Ok, 15 licensed courses is a good deal. Very intrigued.

So "MyPlayers" is plural right? Meaning we can create a substantial amount of CAPs similar to AO Tennis?

Putting the PGA license to good use... upgrade in courses from 6 to 15... yes!

11 tour pros... excellent.

Hoping Nike Gear is included but didn’t see it in the trailer.

Excited for this.

12 pros seems a little weak, no? Half your leaderboard of a PGA game is fictional players?

And it only says you play against the pros...no mention of actually playing as them in any way, shape, or form.

The preorder listings for this game say it'll cost $60. In a stacked release window with what seems to be minimal gameplay enhancements and very little detail about the career mode, this is a tough sell. No mention of majors being included, new real courses look like additional TPC tracks (Twin Cities, Louisiana and San Antonio looked to be in there)...that doesn't do a whole lot for me.

Granted, the inclusion of lots of real brands of gear and equipment is great, as is the customization abilities for your MyPlayer. That seems pretty solid.

You think the rest could be on the leaderboard and not playable.

I mean it’s something Sega Genesis did over 25 years ago.

TGC 2019 did not...to have real pros on leaderboards, you had to manually add 300 some names and edit all their faces.

My guess on the 15 courses

The 6 existing.

1) TPC Sawgrass Stadium
2) TPC Scottsdale Stadium
3) TPC Deere Run
4) TPC Boston
5) TPC Southwind
6) TPC Summerlin
New Identified from the video
7) TPC Louisiana
8) TPC San Antonio
9) Eastlake
10) Innisbrook Copperhead
11) Riviera
Not Known
12)
13)
14)
15)

I also hope that all of the courses can be ported over from 2019, some of the lidar courses are incredible.

That is not the way I would read it. Obviously hope for that to be the case, but I don't think that's a safe assumption based on 2K's usual games and the phrasing in the article.

Here's an article with some interesting nuggets:

https://www.polygon.com/2020/5/14/21257709/pga-tour-2k21-release-date-trailer-ps4-xbox-one-pc-switch-stadia-cover-athlete

"Reached for comment, a 2K Sports representative told Polygon that VC can only be used to unlock cosmetic items; in other words, microtransactions won’t confer an advantage over other players."

"In addition to Thomas, PGA Tour 2K21 will feature 11 real-life professional golfers. There aren’t yet any details on who those other athletes are, but 2K said that players will compete against them in the career mode; the pros won’t be playable themselves."

"PGA Tour 2K21 will be available for $59.99 on all platforms. 2K is also offering a Digital Deluxe Edition for $69.99 that comes with a bundle of 2,300 VC as well as two add-on packs of clothes, accessories, and golf clubs."

I figured we'd have 12 licensed PGA TOUR courses and 10 featured pros; they surprised me by going 15 and 12, respectably. I don't think they did anything beyond facial scanning for the pros, however, Justin Thomas said in his interview about the game on PGATOUR.com that he had his face scanned. If that's as far as they went then I can easily see how they got 12 pros in the game.

Where do you read about customizing abilities for MyPlayer? I've been hoping to see this. Would be a huge W imo.
