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

@DetroitGolfer19 and @notjustinkaiser are both traveling, they may or may not have time to get it set up tonight. Each even only runs for a couple days anyway, all settings are in the schedule if you want to fire it up on your own for now. Thanks for your patience! This should not be an issue once we switch over to 25.

Expect a BUNCH of 2k25 content Thursday morning when the embargo drops. There are quite a few people that have had access to early copies of the game making content to drop right away, though admittedly a lot of what I am aware of are tutorials for the course designer.

I heard that Canuck already has a course built. I know Respawn is gonna be live streaming all day Thurs as well, it’ll be good to get a decent look at everything before playing on Friday. I’ve got a medical procedure Friday morning so I am hoping by the afternoon I’ll be in a state that I can sit at the PC and play.

So does B101, and at least one more course nearly ready to be released, and he’s got these tutorials ready to go (from a course designer discord I am on)

I went to look up the legend version for PS5 and only saw it for XBox at $120, which seems a bit steep for a week early access. I’ll grab it next Friday though! Looks like there are some awesome changes.

Well you are essentially pre paying for 5 seasons of battle passes. So if you plan to play this game a bunch over the coming year or 2, I think that + all the cosmetics from preorder + cosmetics from leveling up battle pass is worth it. Not to mention, some of the clubs from the battle pass are pretty solid. (pay for convenience for sure)

Respawn also had a video about Clubhouse Pass - his opinion, if you like the cosmetic stuff, it’s worth the price. If you’re good with just whatever is stock in the pro shop, maybe don’t bother.

Nice, I am really looking forward to diving in. I likely won’t do any designs from scratch but I am tempted to give my home course a go as an RCR. I already did Sedgefield in 23 but I’m now over at Cardinal.

I know it’s already been revealed that proper sod walled pot bunkers aren’t there, but they hinted that they’d be coming with St. Andrews in season 2. I hope they find a way to get them into the designer, rather than just cobbled together for the official version of the course.

I think the fact you can always retroactively complete passes is a massive plus.

One thing I really hope they fix, I bought the expensive package last time, so you got like Tiger, and extra currency, and a few other things. I claimed that all when it became available. I’ve been getting reminders to claim that shit for two years after I’d already claimed all of it.

Also, I know this isn’t going away because it’s just a part of sports games now, but if I’m paying between $70 and $120 for your game, stop fucking wasting my time with ads for other games.

The splash screen ads that constantly pop up on the main menu in 23 are very annoying. I think the golf games are the only 2K branded sports games I’ve played and they certainly try to sell their other titles to you. I’ll say this, if that happens to you again reach out to the devs, so far they’ve been quite responsive with the community and HB Studios seems to be willing to listen - guarantee you weren’t the only one with that issue.

I think I saw in 23 there is still an ad for some in game currently/extras pack, like who is dropping $50+ on that now? At that point you may as well buy the new game. And if trends hold, 2K25 is gonna go on sale for like $30 in three months.

Ok, EP’s Timber Falls is up on Xbox. Ending on 2/22 GMT, which I believe is sometime in the evening of 2/21 US time. It’s up for 3 days, starting now.

Fuck Timber Falls. I hope he ports it over to 25 so I can keep playing it.

Just shot these two rounds back to back in rounds 2/3 at James Bond Island, AMA

The difference between these two is just applying ā€œSurface weatheringā€ to the entire course is various amounts. The variety of course looks we’re going to get is going to bonkers

also MOW LINES…are possible but incredibly tedious. Since you can spline them, b101 basically manually splined half of ever fairway to be weathered, to look like a mow line, instead of the default ā€œall one directionā€ mow lines we used to have that didn’t line up with the direction of the hole and looked bad.

b101 has I think 5 courses are are in WIP right now but should be released in the next week or so.
