The game is due out March 30th but as CVG explains those who place their order early will have exclusive content in abundance on offer which allows player to play as other sports stars from around the globe as well as Barclays Premiership footballers. One DLC pack features playable characters including boxer Sugar Ray Leonard, Basketball star Dwight Howard, American football’s Marshall Faulk and Ice Hockey legend Jeremy Roenick.

The other pack will feature Premier League superstars including Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech, Arsenal’s young speedster Theo Walcott, Manchester City’s work horse James Milner and Manchester United front man Wayne Rooney. The pre-order DLC comes as part of a series of exclusive deals that Blockbuster will continue to offer throughout the year. The retailer’s head of games, James Morton said they ‘are delighted to be able to reveal the pre-order extras that will be available with Tiger Woods PGA Tour’ through their continued relationship with EA.

Blockbuster has had a tough time over the last couple of years with stores being closed down and going into bankruptcy in the US, as their movie rental service was the main focus and is now being offered on so many other platforms. They will be hoping their new found games focus may just change things around, and if this latest offer is anything they’re certainly on course to do so.

EA Sports quite often mix things up in its sports titles, a few years back we saw putting overhauled, now every shot you play with a driver, wood, iron or wedge will be determined by a how well you come to terms with a new swing system. We don’t have full details, however we are told that it is very much like before, however now lots more factors are taken into account – such as swing tempo, stance and ball position. We have embedded a video at the bottom of this post which shows the new swing mechanic in more detail.

Other things we can tell you about this game include the fact that it will support Kinect motion sensing and voice control, also there will be 22 licensed PGA professionals to play as and Online Country Clubs. Sadly at the moment we don’t yet know a great deal about exactly what Kinect controls will be like – hopefully it will be accurate enough to be seen as a decent alternative to a standard controller, we will have to wait and see.

The next few weeks should see more Tiger Woods PGA Tour 13 details emerge before the game’s released in late March, as and when we hear more regarding new features and improvements when compared to last year’s game we will keep you posted.

What needs to change to convince you to buy Tiger Woods PGA Tour 13? Does the new swing mechanic put you off? Watch the video below and then leave us an opinionated comment.
