PGA 2K23 MyCareer/MyPlayer Questions? Ask Here

[ChaseB]

Hey y'all, like last time, feel free to ask questions about these two modes. I'll try to get some answered by the devs when I can. There is a hard cutoff for the questions for Friday (night).

Thanks!

Re: PGA 2K23 MyCareer/MyPlayer Questions? Ask Here

Since there was a bit of confusion last time, could you please ask:

- Are MyCareer leaderboards fixed, with scores and leaderboard positioning no longer changing when players logout and log back into the mode? (AKA, is the career mode leaderboard glitch fixed?)

- Will MyCareer PGA Tour schedules be customizable? Can fake events (the ones not held at real-life courses with real names/sponsors) be edited, so that custom courses created by the community can be added to the schedule in place of fake events? If so, can the names of the events be edited as well? And how will AI scoring work at events that have been edited?

Is it possible to play/be in same group as a Pro in MYCareer mode?

Ex: Be in final pairing of tournament on Sunday with Tiger Woods

Is MyCareer still essentially just one season?

- Are sponsorships in MyCareer mode any different than how they were in 2K21, where you'd simply unlock gear by accomplishing certain feats? If you're sponsored by, say, Callaway, can you still play Titleist clubs, or will being sponsored actually mean you have to use/wear the brands you "endorse".

- How are pros handled in MyCareer mode? Kind of ties into the previous question by countryboy...but how are the real golfers used in the mode? Are they simply "rivals" and cutscenes like they were in 2K21, or have they been added more extensively?

- How will caddies be used during play? Are they simply visual, or do they factor into gameplay at all?

- What additions have been made to MyCareer to make the mode more immersive? In 2K21, the mode got stale after awhile, since it was just the same thing over and over again...play tourney rounds, defeat rivals, unlock sponsor gear, repeat.

- For MyPlayer...how does unlocking of gear/clothing/equipment go? Is it again just using VC (in-game currency) to unlock? Will DLC items be available to be unlocked via VC if you don't pay for the Clubhouse Pass, like it was in 2K21?

- Any new gear/apparel brands in 2K23?

- I believe it's been said that the skills of a MyPlayer are taken with them online...does this mean users have to play as their MyPlayer in societies as is, with all their skills and perks loaded? Can societies level the playing field at all by locking out MyPlayer skills/badges/etc.?

-Is the full roster of pros that was just announced the only ones that will be in Career Mode, or will each event list a full field of pros as in 2k21, in addition to the playable pros?

-If there are additional pros other than the playable ones, how will their shots be handled from our point of view? Will we see a ghost ball of their shots, or just their scores? How will these pros appear to us in a playoff, when we're tied with a non playable pro?

This is my #1 question by far. If I don't at least offer the option to play along with one of the featured pros in Career mode, it will render Career mode useless to me.

And with these questions Golfnut67, you and countryboy have tag teamed to pose every career mode question I have! If the answers to all of your questions are "YES", I will probably be down to playing one Society! I think there's about a 3% chance of that happening though.

Can you play a season with a pro? Or are you looked with your myplayer.

Re: PGA 2K23 MyCareer/MyPlayer Questions? Ask Here

I would like to see deeper and ACCURATE stats as I progress through Career Mode. That might be too much to ask given how poorly implemented they were in 2k21. One simple improvement: let us see how we performed at a hole (birdie, par etc) in previous rounds of the same tournament. Simple but immersive.

I'll post this even though the question cutoff was last night since it's not a question. I've seen this come up in the Playable Pros thread, too, to which Beach replied.

I could of course be wrong but the way I read it, you cannot, but can play as them in other various modes.

The term "casual" gets used a lot and applied to this, but I prefer to play as professionals and not play as myself because I'm not a pro. I don't play The Show's Road to the Show, 2K's MyPlayer, etc, because I know I can't be out there with those guys; but I do like knowing how pros play and replicating their style by using them in a video game. That's why I wish we could play a career as a pro in PGA Tour 2K23 as unpopular as that wish might be.

Will get back to this when the embargo lifts.

So you've already got the answers, but you can't publish them until after the embargo date?

Just curious...can you share when the embargo is going to lift?

I got answers to some of the Qs, but yes, that's correct.

Just curious...can you share when the embargo is going to lift?

Next week at some point.
