    HB was a decent indie company starting out and was really engaging with that community. That quickly changed after getting some success. I guess they forgot their roots. It’s a shame.

      It really has never been the same since Anthony Kyne departed.

      Whatever happened that led to that and/or around that time period seems like it was perhaps a key inflection point in the vision for the organization.

        Interesting you say that, as I saw this tweet a few weeks ago.

          The replies and suggested tweets are funny - lol

          Most all of them are some variety of "2k ruined it", "we want you back", "Might be more popular but not better", on and on

          AK is a funny one. He used to go get into it with many of us on the Perfect Golf forum in defense of TGC. I always hoped he was drunk when doing that, as it was otherwise a strange look for a developer to go onto another company forum and start mixing it up with folks.

          That said, it did show you how personally involved he was and the level of care and concern he had about "his baby"...

          That is all missing now with HB/2K (and even the Maximum games era for 2019 also)

            One thing I also loved about Anthony was how he would debate you and try to convince. He would make assertions and arguments and defend his case.

            He'd PM you and really want to have dialogue and, from what I could tell, it was honest good faith interest in understanding your different perspective on their decisions or designs, etc.

            Once he left is, perhaps coincidentally, when the HB forum mods started just resorting to banning people who weren't all over their jock about how amazing their game was.

              How much of the current game is HB responsible for? I know there are new animations and difficulty levels but it seems very much like the previous versions. How much has 2k done as far as the game itself goes?

                To me, 2K's biggest influence is felt via the additions of all the officially licensed stuff. The real courses, golfers, tourneys, gear, clothes, clubs, etc. None of that stuff was part of the game until they came on board.

                  2K is just the publisher. HB Studios is still the developer.

                    Well it was fun while it lasted. It’s not worth my $30. Requested a refund from steam due to the broken career mode and the inability to fix it since they tied it to online.

                    Maybe I’ll try next release. Disgraceful release.

                      Yeah, the career mode in this game is such a wasted opportunity.

                      On a related note, I did push through another 2K Support ticket in regards to the issues I saw with the changing winners in career mode, and I actually got a response that said that they have "been able to collect enough info about this issue to notify the development team, and they're currently looking into it."

                      So...maybe a fix could happen? But honestly, who knows?

                        It's somewhat shocking that a PGA branded game has an awful career mode.

                        You'd think that would be one of the primary focus areas given the branding.

                          The real-life Players Championship reminds me of how effed up career mode is.

                          Playing in the last group, I came to 17 on the final round of TPC Sawgrass one shot back of the lead, competing with two other players. I hit my tee shot off the top of the wooden barrier surrounding the green and the ball went into the water. I made a double bogey and lost the tournament by three. Disappointing, but a cool moment nonetheless to lose in an iconic way.

                          Or not.

                          When I checked the scoreboard later, I actually lost by six because some player who wasn’t high on the leaderboard showed up after the fact. Ugh.

                            So we have to assume the HB staff simply don't play the career mode, right?

                            I mean -- wouldn't this stuff drive them insane also?

                            (one would hope)

                              So HB is responsible for the new animations around and on the greens? Good job on that. So HB makes the game and 2k tells them not to answer any questions same as what Maximum did before? Customer Service sucks.

                                I feel it is a solid golf game but it is hard for me to understand how career mode is so poor. PGA on Sega Genesis had leaderboards. Seems like something PGA2K21 could clean up. Game has been out since last August. This should be working properly by now.
