The previous improvements to the game have been kept for PGA Tour 12. And you can always choose to turn the caddie off entirely. There are still plenty of things you have to do yourself, like putting spin on the balls, and power shots, so it's not like the game is playing itself. It's a great new feature though that really opens the game up and makes it more accessible for new and old players alike. It would have been nice if the caddie explained everything he did to alter the shot so that newer players could learn about the game mechanics, and graduate from having to use him. Ultimately though, he's a glorified help system, albeit a really well done one. Plus he's fully voice-acted and though he gets repetitive, he's well done. He's not designed to be perfect, so sometimes his shots aren't the absolute best shot you can take, but if you follow his advice you will golf a good game. For the most part the caddie works great. If selected, the game automatically chooses your club, adjusts your angle, and aims, but it's just up to you to take the shot at the power he suggested. Before nearly every shot, your personal caddie will recommend a couple options.
The actual mechanics of the game haven't been changed much since last year, but there is a noticeable gameplay addition: an in-game caddie. There should be something to indicate what a momentous occasion it is, instead of just commenting casually about my Par on the 18th. However, I wish they had put in something more exciting when you win The Masters.
It does get repetitive, especially when you're putting, but it's very well done. There's a ton of commentary both from Nantz as well as his co-commentator David Feherty. It's great to have Nantz in the game, because his voice is iconic to the sport of golf. Included with the Masters packaging comes a new commentator, Jim Nantz.
As a simulation these extra modes are good additions, though because they all take place on Augusta National, the one golf course that the Masters is played on, they can get tedious if you want to play all of them. There's also a mode where you play as Tiger Woods through his four Masters Tournament wins, having to match or beat his scores for each round. You can recreate nine different "Masters Moments" based on iconic shots from previous tournaments. Outside of the career mode are even more Masters themed elements.
