  29. Design Goal • Take the analog swing system from console Tiger and make it work on the Nintendo DS.

  30. What Worked • Similar to console – Console features of Boost, Swing and Ball Spin were successfully translated to the DS touch screen • “rub” for Boost • “drag” for Swing • “rub” again for Spin

  31. What Worked • Touch Screen only – We didn't provide any alternative of using the D-Pad and buttons for the swing. We could only have done this on Nintendo DS, and game reviewers recognized this. You can play the entire game of Tiger Woods using just the touch screen.

  32. What Worked • Popular – once you work it out • Most people loved it, once they worked it all out.

  33. What Could Have Been Better • Confusing interface - “What does all this mean?!?!” • a lot of information to take in • added a Help button to compensate, but the best interfaces don’t use a Help button

  34. What Could Have Been Better • Not enough user feedback – “Why did I mess up that shot”?

  35. What Could Have Been Better • Too much, too soon? • Going from Boost Bar to Swing to Ball Spin is a lot to handle • We should have added Boost Bar after you first upgraded your boost stat

  36. What Could Have Been Better • Putting - “Tap to Putt” • We should have retained a version of our existing swing mechanic for putting, even though it was effectively cosmetic.

  37. Changes During Development • Be aware that people need time to switch focus between the two screens

  38. Changes During Development • If you’re inventing a new control system - test early, test often and be brutally honest with yourself

  39. Changes During Development • Subtle things can make a big difference – By animating the swing display, suddenly players realized that they were supposed to move their stylus along a path

  40. Changes During Development • On-screen Help Button • Not as good as a Tutorial Mode, but we were short on development time

  41. Tiger Summary • Show, don’t tell - A decent tutorial is worth a thousand words in the manual • One at a time - Introduce new elements gradually, people don’t like to be thrown in at the deep end • Follow through - We should have retained the core swing mechanic for putting, even if it was a “fake” use of the system
