Career mode only impressions.
After a few practice rounds during the trial I'm quite surprised by all the settings I turned to hard or off, I'm a pretty average video game golfer and would typically have things set to around the pro settings in 2K. Like others mentioned the rough/ bad lie shots need to be fixed.
Doing some house rules to make rough and bunker shots harder to simulate what the shot difficulty should be has helped a bit. Like no spin control, no zooming in on pin (I use the scorecard layout of the hole when pressing the pad on ps5).

Not adding any skills to my golfer at this time since he already feels overpowered for the current game.

As I played the US Amateur I had a lot of fun and though I never contended for the win I was in the mix for top 40 thanks to being able to adjust the ai difficulty after starting the event. I was still tweaking the settings while playing. I finished +3 for the 4 rounds but had several holes where I thought I was going to birdie but messed up. I also had some nice putts go in and it was overall a fun experience that I didn't think I was going to have when I first played during the trial.

Biggest question is will it get too easy even for me as I continue to make my way to the PGA tour?
The graphics, commentary, real PGA players on leader boards is more than I hoped for and when you get the feeling of can't wait to play another tournament you know the game has done something right.
