PGA Tour 2K23 MyPlayer and MyCareer Details And Early Impressions

[jr86]

Can someone explain to me why in NBA2k how practically any court in the world whether it's from Turkey/Spain the US etc can be perfectly replicated in the designer and used as an expansion team in the MY NBA mode and 2k seemingly doesn't bat an eyelid for fear of copyright or being sued but wants to 'Vet' the courses we swap out for fear of this exact issue....

Because no other NBA video game holds the license to those courts.

EA has the “exclusive” license to use certain courses in their game they are releasing in competition with 2K

Hmm not sure that's correct, I'm pretty sure EA holds the rights to MSG but that doesn't stop me replicating and sharing it on NBA 2k?
But if what you are saying is true then it will be simply be the ones EA holds the rights too and not pretty much every RCR?

Then I don't know. I didn't know EA had the rights to MSG as I don't dabble in the NBA games.

My biggest hang-up with the whole 2K-curated list of "approved" courses in career mode is that 2K touts its course designer, a feature that sets the game apart from the competition, yet you cannot use the courses you make in it in career mode.

Seems like a way to neuter the designer, removing what could have been a really nice way to allow players to get even more mileage out of their personal creations. Instead, you have to rely on 2K/HB to keep the list updated frequently, and to include courses that you actually want to add in to the schedule.

Here's CrazyCanuck's look at career mode:

The more I see of career mode the more disappointment I feel. There are a couple nice additions/updates, but everything else seems the same as it was before, or is just too silly or unrealistic.

The rivals thing is nonsensical - you beat your rival with a mix of Stableford and Match Play? Um, OK? You're always paired with your rival no matter what, too. Also, they said that after you beat all your rivals, you just start over and you go through them all again...just weird. I wish this rivals thing would go away. It may actually be more annoying and silly in 2K23 than it was in 2K21.

It also seems like everyone will immediately turn off the pro highlights again...Canuck didn't show any, and the ones seen in other videos still have problems. I've seen the wrong score/shot shown again, watched highlights of putts where they never show the ball, etc.

And even the NextMakers are sounding kind of disappointed on how they feel about career mode...when the biggest improvements mentioned in a career mode video are that the trees look better, the menu soundtrack is good, and the sound of the ball off the club is improved, my anticipation levels begin to drop. They try to put on the good face, saying "I'll play it more than I did in 2K21", but that's not saying much...

It's just not enough to justify a purchase for me.

2 years and this is where you land?

There's clearly some things we wanted, but not nearly enough given the dev window.

I really, really thought EA would push them to up the ante and I just feel super letdown.

the ball still doesn't react to the gallery, goes straight through them
