Because the PS3 and 360 are very similar in capabilities and both output in HD, which the Wii does not which changes many things about the games. Money does have something to do with it, but likely not solely for the way you describe. I am not sure if the next 360 will come out with higher capacity discs, but the trend seems to be a shift to downloading and streaming of games instead of using physical media. Hard to say what will come with the game in the future, but I do believe microtransactions are here to stay.

I want this thread to get back on track but first to clear up some misquotes:

I never said games don't recieves patches? It was said the DLC wouldn't happen as it wasn't fair because some don't have LIVE. I said then it isn't fair to release patches because some don't have LIVE, if that was a legit excuse. No where did I say games don't receive patches.

Also I never said "that they are holding back courses because they are not being truthful about how much data the game is taking up on the DVD" Never came close to saying that at all.
I said If they in fact had the courses they could just add them to DLC for the 360 and not use the DVD excuse to not include them on BR.


All I'm saying is that there are ways around the size issue as yes the DVD size can and probably does in some games hamper the content availability especially now a few years into this gen's life.

EA is NOT going to do this because then PS3 users would have more content ON THE GAME DISC than 360 users who do not have access to XBox Live. The BR/360 DVD issue is not an excuse, but reality. You cannot imagine the uproar that would come from 360 users (especially those who play offline only) if EA did what you describe.

I agree with you that it wouldn't go over well. I was just simply saying it was an option.
No matter how they do it like others I hope the majority are real courses.
On another subject was there any mention of a course creator in the future?
I know we had them on PC but I'd assume the programming (Lighting etc..) would not make a course creator feasible for console....

I don't see a course creator for consoles until they all have hard drives for storing courses under construction as well as the course creation tools as well as mouse/keyboard support for all consoles. It would be virtually impossible to create a course with a standard gamepad.

Divot,

I know you have mentioned sticking with the PC version in the past mainly due to the number of user made courses available. With the emphasis on Online modes for consoles this year do you see the benefit of those modes overcoming the massive course list for the PC?

I hope so. I just got a glimpse of what EA is planning for online play, but I was excited at what I saw. Can't wait for more details to be released about online play for TW10....

Can we play online against other people with the Wii version?
