Tiger Woods Scandal Blamed for Declining Game Sales

EA notes a 68% year-over-year drop in sales of PGA Tour series.

[Blaze929]

right...don't blame the fact that maybe people don't want to spend $60 for a game that changed a 10 to an 11

[WLPowell]

Dating Sim DLC... It will definitely offer something no other Golf sim offers. sales should return to normal.

[dizzleK]

i was just gonna say that maybe golf gamers just dont feel the need to drop $60 on the same courses every year. i highly doubt that theres moralists filled with righteous indignation boycotting this game cuz tiger dipped his wick in some hotties. every single man would do the exact same thing if they could.

[Mmmkay]

i thought this was a beat em up game. got very disappointed and had to return it.

[hoops]

Blaze +bubbles. If i could give you more I would. Best post of the day by far!

[Solidus187-SCMilk]

They should have made it more like the tiger woods game that was in south park. that would sell.

[BattleAxe]

All they need to do is keep the same gameplay, but give us some photo realistic graphics to make it a more realistic golf experience.

2009 was the last Tiger Woods that I bought, and I won't buy another until I see some upgrades.

[clonerz]

add to that $10.00 per course that should be in the game bring back tiger vision for the novice gamer that might help i dunno why they took it away.to be honest the game has not changed enough to warrant purchase year to year in awhile

[Yi-Long]

... that and them seling courses as DLC that normally should have been just in the game from the get-go.

I love golfing games and I don't give a fuck about Tiger's personal issues, but I'm not buying any game where the developers are trying to DLC-scam me!

I'll stick to Everybody's Golf on my PSP.

Tiger Woods 2004 was the best one I've played. Me and my mates spent hours playing that game.

[Shoko]

Madden and NBA games to drop that much in sales year by year. This drop is bigger than them all, so yes, what Tiger did obviously has an impact on this. Some people simply don't want to support him in any shape form or fashion anymore.

[peyote]

Rubbish, gamers don't care less. You could put Hitler on the cover and if the game was excellent it would still sell. Sales didn't impact at all at the time the problems arose anyway. Issue is that the game is almost exactly the same as years previous. The only reason sales maintained last year is because it came out with motion plus support. I have 10, can't see any reason to buy 11.

[Hellsvacancy]

My pot dealer ripped me off 2-day, wasnt very nice weed at all (not like he promised on the phone) its all Tiger Woods fault, i blame that mofo, every-1-else seems 2

[yippiechicken]

Did he sleep with your pot dealer too?

[Mmmkay]

[Basil-Rathboner]

Nike wants to drop their endorsement.
Apparently Tiger's balls go everywhere.

[Auron]

blame tiger..... not your lousey games and DLC already on the disc that you charge for.

[Ray186]

Hilarious

[danfry]

How about updating the damn graphics engine to start with, its looked the same for the last 10 years. I was expecting so much from future releases of this game, but it never got any better.

That's why I haven't bought it. Although I may get the Move version if it comes out. Maybe that's why; everyone is waiting for the Move version?

[Sheikh Yerbouti]

Personally, I'm waiting for Move.

[peyote]

same.

[earbus]

Imo wii and ps2 drag this game down its like they gimp it for 360 and ps3 the same graphics for five years you could forgive it twice mabey three times make a new leaderboard or something.

[tunaks1]

lol
would anoyne actually play this using regular controls? Using a gamepad for this is too lame.

[BattleAxe]

Its the best way to play so far.

[Dsnyder]

Santa stops at 3 hos.

[A LIVING LEGEND]

Tiger was/is a phenom in the golf.....which is itself a phenom in the the hearts and minds of country club sycophants.
It is somewhat legitimate without woods.It is somewhat legitimate with Woods.Sales and golf.....fickle yet mildly entertaining.

[Dazel]

folks are just sick and tired of spending £40 on another pointless 12mth update. As for Tiger, he's the man! ;op

[csreynolds]

I think it's more to do with EA churning out the same old crap time and time again. Yawn.
