The cost to secure these course licenses are really steep - some more than others. Unless you're selling a LOT of units, it makes it impossible to recoup the cost.

How many units do I have to buy to get Augusta and Pebble Beach?

Yeah, I get that. And I don't think RMPGAT sold nearly well enough for EA to count on selling enough course packs to make it feasible. And when you add in the money EA spends to design such accurate representations, it makes it hard to justify a large course library.

This is why the lack of social features like Country Clubs and the old GamerNet from TW09 hurt so much, and a more in-depth career mode hurt so much. It would have not only sold more copies, but kept gamer engaged enough to be around to buy new course packs.

EA golf does have 19 courses now, most of which I think are real ones -

That's not too bad I don't think, but certainly lots of good ones missing though.

It's tough these days it seems like

690,000+ copies as of last week (in less than a year) according to VgChartz.....TW14 has sold 740,000 in almost 3 years....

Question:

I have stayed away from the career mode thus far and have just been playing play now rounds. I've been playing career on TW14 but the load times are killing me; I think I'm ready to take the plunge with this game.

How is the create a golfer feature and did they tone down the over the top celebrations that created golfers indulge in?

Thanks.

Another great looking course. I shot a 66 on my first play there. Not a lot of spots to get into trouble off the tee, really. I felt like I left a couple of strokes out there.

I tried to run online, but there's never anyone on. At least not on the Tour Pro difficulty. I'll have to get back into my career soon.

I went through and counted 21 Regular season tournaments and 4 playoff events Banff has 2 of them

Create a golfer is bare bones. They did remove the ridiculous celebrations out of everything but *cough* Night Golf *cough*.....

Got 3 rounds in at Banff already tonight. Freaking love it! It looks great, and it's a blast to play IMO. Played during the day, morning, and evening. Just looks fantastic. It's like Christmas to me. Its my favorite course. One of my next vacations is going to be out there to play a round. It's on my bucket list for sure. Just a gorgeous, scenic golf course, in an amazingly beautiful area of Canada.

I never thought I'd see Banff in Rory, but man... I'm so glad it's here.

Good update but still no online game modes like alternate shot or best ball? Come on EA, a year later and we still don't have the option to play a team based match with friends online? It's kind of ridiculous if you think about it. Ranked matches are 9 holes too...who's idea was that? Why hasn't that been changed yet? A round of golf is 18 holes...

Amen brother, it is my favorite too. I was so wonderfully surprised when I saw the update complete, popped in the game and saw Banff on my course list! Plays great and looks just STUNNING.

Thanks EA, that made my day!

Now lets have a California Dreaming DLC pack with Pebble Beach, Spyglass, Poppy Hills, and Torrey Pines

If you look back at all my posts relating to RMPGAT, with every course update I probably said... give me Banff, and Pebble Beach and I'm thrilled. One down, one to go!

Personally I'm very happy with what EA has done with this title. They promised that additions would be made and they delivered. No way in hell would I go back back to golfing on the 360. Won't complain if they continue to add via this route.
