How does a game see the light of day, in this day and age, from such a major studio, with such a huge fundamental flaw. TWO, in fact! This year's Tiger offering screams its shiny little face off over the sparkling new features implimented in the 2008 carnation of the game; most notably the photo game face innovation (I use the term innovation tentatively, as I would suggest that a feature needs to actually work for it to be considered innovative). This particular little gem took me about 3 or 4 days to get working, as the EASportsWorld website often decided to lock users out as it could not handle the server load. Then when it did work the interface would stall and give you no specific thumbs up to tell you that all went well. I had to load up Tiger 08 and take a pot-shot at creating my own, life-like self to discover that my irritating little mug had found its way online. Don't you dare try and upload a profile shot, though! Such practice is would be foolish on a finely polished release such as this... !
Anyway, the next big issue (and by big I mean "oh my god I can't even play the game properly"-big). In the Tiger Challenge, arguably the central game mode, the game crashes. And not just in selective instances; this has been reported by just about everyone who's gotten far enough into the game to witness this collosal eff-up. This. Shouldn't. Happen. It's not like this is some shareware piece of crap on Downloads.com, this is something we're all paying out over the odds for.
If a patch isn't released quick-sharpish to cure this horrid little disease then I think action should be taken by the law-folk. A hasty imprisonment, I believe. And all the sodomy a programmer can tolerate. Either that, or, we should all be entitled to a full refund of that hard-earned money we're given that crooked Mr. Woods.
