360 News | Tiger Woods PGA Tour 08

Oct 30, 2007 EA has uploaded the first download content for Tiger Woods PGA Tour 08 in the form of one new course - the Doral Golf Course. For 400 Microsoft points (that's $5.00 or £3.40 in real money) you get 18 holes on one of the toughest courses in the world, for you to master. That's a bit steep, but let's hope they don't go the way of Guitar Hero II (500 MS Points for three lousy songs) and start charging a fiver for a new FIFA stadium. Courtesy of ... » Read More

Tiger Woods 08: Freeze Bug Discovered; Patch Coming

360 News from N4G | Tiger Woods PGA Tour 08

360 - Tiger Woods PGA Tour 08 - Tiger Woods 08: Freeze Bug Discovered; Patch Coming

As Andy noted in his review of Tiger Woods PGA Tour 08, there's a lock-up bug in the Henrietta Brockway event in the Tiger Challenge. The loading screen between the second and third holes freezes up, forcing gamers to reboot their Xbox 360.

We contacted EA, which confirmed the existence of the bug and the company provided a workaround: Hold down the A button while launching the game from the dashboard. [Ed. note: Since this story was first posted, we tried this method out, which enabled us to get past the freeze-up spot and complete the event.]

A fix to this bug is addressed in a patch that has already been sent to Microsoft for certification, which means it should be available soon.
