Hessen is basically correct. It changed to a computer based platform with high resolution graphics rather than older arcade EGA graphics. There is a bit more game play where you can customize players etc.

I don't think you can get on the Live network though without a game operators license and account with GT. So you are basically paying for the newer courses and software, 2 LCD monitors etc.

I guess you can still buy upgrades for it aswell although they are pricey and you can't skip years. You have to go to 2008 then 9 then 10 etc.

Ther are no upgrade options through GT for the 2005 game. It is the older platform and the only upgrade to that game is to go to Complete with all 29 of the Fore courses (2002-2005) on one machine. I have one kit left and may have a line to get some more but won't pursue it until I sell this one.
