As feared the game has gotten too easy too soon.

As the title suggested... the game has lost its challenge far too quickly. There are a few things in the game that make it too forgiving and thus too easy. First the flop and pick shots are get out...

@ELF014 Yes, in 2k the second I have a bad swing, I immediately say oh no, that’s terrible, and sure enough…. Miles left or right.

As good as you can be at 2k…. For me anyway, there is never really a guarantee you are gonna get up and down.

I genuinely feel, I can have the swing at its hardest in ea, and I think I could easily go 5 or 6 rounds without a bogey. It’s absolutely just fairways and greens, and then do you make your birdie putt or not.


There’s so much to like about the ea game though. They have got a lot right and built a really good base I feel.

It’s just a few tweaks needed, and they’re actually really feasible!

Rough/bunkers actually punishing you

Sidehill lies actually doing something

Either an added difficulty or two swing wise, or tweak hardest to allow for more errant shots/mishits

Lastly…. The flop and pick need to be adjust in some way…. It’s just so very easy to get up and down with these.

@jambomakaveli Both the flop and pick generate too much spin under less than ideal circumstances. And a bigger issue is the ball physics, they are a little too severe with mid/long irons being received by a green. And yet they are way too slow on the fastest settings, the ball will stick on a red slope while rolling downhill and they do not roll out enough. The ball has a tendency to stop rather suddenly.

2K23 seem to have gotten the ball physics right with their putting. I can appreciate the shotlink and trackman data collected by EA, but I think the ball physics are drastically wrong.

    I think the ball physics of EA PGA Tour are far better than 2K . Have you ever played real golf ?

    @ELF014 I’m sure everyone feels different etc….

    A big question is…. If you could only keep one and had to get rid of one, and that’s it going forward…..

    Yeh I’d miss ea, but I couldn’t be without 2k.

    This is purely based on the fact it can be challenging.

    I’m on pro swing, and I can’t imagine moving up another 2 levels!

    And I can only imagine moving to the top level would result in some really bad shots/duffs at times.

    Both games have stuff the other game could like, and learn from.

    Maybe going forward, with this competition now, they’ll both really knuckle down and produce 2 great games in the coming years.

    Or if ea is a live service game, then some quality updates/additions.

      @jambomakaveliI will only play/concentrate on one game at a time currently that would be EA PGA Tour.

      But it appears SPYGLASS was released today on 2K23... could be my favorite course. So it seems I will be playing 2K23 tonight.

      I still have high hopes for EA that they will improve the gameplay to the point it is challenging and emulates a golf simulation rather than a game.

        @ELF014 Yeh! Just had a round. Really enjoyed!!

        EA’s first course should be due soon with the next major coming up!
