Or maybe not that many people really care about his social life, already own Tiger Woods 10, and have no incentive to buy the same game.
I'm sure there are plenty in both boats.

when i got my 360 back in the day i love playin tiger woods 08 i think it was?
then i got my ps3 and played hot shots all the times.
as much as i loved playing them, golf does get a little stale after awhile, theres not much new you can do.
a course creator would be nice. making them as crazy or normal as you want.

To be perfectly honest, the reason I didn't bother buying it this year is because I don't like the thought of giving Tiger any of my money. I know its silly, but the scandal has totally turned me off from him.
Why would they release a new game every year? I just want new golfers, courses, etc. And that can be done with DLC
There's only so much improvement you can put to a golf game, and now Tiger Woods golf is just rehashed from the year before.
I'm skipping this year's game, but will probably be back for it next year.
His personal life shouldn't have anything to do with anything as Tiger Woods golf has consistently been an entertaining product in years past.

@Eddie; Does the Wii support DLC? I don't have one so I'm not sure.
I think partially it's due to the scandal, but it's been a fairly good year for all consoles around and I do wonder if that affected sales of "unnecessary" titles such as your Barely-Updated-From-Last-Year sports games.

I dunno about that. Last Tiger Woods game I bought was 07. I don't buy the new ones because there isn't much new or different or better in them as far as I can tell... 07 works just fine for me. It has nothing to do with the fact that Tiger bangs a lot of skeezy chicks.
You don't need a new Tiger every year, I bought 06 & 10, and I'm probably good for the rest of this gen.
I think that's pretty sad if the poor sales are primarily due to the scandal. Who cares what this guy does with his personal life? He was never a mascot for morality; he's a golf pro. Maybe people are just bored with iterative golf titles. I really doubt the game would have sold better with anyone else on the cover.
This one really just slipped under my radar. But really hasnt been a big reason for it to be there. I got 2010 for WiiMotion Plus and really havnt played that much. Really needs some hook more than just a revamp to make it worth while.
Not sure how bad the scandal will effect sales but even if it is just a fraction that is not good. Though we are not the best test market we would buy the game if is good and most could care less here on the headliner if it was a substantially better game the public may not be as forgiving everyone has heard this and it kills tigers appeal a little.

lol people caring about other peoples lives. Don't be jealous because you aren't rich and can't have multiple partners. And no, I'm not defending Tiger, I just think it's more pathetic to care about someone else's personal life than anything he actually did.
That's surprising. Tiger Woods 11 was the first game in the series I have purchased since 2007. I figured more people would want it.
Didn't they put Rory McIlroy on the cover alongside him? That guy is hardly the sexiest cover star. Now John Daly Golf, I'd fucking play that.
Can we please stop drawing imaginary lines between Tiger's marital life and game sales? There's no definitive correlation.
I love video golf, always have. My friends and I have been playing Tiger Woods PGA Tour since its inception. I've clocked hundreds of hours into these games.
That said, I could care less about 11. I haven't even finished 10 yet. And they keep shutting down the servers! How bloody annoying! They just stop out of nowhere and then you can't get the tournament achievements and the like... it's maddening, and enough to make me consider John Daly's new game.
That said, I'll probably pick this game up when it's down to $20 or so.

Oh, also, I'm sick of having them rotate courses in and out every year. Every year they remove 3 courses from the last year's version and put in the 3 from the year before that. Then charge $5 a course to download them! What a total rip-off.
Maybe EA should reconsider its business practices of shutting down servers and charging premiums for courses they made years ago and put less emphasis on Tiger's hot mistresses.
Also, if anyone thinks pro athletes don't cheat on their wives ALL THE TIME they're complete delusional. When they're not cheating on their wives they're juicing, shooting each other, fighting dogs, or doing other things you don't want your children doing. Don't fool yourself.

It's hard to make golf a yearly buy, I think they had the formula basically perfected with TW'10 so this was a pass for me. I agree with earlier comments, focus on pumping some courses/characters/tournaments/challenges/etc into the games through DLC.
It's not even worth buying the games every year, I know when I pick up a Tiger Woods game it's usually 3 years apart unless I find it for 7 dollars at a yard sale. I picked up 10 new at Gamestop after hearing about Facebook connect on it and that feature never got put in so maybe they should spend less time worrying about there cover athlete being a man whore and more time adding features advertised on the box and I'll think about buying another game.
My decision not to purchase TW11 had nothing to do with Tiger and everything to do with TW10 still being a great game and not needing a new golf game.
The series is just fucking stale despite the scandal and that will effect the sales more then anything. This is just what EA needs to get off their ass and stop spoon feeding the masses a repackaged golf game year after year. It's time to innovate again.
Is it still a scandal when the whole thing was practically predetermined before he even got married to that chic? I kind of feel a little bad for the guy even though he really should have seen that coming. I hope he beat whichever one of his PR people it was who told him it would be good for his image if he got married with a golf club.
As for Tiger 11 maybe some people are holding back on their purchase until the new motion contols hit shelves? That's the case for me anyway. I would usually pick it up for the Wii, but now that I'll be able to play it with motion controls, and in HD I'll be waiting to buy it until after I get PS Move.

Could it be that users know EA is going to start charging for online access? That and the fact that they kill off the online play from last year's version too quickly. EFF EA in the Neck!
Or, alternatively, people aren't buying Tiger Woods '11 because they have less money and already own a mostly-similar game in Tiger Woods '10. But, nah, that couldn't be it. Because we'd never put up scapegoats to take the blame for something when it's clearly more of a bad economic situation at fault.
That's reporting for ya.

EA Sports just needs to consider adding a "dating" sim element to future iterations of TWPGAT. Or perhaps just sex minigames a la God of War.

Not bloody surprised to read this, now that most of the sports games like Tiger PGA is been consistently good (as far as the overall gameplay), once you have one it seems rather silly to get the newest one year after year. Plus many places that sell used games really knock the used sports games down when they are highlighting the previous year, again why buy it new when you can get last year's for 1/3 the price & not really notice too much difference.
I could care less about Tiger's personal life what turns me off more is he is still a baby on the course. His constant whineing makes him less of a great sports figure IMO. From what I remember last years Tiger was very good and if this one isn't "holy shit" better most people probably skipped it. Couple that with his personal issues and you have a potential flop when it comes to sales. People are fed up with him, I know I am.
The reason I didn't buy this year's version although I bought last year's version is not because of what happened to Tiger Woods. I didn't get it because last year's game is still a great game, and these yearly sports games don't get improved upon enough in a single year to warrant another purchase. Might I purchase the big golf game next year? Maybe, as long as they make it worth purchasing. It also doesn't help that I bought PGA 10 in early November, and it was still full price ffs.
If I was Tiger, I would have fucked even more skanky hoes. No shit. It would be carte blanche on skanky how fucking, I would have half naked caddy models, I would get blowjobs to celebrate birdies - right in the fucking bunkers. i wouldn't give a fuck.
I didn't buy this year's because I bought last year's.
I would imagine a HUGE majority of the people who bought last years on Wii, got it for Motion plus. - something they don't need now. (the pitfalls of including hardware with annual software)
I will buy next years if it looks good and is Move compatible.
I WON'T buy the year after that, or the year after that, or the year after that unless something really new is added.
But we don't make these sales figures, we, the educated gamers are a MINORITY.
the question is, why didn't Joe public buy Tiger Woods this year - I would have to say, it's a shame, but it's probably got something to do with the whole scandal thing.
Bummer.

@ SC - Damn straight! Tiger Woods actually went up in my estimations during the scandal and was sickened by the fact he had to apologise....he could of got new sponsors (Playboy?, Hooters?).
It has to be the scandal as FIFA 20xx, Madden 20xx sell by the truck load every year without fail.

That's a good point, if i was Hugh Hefner I would sponser Tiger in a heartbeat! He could have become the "bad boy of golf".
It's wierd how people still buy Fifa and Madden every year, to be honest, I think golf is too "simple" (game golf, not real golf) a game to have annual releases. At least in Fifa/Madden they make enough changes to justify it (most years) although i reckon this year's Fifa probably sold better than last years with the whole 360degree control thing.
In Tiger woods apart from Motion plus/Move/Natal support, i can't think of anything really game changing that has been added. Sure, you level up your character in a different way, but nothing SERIUOSLY game changing to the all important gameplay since the analogue stick swing from the PS2 days!

I was put off by all the micro transaction stuff in 10, they need to bring back the arcade feel of 2002/2003.
