First of all I will say the online ratings don't mean anything to me, however, I do care about the game working properly. I've been playing TW2008 for quite a while and this has never happened to me before. Everytime I win an online game, my rating goes down. Ive won 4 in a row and have dropped 47 points. Any ideas of what might be going on ??

I contacted EA with this question and they replied that they only answered technical questions and this was a gaming question. Anybody have any links to EA to ask gaming questions ?

log onto EASO, click Help at bottom, scroll through to get to Ratings section

basically yours should go up if defeating an opponent - how much depends on their ranking vs yours

Thanks for the link. I know my rating should go up if I win, but mine has gone down 4 games in a row and I've won all 4.

Dawg8: You can download any of the 2007 custom courses just like you download the 08 custom courses. Just be sure to use your TW08 caddie so that the course will load into TW2008.

winrar is compression software, it does not install course/library files

sounds like you mean one of the 2 modded installers from 07, jiggered to work in 08

What im useing is...Tw08_CLSetup_CU.RAR-WinRAR (evaluation Copy)
I belive i got a copy of the CLSetup08...before the code was lost.
However is birdman1952 correct...can you use the TW08 caddie to
install TW07 courses an Lib's to TW08???

winrar is compression software (like winzip is compression software), it does not install course/library files, all it does is squish everything all up so it's smaller

the software inside the compressed archive is what does the installing

twcaddie doesn't care what year the course or library is - it installs into the 08 game

same way Course Utilities (EA software - came with game until 08) or CLSetup (designed by jorgen up to 08) works
- a different version of the software is needed for each TW version
- 06 for tw06, 07 for tw07 etc

so forget what year the course or library is - use the correct installer year for the TW verison

so yes - trwcaddie will install 07 courses into 08
btw - a lot of the libraries you already use were probably made prior to 08

playable course. It will be great to get it installed on 08...Now a problem
