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

The Sungjae pause at the top of the backswing is an interesting development for my game.

Lol, good way to hit like a 95% shot, or with Pro difficulty a full swing can get nuked 110% so a slight pause can net about a 100% shot. I noticed on Master even a slight pause gets you like 96-97%.

Also never realized how stupidly loud the menu music is, that will be fixed for next stream. Also apologies for the quiet mic for the first 20 minutes, figured out I accidentally turned that down. #prostreamer

Refuge Tour Communications - poll for the players

For all Refuge Tour players, recently the game has added the possibility to restrict society play to allow or disallow consumable golf balls. These are the golf balls that can be purchased for VC in game that change the performance stats including spin, flight, bounce, and roll. Note that these are NOT the cosmetic changes that can be made to a golf ball - cosmetic changes to equipment is not restricted.

Right now I am leaning towards not allowing them so everyone is on the default ball. We just don’t want anyone to be able to go OP on a firm and fast course or something. So, do we roll the ball back for the Refuge Tour to level the playing field, or let it fly?

Do we allow consumable golf balls on Tour?
  • Consumable golf balls allowed
  • Consumable golf balls NOT allowed

fuck yeah. My game is fucking broken. This is maddening.

They need to do something about the sand game. If this is supposed to be like real golf, 35 yard bunker shots should not be easier than 12 yard bunker shots.

For those that are interested, haven’t purchased it, and are on PlayStation, PGA 2K23 is currently 30% off on the PlayStation store.

Oh snap, hitting it bigtime now. Cheers, here’s to many more streams of mediocre digital golf! I’m hoping to have time to play some more tonight, unfortunately my schedule is such that I can’t really set aside regular days/times right now.

I’ve been on Twitch for a couple of years now. 78 followers. I’m the same way. Life with kids is pretty hectic so no consistent stream schedule. Sometimes I get up at like 3:30 am to stream for a bit before the kids wake up.

Cross-play is officially on the roadmap, but I suspect this means just pvp matches and not societies or anything that robust. Still, will be nice to be able to drop in and get a game with anyone on any platform. At some point in 2023 I suppose. Also lol at Callaway as a major OEM being nowhere close to being in the launch of the game

What does that even mean, is it based on player level? I realize I probably play more than average but I still reached lvl 50 very quickly. But like how was that not in the launch build of the game, that seems extremely basic

Anyway, going live with a couple courses being play tested for the Refuge Tour. Might find a good RCR to throw in too

Currently troubleshooting some laggy stream issues, attempting to find a good ingest server. Worked fine 2 days ago and now it’s a mess.

Well didn’t work out so well for tonight, but I think I found the issue with the lag on stream. Should be resolved for next time

The player vote is in favor or not allowing consumable golf balls, so this will be the setting used for this season.

Qualifying settings are now published, so feel free to go get those practice rounds in. Quali starts on 11/28

The owners of the pub off the 18th fairway have the final say - but I’m sure they won’t mind the foot traffic

Well I’ve got just an hour left of the work day and NOBODY has called…think I’m going to fire up a live stream and take y’all through Scawt / the current project

Stop on by to chat/listen/geek out on design stuff!

I should have time to play it tomorrow evening as long as Thanksgiving/family stuff goes as scheduled. I’ll hold off watching your playthrough for now and come in completely green, knowing only what I saw in 2K21. Looking forward to it and I should be able to stream on Twitch as well so you can see what my take is as someone with basically zero knowledge or expertise in design.
