I thought you did a great job packing a lot of info into the video for us degenerates who can’t wait to get our hands on the game. 🤪

What's a Respawn video without a ramble or ten?

Loved it! Do we have options for different camera angles while the balls in flight?

@@smallfry3270 That is facts right there.

@@Andrew-rk7sb Yep, all the ones from 2K21 are still there.

Such a vibe🙏🏼

True

That's one of the things I love about the Great golf and games also, also the planes flying overhead in the distance, xcetera

When it comes to gameplay and overall immersion/presentation/animation the game has changed quite dramatically for sure. Appreciate you sharing it!

1.5 even better

I hope they fix it too or at least tune it somehow.

It looks exactly the same so why would anyone get the new game? I have it preordered as it's the only game my wife plays and she demands it but if it were up to me I'd pass, just looks the same to me.

I had a name picked out but it might be different. There will be a video on it when the game launches and I'll announce it on my socials.

This is something I have written down to do for this year's cycle. Didn't really have the time to do it for this past cycle unfortunately

just keep on playing the old. i hope for a small xmass discount hehe

I don't know anything about the console versions yet. We only played on PC

Ok thanks. Fingers crossed it will look the business. Totally agree with your 2K21 putting stance, definitely better. 2K23 looks like he facing off with someone in the crowd 😂

So, I wouldn't say it is a miserable experience after playing it. It takes a lot of getting used to the way that it is now. If you don't use vibration, it will be awful because you are guessing for the first 20 percent. I hope it gets fixed, but if it doesn't it's not something that completely ruins the experience imo, but it is an annoyance.

I appreciate you!

Yeah, what sucks is I think it is rock and a hard place for them. You either have the entire club faze through the ground like you can kind of see on the left there or have it how it is in 2K23. I probably prefer 2K23 with that still in my opinion.

I agree. The animation of the golfer needs a little more life on the putting green. Something I hope they look at moving forward.

They've put very little effort into this title. They'll get smoked by EA in March when they drop their game. PGA2K needs a new engine.

@@jamies2688 agreed, I sold my 2k23 copy and back to 21 until something else appears

I was using golf club 2 up till I found it was put offline, I have gone and bought 2k21.

@@orcue70 I recently bought 2K23 at a bargain price and, I must say, it’s very good for a course designer. It seems so much faster and they’ve recently added some more assets.

@@ianknight2053 thanks for update, ill probably get that after this! hopefully this one doesn't go offline, i just like to play against the computer

The distance that is given for putting is a general distance that you will need to make it to the cup on putts. It takes everything into consideration when calculating that initial distance that it gives you. This however can change dependent on where you are putting the ball and how much break occurs. I have a putting tutorial for 2K21 that is a touch outdated now but will give you a general idea of how putting works in these games: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qZyRpdCcz9jTonk.html

It absolutely will be. It will take some practice and getting used to but it's good.

So green reading will be slightly different on uphill putts because of the increased break and speed of the greens. On downhill putts though, green reading dramatically changes. The ball breaks a ton more downhill and is fast, like REALLY fast, so it is something that will have to be accounted for.

PC is usually always the first casualty in a dwindling player base for online features. If you are looking to continue to get MP lobbies and Divot Derby lobbies I would say go XBOX. As far as communities they are probably pretty even. You will be able to find anything you want community wise on both platforms. If you don't care about graphics/frame rates, I would say go XBOX.

@@MoreRespawn Good to know. Thanks for all the great content on 2k!

Just get standard.

For me it is specifically sticking with what I know. I have played video golf games with a controller my whole life. I have played this game with a controller the entire time. Instead of sitting down and learning a new form of accuracy and tempo on a mouse, sticking with what I know is easier and also feels better to me personally.

@@MoreRespawn Thanks for the answer! Always love hearing peoples preferences.

Oh, trust me, it is something I think needs to be fixed, but if it's not I will still be playing the hell out of this game! You can get used to it after a few rounds.

Something I wish I would have done for this.

I think about it different, I want to support golf games since there are not many. If they don't sell we don't get any more. So what I do is buy all of them. In your case I would get 2k23 since that is the new and where most real tournaments most likely moved over. Same with the course designer, probably more courses for 2k21 but new courses will be made for the new game. So yeah get 2k23 and then buy EA PGA Tour later when on discount since that game will be 70€ at launch which is steep price for a golf game in my opinion.

Draw and fade yardage reduction is MUCH less impactful for drives this year compared to 2K21. You can now do draws and not take a big hit to your yardage. Baby fades and draws are specifically much better so you can draw and fade it along slightly moving fairways without losing distance.

@@MoreRespawn awesome I was always frustrated when I would work a ball to match a fairway and another guy would hit it dead straight and out drive me.

So, you think ball flight hasn't changed at all?

Just get 2k23.

@@indian_crocodile I have just come off 2k21 and being trying to play on pro as it says that's the setting for online. Tried the opening course 4 times and best I got was +7! This game is so much harder than hot shots golf or Tiger Woods 12. Deffo need some practice.

Obviously standard

It might be because I ever so slightly slowed it. Club to ball interaction sound has been pretty good so far in my experience.

a lot of small changes can give a very different feel tho, from what i see this will be alof better gameplay wise. i rather have bettet gameplay than better graphics

@@wout123100 why not both good gameplay and good graphism?

It was a great game of course but the graphics looks terrible for 2023🙄!

Couldn't disagree more. I turned off the swing timing because whilst I love the concept, I just found it way too random at times and then you're just scrambling all the time. Whereas the short game was too easy. Able to stick it in close and putting, even on master/legend wasn't tough. Glad they've made that harder. But our difference in opinion is exactly why I think they should split the difficulties out. Not sure they'll be many cricket fans here but the cricket games developed by Big Ant offer different difficulties for batting, bowling and the overall AI ability. Cricket games are notorious for the bowling being too hard or grindy so that's always been a great solution. Would love to see 2k offer different difficulties options for: - Swing timing - Swing accuracy - Putting So you could theoretically pick master for the first 2 and then make your putting on pro. Would offer a more balanced experience.

I think what made the game so easy was recovering so easily. Now making tee to green harder would add strokes, but the most strokes gained in 2K21 was recovering around the green. They have made that much harder this year which in turn will lead to better scores. I agree that some dispersion needs to be tuned for tee to green, just having the added difficulty in recoveries around the green will be great for the gameplay.

@@MoreRespawn i disagree with making the rough harder makes the game better, it's not realistic. Pros very rarely ever have an issue in the rough and almost never have to go more than 1 extra club. They needed to make hitting the ball accurate harder.

It is better than it was in the preview but still not a complete 1 to 1 yet.

@@MoreRespawn thanks for the reply!

I know.
