Just for the hey of it did a little searching through the other BB game TWonline forums to see what they encounter...Lo and Behold does any of this sound familiar? LMAO

EA…My sincerest apologies to those of you who were having issues these
past couple of days with completing a transaction.
Try Internet Explorer just for the membership
renewing……..
unable to renew membership Please Advise if
anything can be done to resolve this
Tried several time this date (01-06-13) to
renew my membership. Have had no luck. Please advise what can be done.
Now my friends list has gone from over 100 to
less than 40. Can anyone explain what is going on? First we lose our
consecutive days making the cut and now my friend list has been reduced by over
50%. Please explain the problems.
This whole thread seems to be completely
useless, none of the ideas here have been implemented. Business as usual. You
give the community a new thread and it is ignored as usual. So why do you guys
open up threads like this if you don't even think about adding any of our
ideas?............
Please fix the disconnect problem. It is the
most annoying problem there is. Forget the interface. Fix the problem that is
killing us all and making a great game into a total disaster……
Without Forecasting Changes = No Commitment …Without Commitment = No
Accountability ….Without Accountability = T.W.O.
T.W.O. changes are best to document after the update because:
If it broke something = We didn't make a change OR That is the way it
should be
If it wasn't done = We never said we were going to do it OR That is a big
fix for the future
If it works great = See we are listening to you and T.W.O. is a viable
entity
I know I sound jaded, well, that's because I am. It makes me sad. I'm
almost at the point where I really don't care about T.W.O.'s success or
failure; my sadness would stem from another loss in the P.C. market and to
those who tried to make it a success.
I'm going to crawl back to my happy place in a bunker on the 18th………..
Hard to get excited about any update any more. Just more bugs to look forward to……….
Tim has nothing to do with the development and shortcomings of this game.
And even though some of these writers continue with their mantra "he needs
so fix it", it ain't gonna happen. So, quit asking the question or making
a statement as to why Tim isn't fixing this disaster………
yes if you expect any type of response from anyone at EA it is a total
waste of your time. It is sad it came to this. The potential of what we were
led to expect back during the Beta testing, never materialized……..
Let the speculation begin!! What are the dreamy updates and improvements
being done as we speak?!?!?!?!........
i am shooting for a fix of the unity crash bug + the usual game
improvements. but just getting some stabilization on the server would make me
smile……..
Hi to you all.
The issue I am writing about is the following. After the last update of
origin everything seemed to be alright. Unfortunately after restarting TW I
found out that I am having pretty bad performance. The system just broke down
in the middle of a round and I had to restart TW just to be able to keep on
playing.
Is there anyone else with this issue? ……
Personally , I think you EA should just leave the game alone , every time
you people at EA try to improve the game you end up screwing it up worse than
what it is now, Just leave it alone until you know you are doing something
(after testing it) that will be an improvement to this game ...............PLEASE
It's simple.. Build a crappy game, get crappy results, period.. That's
what EA has done.. Of course these are only my observations and in no way
affiliated with EA……
LOW SCORES
Would someone please explain how 5 players can score -21 and there are no
eagles or birdies on at least 12 holes that "have been" played. I just
played the Tuesday tour pro 3 click and that is what I discovered. It's amazing
to me that 5 people can shoot -21 and score no eagles or birdies ahead of me
playing the same course. I scored 2 eagles and 12 birdies for -16. Until I
scored the eagles there was no eagles or birdies scored on the eagle holes.
Please would one of the EAs enlighten me. I think the ridiculously low scores
are strong evidence of manipulating the program somehow……….
What do you consider outrageous scores? -18, -25 or -34? The scores
depend highly on the course and it's settings. And if previews are allowed or
not. I can play Wolf with gold, easy settings and score -30 without really
trying. As for help with your game, I'm not sure anything can help you. You're
either good, or you're not. Simple as that. You said that you've been playing
quite awhile. That tells me that you should already know this game inside out.
If lag is the problem, then you need better equipment. I lose a couple strokes
a round due to my old and slow computer. But I'm not going to buy a new one
just to compete with nepic, noel, etc. lol……..
The question is if you claim that this is the most realistic game on the
web, how is it possible that a person can complete the game in 18 shots and
then 18 puts!!!! I understand that they have cheats but surely these
Unrealistic scores should not be displayed as best scores!!! The only hole that
believes that is realistic is an *!!!!...........
CLUB DISTANCES, GAME PLAY & SHOTS
For many months I've had to change my style of play to accommodate what
most already know about how screwed up the distances are. Knowing full well ea
will never make things right. you can do like smurfs and talk till your blue in
the face
and things will never change……
All my opponents hits the ball further and more accurate. I am using the
best clubs available to me, but to no avail. I'm a Legend on level 90, and is a
full member. How do I aquire better equipment and when? Some of my opponents
are not nearly on my level. …………
Has anyone else noticed that when you hit the pin with a full shot (not on
a bounce or chip or pitch) that the ball ALWAYS seems to end up 20-40 feet from
the flag?...........
Used to hit the flag pole, and drop like a rock. EA changed the game to
make it harder, and yes, it happens to everyone………..
Yip has done this to me on too many occasions that its a shame to be
almost penalised for an accurate shot,in my opinion we should have been
rewarded financially(though i know thats not going to happen)when this
occurs.Double eagles are so rare now after THAT UPDATE,to hit the flag from the
fairway deserves more reward, after all its a game not real life…….
LOL, I noticed this also.
And since whoever sets Tourneys for Tour Pro and Legend seems to like
fast/hard greens pretty much all the time, I am seeing what you just posted
about how you were trying to adjust how the ball would bounce on too hard of a
green.
Well, it still does. Usually one bounce or sometimes two and you are off
the other side of the green. Really haven't noticed if you made changes so it
wouldn't bounce so much. With these fast/hard settings, it always does.I posted
in another thread about breezy winds being too extreme. Having 14 to 16mph
winds for breezy settings is a little too extreme. Would like to see you tone
this down. Breezy winds should average 5 to 10mph. And why does it effect the
ball more in breezy than in windy or even gale?
That makes no sense at all………
Why does a 5 to 10% rough penalty play like 20 to 30%? And 15 to 20%
penalty play like 40 to 50%? Sometimes even more. Yet, no changes have been
made
Something is not right about this…….
METER
I have window 7 premium and just started using Firefox, I like its speed,
but one thing I have found is when I am playing the Tiger Woods PGA Online I
get a herky/jerky motion, when I hit a shot it stops for a second and the will
travel further and stop again before landing on the green, this happens when I
am putting also, however when I use the IE 9 to play the game I get none of
this, ,has anyone expierenced this and is there a soloution?.......
Good,i hope this gets resolved! I also did all the things suggested like
clearing the cache and i uninstalled unity and then re-installed it. Started computer again! no go for me. Must be
a bigger problem!....
3 minutes to connect to game server. Lots of lag in load. 3 click jerky
all over the place. I am sure ea is aware and working, [I hope]……..
My computer was working perfectly two days ago in 1920 X 1200 W full
screen. Yesterday it went sluggish and gave me the warning you are talking
about. I had to lessen the resolution but was still jerky in the other full
modes. Only way I could play yesterday was in window mode. Then noticed the
"3-click" method was unstable. Hope you can get back to where I was
two days ago. I played nine rounds with NO glitches of any kind. LOVE the game
by the way. It's going to be a really nice game once the kinks are worked out!
IMAC G5, Snow Leopard 10.6.2, 4 gigs ram, Safari and Firefox……..
Adjusted all graphic settings to low and still have lag on redraws and
using the 3 click meter is impossible at this stage. Don't know what happened
as I have been playing most of the day off and on and just started with this
problem about forty minutes ago. Only thing changed was the amount of players
online (217). I tried IE8 and was booted off completely before I could even
start a round. Did get one error message.....game client out of sync with
server. Went to send a bug report but Firefox closed down.
Three click lag is an issue that needs to be addressed. A local install
of the three click meter to avoid over-network lag would be better. There may
end up being lag in the animation of the swing but at least it won't mess up
the timing of the users swing………
Just got done playing my first round at *. Andrews for the advanced
aiming tournament, and even played it through Origin, and the lag, and the fact
that the swing meter kept messing up, and stopping midway, then restarting
again, made for a very difficult round. Looks like EA has some work to do…..
DEMISE & MONEY GRUBBING
Yep, Wofo. Somebody definitely went and re-arranged the furniture. I
suspect a few course licenses ran out and EA did not want to renew them on
account of such a stupid thing costing money and nobody being able to make them
do it anyway... Ah, the poor dears. So ashamed about it they wouldn't even say
something, write about it in the blog or post a forum thread.
Used to be this would get me into a right old huff. Now I can shrug it
off. I wil retire soon………
The fat lady is warming up in the back ground. My only guess is that the
license agreements had expired on those courses and instead of sinking more
money in a ship that is floundering to stay afloat they are starting to bail
like mad. I'm surprised to see Pebble gone I must admit as that is one of the
mainstay courses for EA.This may be an indication it's about to abandon ship in
full force as again I assume other courses will not be renewed and they also
must be getting close to the end of their agreement.No I have no insider
knowledge this is fact but it's pretty plain to see the writing on the wall.
Key board cat play us off………
I am assuming that TWO will slowly reach an end in the near future. My
question is why? What happened? Is their blame to assign? Was the timing not
right? I have checked into a few of the other online golf games and find they
are nowhere near the variety, flexibility or value that TWO offers. If TWO
ends, so will my online golf experience unless something new comes along that
is similar……..
I feel that EA just looks at the numbers and makes a decision based on
dollar signs - no or little profit, end the project. If true then we probably
owe EA thanks for not pulling the plug long ago……..
Ok I gave it another shot still the same bs. heap error da da da da. This
game sucks. I just renewed now I am done..somebody tell me how to cancel and
forever be rid of this bs. If you dont then I will tell AMEX im not happy then
good luck gettin your money out of them…….
You came across blunt and factual. I too am blown away at the amount of
blaming EA in this forum. Like I said in an earlier post, this forum seems to
attract the EA haters and not the people having fun with TWO. It would seem
evident that the players having fun with TWO are not going to waste time coming
to forum that is filled with a few people's complaints. Besides, they are
having fun, me included.
Like xxxxxx said. Walk away from the game and find something else that is
of interest, and also be sure your computer is all updated and cleaned of junk
so it can handle the demands of whatever your game choices may be……………..
EA = Rip-off…..
P.S.- We used to have a thing called Swing Trainer, which helped your
golfer play better, but that was taken away, in favor of better equipment, and
more money in EA's pockets. It was a business decision on their part. We have
learned to live with it, and you must also………
I expect nothing will happen but I have just sent this to EA via the
help.ea.com website :-
I doubt if you can help but I wonder if you can either pass this on to
someone who can answer or give me the name and address of someone who can help.
There are currently a lot of Paying Members like myself who are wondering how
much longer the Tiger Woods Online Game will be running. There has been nothing
done to the Game in the way of updates since August 2011 and the ongoing
problems then are still present. There has been no new content added for over 3
years, Courses have been removed without any notice and any problem posted on
the Game Form or sent to Customer Services by PM is being ignored.
We think that time is running out for the Game and that it will disappear
without any warning.
Can someone from EA please have the decency to let us know what it
happening……..
DISCONNECTS
The servers were down, and everyone was in the same boat. Please pass the
Grey Poupon?.........
Are you guys having problems with disconnects this morning,or is just
me???All kind of error messages….
Yes same here, i just had to agree to another digital agreement before i
could play, 8 dissconnects on 1 round and i think the cut streaks have been
reset again! Hope i am wrong. Way to go EA……..
same here in Australia ... yep all kinds of errors ... just plain garbage
EA…….
Took about 30 minutes for me to be able to log in...lo and behold somehow
EA managed to mess things up again. Had to sign "ANOTHER" of those
silly Digital Service Agreements of EA's regarding points before it would allow
me access to the site...that wasn't so bad, was just so funny, gather all of
the agreements I had signed in the past have been lost. The bad part, which is
not so funny, is that all the points I have managed to accumulate since they
were instituted have been lost...am back to zero, zip, nada, zilch, bupkiss.
Hopefully, when these servers are reset, update all the information, my points
will reappear as magically as they disappeared. Of course, EA's little update
problems didn't end there...my cut streak is back to zero, my pending invites
has also rest to zero and god knows what other little glitches have occurred.
Lastly, still can't even play a round of golf...server error 40010000 .
I'm surprised EA has never been featured on Anderson Cooper's "Ridiculist"…..
Every time I try play it loses connection………
Just got back in off the road and was looking to have a good game of
tiger this evening! But, alas, there seems to be a problem with unity. When I
hit play now it goes to loading screen and asks me to install unity. I
uninstalled and installed and still the same.
Uninstall, clear cache, reboot PC load and install. If it doesn't work ??
Using Chrome. A friend of my told me about this game,said it was pretty
good,but then he's playing thru his IPad. After all of the Error Code 0010802's
and straight out disconnect's I'm starting to feel like I've wasted my
money……..
QUITTERS & ABUSERS
I know that what I say will fall on deaf ears here, but here i go
anyway... It sure would be nice if when a player leaves an alternate shot
match, that the specific player would be identified. Yes you know who it was
when it is your teammate, but the "an opponent has left" is vague. I
don't want to play with folks who drag up!
Although I will admit I have left games due to technical difficulties,
which were not my fault... so I've noticed that when playing a multiplayer game, ie alternate shot, if
your partner suddenly pulls out of the game I get a DNF against my stats - this
is completely unfair as I have done nothing wrong! Anyone else agree with me??
Not everyone pulls out on their own. TBMP has a lot of flaws, and
disconnections and other problems arise. It might be unfair to put that on your
record, but it does. EA doesn't support this game anymore, although on occasion
when the game goes out, they will do some repairs. As far as having that
changed, that is a part of this game, and since nothing else is being added,
nor removed from this game, you will need to live with it.
ok , joined a TBMP alt shot .... 4 strokes down after 9 ... partner drags
up. WTF??? it is only 4!!! if you can't come back from that far behind ? what
does that say about you as a person? and to just quit , awww man, ( and please
don't blame it on me, when u left me 30 foot putts) we coulda won this 1 , oh
ye of little faith. If you are gonna quit a tbmp game of any sort i would
appreciate if you don't join it to begin with.
In essence what you say is fine Dan but even if you do know the offending players name, how can you definitely determine whether he was kicked or left because of a lack of committment and disrespect for fellow players? I have a list of Quitters, Non-Speakers, Fervent Anti-green Pitchers & Personality Lackers but due to so many getting kicked now due to EA's servers nearing implosion point, determining quitters is even more difficult than before………
