So i have been hearing about EAs new DRM plans etc. between the "online pass" and thier new ubisoft like DRM im now wondering about this game.

I have heard rumors of EA using the ubi like DRM on consoles. Does this game require any sort of internet connection? I want to buy it but i have a banned 360 and dont want to waste my money.
 
I haven't heard of any console games that NEED to be online?
 
I thought EA said they are going to stop with the restrictive DRM and only use a CD check?

Well since this is posted in the console section I assume that the OP's not talking about PC gaming. :p

EA's apparent new DRM on the consoles is to stop the selling of used games for so cheap. If you buy an EA game new, you obtain an online pass for that game. If someone were to try to buy it used and if the online pass that was included in the game was used then the person that bought it used has to purchase an online pass to be able to play the game.
 
Mmm, I loves me some T. Woods. I spent sooo many hours playing rounds in `04 for the XBOX with a buddy of mine, it was great. I was dominating that game. I recently picked up `08 for the PC and haven't spent much time with it yet, but I'm not sure how much I like using the mouse to swing. I'll have to see how it plays with a 360 controller.

This has what to do with what?
 
I do not believe this will be the case. I was fairly certain that it was a requirement for full blown disc games on the xbox to play w/o an online connection. That said I can't see this being far away -- it's bound to happen some day. Really sucks for people like me that work in many situations for weeks at a time without internet. The online requirements to play pc games really sucks when you're working in internet-free remote locations with lots of down time and a decent laptop...
