Re: Pebble Beach Golf Links Available Now in PGA Tour 2K23

So is this 2K version preferable to any of the previously existing third party Pebble versions?

Specially blessed in any way?

I really didn't like anything about it. I like the game play for the most part but this is just another example of HB/2k not giving a rip. Supposedly this update fixed replays. Now I'm supposed to get excited about them fixing something that they messed up? I'll play this version as long as they keep the servers alive but never will pay full price for any further editions.

It has the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am signage and tournament structures. It will also fit into the career mode, adding another real-life event to the schedule. PGA 2K23 has a great number of real events...and they keep adding them, which is fantastic.

One technical thing they did add, is that there are rolling waves on the ocean, as well as waves crashing into the rocks on the shore. This wasn't in the game before...however, these moving waves are NOT available to users in the course creator. That said, the waves make a big difference, as you feel like you're on the ocean, and not just some large lake.

I haven’t played any of the other versions

It’s Pebble Beach and it does a good job of simulating playing at Pebble Beach, plus it adds the tournament to the career mode.

Played again & noticed the 18th shoreline bunker wall is wrong. Unless it’s been rebuilt & now looks this bad IRL.

Here's a good video from WhatAboutAmeobi, looking at the official Pebble Beach course, that sums up my feelings pretty well:

Pros: good to have in the game as an official course and to use in career mode, plays as you'd expect Pebble Beach to play, looks like how you'd expect it to for the most part.

Cons: looks sloppy in spots (fairway to green transitions, bunker sculpting), rocks along cliffs are not great, lack of attention to detail and missing the fine technical tuning that most "good" user courses have...and why not have one of the course designer NextMakers make the course?

I do look forward to being able to golf head to head against a pro. That's in correct or maybe I'm wrong there.

I have a good feeling you have something to look forward to. I thought I had seen that mentioned in one of the blogs that came out. If it hasn't then I am just guessing.

You will be able to ply against the pros. It would be nice to see the caddies on the tee box as well. Now just give the ability to move the ball on the tee box.

It looks like you'll be able to see the pros when they're hitting their shots, but they apparently walk completely off the scene when you're hitting yours. There are times in the gameplay video where your caddie, the pros and their caddies should be visible in the periphery, while you're lining up and playing your shot. They're all missing!?

I've been ranting about this for 22 years now. Would it be that much more resource intensive to have a golfer and two caddies standing around with minimal animation while you're playing your shot? I hardly think so when you've got thousands of gallery members looking on, most of which have some degree of animation.

I continue to be amazed at how they continue to miss this important element of the ambiance??

Im pretty sure they did this in Hot Shots Golf Out Of Bounds. I remember the CPU opponent standing near their ball with their caddy and their head would follow your shot in the air. Not just on the tee box but throughout the entire course.

Hot Shots Golf is one of the more underrated sports games of all time… fun, silly, but challenging at times and a nice representation of golf.

Watched a video from The Fried Egg about the routing at Pebble Beach...

...and I still can't seem to find those rocks on Hole 8.

Speaking of real courses if anyone is on Playstation and wants to play the definitive version of the course that kicks off Spring let me know. You can't search it.
