PGA 2K23 Refuge Tour - Info Post #9562 - S24 Begins 11/25

I think we consider having distance control turned back on.

Why not just leave it a free for all? In theory, since it’s flighted it shouldn’t matter the settings one bit. Players with it easier will get flighted into the better flights.

I’m kicking around buying a PS5…worth it?

I like this

I will say that I agree with this as well.

Maybe, I think it remains to be seen if Xbox is still being screwed over with the controller? I’m on PC and have always used playstation controllers with these games

It’s obviously early days and I still need to discuss options with the admin team, but right now I’m leaning towards Pro difficulty, distance control off, swing timing on, all the pro vision stuff off, and all the rest open. If we leave the option for the power meter open I think everyone will be fine with no distance control assist.

So far it seems like roll out affects both the roll out on the green and in the fairway. A decent trade off so far after a couple rounds

on the 2K Launch stream they mentioned they will be releasing an update in the future with crossplay enabled…that could make things much easier for the societies.

About effing time. I hope this is soon-ish (but if they didn’t give any clues on a date it might be 2024), would be so nice to schedule an event once and not have to worry about duplicating it across 3 platforms.

But I also suspect that this might just be for pvp, if I had to guess there won’t be any crossplay societies.

Cool, so my player maybe doesn’t have to look like he’s trying to be built like Thicc Boy.

Gotta say I hated it at first, but changing from quality mode to performance mode made a huge difference. I forgot how bad it was on the old game until they added a 60 FPS option. Huge difference when I changed that setting.

I know gameplay is the main focus, but definitely lacking in the player customization department. I remember even one of the old TW games from 10+ years ago had customizable swings/stances, and face/photo scanning technology has been a thing for a long time. I still remember an old TW game character I made who swung like Jim Furyk took some very good drugs and then had golf lessons with 5 different coaches to make swing changes.

Well to be fair they’ve only been on Unity engine for what, 8 years? Can’t expect them to have optimized it by now to get rid of frame drops.

(I am grateful, however, that by sticking with the same game engine they have allowed custom courses to be ported over with each new game)

I always think the equipment selection in these games to be laughable. There doesn’t seem to be any particular pattern into what equipment is available in the game from what manufacturers. They have some new stuff, barely anything from last year, but the bulk of it still seems to be 2K21 equipment?

And don’t get me started on the models of the HB clubs. They don’t even look like a real golf club

Guarantee you it’s to make players want to buy clubhouse pass or whatever it’s called or buy in game currency rather than taking time to unlock or earn stuff to move away from the default clubs.

Nah, it’s been the same since The Golf Club 1, they’ve just never updated the models
