Re: The Golf Club 2 - Impressions Thread

HB Studios made a post in their official forum tonight that they are breaking ties with Maximum Games (as suspected) and they will have a number of announcements detailing their plans going forward tomorrow at ~9:00 AM EST. They'll be more free to exchange information with their customer base, following the termination of their contract with Maximum Games going forth. One of the forum admins indicates that there will be a lot more information about where The Golf Club is going in this announcement tomorrow.

Can't wait to see what they say. Thank you kindly for keeping us updated!

It seems like I have to be online to use any of the user created courses. Is there any way to download these to my PS4 in order to be able to use these offline? One of my concerns is that the servers will go away sooner than I'd like and then the game would lose almost all of it's value to me and become unplayable.

Re: The Golf Club 2 - Impressions Thread

For some reason its real difficult to use a newer controller while playing this game. I can never hit anything straight using player clubs. Have been playing this since release with an older controller and it was perfect, but that controller doesn't work anymore so had to buy a new one and its a different game. Total shank fest even on putts. Anyone have the same problem or any kind of solution would be welcomed.

I assume this will jettison TGC2 ahead of JNPG at this point. I haven't played either yet, and waiting to hear/see gameplay comparisons as time goes on. Seems like good stuff.

I am a complete wait and see with regard to TGC 2019. Neither TGC 1 nor 2 did it for me, especially with 2's lacking multiplayer options and the odd lighting issues.

You will be a good barometer for how this game goes over, IMO. I don't kid myself into thinking I have a totally objective take on it because admittedly, I'm a fanboy of the game. I did, however, drop TGC 1 after JNPG released because I preferred the difficulty of the swing mechanism in JNPG to the one dimensional interface of TGC 1. The tempo element of TGC 2's swing is keeping me engaged for now and will hold onto me until TGC 2019's Early Access release.

I'll add you to my test group for market analysis... I hope you're willing to do this gratis?

I've noticed something similar. This is purely an uneducated guess but I think there must be something in older controllers that gets worn enough to prevent (or not sense) wiggle. My solution with newer controllers is to watch the controller stick once I start my swing. I won't say that there's anything particularly magical about that other than just causing me to be more aware of my thumb getting lazy when I don't look. Once I play a few holes looking, I find that I can do a round or so without looking and it's improved but it's never seemed to be a permanent fix. Though that could be that I don't have a ton of time to play other than on the weekends.

Interesting - I just recently got golf club 2 and I'm enjoying it. Got my handicap to scratch and upgraded to tour clubs.

I ordinarily don't "joystick" games but I'm enjoying this one. I'll be looking forward to seeing what the new game consists of.

Update, very odd but I just purchased a new black wireless controller and the swing is perfect. I was using a brand new white or as ive heard others call it an xbox one S controller and that thing was awful for the swing in the golf club but obviously fine for any other game. Not sure but maybe it is an input lag issue with the S controllers that doesn't exist with the original design controllers. Who knows but if anyone else is having this issue try this.

Now this is interesting...the controller that seems to be the most consistent for me is also a black one. My blue, red, and slate grey (Uncharted) are all fine but I notice more wiggle. Of course, the black is my original so it doesn't rule out age as the main factor but it is strange that your NEW black one is better.

Its crazy. I have tried 3 new white controllers and finally switched back to the black which I originally had but it just stopped working just last week. It was about 3 years old and I got it with my original xbox. I belong to tgctours so I play weekly online tournaments so I play quite a bit and the black controllers perform way better than the white. It has to be something to do with input lag or the design of the controllers. I know the game lags from time to time especially while playing online tourneys, plus the game is always connected to the internet. Not sure if there is a correlation there but very odd to say the least.

Need help!

Played Golf Club 1 when it first was released, I liked it but something about it I just couldn’t get into it overall. Just picked up Golf Club 2 and love the customization and most of the gameplay but can just not get a feel for putting.

It just feels like the ball rolls and turns really weirdly, it’s hard to explain but it always feels like I’m putting on glass and the ball is just sliding every where. Same thing with some of the green interactions on wedge shots and approach shots in general.

Is there any tips or tricks to make putting just a little less frustrating? I’m dying for a golf game I can really enjoy but the frustration level with the putting is going to drive me insane.

Re: The Golf Club 2 - Impressions Thread

I feel your pain with the concrete greens. About the only thing I can suggest is pay attention to the green speeds when selecting a course, and try to find some that are slower. Too bad you can't select green speeds, time of day, etc when starting a round.
