EA Bonus Course

Does anyone know why this isn't unlocked if you purchase the 11 course pack? The requirements are to unlock unlimited rounds on 12 DLC courses. If you purchase them, shouldn't it unlock the course?

Re: EA Bonus Course

You have to get the full course mastery for a course to unlock unlimited rounds (I believe)

Buying the DLC courses doesn't unlock unlimited rounds automatically. You still have to earn the mastery for those also. It's the same as the Forza DLC cars. Buying the DLC lets you use them in practice modes but you have to "buy" them in the game to use in your career.

Re: EA Bonus Course

Wait...what?

If I pay real money for the extra DLC courses are you saying I cannot use them without buying them with in-game points as well?

Or are you saying once I pay money for them I can use them all I want except to add them to career mode?

Re: EA Bonus Course

It doesn't take long to gain coins, and really if you are even decent at the game, it takes 6 rounds to get gold mastery... I wouldn't waste money on it when in reality it is free this year... Unless you bought the game for a specific course that you can only download, then maybe I would pay money, but having the Season Ticket, I have banked so many coins, I am able to open all courses and play several rounds (earning more coins) therefore after the 6th round playing there, I will have unlocked unlimited rounds for free...

Re: EA Bonus Course

I think you are getting bad info on this. Most indications are that once you pay real money for a course you have unlimited usage of it anywhere. Doesn't answer your original question but a lot of people are getting this wrong.

This is not the case, as others have pointed out elsewhere on the forums.

Re: EA Bonus Course

It should unlock after you download the 11 course pack. It will be in with the other TPC courses.

Re: EA Bonus Course

I can verify that the bonus course, TPC River Highlands (Traveler's Championship IRL) is available once you unlock unlimited rounds on 16 DLC courses (11 if you have the CE). They do NOT need to be gold mastered. It was available right away in the 'Play now' section.

Re: EA Bonus Course

Ah, maybe it is there then. It's odd that the EA Mystery Course or whatever it's called is still listed in the course selection. Kind of deceiving.

Re: EA Bonus Course

Nope, it's not there. It still says EA Sports Bonus Course. I have the CE, and downloaded the 11 course pack.

Re: EA Bonus Course

That's strange. I purchased and downloaded the 11 pack. After turning the game off and turning it back on the bonus course was gone and replaced with TPC River Highlands. I haven't played on it yet, but it was there and seemingly available.

Here's what I did. I rebooted the game first. Then went to the 'Play now' and it was there and available to use.

Re: EA Bonus Course

Just did that. Turned my 360 off and back on, and it's the same thing. This is stupid.

I apologize if the information I said was wrong. I wrote what I thought I had read from different threads on here. I wasn't trying to confuse anyone any further.
