Re: The Golf Club 2 - Impressions Thread

Awesome great to know thank you!
Can I do the same if I wanted to play someone from a pc or Xbox ?

No, cross-platform play is not possible, at present. I think we'll see it in the future though, although I don't think it will happen until the possible release of The Golf Club 3. It's looking like Perfect Parallel is planning to release a cross-platform playable version of Jack Nicklaus Perfect Golf that will support Windows 10 and XBox One cross-play. I'm pretty sure we won't see that until next year though.

It is true that any TGC 2 course, regardless of which platform it was created on, is playable on any other platform, which is pretty cool, IMO.

I believe that that is correct. That's why I was asking if it was possible for cross platform play.
It's a very cool feature to have all these courses from all the platforms indeed. Too bad we can't play against them though.

You can thank Sony and MS for that....

Re: The Golf Club 2 - Impressions Thread

I really do wish that HB Studios would just concede the need to require XBox Live Gold and Playstation Plus for online multiplayer. If Everybody's Golf on the Playstation 4 requires Playstation Plus for head-to-head multiplayer, I see no reason why HBS can't do the same for The Golf Club 2.

The gimped multiplayer that we have performs so poorly and with such limited options that very few play it anyway. With XBox Live Gold and Playstation Plus handling the connectivity, and making at least a matchup lobby possible, the developers could concentrate on gameplay issues and quit trying to nurse this overwhelmed arrangement that have now. Those who truly want and thrive on multiplayer would be more than happy to pony up the subscription fees for Gold and Plus.

Re: The Golf Club 2 - Impressions Thread

That would be sweet I agree.
But at least I can play against my buddies ghost with turn order on and it's kinda like playing multiplayer 😉

Re: The Golf Club 2 - Impressions Thread

They really need to patch it so you can play local versus with your created characters. That's a huge reason the wife and I aren't playing it near as much as we would. It gets old pretty fast having to watch each other play tournaments solo.

Re: The Golf Club 2 - Impressions Thread

Hoping someone can jump in here and answer some of these questions for me, if possible. Loved TGC, just grabbed TGC2 this weekend and am already enjoying. Just wondering about a few things.

1. What level do you need your clubhouse to be in career mode to replicate something close to the PGA tour? (four majors, lots of events, etc)

2. At what point should you rename the AI golfers to represent actual golfers? Is it best to wait until the field is larger (I think that happens at some point, right?) or should you do it from the start? I believe I read elsewhere it's best to wait until you can see their handicaps, then rename them based on that by using world rankings so the better players finish higher, etc.

3. Will patrons sit in the stands that are on certain courses? I love that patrons now exist, and I love that certain courses have stands (just haven't used one in career yet).

Basically, I want to get as close to setting up a PGA type career mode as I can in terms of many events, four majors, etc.

Re: The Golf Club 2 - Impressions Thread

There are 40 plus pages now, anyone know if the marble on glass greens have been addressed. I got away from the game because any greens above medium speed rolled incredibly fast.

Figured out this one as a "no", sadly.

They still roll pretty fast for putts, but I do find that it's now possible to hold an approach shot on them. You can actually fly the ball to the green now and not have to worry about playing bump & run, in most cases. A designer still has to be careful about pin placement and slope severity on Firm/Fast courses... there are some out there that look great, but I still find unplayable.

There has been some talk among the devs that this might come later in an update, but I wouldn't put a lot of stock into it at this point.

Level 8 will get you 40 events, I think.

Wish I could help you here, but I haven't touched Career mode. I think I'd wait until I saw some trends among them before I renamed them based on what you've read already though.

Re: The Golf Club 2 - Impressions Thread

Does anyone else think that TGC 2 will be the last of the TGC series?
