Looking really great!

For those of you who know TGC well, is this latest video, with all that gameplay footage, showing off anything new to a keen eye?

Trees or textures, lighting or just any differences that you might note, etc?

I'm very very excited to see their first effort at a "real course" at some point.

they need to fix the putting or this game will never be good.

The only new thing I'm seeing so far is the improved quality divots, and the more detailed and differentiated golfers. We're not seeing the new SpeedTrees yet, nor the new lighting. I haven't seen much new in terms of textures, but I haven't been able to spend a lot of time looking for that in the past few weeks.

I'm more excited for this release than I've been for their prior two for a number of reasons. I'm still playing TGC 2 because I like it's tempo dependent swing, and TGC 2019 looks like it will add even more dimensions to that!

Huh?

What do they need to "fix"?

Aside from the fact that the ball comes directly off the putterface on a side-slope putt at an angle, I find the putting in TGC 2 to be a strength. It features some of the best cup physics I've ever seen. The degree of touch and feel required feels about right, although some firm/fast green combos can be infuriating if the slopes are beyond reason.

In real life, I'll see the ball come straight off the angle of attack of the putterface on a side-sloping putt before it starts breaking, but it's instantly in TGC. I have to allow for 3 to 5% more break than my senses would tell me because of this, but I've adapted to it. I'm curious to see if this changes iin TGC 2019, but I'm not banking on it

I know this probably will not appear but I would love custom swing styles. I love the golf club, but feel that the way the swing looks just does not feel right to me.

Would love different swings, agreed that the mo cap on the game’s current swing looks off. The bend in the elbow and stiff follow through aren’t very aesthetically pleasing in my opinion and for an animation you see so many times it would be nice to have options. Especially considering everyone’s golf swing is different.
