Don't waste your money

Written by BH from Millburn

Nov 4, 2008

I play or at least try to play the game. it constantly freezes up and have to keep restarting computer. It's a known problem with EA Sports and no fix or patch coming out soon. Again, don't waste your money. If the game worked it would b great.

Zero Stars! Won't Even Start! Don't Waste Your Time or Money!

Written by AB from Lawrence

Brand New Mac Pro with Dual Quad-Core Processors. CHECK!
NVIDIA 880 GT Video Card with 512 MB. CHECK!
Spent $40 on this game based on the fact that I had the hardware requirements covered (at least twice over!) CHECK!

I get a message stating that my video card is unsupported and may cause some anomalies. Then it closes!!!!

It's pretty sad that Apple, a company that exerts such control over everything that has anything to do with its products, allows mainstream developers to put out products that are so shoddy. Even worse, Apple touts these programs on it's own Apple Store!

Now I'm out $40, EA stopped caring about this program at the end of 2007, and I'm stuck once again having to buy PC versions of the games I'd like to play on my Mac.

Stay Away from This Game!

The Mac store Lied! The Game is BAD

Written by KR from Pittsburgh

Jul 4, 2008

I do not buy many Pc games due to the control set-up. I rather have a controller in hand then a lame mouse. So when I went to the near by Mac store and spent an hour talking to two people about which games used what controllers I walked out feeling that I finally got it right. Only to get home and find the controller does not work like they had said. The only reason I got the game was because I was told the controller would work with it. Tiger Woods 2008 for the PC likes like nothing like the Ps3 or X-box games, in fact the PS2 looks better than Pc 2008. I only give it one star, not because of the controller problem but also for the fact that the game is no where near what it should have been.

Warning!!!

Written by RS from Middletown

Mar 31, 2008

I find it amazing that EA and Apple would let a product out that is this BAD... These games are not free(over $40) and then we get no support... EA has only one guy working on Mac's and Apple says contact the vendor... I hope this issue that MOST people are complaining about will get addressed soon... I have a MacPro 2.66 with a RadeonX1900 (512 VRAM) and 2GB RAM and still it will not fire up(even after the patch)... my video card is not compatible??? maybe i am just crazy to expect this to work... anyone want to buy a good used game that may or may not work on your Mac??? ThanX Apple for ripping us off...

eXhaling... namaste

I Have a 3ghz 8Core MacPro with a Nvidia 8800 512MB and 16GB Memory!

The game doesn´t Start and gives me the following message:
"The game does not officially support this video card. You may experience performance problems while running the programm."

When it does not run on my little fellow...what Do you Need then??????

After the message it crashes, I haven´t seen a single screenshot. I already returned it! Waht a waste of time.

Do Not Bother To Purchase

Written by LJ from Draper

Jan 10, 2008

The game is very enjoyable when it works, but that is not often enough to make it worth the bother. I have had to reload the game 6 times in less than 2 months and lost the golfer I created.

I have spent the last month trying to get support from Electronic Arts but there is only one person that supports the Mac and he has been on vacation for the past month. I have been promised 6 times that someone would call me back to try and resolve the problem but I have never received a return call. I spoke with a person in the corp office today trying to get support and he essentially told me to quit bothering them.

I am running OS X 10.4.11 on a Mac Pro 2 x 2.66 Dual Core with 8 GM of memory.

Game Doesn't Run.....

Written by JB from Stickney

Dec 31, 2007

Game takes forever to load. Then the screen goes black and I am dumped back into the desk top. No help from EA Sports or the apple store. Very disappointed with the game. Cannot return it and the store will not exchange it. I am stuck with a game that does not work. Hopefully EA will come up with something so my money is not wasted.

No open box Returns

Written by OT

Nov 20, 2007

The only thing that Truly upsets me is that the apple store sold me a game that does not work well on my brand new mac book pro (2.2ghz) and they will not accept a return, because the box was open. this shows me that apple will not stand by the products that they sell.
game play is horrendous. I have well over the requirements for the game and still I can only have 800x600 res. better still every other swing is glitched so the ball goes off into the rough even with Tiger.
DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!!!!!

Pathetically Disappointing!!!

Written by JB from Lindale

Nov 10, 2007

Why do I have to give it ANY stars. I figure the only people giving it five stars actually work for EA and trying to recover from this pathetic game. It won't work on my new macbook and won't work on my imac. I thought Apple was on the cutting edge but obviously not. Been working too long getting the iphone ready, I guess.

TOTALLY DISAPPOINTED!!!!!!!!

Written by JB from Eugene

Oct 27, 2007

I bought this game, brought it home all excited, installed the game, created my player, selected to play the PGA season, GAME CRASHED!!!! What is really stupid is the computer I installed it on in 1 month old!!!!! It cant out-date that fast!!! would not buy the game unless you have $6000 to put into a computer. for me and my measly $1300 its not worth it.

Screen goes black on 24" iMac 7.1

Written by TM from HAMBURG

Oct 25, 2007

I simply feel a bit better to hear that everybody else have the same problem.

EA Games says on support pages that the issue is known and adressed by a system update later this month (october). I would like to see this soon.

Feezes

Written by DR from New London

Oct 25, 2007

I have a Mac Pro (2.66 dual) with 5gigs of RAM and an ATI Radeon X1900 XT.

I can play the first round of a tournament and then can no longer move onto the second or third rounds as the program feezes in the console.

EA tech support has not been much help
