Title: EA Drops Tiger Post by: Izret101 on October 29, 2013, 11:10:01 AM EDIT
News article i forgot to link to: http://www.trueachievements.com/n15209/ea-drops-tiger-woods-partnership.htm /EDIT Article last year where i guess this was going to happen: http://www.trueachievements.com/n11649/tiger-woods-14-historic-edition-announced.htm?anchor=3022553#m3022553 Posted on 06 December 12 at 21:48, Edited on 06 December 12 at 21:49 by izret102 Quote Maybe they are trying to distance themselves from Tiger? 2006 Woods signs a new six-year contract with EA Sports - the company behind his video game series. Maybe the next golf game from EA will be Masters 2015 with no Tiger references. I should clarify. If they were still going to really be pushing the series as Tiger Woods wouldn't he be on top of the art instead of "included" with what seems to be a new series ;) Title: Re: EA Drops Tiger Post by: JerryGreenwood on October 29, 2013, 12:31:37 PM Lol, Bubba Watson is on the cover? I got his autograph at a tournament. Very nice guy.
I guess they assume Tiger is finished. It IS possible that he'll never win another major, but I find it odd that they dropped him now, rather than during his scandals. Title: Re: EA Drops Tiger Post by: Izret101 on October 29, 2013, 12:55:51 PM Oops only linked through to the thread from last year where i said it was going to happen.
Added link to new story. Title: Re: EA Drops Tiger Post by: JerryGreenwood on October 29, 2013, 03:10:03 PM "EA and Tiger Woods came to a mutual decision to end their partnership"
Hmmm, mutual? So Tiger Woods, who loves every cent he makes, said 'Nah, that's okay, EA. Cancel that delivery of the dump truck filled with money.' I don't buy it. John Madden will be dead for 20 years and they'll still come out with Madden 2041.

Title: Re: EA Drops Tiger Post by: monkees19 on October 29, 2013, 05:43:56 PM Not for Madden, I don't think so. I agree with Dezorian. I see Madden NFL being Madden NFL until he dies. Then maybe they'll still use him but he will be the cover boy for the revived Madden's Mutant League Football where he is the head coach of the "Booms" and his QB is Brett Favre
Title: Re: EA Drops Tiger Post by: Izret101 on October 29, 2013, 10:09:48 PM ^ I want that to happen.
I would buy it every year. Title: Re: EA Drops Tiger Post by: The Metamorphosing Leon on October 29, 2013, 11:22:21 PM Was probably just the end of their contract.
Title: Re: EA Drops Tiger Post by: Cobra on October 30, 2013, 03:41:34 AM Was probably just the end of their contract. That's what I was thinking.Title: Re: EA Drops Tiger Post by: Izret101 on October 30, 2013, 07:02:15 AM After 15 years of Tiger Woods games i don't think the reason the partnership was dissolved was just because the contract was up.
There are just better players out there than him now and EA was still locked in a contract with him when he started losing (or continued to lose?) his talents on the course and getting the shit kicked out of him by the media. Title: Re: EA Drops Tiger Post by: Tynstar on October 30, 2013, 11:02:38 AM They will find another face to slap on their bland games like always have you played a Tiger Woods games in the last few years? Far from "bland". Title: Re: EA Drops Tiger Post by: JerryGreenwood on October 30, 2013, 11:57:16 AM "EA and Tiger Woods came to a mutual decision to end their partnership" Hmmm, mutual?

After 15 years of Tiger Woods games i don't think the reason the partnership was dissolved was just because the contract was up. 5 years ago it was a forgone conclusion that Tiger would break Jack Nicklaus' record for majors, thus making him the greatest golfer to ever live. He hasn't won since 2008 and it's highly questionable if he'll win 1 more, let alone 5 to break the record.There are just better players out there than him now and EA was still locked in a contract with him when he started losing (or continued to lose?) his talents on the course and getting the shit kicked out of him by the media.

Yeah, but I figure they honoured the existing contract rather than give him a payout for terminating it early.There are just better players out there than him now and EA was still locked in a contract with him when he started losing (or continued to lose?) his talents on the course and getting the shit kicked out of him by the media.

I think this is true, otherwise he would've been canned after the scandal.Title: Re: EA Drops Tiger Post by: Dergatron9000 on October 31, 2013, 11:55:57 AM Now I hope madden goes out with a bang a la david carradine... justcuz
