That entire commercial with the little EA symbol at the end.. Or did you not click the link. They basically just said "Its not a bug, Tiger woods is that good."

Call me crazy, but if an application that I developed had some bug in it like this, the last thing I would do is make a commercial based on said bug.

Yeah, I watched it. It has nothing to do with turning bugs into features. You sound like an anti-EA fanatic.

Apparently you didn't watch it. The game is supposed to simulate golf, correct?

Now tell me, in real life what happens when your golf ball lands in the water?
Answer: A penalty stroke is taken.

In this game what happened?
Answer: Tiger golfed on the Pseudo-realistic water.

Does that sound like an accurate simulation of golf to you? No? Then my bet is that it is a bug. This commercial, produced by EA highlighted this portion with a cute clip of tiger golfing on water. That would be highlighting a bug.

Oh, but I must be an Anti-EA fanatic for even daring to suggest that EA games could possibly have any bug in them... Yeah. Does that make you an EA-zealot then?

Did I ever say it wasn't a bug? No. The fact that you assume so, and then proceed to call me an EA-zealot just further entrenches you in the depths of anti-EA-fanaticism.

Now back to what I stated. The commercial had nothing to do about turning that bug into a feature. It's a bug, everyone knows it's a bug, there's no way to deny it's a bug. EA was simply able to turn the bug into a positive by jokingly pointing out the bug as well as pointing out the supreme awesomeness that is Tiger.

You're saying EA planted the video of an alleged glitch which was actually intended for the purpose of being featured in an EA ad almost a year later?

Pretty sure it's legal to hit the ball from the water, it just doesn't make sense usually.

Secondly, the video with the bug was last year's version. So they're poking fun at themselves. Whoopideedoo.

You can totally hit from the water, though dipping your club in beforehand, as Tiger does, would probably result in a penalty for testing the condition of the hazard :p

You know what happens when you assume. You look like a dick.
