Where once Tiger Woods stood proudly on the cover of EA's Tiger Woods PGA Tour series, he is now facing away – if that actually is him - his body the size of the EA Sports logo and paling in comparison to the green “Masters” font and the cautionary yellow flag of the Masters golf course. I'm surprised that the word “Tiger Woods” along the bottom of the box isn't made invisible. Such is the fate of a once dignified icon of a dignified sport who has fallen to the woes of male fantasy “sex addiction”. Thankfully, though, the video game franchise does not follow in his footsteps.

There are no thoughtful ads in Video Games, EA. Leave them be.
I think the only type of games that can gets away with it would be sport games, having those sponsors ads on the side like on real life.
But don't put freaking Doritos ads in Star Wars or something, it breaks the immersion. If it is a pop-up ads, then big no.
One of my favorite series is the THPS franchise, and it was packed with ads, but it didn't bother me. Posters for skateboard companies, JEEP, and Nokia phones. It did sort of fit in with the game world, but that was the past, these days ad would be intentionally intrusive or unskippable loading screen type of imagery. Ugh, I know EA would do it in a horrible fashion. Screw them.
EA senior staff has been investigated for sexual misconduct involving female coworkers, and these said people have been named publicly.
Aye just call Phil, i mean he somehow made Bobby Kotick's scandal disappear and gave him a few million dollar high five on the way out.
EA about to go down like Activision and then Phil saves the day saying.this is good for the industry and consolidation will help create competition. /s.
What's up with all these horny creeps. You gon be horny, fine. Just not at work take care of that shit before you go in. Rub one out if you have to. Don't be a creep at all. ESPECIALLY at work. But don't be one AT ALL.
"it seems that according to EA, given the events transpired outside of work between two adults, and the fact that once investigation has started that the alleged perpetrators didn’t do it again, the investigation is considered closed. [...] The victim still has to work with the people that harassed her."
Yep, EA is disgusting.
EA has announced it will engage in a shareholder-pleasing share buyback program just a couple of months after mass layoffs at the studio.
No mini-game where his ex-wife beats the crap out of him? How'd it get such a good grade?
If only this were a game where you played as Tiger, "going through" all his mistresses. Talk about sales!
Tiger's shaft and all those ho' in ones.
And predictably, all comments are about his cheating debacle. This is what happens, Tiger!
