SportsGamerShow - E3 Sports Video Game Predictions
E3 is the biggest video game trade show of the year and is often used as a place to showcase the latest titles.
With the event being a few weeks away, sports gamers are anxiously waiting for new information on some of their favorite titles and getting a first look at new games as well.
So what can gamers expect to see at this year’s E3? In this episode of SGS, I’ll give you my E3 sports video game predictions and take a stab at what I think will be announced at the event.
EA Sports Slated to Release Tiger Woods PGA Tour 13 Patch
Today EA Sports is expected to release a patch for Tiger Woods PGA Tour 13 designed to fix several issues with the game, including the way you swing when using Kinect on the Xbox 360.
Users can now swing facing the Kinect sensor on lower difficulty. Prior to the patch, users were required to swing parallel to the screen.
Other notable updates include fixing long load times with the GameFace feature, adjustments to various chip animations and eliminating exploits with the Strike Meter on Tournament Difficulty.
However, freezing and live weather issues are not addressed in the patch, which is only available for 360 users. No word on if the patch will be available for PS3 users.
A complete list of patch notes can be viewed here. If you missed the SGS review of the game, you can watch it here.
UPDATE: The patch is now available for download on Xbox 360.

With the Masters in full swing, it’s only fitting to review Tiger Woods PGA Tour 13.
The game comes with several new additions, including a new swing mechanic, online country clubs and Tiger Legacy Challenge mode.
Although most of the new features work well, inconsistent Kinect integration, DLC setup and bland presentation prevent Tiger Woods PGA Tour 13 from hitting a hole-in-one.

New Tiger Woods PGA Tour 13 Media Reveals Online Features
EA Sports has released details on Tiger Woods PGA Tour 13’s new online features, including Online Country Clubs and the game’s new coins-based economy.
Players can now earn coins through gameplay and use the virtual currency to buy “pins” that can be used to unlock unlimited play on PDLC courses.
Users can also join online country clubs and participate in tournaments to gain increased coin payouts.
The ability to unlock PDLC through gameplay should satisfy gamers who were frustrated for being forced to purchase additional courses in last year’s title.
Videos detailing these new features can be found on the SGS YouTube page. New screenshots are also available on the SGS Facebook page.
