Could have been an outstanding game

First I'd like to thank Gamefly for saving me $144. That's how much it would cost to buy TW PGA Tour 12: The Masters and be able to finish it. The graphics are very good, the overall game play is easy and intuitive, and the deep story mode offers hours of gaming. The putting system is the worst feature of any game I've ever played. If you put the aiming marker where the caddy tells you to aim, you'll make about 2 out of 20 putts. Another thing I didn't like is that the game puts you in the Masters Tournament at Augusta when your skills are at approximately 50%. Not only did I not win the Masters, by the 3rd round I was so frustrated and tired of missing putts that I didn't care anymore. Finally, the biggest negative about this game, and the reason I rated it a 2, is because after you buy the game (new price is $59.99), then you have to buy courses in order to finish the game. If you skip a tournament because you don't want to buy the course, it will affect your ranking and mark you as DNP (Did Not Play). I have always been a lukewarm EA fan at best but this game has caused me to decide never to buy another EA game until they fix some of these issues, mainly the one forcing you to buy in-game content in order to finish the game.
It's really sad because this could have been an outstanding game but EA ruined it with their greed. They should be ashamed of themselves.
