    I Am Playing as the Invisible Man

    What the ^%$# Just Happened?!

    Just to paint the picture - before this happened, I was a Level 5 Golfer, having ammassed about 34,000 XP. I also had about 1200 XP in the bank waiting to be used. My power was rated 90, and everything else was rated upper 70s or low 80s.

    OK, here's what happened...

    I'd just finished trying to win a Long Drive GamerNet Challenge. Had been using True Aim, but realized that in order to win the challenge I would, due to my lack of skills on True Aim, would need to switch to the classic method of playing. Did that. While I was out there, I went in to make add some skill points to my power boost. Made the changes, and was prompted to overwrite my golfer, which I did.

    Suddenly, I was gone. All my skill points were gone. I was level 0 at everything. So I then exited out of TW, rebooted and the loaded my golfer, only now it was 'Player 1' instead of the name I used when I play offline tour.

    Upon loading this new Player 1, I had no XP ammassed or in the bank, and I was back to a Level 0 golfer. However, my ratings were all in the 90s. Ranging from 96 (power) to 90 (putting).

    Furthermore, when I went to update this Player 1 and used the game face I'd uploaded to EA Sports, I now am left with a faceless, bodyless mass of clothes. Essentially, I am one hell of a golfer without a body.

    I'll try and some pictures to share, but has anyone had this happen to them??

    I haven't, but its things like this why I have always backed up my player regularly. I have two MUs on my XBox, and the HD seems to have some segment that is kept separate also.

    If you're on PS3 I guess it would have to be on a flash card or USB drive.

    Sounds like a real bad thing, sorry it happened.

    I basically always figure software, whatever the game or program, or hardware, is going to screw up somewhere along the line, and am a 'backup freak' for those reasons.

    I hope you can work it out. I suspect sadly that you are 'sunk' and will just have to start over.

      Yep. I've learned the hard way. Ugh.

      The most bizarre thing is this new 'Player 1' that is on my game now. It's almost as if I downloaded someone else's ratings. All 90s. I can't get a face to appear in it, whether it's with the Photo Game Face or a Standard Face.

      So I can use the Invisible Man-HoF Rated Golfer or...I can start over.

      I have to start over. Ugh.

        yup a real 'bummer' Just start backing up the new guy! I have even quit the game after finally succeeding at some really tuff challenge, just so I can back it up, then resume the game.

        Well, have 'fun' Its sort of a pita building up, but in a way sort of fun too. I just think there s/b more XP awarded.

        50,000 is a heckuva lot to earn. Now that I have done all the challenges and am at level 6, I cannot see ever getting enuf to get to 7. I cannot even use the 14K XP I have saved up. It won't let me increase anything anymore. Power and putting are about 90 or 91. Accuracy about 80, the fade and draw I don't bother with, as you cannot use it in Tru Aim it seems.

          Im interested what happened with this?

          So you're seeing a bunch of clothes hovering in the air, with an invisable man golfing? And a club being held where your hands would be?

          Also now you're level, XP, are re-set, but not your skills?

          Weird.....

          Im at the same level, I hope this doesnt happen.

          I have an old MU I never use, I guess I could back up on that...

          I had it for Elder Scrolls: Oblivion. I would back up my guy on that since so much time went into it.

            Not exactly. No club. No face. No arms. Just clothes and hair. See for yourself...

            My skills reset, too, but instead of going back to 10, they all reset to a mugh higher levels than what I had. So whereas I had a 90 in power and upper 70s, low 80s in my other skills, I know have low to mid 90s in every skill. It's as if I downloaded someone else's golfer, but can't change his face, appearance, etc.

                Didn't even think about it. Any chance they'd do anything??

                  Perhaps for patching purposes... It wouldnt hurt to let them know...

                  But most likely it wont amount to anything, lol.

                    If you guys prefer, I can forward this thread to the TW Dev Team and have them take a look at this issue. Is this for 360 or PS3?
