I don't see how EA can win this it was a parody . Also this isn't really smart on their part they are suing the creators of a show that a lot of gamers like. It was all the joke EA sucks

AS others have already said, this is a really stupid move on EA's part. Last I checked, parody (And review) are protected as free speech, and for good reason.
If anything, the episode will increase the game's audience! I didn't even know they were still pumping out Tiger Woods games. EA should be downright flattered.

...soon after the airing of the episode the top beef were called in
When did overpaid game-dev nerds start getting the title of "top beef"? That's akin to calling the Taco Bell Chihuahua; "Big Dog". :P
Those geeks haven't a clue. All that money, and probably still living in their parents' basement.
It was a funny parody. 'Lighten up, Francis.'

free speech takes a backseat to perceived revenue. i think.

EA is the joke here. And to tnt1125, the truth hurts EA. EA should open the videogame with Tiger's apology. Would be funny.

Dear AE,
It's called satire.
You can't sue over that.
Good luck.

The funniest part of this article, to me, is the number of people who didn't read the update. >_>

Hahaha. I wish that they would and fall on their collective faces. South Park seems unstoppable. If Isaac Hayes quitting and then passing away didn't stop them, what makes EA think they have a chance?

I feel a "Cheat" coming on?
EA should put that in the game - it certainly would help sales.
LOL
