I agree that changing the free daily tournament to simulation mode is unfair to new players.
I'm vaguely wondering if we may find the plan is for the difficulty of the free daily tournament to vary day-to-day, which wouldn't be so bad but still has the same effect of disadvantaging new players overall I think.

Being cynical, it's those new players and kids who are disadvantaged by this, that I would think EA feel are most willing to spend real world money on points. I'd rather they target people like me who are older and good at the game. I was fully expecting new courses to be paid for DLC and wasn't at all unhappy about the prospect. If I'm correct in my assumptions this seems like a far more cynical way to go about things.
I would have personally been extremely annoyed if the additional courses advertised pre-launch turned out to have to be paid for and I'm confident I would be far from alone in this. I can't recall off the top of my head if this was explicitly stated anywhere but Id certainly got the impression they would be free.
I do see where you're coming from re. your purchasing Points comment though.

I can understand you, but I'm being hypothetical, ie - If they had announced that it would be paid for DLC and been open about it. Most games do this with extra content. I suppose what fundementally annoys me is that they are blatently trying to monetise the game whilst pretending to the community that they aren't, and in doing so the targets are beginners, casual players and children.
I feel that the people who should pay the most for the game are those that sink the most hours into it, and with the method of monetisation that EA are using for this the opposite will be true.
