    Re: PGA TOUR 2K21 Gameplay Video (IGN)

    So "coming soon" apparently didn't mean yesterday...still no course list.

    Also, UFC 4 just released a trailer and their release date: Aug. 14.

    So the week before PGA 2K21 comes out, UFC 4 is released. And the week after PGA 2K21 comes out, Madden NFL 21 is released. Plus, the highly-anticipated Tony Hawk Pro Skater 1 & 2 remake comes out 2 weeks later.

    HB/2K may want to step up their approach to marketing this game, given all the competition they have in the weeks surrounding their game's release. These little "sizzle" clips that feature next to nothing in terms of information or gameplay will get immediately lost in the shuffle as these other bigger games start to promote their products.

      It really is perplexing isn't it? I just can't believe that 2K would be a part of such a clumsy release promotion!? As for the other games you mentioned, they'll have some potential impact on PGA TOUR 2K21 getting lost in the noise.

      I remember when I used to pre-order Madden and keep a vigil for the UPS truck to deliver it. Now I wait for it to go into the EA Access vault and play one season with my Panthers, and I'm done. I'll put it through the motions during early access weekend, but that's before the football season and my football hormones haven't kicked in yet. I only played Madden 20 for an hour and a half before I'd seen enough of it. It might be one of the worst 2 or 3 Madden's I've ever played, and I'm hearing 21 isn't shaping up much better.

        HB just has too much involvement in everything still. Gameplay, they're not bad. But they're trash at everything else.

          Yeah the game looks decent even on Unity and the game play is OK with a few small problems but overall I still like the game.
          As far as their marketing goes they're like the guy who stayed out all night drinking and shows up 5 minutes before their tee time. This release has to be better than the last time I would hope.

            They've still got five and a half weeks to get something more substantive out there. It's obvious they aren't doing the developer diaries like the did with TGC and TGC 2... those were well produced and informative.

            I don't think we're going to know anything worth knowing until one of the devs, probably Shaun West, takes on a you tube streamer (preferably one like Respawn or JimGem, who knows something about golf gaming, in live multiplayer. I still think that's going to happen, but I suspect it's going to be TheApexHound again. He did okay with TGC 2019 in a live stream with Shaun West, but he clearly doesn't know golf or golf gaming quite as well as Respawn or JimGem.

              You can't convince me that with the PGA being the only major sport currently playing, that if the PGA2K21 game were out right now, it would have a much better chance at doing well vs. releasing in August. I understand a lot goes into that decision and it may or may not have been possible to release earlier, but with no major releases currently and being smack in the middle of summer with golf having the spotlight to itself to some extent, it would make so much sense for the game to be out right now.

              But, as others have pointed out, nothing about this announcement or roll out has been even remotely sensible.

                I really dont think the advertising / announcements and what not are up to HB. With the original TGC HB was very very open and engaging with news / updates / answering questions on the forums. Since they have partnered with other entities all that has disappeared. The one game launched without a release date just kinda showed up and sent them into scramble mode. I will say there has been much more advertising for this release than previous ones, but the lack of news / updates is kinda disturbing and disappointing.

                  for me they need a new modern game engine and more official content before i'm satisfied. TW13, 14, 06 and 07 are better games IMO.

                    I'm sure there was a reason but the 2k involvement was unnecessary. In the videos I've watched not impressed.

                      "BUILD YOUR MYPLAYER & DREAM COURSE
                      Create and personalize your MyPLAYER with equipment and apparel from brands you love. Design your ultimate course with 1,000s of custom options.*

                      *Course Designer is not available on the Nintendo Switch."

                      Even better? The Switch version is still listed for $60 on the site. Fewer features, same cost. Nice.
                      Wait a minute, really? I had planned on buying the Switch version but now I’m rethinking it.

                        New info about the game in the golf digest. Course mapping and 6 difficulty levels for the players with mix and match options between them.

                          It shocked me to read that they were going with six levels of difficulty, but I welcome it! If all six can be used in online matchmaking, that's going to thin the player pool considerably!

                            2k must have paid for the drone.

                              Im intrigued again, six difficulty levels and customization is great, but man this marketing has been awful. This type of info should’ve been revealed day 1.

                                Shaun West (the game's producer) spoke to this on the 2K forum thusly:

                                "We're not quite ready to share information about the post launch plans but there will be additional support after release. You'll have to wait a bit for more details as we're continuing to focus on the rollout for release on August 21. The game is looking and playing fantastic though and I can't wait for everyone to get their hands on it."
