EA Sports Next-Gen Golf Game Will Not Feature Tiger Woods at All

[Steve_OS]

Yesterday, EA Sports and Tiger Woods mutually decided to part ways and end their 15 year partnership. The golf game will get a new name in 2015 when it releases for next-gen gaming systems.

Today, courtesy of ESPN Sports Business Reporter Darren Rovell, the end of the partnership also means Tiger will not make an appearance in the game at all.

Is this a big deal for you? Will you purchase a golf game that doesn't have Tiger Woods on the roster?

This doesn't bother me at all, as I never use any of the included golfers anyways. I always use my created golfer in every aspect -

I am assuming they will still have the ability to use his name(text only) during the tour for leader-boards and Fed Ex standings?

While I don't think that not having his name on the game is a big deal, not having him in the game at all kind of sucks. That said, I never used him, so my experience won't change.

wtf why to only bring him pack in a later version of the game??

To be honest this is making the game borderline unplayable to the fringe fans not that it matter I guess.

This is because Tiger is working with other companies for a golf game.

Also, i wish all sports games would go to 2 year cycle.

Some might see this as an issue, but with GameFace you could always make him.
