I agree, I don't really care about who's on the cover as well but for a certain segment of consumers EA might have a problem with Tiger.
Case in point, I was talking to my 10 year old nephew the other day and asked him what he wanted for his Bday in January and he's a sports nut and gamer and asked him if he wanted TW10. His response "What? Cheetah Woods 10, no thanx." Kind of suprised me.
If TW11 takes any noticeable dip in sales then it's a good chance that Tiger may be dropped for next year unless his image goes 180 and at this point in how he has become a running joke for everybody that's gonna be difficult.
It's not that Tiger is the 1st guy to screw around but the way he got caught, the hush money, the possible plastic surgery to repair his face and the press coverage is 10 times worse than for anyone I can remember, except for Bill Clinton and considering he was the Prez at the time that's saying alot, the forgive and forget scenario is becoming more and more unlikely by the day.
It will be hard to see him on TV playing golf and not think about all the stuff that's happened and anytime he walks by an attractive women in the gallery and what's going thru his mind.
