But the thing is, it doesn't cost $150 to play the game.

It costs $59.99 (or less if you can find a deal).

The DLC is 100% optional. If you get the game & play it so much that you want more content, you can pay for additional content. If you don't want to pay anything beyond the $59.99 price for the disc, you can still enjoy a complete game with a ton of content.

And that's not even touching on the fact that you can unlock the extra courses without spending extra money this year.

I still don't see why people are defending the DLC policy that TW has. I agree there should be SOME DLC, but to have 15-20 courses for free, and have 20-25 that you are almost forced to pay for is a bit of a joke.

Now I bought all the DLC for '12, but I got the game for less than £15 so i didn't mind. I believe EA loses money because of many people who will wait to get the game cheap because they believe that only then does it become worthwhile.

I agree that 2004 was the best all-round PGA game until '12, and all the courses were free.

At least reduce the DLC pricing structure to 0.50 per course or something like that, which is a lot more reasonable.

People are defending it because through 2011 you only had the option to pay per course with no package deals. The package deals bring the DLC into the fair range for many of us. Add in the fact that now you can get every course unlocked without any real world $ and it shouldn't be that hard to see. Free from the start would be great, but what we've had the last 2 years is much improved.

Seriously? Licensed PGA TOUR as well as other World Class courses for $.50 each? Sorry, never going to happen. If you had any idea what it cost EA to create each course (licensing fees, going to the course and laser-mapping, laser-scanning the course, the acquiring GPS data for building the 3D terrain, then the painstaking hours that the course artists spend getting the course to look and play accurately), you would not make such absurd comments. Links 2004 had 2 whole DLC courses that were not licensed and they were $5.00 each and had nowhere near the resources that EA puts into their courses. Not to mention Links only came with 6 courses to begin with. Three years ago, Tiger DLC was $7.50 each and a couple of courses were $10.00 each. With TW13, you can get an 11 course pack for $39.99 which also comes with a bonus new licensed PGA TOUR course as well. Sorry, but when I see DLC pricing as well as options to acquire DLC courses without spending a penny as well, you are darn right I am going to support the direction EA is going with DLC courses. If you can't see it, then I don't know what else to say other than find another game to play.....

How can you not comment on the removal of GamerNet?!?!?! That was a fantastic feature they tore from the game. When it comes to TW I know EA will whore out the DLC that I'll pay for because me and my friends play online a lot. I agree its dispicable, but hey, its EA.
I don't know anyone who still used the antiquated 3 click method, so that doesn't really bother me. But the outright removal of a great feature like GamerNet is a travesty. I saw you can still sort of play the pros, in the tournaments section... But I don't know if that's just for the Masters, or will be a recurring thing.

I don't miss Gamernet one bit. All it was good for were arcade players to see how many 400+ yard drives they could hit. No one I know who plays the game used it. I tried it when it first came out and used it twice and have not used it since. Sorry you think it should have stayed in.

And yes, Play the Pros is still in the game.

Gamernet became kind of pointless once the game was out for some time.

Someone would hole out an approach shot and post it as a "close approach". After awhile that was all there was. It was a great idea, but ultimately it didn't add anything to the game.
