Cool. One of the games I'll buy every other year and excited for this addition. Making it to Augusta is definitely a bucket list item

If you are playing this game with a custom character make sure that you choose a male or you won't be seeing it.

Looks like Billy Payne is finally doing something we can all agree with.

Nope. If he wanted to do something I would agree with, he would buy this franchise and discontinue it.

Separate licensing. Similar to certain stadiums (Soldier Field) not having their name on Madden.

Licensing restrictions and Billy Payne asshole-ism.

This is all really just a way for Payne to make nice with Tiger after ripping him a new one before last year's Masters.

Awesome news...this is the year I was due to buy it again anyways, so this pretty much seals the deal.

I initially thought this was the BBS Board game Trade Wars from the title... that used to be a fun game. Hard to figure out how Augusta would be in there unless they named one of the planets or something after them.

Tiger won't even be on the cover this year :lol: The cover will a flag from Augusta.


Is it still cool to not like Tiger? I'm still firmly on the bandwagon

Why do you assume the black guy on the cover is Tiger? Racist.


Very excited about this game. This and MLB The Show will be my next two purchases

It's definitely a bit of a story in terms of EA clearly thinking that featuring Tiger alone is still bad for business. I'd imagine after he wins a major and two to three other tournaments this year, he'll back back on for 2013

I went on the EA site last night and was looking at some screen shots
and video of the game. I haven't picked up a Tiger Woods game since
the Wii first came out, but I'll be getting this one for sure. A lot of it
looks pretty accurate and realistic from what I remember of Augusta.
Should be a really fun game.

*sigh*

As IMU17 has pointed out, this is more of a Augusta National-controlled game release than EA removing Tiger from the cover.

A collectors edition for a game that comes out every year? Pathetic. Not surprising Coming from a franchise that sells courses that used to be in old games as DLC. Now if the collectors edition gave you every future DLC course for free, that would be cool.

Yeah, that's my point, a game that comes every year doesn't need a collector's edition (not that anything really needs one anyway).

Yeah the jokes on what Tiger "collects" might be worth a special edition.

Madden had one? There was no outrage for that. I think Collector's Editions are completely fine in this situation. For Madden, it was 20th anniversary. For TW PGA Tour, it is the introduction of the Masters...which is a 'thing' in golf.


I actually had the Ray Lewis collector edition Madden for the PS2. I don't remember any special features beyond them having two older like Genesis versions of Madden that you could play on there.

My Ray Lewis collectors edition came with a limited edition knife.

I don't expect there to be an outrage, as a consumer I just think it's lame, especially in light of EA's stupid "online pass." A game like Gran Turismo that comes out once every 10 years, now that's special.

I like the online pass, actually. It is optional. You can buy it used and then pay the $15 for online access, or you buy it new and you don't need to worry about it. Seems fair. Buying a used game gives you access to the software...the online servers are owned by EA...you did not buy access to the online servers when you paid someone else for your copy of an EA Sports game.

No one is forced to buy a Collector's Edition, either. I sure won't be.

Why do you like paying for something you used to get for free?

Well, maybe not if you look at the pure value of what it took to make the items, but almost every collector's edition was well worth the cost to me...
