They will never be able to cover what people want to do with presets, whether players want to create themselves, or create Phil Mickelson or Sergio Garcia. When you could actually modify the eyes, nose, cheeks, jaw, chin, etc like you mentioned in Tiger Woods 14, one could really come close to if not create a ringer for whomever they were trying to create. Its amazing how far backwards this game is, and its 2023 for crying out loud. Create a player is freaking horrendous on these games.
In TW14, I remembered creating Gal Gadot and my friend created Kevin Hart. Voices were also available and the Kevin Hart avatar perfectly had his voice as well. I remembered using a voice similar to Stephanie McMahon for Gal since her accent was not available. The WWE 2K face capture is even more accurate. The avatar can look exactly like me or anyone else like Ana De Armas or Nelly Korda.
It is super disappointing to hear how many of you are struggling with the create a player part of the game. It did seem to me that we took a huge step forward in the early to mid 2010s on this so it really does tell you how lazy/ignorant/inept our game developers are to not even be able to produce something that was done 9 years ago. Why can’t we create our own faces? Could it be that difficult of an engine?

I think if a copy and paste of TW14 was done, it might save the headaches. This year, the developers did something to reinvent the wheel like adding RNG and forgetting game face; they also reinvented NHL 24 be removing hybrid controls at launch. There is one big difference between NHL 24 and PGA Tour; the Hybrid controls got added back to NHL 24 while nothing has changed with PGA Tour. It is obvious there is more investment and sales with NHL 24 than PGA Tour.

Unfortunately, they can't do that because it's on the old Tiger Woods engine. If they would have been able to copy and paste from the old TW engine to Frosbite, it would have saved them a lot of work, and EA Rory would have a lot of contents. This is the problem with starting from scratch with a new engine, and why HB/2K are still using the old Unity engine for their game. It's a lot easier this way, and they can keep all the courses made by customers with the courses creator. They will probably lose all those courses with a new engine.

You would think this would be a valid argument. But what do you say when 2K deliberately removed the ability to add weight to your golfer. It was available in 2K2019.
And while I was reviewing all the old 2K games... 2K2019 is really playable with everything disabled. The only problem is that it is far to easy to hit shots straight. I really enjoy the putting without the green grids.

@PalomaMarvel24And don't forget the no replays. I still can not comprehend that the devs decided that it would be a good idea to not have replays in this game. Every other game has replay's except for this one. That's basic stuff.
Agree with that. There are more that can be done in TW14 that can’t be done on current game.
1) Ability to adjust wind speed. TW14 can change wind speed from calm to gale force. It is so bad I had to put up with Gale Force winds in Career mode at Cardi Creek (aka Wolf Creek) in current game. The gale winds causes ball physics to resemble Cardi B throwing the mic.
2) In TW14, I can hit the green in a long approach shot using a 3-iron or 4-iron. This is almost impossible in the current game. In current game my golfer is more like Aaron Judge when I use a 3-iron for long approach shot and misses the green by miles.
