Re: PGA Tour 2K23 MyPlayer and MyCareer Details And Early Impressions

I read/heard someone say that default "Fast" greens in 2K23 are now somewhere in the 150 range, whereas it used to be in the 160s.

That be the case then they need to reduce the rollout a bit on the putts.

Couple problems I have.

Crowd is still awful. EA's last effort was far superior even had people walking around.

Should any drive come out of heavy rough ever?

Chipping is improved but the animation is jerky especially the downswing. I don't need the animation to match how far I draw back the club.

Putting looks stabby.

I see some complaints about trees and bushed not swaying in the wind guess they forgot about the dancing trees in the earlier versions.

All in all I like the golfer animation the new cut scenes and the caddies to name a few things. Would have liked to see playing partners and their caddies on the tee but one thing at a time I guess. So it is an incremental improvement. If they ever made a perfect golf game who would need to ever buy another?

There are a few videos out there in career mode you do see your playing partner in certain scenes, but yea not frequently enough.

Haven't watched this, but it's almost 40 minutes of Respawn specifically talking about MyCareer:

My biggest issue with the game and its been this way for awhile. If you hit it into thick rough, it should sit there very quickly and not bounce a couple times and then roll another couple yards. I get the textures don't give you much depth, but the physics should portray said thickness.

Something I noticed watching respawns latest video. Sounds like you can hear cheers from adjacent holes while you play. Not sure if this is just because of the way he edited the video or not, but that would add to the atmosphere if it were in.

Re: PGA Tour 2K23 MyPlayer and MyCareer Details And Early Impressions

So...was watching another MyCareer video, and the user went into the "Swap Courses" screen to change the host course of an event in the schedule.

I noticed that there was a "note" on that screen about how mid-round and pro highlights are not available at "non-Official" courses. Maybe this means we can use courses outside of the ones 2K curates, since "official" courses are any of the ones that are real, or that NextMakers design? It does seem to be perhaps an indication at least that "non-official" courses can be used in some capacity...

Can you swap out courses for the majors? They’re all generic in the game, so it makes sense it should be doable.

Yes...at least some of them?

Look here: https://youtu.be/Gzx7_MAYaYU?t=355

In PGA 2K23, the equivalent of The Masters is "The Legend Championship". That looks to be at a clear "replica" of Augusta, called "Long Grove Golf Course". But in terms of swapping the course, there's a pencil "Edit" icon next to it on the name when it's highlighted, meaning it is a course you can swap out.

He also scrolls past the the "Northwest Open" (aka the US Open) at "Chestnut Hollow", and that seems to be editable, too.

HOWEVER...it seems that the "Golf Club Championship", which is the game's equivalent of the PGA Championship, appears to be hosted at TPC Boston...and is NOT editable...

He did not make it to whatever The Open Championship is in the game (I think it was something like the Royal Championship in 2K21), but I would assume that it would be editable, as the only real "links" course in the game is The Renaissance Club, and that's already the host of the Scottish Open. So one would assume that it's a fictional course hosting the fake Open.

ApexHound gets into a playoff in career mode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hisZGKCmsUE

Seems there's plenty of ghost break on the greens here...at least on hole 2.

Pro is too easy for him noticed the speed errors not punished nearly enough. Drives go much too far way too much bounce on the fairways. I guess the course creators will have no choice but do 8000 yard courses.

Re: PGA Tour 2K23 MyPlayer and MyCareer Details And Early Impressions

Maybe it's ApexHound's internet, but get gets a ton of disconnects and has issues with shots not getting recorded correctly when the game craps out. Hoping it won't be a sign of things to come for how the servers will work at launch...

100% agree with this. He had a very fast approach on a sidehill lie on Hole 14 that ended up on the green, within 25 feet of the hole. He made that putt for birdie. That ball never should have been on the green, no matter the difficulty, IMO.

Also...what's up with how the event ended? He won, then didn't? Game crashed again for him. And he was the only one in the playoff to birdie a 293-yard par-4 hole? And the final replay showed him putting for bogey?!?!

I am not thrilled to see this. That finish was an absolute disaster.

Sure you saw the bogey turned birdie in a prior video.

Yep...ugh.

And this 100% seems to confirm that you need to again be online always in order to play the "offline" career mode. That stinks.
