer games drop your abilities down some when you have bad rounds so you constantly have to keep your player practicing when not playing in actual tournaments to keep up their attributes, this is a serious pain & takes up un-necesary time that you could be progressing through the games. On TW05, once your guy or girl is maxed out, they stay that way no matter how lousy a round you have. I also like the trophy room portion of the game. The only thing this game doe's not do is track how many victories you have in career mode, they tell you how you did at the end of the year as far as wins & money & the money carries over because there's a goal on the game to finaly catch & surpass Tigers winnisgs but they do not carry wins over. I wish EA would just make an updated version of this exact game with all the same options, all they need to do is update the graphics for PS3. If you still have a PS2 & want a fun & easy to play version of Tiger Woods golf for the whole family, pick this one up.
