    If you swing up and to the right of course you will miss your target. Im talking about 2k and how if your downswing tempo is fast or slow it also effects your ball flight. So in EA once you master a straight up and down swing the game will be to easy.. So basically day one we will be shooting under par on every difficulty

      I thought the dev made a birdie to go 2 up so they didn't bother to show Apex' putt because he had lost either way

        Is there no Tempo component?

        For some reason I thought they were doing that this time

          Another thing I picked up during my second viewing:

          There's a shot during the phase where the dev was upgrading his character. It showed on the right a graphic that had "Pebble Beach, Chapter 1: Exploration".

          I assume this is the "mastery" thing that they have mentioned a bit? There are objectives with the chapter:

          - Complete a round at Pebble Beach
          - Cover a total distance of 6817 yards using Drive shots
          - Eagle the 2nd Hole

          You could hit the "triangle" button to see more objectives, too.

            Nope...see here:



            They are both -7 teeing off on Hole 9. They both hit fairway off the tee, and then get the GIR. And then poof, it just transitioned from the dev talking to Apex saying they tied at -7.

            We never see any putts on the Hole 9 green.

                NOPE. The dev said there is natural and different ball flights for each golfer only. Ill play the ten hour trial and hope hardest mode can be challenging but 80% sure its back to 2K for me.. Guys.. They even used the same club sounds from Rory basically. Go and compare, i think they just changed the tone so it wasn't exactly the same. All their time was spent on the 30 courses and generic career mode cut scenes is my guess. I mean , how do you not even have 3 click at launch

                  Yeah, I really don't get what is so challenging about 3C to not have it at launch.

                  Like, just plug in the Rory one, no?

                    Positive notes is the commentary will be decent in my opinion from what they said. Also the graphics are pretty and maybe they can build on that and give us a blend of this and 2k next year..

                      So...wait...tempo has NO effect in this game at all? Just the directional path of the stick affects the direction the ball goes (along with shot type and shape)? If so, wtf?!

                        From the EA PGA web site FAQs:

                        What impacts your shot?

                        There’s a reason players and caddies talk before their shot to best achieve success on the course so you’ll experience this in the pre-shot decisions you’ll have to make for a great shot. The challenge of your shot appears in a split between pre-shot decisions like club and shot types, with swing execution and placement based on course dynamics. This way you’ll be thinking more “golf” and less “golf swing” only.

                        A variety of factors like club and shot type all impact your shot but most of all, course dynamics and ball behavior like wind, altitude, terrain reactions, ball dribbling, and more will impact your shot. The full list of aspects that impact your shot are listed below
                        • Club
                        • Shot type
                        • Shot shape
                        • Slope of the terrain
                        • Velocity & spin reduction from adverse terrain (like rough)
                        • Golfer, club, and ball attributes
                        • Power boost
                        • Swing execution
                        • Wind
                        • In-flight Spin Control
                        • Altitude
                        • Ball Reactions depending on terrain type and course Conditions
                        • Ball dribbling


                        I don't see Tempo in there, but it could be part of "Swing execution"?

                          I think it's just the same slight overswing/underswing mechanic they've always had.

                            Not if I understand what hes saying correctly. I pray they at least give us diagonal swing on the stick like Tiger 14 had. Straight back and up is way to easy

                              I’ve actually picked up the PC version of 2K23 in last couple days and to be fair it’s definitely superior to Xbox Series X version. Had three enjoyable rounds at different tracks which is more than I’ve done on console this past month.
                              I strongly prefer the gameplay of the PC version of 2K23 over my XBox Series X. I had to cut the res back to 1440p to maintain 60 FPS, but still looks pretty good. The important thing is it's much easier to feel the swing with the steady 60 FPS my PC delivers versus the 40 to 60 FPS I get on the Series X.

                              After watching this playthrough video today, I'm more concerned that EA Sports golf isn't going to require nearly as much of a tempoed, proportional stick input as I'd hoped it would. If that's the case, I don't think the 30 FPS cap on the consoles is going to be as much of a handicap as I originally thought.

                              I still think it will lend itself to more of a the feeling of "swinging underwater at 30 FPS, which for me will put a bit of a damper in it. The game looks great though. I'll have a decision on it after the trial period. That's the only way I'll get an answer about whether the swing interface is going to be too flicky for my liking.

                                Funny to hear him explaining "no randomness"
                                For a split second there I thought he was about to say:

                                "No randomness...like in Rory"

                                There was a tiny pause and I was thinking... "Will he SAY IT!?? Say RORY! Do it!!"
