Brilliant EA, absolutely hilarious!

You work in games, right? They'll have surfaces applied to all of the water which allows the ball to go through and then cause the relevant penalties, but if there's one spot of water in the whole game that has the wrong surface type applied, say a 'bunker' surface for example, then it'd be incredibly hard for the QA guys to find, but when it's out in the big wide world with millions of people 'testing' it, then this sort of stuff will crop up, all games have a couple of bugs it's practically unavoidable.

The only thing that is a bit suspicious is that Tiger Woods is meant to be injured at the moment. When did he film this? Is this actually a clever piece of viral marketing, including the original guy who posted the "glitch"?

EDIT: Scratch that, as the original vid was from August 2007. They've had a year to think up this response.

A whole topic full of praise for EA.

Quick, someone contact EA! They might be so amazed they'll send us all free games.

Amazing. :lol:

There was a similar one from Samsung taking the piss out of that thing where people feel the need to record themselves removing their new tech from its packaging.
