Now we have to fix it.
When playing match play i noticed that after the computer pro hits the transition to my custom golfer is instant. After i hit there comes the delay.
I removed my custom golfer and played a round of stroke play as Jim Furyk and again as Tiger and guess what? No lag betwween shots and holes...I have further tested and created a new custom golfer and left him bone stock and he plays without and hangups. I havent gone as far as determining what custom changes made to the golfer, equipment clothes etc are causimg the glitch but it definately has something to do with the customization of your golfer.
So those who say they have no lag probably havent created a custom golfer and are playing as one iof the [pros. In any event, Ill play as one of them until EA patches it. |

This is interesting. Ill watch this space.
Until now, I had another theory to the lags Im getting....
My lags/delays were always after the final put on each hole.
I put it down to the fact that each hole is updated confidence-wise. Does that make any sense?? You know what I mean - the confidence factor for each hole which is continuously updated each hole, every hole and every course...... |

| I dont know if its the first custom golfer that causes this. i created another custom golfer and left him stock and no lag. I gradualy began to change hair, clothes, some equipment and its still working. For giggles i went back to my original custom golfer just to see what would happen and the lagging started . So, Ill keep tweaking my guy to see if 1 particular customization makes him lag and post it when and if it causes an issue. Ill then remove that customization to see if it goes back to normal. |

| You will find that no custom golfers will lag until you start to progress them in the game. If you start with a stock created golfer and begin the tiger challenge it will start to lag at the Chris DiMarco game and be in full flight lag by Camillo. |

| To solve that problem you can go to C:\Documents and Settings\your name\My Documents\Tiger Woods PGA Tour 08\Career\Players\players name\Confidence and delete (or save someplace else in case EA Sports admits theres an issue and resolves it) the HoleType.tcn file. The file will be regenerated when you play again but when the file is smaller in size theres no problem. I notice that the problem occurs the larger that file gets. The default is 122k and mine is over 5128k. So you may have to delete it when it starts to increase in size again. Maybe someone can find out where this file is generated in the game and do something with it there but this will work for now. |

Stephanie,
Thanks for the tip to delete the HoleType.tcn file. My version of this file for my golfer was almost 4MB and upon renaming the file to HoleType.tcn.old and playing another game the system immediately rebuilt this file at 113KB and the lag problem is gone. Until EA fixes this obvious bug, your workaround will allow me to play the game quickly which I like.
Regards. |

| The file holds the data for the new Confidence feature. I think you will see the confidence meter updating during the lag. It sounds like we customers are not all that thrilled with this new feature, especially with the lag it causes. When you delete the file, all of your confidence calculations will go away. So its not going to help to select those confidence training sessions that pop up at the bottom of the screen as those will just fill up the data file and make the lag worse. |

| I would think it has to do with that confidence meter you can display or turn off in the game options. Also the information that it collects when you play those practice holes that come up once in awhile that show the graphs on how youve done on that particular hole the last 4 times youve played it etc. If you find that information important you may want to save the original file so you can replace it it EA Sports decides to solve the issue. I dont use the confidence meter and dont really care about those graphs with the information either. |

| If i never used the confidence meter, why is it still gathering info and bloating that file? |

I dont think you are doing anything by choice, other than playing the game.
The confidence bizz is updated, shot by shot, course by course, hole by hole. If you look in the confidence logo, and select best or worse, a graphic replay of how you played the hole is recreated.
The longer you play the game, the more holes you play, the bigger that file is going to get. To my mind, its quite a novel idea to have introduced - in practise, its going to slow the game down day by day, and grab bits of your hard disc each day....... |

| Don B. at TWC came up with an even better solution for this issue this morning. Instead of having to delete the file occasionally you can just make the file a read only file by right clicking on it and going to properties and checking the read only box at the bottom. This way it wont be updating constantly and increasing in size slowing down the gameplay. |

Oh my, I thought it was my video card, and even turned down all the settings. It makes sense the files do get bigger. There should be a warning posted for all users on this, it will wreck the game unless it is fixed.
Everyone has to remove those files. I just uploaded custom golfers to this site also they will have to be fixed by removing the confidence folder. I could not figure out why some of the files were bigger, and it was cause of what was written above about the Tiger Challenge and Growing Confidence file.

| Does the confidence rating effect gameplay? Does taking the confidence training increase skill levels any? Or is this whole thing just window dressing? |

| ... if you change the properties of the file to Read Only, the game will not be able to write to it - hence solving the need to delete the file again in the future ... supposedly this will also stop the Confidence, for holes played in the Tiger challenge, from increasing ....... |
