I talked my brother into getting Tiger Woods 07 so that we can play online, but unfortunately it is a miserable experience. Only one of us can use the player we created, one always reverts to Tiger Woods. The gameplay is choppy which obviously affects shot timing, proper spin, etc. Also, the main reason we play online is so we can talk to each other, but most of the time the comms are dead...works only every third hole or so and then for a matter of seconds. Is there anything we can try? We're both on cable modems.

Thanks for the info. No router's, but not sure about the firewall. I'm pretty much a plug-and-play guy and I'm don't have the slightest idea how to open a firewall port. I'm good at following directions though. Is it a big deal to do?
