  • Interesting idea, not the best execution though.

  • Congrats to all involved!!!

  • this video is going to win because of the special effects

  • I thought this was a viral video contest. It's looking more like a gay dating service everyday.

  • Thank you for those kind words, HAHAonyoudog!

    See ya on the 23rd, bro.

    XOXOXOXO

  • BTW, I definitely did enjoy the shot of the burger flying through the air and it was better than at least one of the entries in the Top Five.

  • HAHA, I love you, man! I really do.

    LOL... how was I proven WRONG? I believe my opinions are 100% accurate. If you believe special effects can overcome ignoring the objective/overview, you're sadly mistaken. You'll see on the 23rd.

    For a real winner, search youtube for the Tiger Woods viral video in the burger joint.

  • Okay vvt, since no amount of logic or proof can convince you that this video does follow the objective/overview, let's agree to disagree and meet here on the 23rd.

    I really hope EA posts the actual scores as I don't think this video losing alone would prove you were right as it does have good competition and I find the "Best Picture" usually never wins the Oscar.

    However, feel free to rub my face in it HARD if it loses because I'll definitely be doing the same to you if it wins.

  • somone deleted my comment? ok, whatever I forgot what I even said. Why are there +25s next to evey good comment? how many user accounts did the people that made the video create or tell all their friends and family to thumbs up everything? Can't rely purely on the content of your own video?

  • What's the title of the video that was declared the contest winner?

  • VIRALVIDTIGER!!!! YOU CAME BACK!!!!

    I missed you!!!! Aw heck, if I can't say it now, when can I say it?

    I LOVE YOU, VIRALVIDTIGER!!!!

    Why didn't you insult anyone this time around? You've changed, man. It used to be about the putdowns. Now it's just about finding out who won. Winner gets announced September 23rd. Wish I could tell you more.

    Wish I could give you everything. My love......

  • Insults? Putdowns? I was simply stating my opinion on how well this video met the objectives as given by EA. Is a film critic insulting because he gives a film 3 out of 5 stars?

    Only Pull A Tiger, The Caddy, and Out of the Box followed the objective, IMO. If 40% of the judges' score is based on "Appropriateness to Topic," then this video is out of contention.

  • Entrants were to create a video telling us "how there is no win like a sports win."

    This video says the OPPOSITE. The only thing that can be construed as a win is the notion that the lead character gets his way in the end - BUT, he's not playing a sport! He "wins" by whining/irritating other guy, until he gets his way.

    So, this video says "there's no sports win like a win achieved by whining." The exact opposite of what EA is asking for. It relishes a whine win over a sports win.

  • YAWN!!!! I've heard this over and over again. You could find a lame excuse to discount every video in this contest if you really wanted to. How about something new?

    Here's a question for you (I'm assuming you've actually watched this video):

    What motivates the annoying guy to say "OHH HO HO!!! Yeah, that's how it's done. It's DONE!"?

    I'd like to know what you think IYO.

    FLAME WAR!!!!

  • Sorry, not interested in flame war, whatever that is.

    In answer to your question: Annoying guy gets his turn to play the game, right? So, he's happy playing now? Or, maybe he made a good shot? You're talking about the very end of the video, right?

    Suppose it doesn't matter, as deciphering your comments suggests that this video has already been informed as the winner. But, I still hold true to my opinions.

  • That's right, buddy! He made a great shot! A GREAT SPORTS WIN ON TIGER WOODS PGA TOUR 10!

    Boo-Yah-Sha-KAH!

    Bet you love being WRONG!!!!!!!!

    Been fun playing with you, man! Have a good one! GOODBYE!!!

  • LOL! This video is funny.

  • Holy sh!?! Awesome homie.

  • yeah, great video!

  • SNAP!! That's my boy!! Awesome job!!

  • 睇咁多次都仲係覺得咁好笑....下邊班人都唔知要嘈到幾時

  • 個故仔好正,係5個入面最好果個

  • Great video bro!!!

  • I love this video! it's the best! go canada! yay!

  • Wow, viralvidtiger. It's looks like you've managed to single-handedly ruin the excitement and joy for two separate groups of people entered in this contest.

    Way to go! Your mother must be proud.

  • AH HA HA HAAA!!!!

    Oh, poor viralvidtiger. You're so tormented! People were attacking your heavily biased ideas, not you. And if they did attack you, it was BECAUSE YOU WERE A BULLY!

    How come sportacus isn't using his real Youtube account? Kind of hard to believe someone's sincerity or true identity when they won't use their real name.

    This flame war is starting to get all mushy and boring like. YECH!!!!

  • Great video!

  • I do not know viralvidtiger. I felt compelled to comment after reading the implication that he was the creator of the talking golfball video. This is absolutely false.

    The handful of us involved with the talking golfball video were thrilled to be one of five chosen and were thrilled further to see our video on YouTube. I'm sure the feeling was mutual for the other creators as well.

    Win or lose we are happy to have been picked as one of the five.

  • sportacus, good for you for trying to end this.

    But in all honesty, posting over and over again to try to get the video disqualified, making all upper-caps warnings to parents to stay away, and making accusations of buying views is not what I would consider "giving an opinion". It's a blatent attempt at sabotage and downright nasty and cruel.

    Really, viralvidtiger, you should be ashamed of yourself.

    sportacus, if you're friends with this person, I would really recommend you reconsider that.

  • OMG NACHOS, don't be so naive. sportacus and viralvid ARE THE SAME PERSON! Don't you find it odd that they were signed on AT THE SAME TIME decrying viral's allegience to the golfball. They have pretty similar minds for 2 different people.

    It's called DAMAGE CONTROL. If viralvid was real, he wouldn't have bothered to separate himself from the golfball. sportacus is a new youtube account CREATED TODAY and is just rewording what the maker of this video said yesterday.

  • Incidentally, eventhough I am affiliated with the folks that made the golfball video, I did like this spot; laughed quite a bit the first time. I also liked the one with the kid and the air remote (I forget the title).

    EA has 90% voting power so they will ultimately determine the winner. Congrats to whoever wins!

  • Nope I am not him and he is not me..

  • You're not dealing with idiots, viralvidtiger.

    You honestly expect ANYONE to believe you? What kind of normal person would start a passionate SMEAR CAMPAIGN right at the moment the views on youtube surpassed the golfball, quoting OBJECTIVES and POSTING VIDEOS OF THEM for people to read without some kind of real personal agenda?

    2009sportacus is an account just created today and writes exactly like you. The other 3 contestants stopped posting comments 4 DAYS AGO!

    You ARE the golfball!

  • 100% false, 75pancakes. And please, calm down.

    I have zero affiliation with any of the videos that made the Top 5. I witnessed the comments of this video being "over-the-top" praised, so I simply gave my honest opinion, just as others have made.

    Then, I got railed by fellow commentators, so I simply re-stated the reasoning for my comments. Before you know it, things seemed to get ugly. I never made any derogatory, personal comments about anyone, although I have been personally attacked.

  • For the last time, I simply gave my honest opinion on this video and how well it satisfied, or didn't satisfy, the objective given to entrants.

    The judges scores have been accounted for, as have the public votes. As far as I am concerned, this silly debate is over. I am done. No more comments please.

  • Yeah you "simply" gave your opinion about 15 times. And now you are telling the people that have been proving your "opinion" wrong in many different ways to stop commenting; what the hell is wrong with you? Why didn't you stop after you gave your opinion the first time?

    Do you have Obsessive Compulsive Disorder? Or are you just a douche bag?

  • Viralvidtiger Post your video and let the world decide

  • ...bitch

  • For the record, viralvidtiger, had nothing to do with nor does he speak for, anyone involved with the talking golfball video.

  • Yes, for the record, I speak for absolutely no person, or entity. In fact, I am affiliated with zero of the 5 entrants. I am just a person with an opinion, who is familiar with the objectives because of my interest in participating in this contest.

  • HA AH HA HA HA HA HA HAAAAA!!!

    Dude, I totally called you out a LONG time ago. Everybody knows you're the golfball. Why fight it? It makes the flame war so much better.

    Don't stop posting. KEEP IT UP!!!!

  • HAHA! I knew he's show up again if I egged him on! KEEP THE FLAME WAR GOING!!!!! WOOOOOO!!!!!

    People like you make my life so much fun. I'm surprised your "kids" get any parental supervision with the amount of time you spend alone.

  • Whoops! I meant online.

  • Lastly,

    3. Video depicts lead character calling Tiger Woods a "son of a ...." This is, by far, the most un-family friendly issue in the video. The edit takes place before the implied, B-word is expressed. If no vulgar term was implied, then why the edit?....just let the character complete his statement.

    I'm only reiterating my statements because HAHA and 75 felt the need to bring my name up again. Let it end.

    As always, these are only my opinions. We'll know soon who the titleist is.

  • Have your "kids" ever seen a Disney movie? Lots of implied vulgar words, sex and oh so many other "un-family friendly" issues in them. P.S. Disney movies are rated G to PG and are beloved by kids all over the world.

  • 2. Video depicts lead character behaving in very unsportsmanlike way. This is a big no-no... especially, in the game of golf. Parents use the sport of golf to teach their children valuable life lessons and morals.

    This video shows guy yelling right after Tiger's drive, then talking during Tiger's swing, then standing in front of Tiger while Tiger's trying to shoot. Finally, guy tries blowing Tiger's putt off line, while begging for Tiger to miss.

    Not appropriate behavior when playing golf.

  • While the special effects are great, and I'm sure took some hard work, the content of the video is not "appropriate to topic."

    Furthermore, entrants were told to "keep video clean" and to "make it family friendly."

    IMO, this video is not clean, or family friendly, for 3 reasons:

    1. Video depicts lead character behaving like spoiled child, until he finally gets his way. IMO, this reinforces negative behavior in children who may think they can throw fits until they get their way.

  • You are such a BABY!!!! What are you 5? This video is completely family friendly!! The only one I see acting like a spoiled child is you!!

  • What more can I say? Shall I reiterate? It's not "ragging," I am simply giving my opinion on the video, and how well it meets the objective as given by EA Sports.

    Entrants were told to create a video that: "tells us how there is No Win Like a Sports Win."

    IMO, this video completely ignored that objective, and instead created a video that: "tells us how if you cry and moan enough, you will eventually get your way." You're lying to yourself if you can't see that's the premise of this video.

  • Oh for F**K sakes!! NO ONE AGREAS WITH YOU!!!!!! You are just a sad little man that can't take the idea of losing!! You need to grow up and learn that some times the best thing to do is be a graceful loser, not a sore one. EA will pick what ever video they like best and I'm sure they don't need you to "remind them of there own objectives. The voting only counted for a small part of this contest and thats over, so get a life.

  • That's so bizarre! viralvidtiger AKA TheDogwhistler was so focused on dissing this video yesterday on August 31st, posting and ragging on it over and over throughout the day. Now, he's nowhere to be seen. I don't understand. Can someone explain it to me?

  • To true. Its funny how viralvidtiger was so hung up on being a big bully trying to make this video look bad yesterday (the last day for voting) and now he's gone. I hope his talking ball hits him in the head when he loses.

  • Comment removed

  • Awesome, best of the 5 EA videos.

  • This is awesome!!! The guy in the video is my brother. Too funny. Great job on the video it is by far the best out of the 5 and that's not just cuz I'm related to Pat. :P

  • おもしろいと私は思うけどねぇ〜。

    細かいことグダグダいう必要なし。

  • viralvidtiger:

    This video is not offensive. It is not unsportsmanlike. It is a joke, strictly a joke, which is witty and very entertaining. If you don't like it, don't vote.

    You're being a hypocrite and taking the cake for whining. AND let me just say, children are NOT going to exhibit poor behaviour because the B word was implied. If they do, it's because they've heard it before, and it was probably from their parents.

    GREAT video Paul, don't listen to this viralvitiger guy.

  • viralvidtiger, you obviously don't have children! Children whine, children fantasize about playing with their heroes.

  • Unsportsmanlike Conduct...hmmmm

    Interesting to hear the creator mention this topic.

    Did you happen to view your own creation?

    Unsportsmanlike conduct, especially in the game of golf, is yet another reason I find this video unsuitable for children.

    Annoying dude yelling after Tiger's shot, dude talking during Tiger's swing, dude standing in front of Tiger who is trying to shoot his shot, dude trying to blow putt off course, dude calling Tiger a "son of a..." etc, etc, etc

  • lol. Maybe they should have cast viralvideotiger as the whiny guy!

  • Ahhh, this makes me laugh every time I watch it> Looove it!!!

    Ben

  • I am the creator of this video - and I feel I need to step in at this point to denounce viralvidtiger's accusation of purchasing views.

    I did not purchase any views for this video. I HAVE been running like a madman promoting though. I'm proud of this video, and even more proud of the great response it has been receiving.

  • viralvidtiger - Well, if anybody would understand whining, it would be you.

  • To everyone voting, please ignore the unsportmanlike conduct and bullying that's been going on and vote for the video THAT YOU LIKE BEST!!! The link to the actual contest is in the upper right hand corner.

  • Here's an excerpt from Disney's "The Hunchback of Notre Dame"

    In the scene, Esmeralda lets down her guard for a split second, allowing Phoebus to grab the sword she's holding and turn it against her.

    Phoebus: That, for example.

    Esmeralda: You sneaky son of a--

    Phoebus: Ah, ah, ah! Watch it--you're in a church.

    This movie is rated G by the MPAA.

    That's just a fun little fact.

  • This video is FANTASTIC!! So creative. Easily the winner!

  • viralvideotiger - you're really out to get these guys aren't you? I read through the brief and I also watched all of the videos again. And I must say, that ALL of the videos meet the objectives "there's no win like a sports win" in one way or another. That's why they're the top 5. Most of the videos just seem to take a more creative approach to getting the point across than just actually SAYING those words... and a big part on how EA is grading these videos is on creativity.

  • I'm sorry there's just no denying the lesson/objective of this video.

    As TheDogwhistler said, "if you cry enough, you get your way."

    Even if you're a 20-year-old man, behaving like a 5-year-old spoiled brat.

    That's the premise of the video, right? How can anyone spin it any differently?

    WARNING TO PARENTS: This video may reinforce negative behavior in your children.

  • Wow. Quoting yourself. Somebody's sure got an inflated sense of self-esteem. Right Dogwhis...?

    Oh sorry, viralvidtiger. Got confused for a second there.

    Gotta run. Got some sour grapes to eat.

  • Thought I'd check back to see how all the videos are doing, and I've noticed that this one has been quite active. Being a viral video maker myself, all I can say is all this flaming is AWESOME! Whether or not some people find this video unsuitable for kids (which is totally stupid), it can't be denied that this video is clearly the most viral, which IMHO was the true goal of this competition. Am I wrong?

  • AiyaTV - good question.

    Entrants were given objective to create a video that: "tells us how there is no win like a sports win."

    If you click my name, it will take you to a video of the creative brief given to all entrants when they entered contest.

    Judge for yourself which video best meets the objective.

  • Hey vvt. Got your page up. Let's see here:

    Mandatory Elements:

    Stick to golf - CHECK!

    Keep videos clean - CHECK!

    End with PGA TOUR 10 logo - CHECK!

    Use only PGA TOUR 10 footage - CHECK!

    No problem with this video.

    I guess you're referring to the overview, but I don't see your problem. The guy seems pretty happy about his sports win in the end. And you don't necessarily have to beat your audience over the head with a theme to make a point. It's called subtlety. It makes films good.

  • Hey Dogwhistler!

    Remember when you made a negative comment about this video last week and then you got shot down by a little girl? THAT WAS FREAKIN' HILARIOUS!!!!!

    I laughed so hard. Oh man, I'm so loving the flame war in the comments of this video. They're almost as funny as the video itself.

    Anyway, best of luck with your animated golf ball video. And please make more comments on this one. They're GREAT! You can use other aliases if you want. I can usually tell when it's you.

  • aw that was cute, hes like my lil brother

  • That sone of a .... line might hurt it, but its ridicilously funny!

  • I know how u feel. My kid keeps trying to climb inside the tv after watching. Kids are so impressionable.

  • Tell them it's because Tiger almost hit him with a golf ball. Here's a couple a suggestions to end the sentence:

    - A son of a gun

    - A son of a goat

    - A son of a thousand maniacs

    - A son of a Virgin Mary (Remember, Tiger can walk on water too)

    - A son of a mother, being my mother. I'm your long lost brother! That's why I've been hounding you all day!

    You're welcome! Anything for the kids. Thanks for the additional view and comment on the video.

  • Get a LIFE!!!!! Do you have nothing better to do then try to "sabotage" this video? Seriously if people didnt buy into your objective BS the first time why do you think they will the 10th time?

  • If this vid didn't meet requirements why is it in top 5? Me thinks it fits perfect - guy wants to play game and he wins. He gets to play. Simple. Perfect concept.

    Good job creators of this vid. This contest is getting intense eh?

  • See what I mean? viralvidtiger is an alias created for this competition a week ago in a lame attempt to make a far superior video look bad. As if the username alone didn't give it away.

    This Ferguson character is also a newly created youtube account created last week that commented only on the videos from the competition.

    If you really care, read the official rules on the voting website and you'll see there's no reference to what he's talking about. Link is on the upper right.

  • Psudoki

    You obviously didn't read the criteria before accepting Ferguson's comments.

  • 0:45-0:50 must of been a bitch to edit. It's flawless!

  • totally gonna win

  • Great Job! IN THE GAME is a winner!

  • wow dude that was insaaanneee

  • Ha! Hilarious from beginning to end! This is definitely the best in the contest, no question. I was surprised there had been some negative comments about it, but then I noticed that most of those people could be tracked down to the other contestants who must be trying to discredit this one. Can't say I blame them. THIS ONE ROCKS!!!!!!

  • What's ip? Like - ip in pool, or ip pants?

  • Why Arent the views going up? I've watched this video like 20 times in the past hour.

  • Anyone who doesn't like this video is crazy, because this thing rocks my socks off! The guy reminds me of Phil Helmuth, who can also be really whiny when he loses at poker. But when he wins, there's absolute joy just like this guy shows.

  • the video is as addictive as the game itself. amazing and fun!

  • This video is SWEET! Its totally getting my vote. You can tell a lot of effort went into this one.

  • Again I would like to say: cool! Oh, and I just bought the game for wii. Best golf game EVER!!!

  • Great video!  50TH COMMENT!

  • Super cool! No contest here.

  • wow MAD props for this one!

  • I watched all 5 videos and this one takes it (with the animated ball and the controller being tied for my second choice). This concept is awesome and has the most potential to turn into a marketing campaign series. Great job guys! And good luck!

  • omg totally cool!

  • sorry that's supposed to be a reply to gobblegobble - reply function no working?

  • Pretty cool effects... but, GEEZ, did someone's mom get her first youtube account today?  hahaha Thanks, mom!

  • Hey Smeenis. WELCOME TO YOUTUBE!!! I noticed you just signed up today too!

  • that was amazing man. I wish you win

  • I love this video almost as much I love Maroon 5. And you know what? I LOVE MAROON 5!!!!!!!!

  • WTF? I read the official rules for this contest on the voting site and NONE of what you're talking about is in there. Are you on crack? That's addictive too.

  • That last one was a response to tovideotiger. The reply thing didn't seem to work.

  • It is soooo hard to make a video about, No Win Like A Win.  75pancakes is right you must be on crack. Would you like the number for the Betty Ford center?

  • Great concept! Really enjoyed this one.

  • Woo Hoo!! That was awesome man!! I LOL.

  • AWESOME!  Best one!

  • Hilarious! Definately the best out of the five. They should make that guy a character in the game, give him a chance to go one on one with Tiger.

  • haha pretty cool but redundant. The guy got annoying

  • This is by far the best of the videos with the animation coming in a distant second. Good job guys, I am hoping you win. You rock!

    FIVE!

  • Comment removed

  • this video out of the 5 listed is by far the best in originality, creativity, video production and last but not least HUMOR! I have no idea why the other videos doesn't even appeal to the audience that surrounds video games in general. This made my whole family cry lol, good job whoever did this! you got my vote!

  • this is awesome ,I bet it is the winner, my whole family laughted, BUt on top of it all it markets the video the best! great job, very creative/ professional

  • Comment removed

  • I love it. The best part is when it goes to "real life"

  • awesome!

  • LOL - love it when he whispers "my turn"

  • Hah!  I loved it when Tiger almost beaned that guy right in the head.

  • Of the 5 videos in the contest, this is the only one that actually made me laugh out loud. Definitely in my top three.

  • you suck. this video is the best

  • Don't take it personal--we all have the right to express our opinions

  • Comment removed

  • Call it sour grapes, since my video didn't make Top 5, but videos are being judged by how well they followed EA's Creative Brief:

    Overview: The desire to win is why people play games. What is the catalyst for the experience of winning? Addictive? Contagious? Timely? To feel the rush of the win? What does winning mean to you?

    Objective: Create a viral video telling us how there is "No Win Like a Sports Win."

    I think EA wants something like their "Joy" video for their new website, The Win.

  • What are we supposed to be voting on? Technical expertise, story, special effects? What was the criteria the entrants had to follow?

  • great vid bro...

    i think i have everyone voting for this video.. even one of my clients at work...

  • I loved it! By far the best in the contest!

  • love the effects and editing!

  • The effects are stellar!

  • Awesome!  What a great idea.
