PGA TOUR 2K23 Impressions

Re: PGA TOUR 2K23 Impressions

It would make sense if they hired Patel to add something like those challenges to the game. I played 2K23 yesterday and got bored right away. It's like hit the ball and chase to hit it again. Rinse, repeat.

I wouldn't like 2K to use challenges for all of their games/cover athletes because it wouldn't be unique anymore and it would probably become obvious that they were reaching on some of the modes....but doing this for Tiger is a no-brainer in my opinion. Again, win by this many strokes in this tournament, hit this difficult shot this close to the hole, win this match by trailing by this much going into the final round: that has Tiger written all over it.

And one more thing I forgot to add that goes along with what we want to see in 2K25: I'd like to play against the CPU and see his shots.

As long as it's not going back to mini-Tiger like TW13, I'm for it.

Tiger challenges? So 2005.

2k needs a real career that lets you play on any course you want. Any course. This is idea of them dictating where you must play is stoopid.

Unless they drop the PGA Tour license, that won't happen. The whole reason they got rid of Solo Societies in 2K21 was because they implemented a more authentic PGA Tour career mode...one with more real events at more real courses. And then 2K23 doubled down on that with even more real courses and events.

It’s a pga tour game with pga tour courses. Not sure how that’s stupid.

Re: PGA TOUR 2K23 Impressions

Agreed Beach.

When I reached Level 50 with my golfer...that kind of did it for me for a while.

I like something you brought up. NBA 2K23 had The Jordan Challenge, and 2K24 has Mamba Moments. Maybe give us Tiger's Top Ten or something, where we have to hit a certain Par, beat this player head-to-head, or a quick one where you have to hit a difficult shot "this close" to the hole (NBA 2K23 had a quick one where you only had to hit "The Shot" over Craig Ehlo).

I would love for them to get the license for some legends as well like I've said before. But yes--do more with Tiger since that was supposed to be a big get for 2K.

I still go back and play Legends of the Majors from TW14. That mode added a tremendous amount of replay value when you got bored of career or tournaments

I did something similar last week, went to play some of the Quick Tournaments scenarios to get a few PSN trophies I hadn't played.

Re: PGA TOUR 2K23 Impressions

I have gone back and forth on whether I prefer EA or 2K. As much as I like EA and its visual appeal I just can't get over the blandness of its gameplay. 2K in my opinion plays such a better game of golf. It's mostly the short game that I believe separates the two games. EA it seems like all short game shots are the same. Out of the rough, from a bunker, short chips, flops, bump and runs. All the animations look the same and the ball has this weird flight and never seems to react realistically. With 2K there is a distinct difference in all of these from animations to the physics of each shot. Then there is putting where 2K's blows EA out of the water.

I just find myself going to 2K when I want to sit down and play a few rounds.

I look forward to the next 2K release and hope they build on what they have. Maybe offer a little more customization when it comes to the golfer and equipment.

Golf clubs:
- Different ball striking sounds to pick from
- More shaft color/pattern options
- Actually have 3 irons and 2 irons!
- Customizable heads

Golfers:
-Body weight differences
-Multiple swing animations

I can’t say that 2K has better animations than EA. Neither are perfect but EA’s address position for full swings is definitely better but not for short game I agree. The wrist position is awkward on 2K’s game & only looks acceptable on a ball above feet shot. Neither game feels dynamic due to the choice in mechanics. I can’t see 2K breaking their tempo style swing which I loathe but they may surprise me…🤞🏼

2k is far from perfect but though some things might seem counter intuitive I think they need to keep tempo in the game. You don't need to make perfect shots to score decently. Can't understand why they can't fix the wrist position though. If you don't like the way the mechanics play into shot results then just turn off the feedback.
Unity is capable of better graphics so long as they make the decision to only program for current gen and leave the PS4 behind.

If 2K would just allow created courses in a season, that's all I want.

Recreations of a specific course that take copy right seriously is more than likely the reason they don’t. Sad truth unfortunately.

It's sad it comes to that. You can create stadiums in other games MLB NBA and do what you want.
