EA Calls Foul Play on Tiger Woods Nudity "Glitch"

[Azuaron]

According to The Sun, 26-year-old Jo Eley "spent ages" creating an in-game avatar in Tiger Woods PGA Tour 11, which she enjoys playing with her partner. She apparently took a bit of time making sure the avatar looked like her, thanks to "face-mapping technology", but what she didn't know was that the character was going to hit the golf course wearing nothing but white hot pants.

And then she ran out, told The Sun, and had them print an avatar that, remember, looks just like her, and gave The Sun her real, full name.

Somebody's lying. Either The Sun is just making stuff up (which is something they do), or the woman is just making stuff up.

While I haven't actually played the game, doesn't the avatar look a little Photoshopped? I wouldn't put it past The Sun (or some random woman) to Photoshop a nude avatar into the game instead of bothering to actually hack it.

Well, she is holding a PS3 controller in one photo. Start checking for custom firmware I suppose.

You know.. Technically that picture was censored. So you could be lying.

Click the link at the end that says "The Sun" and you can see for yourself.

The Sun. Making other British tabloids look positively truthful.

Hell, can't we have ONE decent newspaper over here?

Awesome glitch is awesome...

What? Stop looking at me like that.

OT: What a weird glitch. If it is real that is.

I'd say I think this looks photoshopped, but then again, I've never played the game, so I wouldn't really know if those goods match the model.

Tits + Golf + Lesbian = ????

Photoshop. It's fucking photoshop.

You can see the correction work on the pixels of the "avatar" within the picture.

Sheesh.

While I hate the Sun...I can't help but chuckle at the name..waheystation.

...surrounding the titular athlete...

Oh, I see what you did there...

Fakity McFakePants.

This would require the collaboration of a modeller and texture artist to make the nipple-inclusive player mesh, and a programmer to actually put it into the game in an accessible manner. You can't just type a few lines of code in and then there are suddenly bare breasts.

Zing!

On-topic: I'm still not going to play a golf game. It bores me, even with a topless glitch/hack/whatever. *Yawn* Even talking about it is boring.

no nipples, what kind of geek programmer/graphical designer includes no nipples!

Hell, at least you have some decent television.

We have squat over here.

Honestly, though, it's hard to see who's lying here. EA saw the problem with Hot Coffee, so they could be covering it up by claiming no such thing exists, but then again, you'd think someone who could find that kind of hack would know that a company that owns their own code would be able to prove or at least show reasonably that such things don't exist. Personally I'm voting for human stupidity here.

Thanks for the info. If this woman did not crack the game herself, perhaps she would not know the effect of the patch? I shall follow this story and see where it leads.

I just use the BBC website if I have to, then again, not quite as convenient as a newspaper.
