Wait and buy the disc version when it releases next week, that way you'll get all of the latest content updates for the full price ($39.99?) compared to having to spend $35 on the digital version then wait another 2+ weeks to have to pay an additional $10 for the DLC content which is included in the disc version.

Thanks for the info

The digital version will be coming down in price to $29.99 next Tuesday, the day of the disk release, so that when the DLC comes out it will match the price of the disc version.

Sorry, but I just gotta jump in here.

Yeah, that's great. That's what that other game does, and does well. Good for it. This is not that game. If you want that, you can play that other game.

Comparing The Golf Club to Links is downright silly. Your credibility flies right out the window when you make comparisons like that.

You obviously have not seen much of what is being created out there. It's incredible. I've played the other golf games (all of them, really) over the past 30 years, and the graphics on this game and the quality of the courses that the community is producing is as good as *anything* out there. That may change when the new PGA game comes out, and that's okay. I plan on getting that, too.

Heh - I played a guy in the other game once that wore a Space Suit, and shot a 54. LOL /thread

Unfortunately, the ratio of SpaceSuit guy to SIm guy is WAY outta whack.

What I liked most about the TW series is that there was a lot do. The mini games, career mode, using the pros in exhibition, online play and tournaments, including playing against real life scores on the same course that the pros were playing that weekend, and even customizing my golfer all make it a fun package. I do wish they would add the use of Pros in season play instead of just building up your own character. I don't think there is wrong with someone asking if TGC offers something that they enjoyed in another game.

No, man. I think that's what you're missing. They (TGC) don't *want* to be the other game. They are their own entity. If you like the other game, great! Go play it, have fun! I know I will. I'll play it and enjoy it, and I'll play and enjoy The Golf Club too.

There's room for both!

I think you missed the context of the post I was replying to. But carry on.

Guys,

The EA vs 2k wars wore very thin on this forum when they were happening for the football games.


I beg of you, please don't let our peaceful small golf forum small to the same fate.

There are seperate threads dedicated to each game. No need to bring discussions from one game into a thread about the other when it's being used as a means of negatively attacking either game.

What I don't get is in FB all we hear is "No competition!!" etc.. that ends in company vs company back and forth..

Then we have golf where we have some options and it goes to a "This game/company is better" back and forth.

Just shows too many people aren't happy unless they are bitching about something.
Just like if we had FB options.. I'll be grabbing all and enjoying what each brings.
