    Does it look really freaking good on a PS4 with 4K tv? You bet. Blows the socks off TGC1. You playing on a 4K? If not, maybe your tv is holding you back from seeing the upgrade? Don't know. What I do know is im not exaggerating and I think the only exaggeration going on is calling this game "a beta", "unfinished product", etc.

    This is more complete and has more features then RMPGA had at launch yet we wanna compare the two and say this one sucks. Smh.
    No. I'm not playing on a 4k tv. Nor do I need one to see the upgrade. I've already stated the visuals are much better than TGC1. I'm just saying, for some to sit here and say it looks beautiful and other things like that, is a bit crazy to me. Is it an upgrade? Yup. I already stated that. Is it what we should expect out of either console? Absolutely not IMO. Is it acceptable from a smaller dev? Yes. All of those things I've said. I've not said a word about RMPGA... but if you want to go there, it's by far a better looking and running game visually on either console, that's not really up for debate IMO. As for the gameplay, IMO, both have their merits. Not sure why we're so quick to jump to playing the comparison game here. I guess that's kind of what I'm getting at though. There seems to be this insatiable need here to praise this game, and I get it, small studio, great effort, pretty solid game for what they've got to work with, I'm just not sure though why were trying to pass it off in it's current state as something worthy of these consoles. Look, I'm not bashing it here. I'm enjoying it far more than I thought I would, and it plays and looks far better than TGC1, no doubt, I'm just saying, lets not get too carried away here. That's all.

    The connection issues, yeah, that's a problem. Like you though, I can overlook it temporarily. That doesn't mean I find it acceptable though either, because it's not. For any game company IMO. However, I get it given their position in the industry. So, I'll give them time to work it out. I do agree though, not sure how we can clamor it's unfinished or a beta at this point either. It's clearly finished IMO, just having some server issues. Maybe they didn't expect the server load they got with some good sales today, or maybe some of the new online features caused some issues, who knows, but I'm sure they'll iron it out because I dont recall these issues with TGC1.

    Like I said, I just feel like some of the over the top praise here might lead some astray. I found it a bit... outside of reality. Again, not taking anything away from it being an upgrade, it is... but it's not like it took a jump from TGC1 to what you'd expect from a XB1/PS4 game.

      This game doesn't have any 4k assets. Yeah it might look a tad better on a better tv but to insinuate a tv is "holding the game back" is kinda silly.

        TGC1 had the percentages on the side of the lofting table that really made it easy. It's much fuzzier the way it's done in TGC2. Combine that with the new wind meter and the inexact range to target and it's not going to be a math exercise like it was in the first one.

          Not sure why you're taking things so personal. I even said "of course the game would look a tad better on a better tv". Nobody is bickering just discussing the game. Insinuating a persons tv is holding the graphics back and is resulting in the opinion that the graphics are not amazing is silly though. You don't need a 4k tv to see the improvements when compared to TGC1. Like I said.....The graphics are fine. I'm ok with them. They are what they are though.

I finished +2 because of the holes I didn't hit the fairway or three putting etc. But when in position off the tee, I could manipulate any club's loft where the distance was no longer a concern since I was going full swing and it was just about swinging with good tempo.

            Full disclosure, this was with pinpoint aiming and not range but that will be the default settings for a lot of online tournaments which is why I say the mechanic shouldn't even exist on that difficulty level.

            Keep playing, I can assure you are going to run into more challenging courses that will give you some challenging approach shots and short game shots.....

              All I know is that after 100+ rounds in Beta, I barely touched the loft mechanic because it was too easy to hit way short or too far and put myself in an even worse spot than finding a good place on the green to hit a full shot.

                  Oh I could connect, and then I'd disconnect, and then I'd connect, and then disconnect. I finally gave up and played Dirt 4. Very frustrating!

                  At least be like MLB The Show where you keep playing and it'll record your stuff later and not just end the game.

                    Seeing reports of a number of folks finally getting DC free games late last night.

                    Hang in there, I know it must be brutal not being able to play. I went a whole 2 hours not being able to connect with the PC version yesterday and ended up having to uninstall the game, Steam and reinstall everything to get back in the game.

                      Yeah it's really bad. I don't even think offline rounds count towards your handicap. I'll give it until monday. After that I'm calling Microsoft for a refund.

                          Yeah but a ton of people work during the day. The real question is will you be able to play a round without being disconnected when its 7pm eastern time.

                            Exactly. Same story as The Show for weeks. They just don't have the servers to handle peak time traffic. Small companies need to rethink how they incorporate online play.

                                Offline rounds do not count toward handicap sadly. You gain no beneifts playing offline besides being able to complete a round. Very frustrating.
