Courses?

[shaunjuan2000]

Also, the DLC will be sold 2 ways, some as singles, some as packs. Still waiting to see which ones are on the disc. More info as soon as I get it.

Also DLC will NOT be able to be used in career mode.

Wished you used commas but I deciphered this to be around 28 courses. Predator and Emerald Dragon are fantasy courses I think so that means they will be DLC (they better be because it's ridiculous to put those in career mode) as well as the 2 that are included as preorders so that means at least 24 other courses available.

Does this mean that we get more than the 16 from last year and they actually don't penalize PS3 users because Xbox games can't fit more courses on the DVD discs. Or are they screwing us by giving the same 16 courses and expects gamers to ante up for 12 DLC courses which is highway robbery.

If you give the Wii platform 28 courses and have no problems alienating Xbox gamers for that then the PS3 should be afforded the same luxery with the BR disc.

The game will ship with 15-17 courses on the disc. All the fantasy courses are DLC. Don't compare 360/PS3 courses with Wii courses as 360/PS3 courses average 200-245 MB in size while Wii courses average 40-50 MB in size....

Doesn't change the fact that you could fit alot more courses on a PS3 disc than the Xbox. You have almost half of the total courses via DLC when you could issue a 2nd disc with the Xbox (they did it with Forza) to compensate for the lack of DVD space.

And you are dismissing completely the added cost of doing so. Comparing a game like Forza that sells in the tens of millions of copies to a game like Tiger that sells a couple million copies is not a fair comparison whatsoever....

I don't understand why DLC will not work in career mode. What's the point of having it if you can't use it in your career?

[shaunjuan2000]

Divot, I cannot get on EA via my ps3 and I don't have a computer, but based on what I put together from descriptions at gamestop, I figured disc courses to be (based on PGA Tour Season):
St. Andrews
Whistling Straits
Pebble
Sawgrass
Harbour Town
Bay Hill
Cog Hill
TPC Boston
East Lake
Liberty Nat'l
Torrey Pines
Firestone
Celtic Manor
Scottsdale
River Course @ Black Wolf Run
The Greenbriar
Hazeltine
Can we confirm the disc course list?
Also, are there going to be more than 17 tournaments in a season? Obviously, they would need to repeat course if they do that. One final thng does the Major events in career mode use different courses each year?

Per CamleeEA at the forum about DLC on the career mode:

DLC courses will be playable in PGA Tour Season offline?- I am afraid not this year. We have started work on this system but in the end we needed to focus on other additions to the game and were not able to get this into the game in a way that would have been a shippable quality feature.
