Re: The Golf Club 2 - Impressions Thread

Finally at home. Let's try out the player clubs first. Let's discover the differences between clubs. Feel it.
That's what I love about those Sim games. I like a steep learning curve when playing video games. Be it racing or soccer. I like to make up stories in my head too that help creating the "illusion" of being that video game character. I hope you get my point. Immersion is the word I guess. We don't have that in GER!
Anyway. I'm teeing off now...!

What's the difference between career mode and societies

Re: The Golf Club 2 - Impressions Thread

Short answer: career is vs AI. Societies is vs real players.

Please don't respond to us as if we are morons.....I saw he was in the fairway, but my point is still valid without the attempt to make it seem irrelevant or stupid.

Ugggh. I was responding you or anyone as if they were morons. If his post were asking for help for hitting out of the heavy rough your response would have been extremely helpful.

The post you quoted was something that pointed out an issue that shows us all we need to make sure we are paying attention to the lie just in case something like that happens to any of us when it is clear we get a lie that we shouldn't.

Very similar to the picture I posted shortly thereafter.

I'm not sure why you think everything posted in opposition of you is an attack man, we all want the same thing.


Completely unrelated:

I think there is something to reported issues with the right stick and tour clubs.

I finally switched to left stick last night and my four round cumulative score was better than any single score I had carded yet using the right stick.

(Test controls were the same. Same course I had played before, used both of my controlers etc.)

Re: The Golf Club 2 - Impressions Thread

Don't know if I'm stumbled onto something, or if it's intentional, but I've noticed a couple times that if I register a slow backswing with perfect downswing, the ball hooks, even with a fade swing path. Conversely, if I have a perfect backswing with a slow downswing, the ball fades (a lot) regardless of wind/swing path. Tour clubs/right stick set-up.

Anyone know if there is a way to see/search Tourny's/Tours (ala TGC1) play events? I hope you don't have to move in/out of societies (or play career) to enjoy playing multiple events.

Re: The Golf Club 2 - Impressions Thread

What is the max AI players in a career? 250?

Re: The Golf Club 2 - Impressions Thread

What is the max AI players in a career? 250?

The game seems to list 10 players on a page.... the most pages I have seen is 25 (you being one of them).

So the highest I have seen is 249 AI players.

But it is weird, all the + handicaps (who should be the best players) I have never seen on any leader boards.

Also when you page through the handicaps make sense... getting lower as you go down the list...then at page 11 they get high again and then go down to page 25.... it is weird !

Re: The Golf Club 2 - Impressions Thread

Enjoying the game much more now that I understand the swing mechanics better.

I'm getting some wonky reads on the putting green though. For example, I will be on the green and the game will display that the putt is 17 feet away with a foot of elevation. But when I move the aiming cursor over the hole, it might say that there is 7 inches of elevation. Which one is correct? I've also had times where the grid shows no break, but then I putt and there was clearly a break. When I make my next putt, the grid clearly shows the break on my line from the previous putt.

Re: The Golf Club 2 - Impressions Thread

Now that I am 20 rounds in, here is my overall review of things that impact my overall score:

Good:

1. Like the variation of difficulty styles.

2. Course designer is such a cool feature.

3. The addition of societies was also a great touch this year.

Bad:

1. Putting - Poor. As someone who golfs 50+ rounds a year, this is the most frustrating part of the game. There is zero feel. What works on one round, goes away with the next time playing the same course. I would love to say that it will get better with practice, but I just cannot see myself getting this portion of the game down. Truly a frustrating experience.

2. Lack of a way to speed up your shots. Someone, please tell me that there is a way! Waiting on my shot to roll, and roll, and roll is very unpleasant.

3. Commentary. I know that this was not something that the team put much time into, but the sound has already been muted.

Overall, I have to give the game a 6.5 or 7.

Re: The Golf Club 2 - Impressions Thread

Played around with the different club sets today since you all have been discussing them; I wanted to see what that was all about (was just using Standard which is default).

Wow....Tour Clubs.

The Good: It's just like playing real golf! **** goes everywhere!!!

The Bad: It's just like playing real golf! **** goes everywhere!!!

I worked with The Tour Clubs for hours today on the range and then on my own designed courses and I was getting +20 type rounds and my best was +16. The Tour clubs offer a cool challenge but I think I'll roll with Player clubs for competitive play for a while and practice with tour clubs every now and again when I want to actually be 'myself' out there.

Loving the game so far. And yes, I love the menu changes and new features in the course designer!

Oddly enough I've experienced the opposite, my left stick was causing my swings to be way too erratic. Once I switched to the right stick my swing was 100 times better, staying within the red control cone for almost all of my shots using the tour club. I'll probably stick with player for now as I continue to familiarize myself with the game but intend on moving up to tour clubsfairly soon.

Re: The Golf Club 2 - Impressions Thread

May have found a major bug in this game tonight. I logged on to play round three of a four round society tournament and the first hole location seemed to start in the middle of the fairway instead of the teebox. After finishing the first hole, I looked at my scorecard and scores were entered for all 18 holes even though I had 17 holes left. Looking closer at my score, I noticed TGC2 combined my Hole #1 in round three with my score from round two. Basically I got 7+4 = 11.

As I have progressed through this round, I have noticed the game adding the score from each hole onto last round's scorecard (ex - Hole #2 - 3+3 = 6, Hole #3 5+5 = 10, etc.). Needless to say, I am +36 over after 9 holes because of this issue. Not sure if this is a known issue, but highly discouraging.

Also, the "swing glitch" is really acting up today. Last night, I had probably 2-3 glitchy swings per round of golf. Today, I have averaged at least one "swing glitch" on each hole. In some situations, I have had to move the thumbstick 4-5 times before I can even get a full swing with my player. This is using a brand new controller that isn't even two weeks old.

The flaws I am finding in this game are very concerning from a QA standpoint and make me wonder what other errors are hiding in this game.

Re: The Golf Club 2 - Impressions Thread

I'm definitely enjoying the game! Let me start off with that. I've been playing a ton. I've noticed a few issues though.

One seems to be a glitch where when the ball goes into the water and you are looking to drop, it doesn't always allow a drop along the ball path, but seems to have a line straight to the tee box. Definitely an issue since many times the ball flew over the fairway before going out and the drop wouldn't be too bad on the fairway.

The other issue is hopefully not a design issue. When my friends and I were in society and played an event, we were ready to keep moving onto the next one (like in Career mode), but were unable to because there was an active event still. The active event we had all completed, and the game even stated that. So we literally have to wait until the next time period to play next event. Really dumb to me. It works for large societies I get that, but if you have a few guys and want to roll through seasons you should be able to. If you're the administrator, you should be able to close out events, or end season whenever you want. That was the other issue...couldn't end season because an event was still active.

Don't want to nitpick, but these issues are likely easily fixed, and I can't be the only one to have noticed them.

The only other thing I would've liked is if you swing fast on your downswing AND hit perfectly within tight cone (which is super hard on Tour), it should give extra distance. A risk vs reward thing. What do you guys think?

I posted this the other day. Definitely are some issues with this game. I've even asked questions multiple times on Twitter, and my posts are not going answered. To be honest, does not seem the same transparent company I hyped up so much with TGC1. Hopefully I'm making some bad assumptions.

Re: The Golf Club 2 - Impressions Thread

@TheBleedingRed21: i just realised my mistake. im german. i meant from 9am to 8pm!

i tried the tour clubs last night. these are pretty tough. but i like the challenge. i cant go back to basic now. might try the "between" aka players clubs!
tour is pretty unforgiving. but at the same time it gives me the challenge i am looking for! the first par i played last night with tour clubs was so satisfying! felt like a little young bernhard langer!
