Tiger Woods 08 locks my 2.8Ghz iMac

Written by DE from Lake in the Hills

Oct 16, 2007

Every time I hit the play icon it kills the Mac - to the point I need to reach around back and it the power button. I'm using a brand new 24" 2.8Ghz EXTREAM iMac with 2GB of RAM. Contacted EA Sports, they asked for system profiler info, sent that - but what will that tell them? They're sending me a new disc so I can return an unopened copy to Apple Schaumburg. This stinks - I was looking forward to playing.

Be aware --USB Speakers cause distorted sound

Written by RK from Eagle

Oct 16, 2007

I use a tucked-away Macbook Pro with Bose (USB) speakers and a HD Cinema display. Bad idea. EA now writes: "Currently we do not test our Mac titles with USB speaker systems. We have encountered issues with USB speakers and our games having distorted or crackling sounds. We recommend using the default speaker layout for your Mac when playing Electronic Arts titles" Does not work for my set-up... Other than that (for me fatal) flaw, the game looks fine.

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.

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!!!!!

Keep Hands OFF!

Written by AE from HAMBURG

Mar 3, 2008

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.

Freezes constantly

Written by JS from Carrboro

Jan 8, 2009

The game freezes without fail after 5-10 minutes and the only way regain the use of my MacBook Pro is to hold down the power button until it switches off. Electronic Arts haven't offered any fixes for this problem in the last year, so I would have to say avoid at all costs, unfortunately. Madden NFL '08 uses the same technology, so it may suffer the same problems too.

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.

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.

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.

terrible

Written by SA from Champaign

Oct 22, 2007

I have a brand new Imac. It crashes as soon as I try to start a game. I also have a one
year old laptop, and the game does not work with its video card.

I bought this game because of a promotional email from Apple.
Apple should not promote a product which obviously does not
work.

I'm Sad

Written by CW from Milwaukee

Oct 21, 2007

I was looking forward to this on my new 24" imac and seem to be having the same lock up problems as everyone else. All I want is a little winter golf. I'm not a big game player so it will be a long time before I would buy another. Apple please stop selling this and let EA fend for itself.

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

Written by AB from Lawrence

Aug 29, 2008

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!
