EA Sports outlined initial expectations relating to the Kinect for Xbox 360 features in FIFA 13 back at E3.

Tiger Woods 13 Patch to Offer Alternate Method of Utilizing Kinect
In an update for Tiger Woods PGA Tour 13 that will arrive on Friday EA Sports will be delivering the more traditional way to swing with Kinect for Xbox 360. Tiger 13 originally chose to go with a parallel stance to the TV rather than facing it directly while swinging - which in theory was to better capture the full body in the process. The patch will allow users to swing either way on the two lower difficulty levels whether standing to the side or swinging directly towards the screen. Kotaku...
