I don't mind "connected" as long as it's not almost useless without it.

In the case of 2k/HB golf though, I don't like how the course creator has been holding things back (like pot bunkers and overall more variety in the look/feel of courses). I hope they figure that out somehow.

Maybe the back end and overall architecture just needs/needed to be overhauled and modernized.

Don’t get me wrong, connected is fine. It’s MUST BE connected that bothers me,

I don’t want any courses requiring online to play . ESPECIALLY AUGUSTA. Then we don’t truly hold the keys to the game, EA does.

Wonder whether they’ll fix the leaderboard and career mode bugs. I’ll buy if - and only if - that’s addressed.

I sure hope so. Rory may have been bare but at least it’s small things worked after 2 months

I like the benefits of games being connected. Really doesn’t bother me, other than how it totally dorks up Quick Resume.

It’s every single sports game. That ship sailed. It really shouldn’t even be a topic, as it will be, because that drives other features gamers like, and features publishers like.

The problem with 2K21 (and maybe this is only really an issue for them, given all the user created content that's housed on servers and not in players' hard drives) is that if the servers are ever down, NONE of the created courses are available. At all. And that's the biggest appeal of the game.

Imagine you're stuck playing just the 15 real courses in the game and a few that were designed in TGCT19 that got ported over as "HB Official" courses. That's not a fun experience...and it happened plenty of times during 2K21's life cycle, because their servers for this game are hot garbage. The only other thing you can do is design, which is nice, because playing the official courses in 2K21 gets old fast.

At least the 15 real ones are on disc, and while it’s not the same, the workaround is creating your own and not publish them. Then you can play ‘‘em offline if my memory is correct.

Well, you can play courses you haven't published offline, yes. And you can playtest courses you're working on in the designer, too. But you can't play anyone else's courses.

So if you don't design courses at all, you'll have nothing else to play other than the official ones as local matches when the servers are down. No societies, no career mode even. Nada.

Exactly, big downside.

But at least your created courses will live the test of time. I put on a lot of time creating my local par 3 so it’s nice to not be dependent on servers for that.

2K/HB must be thrilled, Justin Thomas winning the PGA.

Amazingly, they actually sent a timely tweet about it!

Re: It now seems logical we will get PGA Tour 2k23 this year

Yep, I'm sure they are. I can see it coming tomorrow or this week for one last promo push for the 2 year old game:

"JT ROCKS the PGA with a win at the PGA Championship!"

Ugh. I hope they don't do this.

Arlington, are you saying 2k actually tweeted about it? Can you post?

At least it was a "normal" tweet, as opposed to the cringey tones they had in the run up promotion before 2k21 released.

It was have been gold if they had a picture of JTs PS2 model in their game with the massive hat and hot dog putter on the green below the tweet though. [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]🤣🤣🤣
