If you enjoy getting kicked in the dick for every non-perfect swing, chips that physically cannot be stopped, and putting off the green, this is the event for you!
Enjoyed the challenge for stretches of it but there are certain shots/holes that feel virtually impossible (#4 will haunt my dreams tonight)
Through 18 holes, I canāt remember feeling so alive.
Pretty excited to play this when I get home
My wife laughed at me through the entirety of this course.
What Iām hearing is beta testing this course is a resounding success and we should host every event here
Shot even in round 3
Not so much in the other rounds
-2, -1, +8, E. What an exhausting course.
I went +3, +2, +6, -1. May God have mercy on your soul if you find yourself in a bunker short-sided
At least we beta test! I have questions about what testing 2K/HB Studios did for this game, in career mode at Quail Hollow, I took a 9 on this hole after multiple attempts rolled up to within inches of the cup only to come back to my feet
You guys are doing a great job of convincing me to not pick up this game and just grab MW2 instead
Why not do both? Gotham Kights looks fun too
I was +2 standing on 16 tee and took the stroke limit because I was 6 feet above the hole. In the second round I hit a horrible tee shot on #4, to a spot where based on that pin it was literally impossible to recover, just back an forth across the green.
Itās the first time Iāve ever quit a round and decided I wouldnāt finish the event. Iāll wait for the next one.
Yeah, thereās a couple of really bad greens. I had one at Innisbrook yesterday where I was on the fringe in 2 on a par 5 and took an 8 because you couldnāt stop the ball above the hole, and basically had to hit a perfect chip to get to the right place below the hole.
Was +6 thru 8 holes in the opening round and quit out. Citing a wrist injury from slamming my controller down.
I hit the shot to the Sunday pin on 16 we have all seen hundreds of times and it gathered so much speed coming down it went into the front left bunker
I quit after the ninth in round 2. Itās one thing to miss a front pin short and roll back off the front of the green. Itās another to miss a back tier pin a little long, and spin it 80 yards off the green, hit it back up, have a six foot pin high right to left putt, and putt that 80 yards off the front of the green. Too bad, because visually it might be the best replica, but the one I mentioned above is good and playable. And these versions get the fifth hole right. No more driver/gap wedge into whatās now a 500 yard par four.
Yeah, this beta test definitely exposed this version as needing a lot of work to be good, oh well we have until April and Iām sure itāll be ready by then. Unfortunately the game doesnāt let you do shit once an event has started, so just have to let this one run its course before another event can be started
1 of allā¦HB does ZERO testing of their official courses. Look at the many blind shots caused by planting artwork changes on TPC Summerlin. Theyāve been made aware of these issues by their own employees for close to a year but just DGAF.
2 of allā¦when youāre playing career mode, make sure to set the greens to slow speeds on official courses. I lost the FedEx Cup because I made a 10 on the first hole at East Lake and couldnāt recover.
IMO, thereās no little value out of Career Mode other than grinding through 1 round tourneys to earn fittings, beat rivals and earn XP/VC as fast as possible.
Now that Iām into the 2nd season of career mode, Iām only playing events on the custom courses (which I can switch around as I want) until Iāve finished earning the various sponsor awards.
When you reach level 50 (the max level), you re-earn the level in about 2.5 rounds of career mode vs 6 or 7 rounds outside of career mode. Every time you re-earn the level, you get another 250 VC so, other than than a macro for 3 click golf, thatās the quickest way to earn VC for free.
