Fantastic Game!

Written by RS from Clovis

May 16, 2008

Works great on my MacBook Pro 2.33 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo w/2 GB memory. I'm running Mac OS X Leopard 10.5.2. I was afraid to try it for a long time due to all the negative reviews. Finally the dude at the Apple store assured me that my system would work fine since I purchased it within the last year. I'm very happy I took the chance.

One of the best games ever it works perfectly on my macbook, with no bugs or anything. Before i bought the game i made sure that my system was up to date, and I had everything needed in order to run the program.
Great choice in games.

Update

Written by TG from Phoenix

Nov 13, 2007

I am running Leopard. Once I got past a small installation issue (my fault) the game installed easily.
I got the resolution set for my 24" imac and played the game.
It's a blast ! Really good graphics and gameplay.
The only trouble is you have to stop some time!

Great Game!!!

Reading through the reviews, I was not sure if I wanted to take a risk and spend money on a game that seemed to have trouble for everyone. I finally wanted the game bad enough and just took a chance. I am glad that I bought the game! I have had no problems at all with the game! I have a new 15 inch MacBook Pro with 2 GB of RAM and 200 GB hard drive.
If you want a great golf game, this is the one to buy. The only way that you can find out if this is the game you want is to try it. I took the risk and have no regrets.

GREAT GAME!!!!

I read some other reviews from the other people, and I was afraid that i wasn't going to like this game, because of all the people mentioning that it froze up their computer. Well I haven't had a single problem with the game and I love it!

Awesome game if you have the right hardware

I was very skeptical to get this game due to all of the bad reviews. I ended up getting this game off ebay for $20. It is a challenging and fun game. It is comparable to the playstation version but not as many features. I use a wireless mouse which took me awhile to get used to the "Trueswing" mode but I really enjoy playing this game. I am running it on a Macbook Pro, Leopard with 2gb ram and NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT. There are some minor glitches with the game but nothing major at all. This is THE golf game for your mac!!

This is one great game!

Not sure what all the fuss is about this game in other reviews. I have had absolutely no problems running on the latest iMac 3.06 with the NVIDIA 8800. Running at 1600x1200 without a hitch. Works great. Excellent graphics. I wish all the great windows games were ported over to the mac! Thanks to EA Sports for this title for OSX!!

EA Does it Again

Written by JW

Oct 17, 2007

EA has once again brought a new game to the table that revolutionizes how we play. The shot confidence feature brings a personal aspect to the game like never before. The FedEx Cup is great and the new twist to the Tiger Challenge has a much different feel but the concept is still the same. A must have for any fan.

Good stuff

Written by CP from Houston

This game works well with Leopard on my 15" MBP. No glitches so far. Using the mouse as the controller seems to be pretty straightforward. I would only say that the single-player mode gets old after a few weeks. After my first round of 18, I was routinely getting birdies and the occasional eagle. So, not the greatest challenge there. But the other reviews commenting on problems with Leopard/Intel have not been issues for me in the least.

Great Graphics - Good Gameplay - Some Minor Quirks

Written by AK from Brookline

Jan 31, 2008

The game has some quirks, but plays very well on my 2.4ghz iMac. Played it before and after upgrading from 1GB to 3GB ram. Quality seemed identical with both configurations. Patch addresses some, but not all issues (occasional sound issues and flashing textures). However, game has fantastic graphics and generally good gameplay.

Hey Everyone!

Written by NC

ok so i complained about this product a while ago and then i got leopard. leopard fixes all of the problems with it or at least for me and i had quite a few. i also recommend rezizing the format to a window. you can ask EA support on this topic. If you dont have leopard then their will be an update later hopefully this month. and to the guy complaining about apple and steve jobs, it wasnt their fault.... well completely. EA had not tested it well enough. apple didnt make the game so they arent responsible for testing. thought i might cue you in on that. so i am running a brand new iMac 24inch and i am playing at full resolution and on the highest graphics setting.

Now for the game itself.
It plays pretty good. its difficult at first and i still have not mastered it. the graphics are ok not as good as they should be for a 2000$ system but its fun and addicting at times. there are still some glitches in the game that should soon be resolved.

the final word on this product from me is that EA should have worked harder on the mac version but for a PC game its not bad. to bad im not running it on PC

Good product on Mac Pro Quad

Written by RS from Bartlesville

Dec 17, 2007

I read all the sour grape reviews here before buying and hesitated to buy.

I took the plunge and purchased PGA Tour 08 recently and it plays fine on my Mac Pro Quad.

I'm sympathetic to players with Intel graphics systems that are having difficulty. But it is running just fine on my Nvidia Geforce 7300 GT graphics card.

Tiger Woods Golf turns out to run just fine!

Written by RF from Lacey

Nov 28, 2007

When I purchased the new Tiger Woods 08 Golf, I had to spend a couple 15-20 minute sessions figuring out how to run the game. I figured it out after that and it turns out to be a lot of fun and a good challenge.
I bought a new IMac recently. The 2.4 mghz, extra memory ram 2 gig's. It runs like a charm. It might be the extra memory from 1 gig to 2 gig's that makes a big difference in how smoothly the game runs. Give it a chance, it turns out to be a lot of fun to play.

works well on my 24 inch iMac

Written by RC from Manhattan

Sep 17, 2008

I have played hundreds of 18 hole matches using this game. The positive is that the game works well once it is loaded up and the graphics look realistic. You have to judge distance and the wind to be able to place the ball correctly. One can eventually become good enough to be able to win most games so you get lots of positive reinforcement.
The negative is that it seems to take an incredible amount of time to get from the first load up when one starts the game to where one can begin to play. I have also used the xbox game, and it seems to load up faster. The positives out weigh the negative for me.
