So the EA servers came back up sporadically and I was able - after about an hour - to upload a couple of head shots to download and render in Tiger Woods '08. Results were slightly less than stellar but I'm fairly impressed. Hair was not transferred over at all, which is disappointing because there is a lack of hair options in-game.

My facial hair was not brought over completely, but that's OK, because I swear they saw my beard before and built it directly into the game. The most important thing is that my digital self doesn't look like he's 40 years old anymore. The eyes and brow were the most difficult to nail down doing things manually; this has now been resolved.

I'm far too lazy to take some photos right now but they will come eventually. Progress in the game is coming along well; it's important to do a few Tiger Challenges first and then tackle the tournaments. Because the tournaments are so tough when you are first starting out, it's difficult to build up enough cash to buy some good equipment, which is where the Challenges come into play. These are do-able and net some good rewards. Buy better equipment then try to place in the top ten of a weekend tournament.

I don't suspect that it's possible for me to obtain all the achievements during the first PGA season, so I'm looking forward to a bit of an extended play in attempts to obtain those precious, useless points. That is, if I don't bore of the game first.
