My #1 gripe as well..

I hate them and refuse to play them. However, there is a large contingent of TW users (mostly default players) who love the fantasy courses and are begging EA to release them for TW10. No idea if they will be offered as DLC or not in TW10, but personally they have no business being in any game with the PGA TOUR license on it....

That article insinuated that the 16 courses that thay are talking about are real courses. So do we have at least 16 PGA courses to play?

As long as they don't out the kiddy courses in PGA tour mode I'll be happy.

That I can confirm because fantasy courses do not need an EA team laser-mapping a course that does not exist. Can't wait for EA to reveal the new courses....there are some awesome new courses coming out.

I also agree that no fantasy courses in PGA TOUR play is a good thing and I believe EA agrees 100%. Besides, fantasy courses are not a part of being "inside the ropes of the PGA TOUR" which is the focus of all the new features and improvements this year.

Didn't they say the same thing last year? To be honest, this disappoints me a little because DLC courses can't be used in season mode. If the really are going to be more aggressive then I assume that means more then 2 DLC courses and, it will just suck to have all these new course that can't be used during your season. I'd rather the game be delayed and the courses finished and put on the disc (I hope it is not a case of the 360 holding these back because of there DVD capacity compared to the PS3's BD).

Rant to follow:

I also hope they drop the price on the DLC as well, if they are really going to be more agrresive with it. I didn't mind paying 7.50 for each of the 2 course for 09 but, if they end up releasing 5, 6 or 7 course via DLC, I'm not sure I'm willing to shell out an additional $37-$52 for this game (after the inital $60 to buy it). I think courses should cost $5 or less to be honest. I know they work hard and put a lot of time into them but, EA has to look at it from the gamers point of view. Asking us to pay upwards of $90 (or more) for the complete package of a TW game just screams greed IMO when, if they delayed release for a few months, more of these planned DLC course could be included in the game. Now, I'm a sucker for new courses so, I'll probably end up handing EA my money but, I will not be happy about it! Of course, I'm assuming that the term "agressive" means more the 3 DLC courses. The game use to come out in August so, why not push it back to August and get a few more course in the game.

No, they did not say the same thing last year.

The 360 DVD is definately a factor in how many courses can ship with the game. The PS3 and the BluRay DVD is not an issue. Another reason that EA does not include a course disc is because every 360 DVD that is shipped costs them extra in game development costs where DLC is a fraction of that cost. I can see both sides to the argument though, but until the 360 DVD has more capacity and/or MS relaxes the fees they charge on multi-DVD games, I don't see any other way around this. And I do agree that pricing should be lower as $7.50 USD for courses that were either in the previous version and/or cannot be played in offline mode is steep and unreasonable.

Totally agree!!
I'm liking what i'm hearing so far about the game though!
June can't come soon enough! Hopefully the new putting system works and feels like Links. I will be very happy!!! I hope the overall feel and ball physics were improved too.

All I know is I can't wait for this (first time ever) and wish they would start dropping more info on us and better yet interact with us the way the Live and Madden devs are.

I really hope they have the Moonah course from The National Golf Club (in Australia) in the PS3 / 360 version. I work on the groundstaff on the Moonah course and i remember when EA came out to do all the laser mapping and photography of the course, they were there for over 2 weeks taking 1000's of readings and photos. It made me respect the effort the developers put in to bring these courses to us. Fingers crossed!
