Golf>DLC courses for 600 MP is RIDICULOUS EA!!!

DLehrsch32 01:01 AM 10-02-2009

I purchased Banff and spyglass and then realized that I had just blown 1200 MP and only had 400 left from my 1600 card...since then I have played the new courses a few times just to check them out, but other than that (since they are not integrated into the PGA Tour season) I don't really find a functional way to play these courses...In addition, the game cost me 59.99 and there were 16 courses released w/ the game. If I would have been a complete foolish idiot and purchased all 7 DLC (I think it's 7) it would have cost me $52.50!!!! So let me get this straight, a full game w/ all the trimmings and 16 courses costs 59.99, and 7 random courses which can in no way be incorporated into the PGA Tour season or Tiger Challenge costs almost as much???? WOW, God bless you EA, you guys really know how to take a big piping hot dump on your loyal consumers who purchased the full retail game in the first place. Why don't you guys just sell a disc next year w/ 8 random courses and no other content for 59.99??? and then you can put out 7 separate pieces of the retail game as DLC for like $20 each??? But remember 7 separate pieces of the game can't be integrated in w/ the 8 initial courses that you initial bought because that just wouldn't make sense!!!right???? WHat a joke you guys at EA are....I am trading in my tiger woods 10 game tomorrow and I am now done with the franchise...I still like the game, but you have made me so bitter that I cannot enjoy the game anymore...thank you very much...EA, if it's in the game, it's in the game.....Waw, Waw~~~~~~ [Reply]

I don't even play Golf games but that's kinda messed up. [Reply]

I'm not trading in TW 10 but I agree with you completely.
600 MS points is way too much for a course that can't be used in any mode of the game (offline) but casual 18-hole stroke play.
They should give us a package deal for all the DLC courses and the ability to use them in our offline career (sorry Divotmaker ... you knew I'd bring that up again :-)). [Reply]

I bought the game, spent 60 bucks, and haven't spent or even thought about spending a single penny more on it. And I'm not blowing a gasket. Those courses -- that's totally up to you whether you want to fork out the dough. The way I look at it is they're offering a product that I'm not interested in purchasing. Same relationship I have with most any other seller of merchandise. Nothing more or less than that. [Reply]

And BTW, Links courses used to sell for more than that. I remember going into computer-software stores and seeing single courses offered for $9.95, and 3-course packs for $24.95. And that was more than a dozen years ago. [Reply]

Although it's true all Links courses could be imported and used in season mode, given that game had a season editor. [Reply]

You could also convert most of your old Links courses to the newest version of the game, so you didn't have to rebuy the same courses over and over again. [Reply]

I can't see myself buying the next Tiger unless they do something phenomenal. I'm pretty pleased with '10 right now and I'm going to get my monies worth for the two courses that I did purchase. [Reply]

Ooo, that's a good point! Forgot all about that. Those were the days... [Reply]

Hee-hee! I'm cheapo as well (Scottish heritage and all). Last TW console game I purchased was 06. I played that up until TW 10 came out. [Reply]
