2K with harder settings doesn't feel as frustrating as arcade play on here, which just seems totally whacky.
They don't punish players for disability by excluding them from content, and that also includes their keyboard map..
So bizarre, I feel the complete reverse. I feel like EA's HARDEST mode is easier than 2K's easiest mode.
As far as punishing players by excluding them from content, unless they have changed 2k since EA came out, there was no option to play online competitively with lower skill settings.
This could only be done in private leagues. At least there are Arcade tournaments in EA.
One of the worst things about 2K was it calculated your handicap based on all scores in career and online modes, so when I played single player with the horrible downswing timing disabled, it gave me a ridiculously low handicap for when I was forced to play with the downswing timing on. Drove me away from the online play almost immediately.
I think 2K's easiest mode is pretty easy. You don't need to deal with random dispersion... and with timing disabled and an ultra wide swith path all you need to really deal with is distance control.
As for the handicap calculation... I agree it might not be ideal for those jumping between difficulty levels. Ideally they should have set individual handicaps based only on each PRESET difficulty level.
But then I didn't design it... but at least they have something in place, as flawed as it is. Where EA has nothing.
If you only ever played at the default settings that most tournaments are played on I assume it would work flawlessly... assuming everyone else did the same.
I agree it is flawed... but would be simple for them to fix. Someone should suggest it on their forum.
I personally really like the downswing timing in the 2K game. It adds another level requiring the execution of a quality shot. Something that can really come into play when things get tight. Something that will get you to not hit at the flag if hazards are in play if you don't execute a perfect shot.
