    EA and 2k “house rules”

    What’s everyone’s house rules on both games to keep things as close to sim as possible? Since things have been a little dry lately, thought this might stir some good discussion.

    2k. No chipping on greens unless you would have to putt through fairway . No pitch shots with anything stronger than a pitching wedge. Back tees always. At least Medium Wind. At least Firm Fairways and Greens. Nothing slower than Green Speed 155. Legend 3 Click.

          I don't really have any house rules for 2K in terms of gameplay, although I essentially adhere to TGCT standards when I play (no chipping on the green from within 75 feet, or when the putting line is blocked by non-green surfaces, etc.).

          I do have a more "clean" screen in terms of the HUD I use. Elevation info is not on the marker, but is on the upper right, under the ball lie and club selection information. I turn off swing meters and such, and only get the swing feedback meter to show post-swing.

          The only extra rules or guidelines I really enforce upon myself are in career mode to keep things "realistic":

          - the fake U.S. Open rotates every year between Pebble, Torrey South, and Pinehurst No. 2
          - the "North Shore Open" event is played every year at Torrey North
          - the "Champions Invitational" event is played at Spyglass Hill
          - The "Knott Championship" is played at Payne's Valley
          - I must wear/use only clothing and gear from the brands I am sponsored by. Currently, I have Cobra for apparel (which means I wear Puma or Cobra items), and Titleist for clubs and ball
          - when I choose my next rival, it has to be the lowest ranked player in the FedExCup standings on the current tier. If I lose to a rival, I must pick that same rival again the following week to seek out revenge...haha

            Playing 2k21 for the Switch. Instead of playing the subpar career mode, I just play local rounds and match up the schedule with the real tour schedule. So example, I just played TPC Deere Run. I play simultaneously with real life and whatever the cut is, I have to make to play the last 2 rounds. I didn't make the cut. Whenever there is a round where 2k21 doesn't have as an official course, I just try to find one that is most similar in difficulty and play.

            Been doing this all year, and am really enjoying it.

                Use official controllers only. Don’t shout Sim play is where it’s at then dumb the game down with aftermarket controllers.

                  I have a few.

                  First, no Flop shots.

                  Second, no Finesse shots unless it is the default type.

                  Third, roll a d6 on sand shots. A 5 or 6 and I have to use the Blast out of the bunker.

                  This last house rule I really don't do. I have considered abolishing the Pick shot altogether.

                    EA. I have a set of house rules drummed up for when I get to the PGA Tour in my career, using most of them on the Korn Ferry Tour but not all.

                    - Difficulty: Sim + No Swing Meter + Putting Grid Off + No Putting Meter
                    - 50 AI Difficulty because it gives the most realistic scores
                    - I'll force myself to shape *all* shots, except putts of course. Right now in KFT I shape everything except approach shot types. I force drives to be shaped enough so that the game registers it as a Draw or Fade.
                    - I usually have to practice swing my shaped shots, so right now on the KFT I limit myself to 3 per shot. Will probably limit to 2 on the PGA Tour.
                    - For approach shots, I don't allow myself to take distance off of the highest on a shot type. If it's a big long or short of what I'd want, I either play a Finesse instead or try to hit over or underswing. The only exception to this is <90 yd shots where I have to take some distance off.
                    - I don't have many shot types right now, but for what I have I limit Flop shots to where it would make sense irl (bunker between me and the green, have a huge hill in front, etc.). In the bunker I limit Pick shots to if I have little green to run on or a huge upslope to the green. I'll probably place similar limits on Spinner when I get it, not sure if I'll ever use Hack unless the lie penalties get properly penal.
                    - I putt more conservatively, not letting myself blast short putts in the hole and have to play the slope.
                    - I limit my skill points to a more realistic overall. Right now 74 in the KFT and near the top of the standings, will give myself a bump for PGA to the low 80s depending on how I finish. Whatever skill points I can add after that I'll probably figure out some reward system where finishing high in tournaments lets me add some skill points. I'll avoid using specs unless I feel it is necessary to be competitive.

                    I think that's all l I have, I have no clue how well it will work on the PGA Tour but hopefully it gives me a good challenge. It may seem like a lot to keep track of but it doesn't really feel like it once I've used them for a tournament or two.
