Re: Pebble Beach Golf Links Available Now in PGA Tour 2K23
Is it added to your current schedule if you're not there yet or do you have to get to the next season before it's in career mode? (Haven't played yet this week)Comment

Re: Pebble Beach Golf Links Available Now in PGA Tour 2K23
I gotta give 'em credit there. The 8th hole was an abomination with that unsightly mass of rock protruding up across the fairway. I can't believe it got released like that, but they at least paid attention to the negative feedback they were getting, and more importantly, addressed it properly.Duke Football?

Re: Pebble Beach Golf Links Available Now in PGA Tour 2K23
They've been pretty good at sticking to their roadmaps...the problem is the way they are designed.
It shows things seemingly coming out in a certain order, but that doesn't seem to be the case all the time? Then they use the very vague "Season 2" or whatever, which is a 2-month timeframe. It's all very up in the air.
But they have been releasing things when they say they will, just not with any real specific dates given.Orbis Non SuficitComment

Re: Pebble Beach Golf Links Available Now in PGA Tour 2K23
I have played the official Pebble Beach now 4 times...2 rounds in career mode and 2 rounds in local play.
My stance has softened a bit, once the rocks were lowered on Hole 8. It does look and feel like Pebble, which is nice. Having another new career mode event is also a plus. The moving, crashing waves are neat, and actually make you feel like you're at the ocean.
One negative that was discovered that was not mentioned before is that the beach along the coast is not sand. One YouTuber (Gamer Ability) played around at Pebble, hit his ball down to the beach - which is in play in real life - and the ball slid across it like it was a cart path. The ball eventually went into the water. See it in action here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XisaFebGyaU&t=818s
Plus, there's still the fact that community designers made BETTER versions of the course well before this official one got released. I'd rather play those versions of the course than the 2K one. Those user-made ones don't have all the AT&T branding everywhere, which can't be turned off/removed in the official one, so the user ones allow for the full landscapes to be seen.Last edited by MrArlingtonBeach; 02-06-2023, 12:35 PM.Orbis Non SuficitComment

Re: Pebble Beach Golf Links Available Now in PGA Tour 2K23
This is the inherent issue. If there wasn't a course designer in game, then these courses would be more "acceptable" in the sense that we could assume that they did everything they could with the engine and have produced the most accurate course they can with the tools in their disposal
However, that is clearly not the case. When the fans of the game are designing better courses then the developers (For free!), how are we as the consumers supposed to get excited for anything relating to courses? They advertise Spyglass and Torrey Pines as big additions for Season 3... Yet I have no hope that they will look any better then the Spyglass and Torrey Pines re-creations that have been available since the first week of release, and in fact, have very realistic reason to believe they will look WORSE then the community available versions right now...Comment

Re: Pebble Beach Golf Links Available Now in PGA Tour 2K23
100% agree.
Payne's Valley is coming out soon here, too, as it's scheduled for a Season 2 release. But there's already a good LiDAR recreation of it in the game at this point. So it's kind of a big "meh" for me.
The only saving graces these "official" ones have is that they can possibly be used in career mode, either as real hosts of events (like Pebble and Torrey) or as part of 2K's curated list of courses that can be swapped in, or that they can be used as online matchmaking courses.Last edited by MrArlingtonBeach; 02-07-2023, 03:20 PM.Orbis Non SuficitComment

Re: Pebble Beach Golf Links Available Now in PGA Tour 2K23
Just to add...this is a video that a NextMaker made, evaluating all things that could be updated/fixed in 2K's official Pebble Beach. It actually seems this video was made at the request of the community designer that 2K hired before 2K23's release (the "Christian" fella that is mentioned a couple times) to give straight to the devs so they could get legit feedback directly from someone who knows what they are doing.
It was made before the rocks were dropped on Hole 8, but everything else is relevant.
Just goes to show how much better these real "official" courses would be if they let these folks make them.

Re: Pebble Beach Golf Links Available Now in PGA Tour 2K23
The best thing about the official courses that already have good community designed versions will be the ability to substitute them during careerComment
