    Re: PGA TOUR 2K21 August 6 Streaming Content Thread

    Is there overswing now?

    Apex videos just kept showing 100% power (no 101, 99, 103, etc) -- at least for the few minutes I watched

      I thought I have seen 101% and 98% in some of the videos...not necessarily on ApexHounds, but some others. I know in the 14-minute HB official video, Shaun West hit a 101% shot.

        Ugh. I figured that would be the case online but in a 1-player career mode that’s ridiculous!!

          Agreed...think some tweaking of all the difficulty settings will need to be done to get realistic scoring, to go along with realistic gameplay.

            Just saw this on the TGC Tours forums:

            "At the top of your backswing a 1 second pause through a 4s pause will always produce exactly 96% power. Verified at RespawnTV."

            Hopefully that gets fixed.
            HB just verified that this actually isn't a bug....uh oh.



            Twitch Prime 11BC2: See if this Set gives you 96% on slow plz lol
            Twitch Prime11BC2: I really want HB to see this SLOW over and over so they fix it
            hb_craigc: There's nothing to fix 11
            Twitch Prime11BC2: I was half playing and half serious, but @hb_craigc Are you serious ^?
            hb_craigc: If players want to go a chart out how to play courses at 96% swing power, and then are abelt o perform their swings perfectly - all the power to them. That's my personal opinion.

              That thread also has a video of someone's "first Ace in 2k21"?

              wtf?

              Already getting aces in a game that hasn't even been released?

                I think the player that got that ace is one of the content creators/streamers that 2K sent a preview copy to.

                  hmm..

                  I guess.. I sure hope he was on super max easy no brainer mode..

                  I've been playing Perfect Golf for years (not even on the hardest settings) and a couple thousand hours and I think I have maybe 3 Aces so far (as it should be).

                    Few things that are huge wins. I'm sure some of these were known.

                    1. Clubs have their own attributes.
                    2. Leaderboard consisted of real players NOT in the game. (i.e. Si-Woo Kim and Graeme McDowell)
                    3. You can change your name, so it's not your PSN. Thank. God.

                      It seems like most of these streamers are playing on pro-am or pro difficulty levels, so yeah...basically no higher than medium difficulty. TheApexHound played one hole on legendary, and it looked quite difficult. The white sweet spot section on the swing meter was super small.

                        I have to say, watching more career mode gameplay, these real-life pro cutscenes are going to get old fast. I like the idea of the rivalry system, but watching Gary Woodland randomly hit a pitch shot close, after watching Matt Kuchar do the same thing a hole previously, is just kind of a waste.

                        At least you can skip them.

                          This releases this month still, yeah?

                          For me - we can skip right to release and get some normal users hands on it and the real information will flesh itself out quickly.

                          Excited to hear some thoughts from the group here when you all buy it and give it a couple weeks.

                            Two weeks from tomorrow.

                            I am still very much on the fence of even buying the game (especially at the $60 price tag).

                            I am liking a lot of what I see, but it still seems to be missing something for me when it comes to single player career. Not to mention none of today's info shows anything about online multiplayer or societies.

                              I'm just getting some shocking news... I saw in Seamount4Life's stream that ALL Public Online Matchmaking matches are going to be set (locked) at Pro difficulty, in which putt previews are enabled.... (sigh). Do I want to play a match with putt previews, a ridiculous shot aid btw, enabled? No! It's not so much that I mind the Pro, but do we need an overly generous aid of that magnitude in "Pro" difficulty?

                              It will take public matchmaking off the table for me.

                                Is that an error or misinterpretation?

                                How on Earth could they think that's a good idea?

                                And "putt preview" -- I'm sorry - that shouldn't be in the game at all.
