    Re: EA Sports PGA Tour Adds Oak Hill Country Club, Camera Views and Much More - Patch

    Can someone please do me a favor. I haven't started my 2nd career season, and decided to suck it up and do it and play all 4 rounds again. Sigh.

    I don't want to start the season unless I know Oak Hill is going to be in the PGA week. It's still showing Southern Hills. Can someone out there that is in between seasons or hasn't played one yet, go into the schedule in career mode and see if it lists Oak Hill or Southern Hills? Thanks in advance.

    I don't want to start the season if it's not there, I want to see how they present the PGA Championship with this new course, maybe a new video clip at the beginning and more info about Oak Hill as you're playing it, etc. I played Oak Hill earlier today but I'm guessing you don't get the full monty on the presentation side just playing a round by yourself in Quick Play.

      The putting cam and the zoom within 70 yards are massive game changers for me.

      I had a house rule that was very similar but I'm not going to lie. I have brutal self control and I cheated lots lol. Love that I can't with this new mechanic.

      The low cam along with the lip outs have completely made me fall back in love with putting. I tried no grid for a l9ng time but I was missing too many putts I shouldn't have that were out of my control because of the camera and after a while with the grid on putting just felt automatic. Not that I made everything but I mean there wasn't much to think about.

      With the low camera no grid I truly feel like I have control of what's happening.

      I hate to say how happy I am with this patch cause I know lots of people were left out in the cold still but man of man I am loving everything about this game right now.

        Totally agree, this very low camera is outstanding. No need for aids at all, no grids or beads, we can read the double or extreme breaks on tournament green. It really feels like sim, and take only a few seconds like in real golf. Well except if you're Patrick Cantlay... but if you're a normal human being who don't want to waste almost 5 minutes to line up a putt like him, you will be very pleased with this camera.

          Ok...you've convinced me. I have tried, very briefly, in 2k21/3 to go without the grid. This has me intrigued. I just seems if I can get it down it will be sooo much more realistic and fun. From what everyone is describing it's like getting down low on one knee and really reading the putt.

          I'm diving in.

            Interesting little tidbit from EA in a post they made about today's update: https://www.ea.com/games/ea-sports-p...ionship-update

            "In addition to these changes, we’ve heard community feedback about frames per second and a 60 fps Mode will be coming in-game in an upcoming patch."

            That might be the first official confirmation from EA we've had about 60 fps coming? I think all we'd gotten up to this point was word from creators like TheApexHound.

              I got ya, I checked with a fresh career mode. Here's some info on how the game is handling rotations:

              If started post-patch, the first PGA Tour season will be at Oak Hill. The second season will be at Southern Hills, Oak Hill for the third, and vice versa. Not sure if a pre-patch-started career mode in its first PGA season but not yet at the PGA will change from Southern Hills to Oak Hill due to the patch.

              I think for careers started pre-patch the rotation from the second season on applies, so the second is at Southern Hills, Oak Hill for the third, vice versa. So I think you'll have to wait until the third season to play the PGA at Oak Hill unfortunately.

              I get why they did it this way, the 1st season in career mode is supposed to be the 2023 season so why not make the 2023 majors happen then, but it does kinda screw over people who've already started their career mode and will have to wait until season 3 to play these new major courses. Perhaps some realism should've been sacrificed and the rotation should've started with the 2022 courses, if possible.

                It was in a community FAQ that was posted awhile back. Unsure if it’s still up now that the games out. But it’s excellent to here that it is indeed coming.

                  Re: EA Sports PGA Tour Adds Oak Hill Country Club, Camera Views and Much More - Patch

                  Update has increased my scores for definite now using no zoom & grids off. I like where the game is heading & can definitely play a Sim round with this game now. Maybe it’s me but with the fidelity of the courses I was expecting the greens to be more readable than they are with the new camera but misread a good few breaks so that’s not the case. Would appreciate if EA can get a flag In option when on the green as it helps me a lot on gridless putting on 2k23.

                    Update definitely got my scores higher. And rough is penal too as at Oak Hill, got a 33% lie where I could barely advance the ball 100 yds.

                      Also a nice touch to move the free 4 holes tournament from Arcade to Sim mode. I really like this.

                        "A 60 fps Mode will be coming in-game in an upcoming patch." Okay, now they've got my attention!! While I like the low putting camera option they've added, the game is still ultimately neutered by the lack of feel at 30 FPS. If they properly boost it to 60 FPS, with enough swing animation frames to go along with the higher frame rate, it will pull this game out of the idling realm in which it currently resides in my gaming world.

                        I'll never forget how much the 60 Hz vsync option changed PGA TOUR 2K21 for me on my Series X. It was a radical transformation for that game and I expect it to be no less for this one. Let's get that 60 FPS performance option in there first, and then we can start chipping away at them for turn-based multiplayer, more online tournament options, and more camera options. I now have some hope for this game!

                            I noticed that, they could be rotating daily which difficulties are the 4, 6, 9, and 18 hole tournaments which I would be down for.

                              Do you need to restart your career to get the majors rotations or will they automatically get into your current career?

                                Ya I really noticed this, the rough at Oak Hill was brutal. Many shots into the rough with lies in the 30-50% range, and could barely get back onto the fairway or hit the ball 100 yards. Great to see.

                                They keep nudging this game closer and closer. The new camera options have a lot of Sim people happy for sure. I also like the new thing they added to Follow shot camera, where when you are putting or as the ball is getting close to the hole from an approach shot, the camera zooms way in and actually adds to the excitement and suspense if the ball is close to the hole. Very well done indeed. And the lip outs have turned out to be very well done. My wife and I played for 6 hours last night and had a few lip outs that were beautifully and accurately done.

                                Choosing the amount of rounds in tournaments, allow two people sitting in a room together to play each other with their created player, and enable online turn play, and this is the best golf game in history. And the good news is, I'm confident all 3 are coming soon.
