EA PGA Golf dying a slow death?
I actually believe it is generous to say it's slow... I was really excited for this game and wanted it to succeed in the worst way. My personal opinion is that we stay engaged in something if it c...

I still find that the speed of the swing in 2K23 is far too fast, especially for partial swings, pitches and chips. If they returned to the swing that was in 2K2019 things would be much better.
Something just feels different when I swing. When I originally played 2K23, all my shots biased towards the right after second patch. When I played again after a long time, I do not see my shots biased towards the right. Something must have been fixed. Maybe the shot timing being off did not work originally. The fix just made that game more fun.
@PalomaMarvel24 I've always liked the swing mechanism in 2K23. I just like the swing timing and the speed of the swing. it feels just perfect.
EA Golf, the swing is so slow and clunky. But now after watching youtube videos on the different type of swings Im use to it. I still prefer 2K23's though.
That was one big hurdle that I had to get over when I finally started enjoying EA Golf. I had 2K in my head while trying to play EA Golf. Once I dedicated myself to learning EA GOLF without any influence from 2K, then I really bought into the game and was preforming well.

The same goes with TW14. I love both of those games. 2K23 somehow had the swing issue fixed and is smooth like 2K21.
After playing 4 months with EA PGA Tour, the swing got slower and clunkier after each update. I ended up using 3-click to avoid the clunkiness. But there are physics issues with EA PGA Tour that are so difficult to overlook and overcome. I purchased 2K23 again and I am enjoying the fixed swing mechanics. One thing that is possible to do in 2K23 is hit the green with a long approach shot using a 3 or 4 iron. In EA PGA Tour that shot is not possible since ball will go miles deep like Aaron Judge hit a home run.
- @PalomaMarvel24 2K21 was a great game. I completely agree about the swing mech. in that game. It was the best in quite a while. 2k23 is good but 2k21 I think was a better game.
I'm sort of doing what you're doing with both golf games. I bought EA GOLF about 4/5 weeks ago and have been playing that exclusively. Now since I've maxxed out, I went back to 2K23 and appreciate that game a little more than I had before.
It'll probably be like this for a while, where I switch back and forth. I know when the Masters comes around next April, I will be back playing EA Golf again.
My only worry about EA Golf is they pull the plug like they did with the Rory game. They also promised continued support with Rory only to abruptly pull the plug. - @SurfinSantaCruz I am more likely staying with 2K23. The last great EA golf game was Tiger Woods PGA Tour 14. That game was ahead of its time with photo game face, voice options and gameplay. If EA can make its next iteration of PGA Tour like TW14, I am more likely to get that.
