Let me check on that because I do not recall turning Caddy off at the beginning of the round turns him off for the entire round.

1) Turn the Caddy comments to 0 in Options Menu

2) Hit the D-pad at every new shot and focus on your upcoming shot instead of whatever the caddy is recommending. Since it can't be turned off at this point in time, I am making the best of it and still enjoying the challenge of the game which is more challenging that TW11 was so far.

Doesn't bother me. Do I wish it could be disabled? Yes. But I am still enjoying the challenge of the game so far and Career Mode is quite different than prior versions and much more what it should have been in years past.

In what ways is it more challenging from last year?

And are you able to view the career mode PGA calender at the very beginning of career mode or do you have to wait until you get to the PGA tour to see it. I would just like to know what the rotating DLC courses are the 1st season of the PGA tour so if I get any DLC for this game I know what to get 1st.

Hitting fairways and hitting greens as well as putting, especially with the Move. Just played the first tournament in the Nationwide TOUR at TPC SA and shot a +1 in Tournament mode with the DS3 controller.

Avg Score: 75

FIR % is 40

GIR % is 50

Putts per hole 1.7, but only because I am doing alot of pitching and chipping. So IMO, the gameplay is much more challenging than 11.

You can only see one TOUR Calendar at a time. The Tiburon Classic is first unless you played enough of the demo to bypass on the AM Tour. Win one tournament in the AM Tour and you move up to the Nationwide. Win 2 in the Nationwide or 3 Top 5 or 5 Top 10 finishes moves you on to Q-School, then to the PGA TOUR. No DLC courses used in any of the tours prior to the PGA TOUR, so you likely won't need DLC courses for a little while.

I can appreciate that you can enjoy the challenge of TW 12. The problem is, you have to jump through hoops to do so, and even then, you are still not given all the information the caddy is using to suggest shots for you.

At this point, it is clear that TW 11 is just a better game for those of us that grew to really appreciate TrueAim. The question is, for how long will EA support TW 11 with online tourneys and Play With the Pros?

Sorry, I could not disagree more. At least I am not jumping through any more "hoops" than I did playing TW11. If TW12 is not for you, fine. So far I like the challenge.

It is. Confirmed it in my last round played. Pretty much eliminates the caddy from the camera view and the only thing left is one or 2 of his shot suggestions, but the key is that Custom Shot is the default shot with Caddy off.
