Gotta admit...I dig the scorebug in the upper left corner of the screenshot:

Agreed - would love to a graphic showing scores from previous rounds at each hole.

That scorebug looks great. I was hoping with 2k presentation will get a major facelift But Ugh, that stance is brutal to look at.

I tuned in, but I'm seeing Animal Crossing, not PGA TOUR 2K21, it's 8:25 PM EDT here and it should be on.

Okay, learning it did get pushed back by Animal Crossing... about to start here in a few.

My response to the video....MEH

Not sure what to make of that. Way too easy to hit the ball in that video. Hoping there are different layers of difficulty that can be applied.

Disappointed they messed with putting. Looks like they now have a meter for putting.

But the presentation looked nice I thought. Looks like the PGA pros will be your "rivals".

Still holding out hope for a solid golf title but first impression makes me feel game difficulty has been brought way down.

Definitely some changes. A swing meter for the beginners and casuals, a long asked overswing from the community for advanced players, and it looks like there was no loft box when he shot that draw on the par 5.

How many times did they play that hole to get a Hole in One?

Random Impressions:

- Follow-cam.....ugh (puke)
- Ball trail needs to be toggle-able or dialed-back a bit
- Same crappy swing animation - no flow or rhythm at all. Like the anti-Fred Couples. Disappointing but not unexpected. On the plus side, with a slight tweak, it sort of looks like Bryson DeChambeau's swing (in that it is quick/choppy, not fluid at all, and slightly ugly from an aesthetic perspective)
- Notice that they showed Kuchar's swing from an odd angle, because if they showed it from a recognizable angle, every golf fan would immediately realize how stupid/unrealistic it looked to have Kuchar with a completely foreign random generic golf swing
- Loud cheers on the first hole played from the gallery, without anyone in the gallery actually clapping their hands...
- Audience members look like low-poly crap-tastic PS2-era characters
- Some of the bounces looked a little extreme
- He should not have been able to hit 3-wood out of that rough like that....

On the plus side, the course itself looked okay - still not as good as the courses on Rory McIlroy looked but pretty decent. I didn't love what I saw but I didn't hate it; I am still willing to be convinced. Depending on the hands-on impressions of the guys here, I can see myself giving this one a shot. Maybe.

Still didn’t see any spin on that pitch shot.

Re: Exclusive Gameplay tonight on IGN

Some of the physics in the gameplay still needs to be improved upon, but that can be patched. All HUD elements can also be disabled per Shaun West on Twitter.

I personally think this is a massive improvement over 2019. Will definitely be pre-ordering.
