Hi Everyone,

I recently purchased a downloaded version of TW 08 from TigerDirect.com and both the download and installation went well until I started the game, at which point I received the following error message: "EA link is not installed and is required to play your game. Please re install EA link." After I entered the product code during the re installation, the connection to the EA link said the URL connection was not found, which I take to mean that since EA no longer sells TW 08, they have discontinued the registration link for any downloaded version! I'm even wondering if the same goes for a DVD copy of the game since you still have to submit the code when you install the game. To me, this is all about forcing the customer to buy a more recent version of the series, which I refuse to do since I'm not at all impressed with the computer version of Masters 2011.

Is there any way out of my dilemma or am I reading the situation wrongly? I love TW 08 and hope I can get back into it. Thanks for any help.

When you buy the DVD version, the registration code will be on the back of the Manual.
So with the DVD version there is no online connection with EA sports.

Gunpowder,

Thanks for your efforts to help me. I appreciate your replies much. I guess I'll have to find a DVD somewhere. The online prices tend to be exorbitant and there's no guarantee, I found out, that the former owner saved the manual!
