Putting Still Needs More Work In 4.0 Update
Not sure if this was hot-fixed prior to the actual update, but lip-outs are way less. Getting a lot more lip-ins which are ok. Roll-overs seems exponentially less as well. Very few manhole covers i...

@agentputtNot every little thing gets into a patch note. I’ve been hosting DayZ servers for years and one time Bohemia Interactive released a full patch note and it had over a thousand entries. I’m sure other outfits do the same.
Also, hot fixes don’t make it to patch notes and they’re definitely doing hot fixes.
I was having 90% lip-outs and 10% lip-ins. Now it’s the complete opposite. I haven’t changed my putt play. I’m playing pro settings with zero skill points on putting. A guy I play with has a lot of roll-overs still and he’s a much better player than me, but either way…I’m not getting them.
Btw, I edited my OP just now to reflect my current stance on putting in 4.0. Still big issues imo, but I do see some improvements.
@90nitk78q2tuInteresting, I’m not getting insta-boos on putting, but a lot on approach shots that hit a bunker, rough, drink, etc. I play pro setting.
@-CACarpenter55-2k23 has sold ~80k units. 2k is going to send HB Studios back to the minor leagues and wouldn’t be surprised if they go back to making mobile games. HBS is doa and never made a good game in their entire career.
@agentputtWow, great videos and wow at how terrible those shots are behaving. The fist one with the underswing is exceptionally damning. Like total roll-over on an underswing.
I really don't understand your comment ???
Both games have Pluses/Minuses
But if you had an unbiased & totally objective view.... you'd realize that EA's putting model is pure S _ _ _ 🪰💩🪰
- @-CACarpenter55- How do you not understand that low sales = inferior product? 2k23 is trash and that’s reflected in ~80k units sold. HB Studios made mobile games before Golf Club and 2k. At one point they were putting dev hiring ads on FB. They’re a bunch of 2 bit flunkies. Use your head dude
This is what I’m talking about. Close to the hole and poor preview angle almost around the back of the cup.
I am on PC and have found improvement since 4.0.
Not nearly as many lip outs, which make this game much more enjoyable.
@RodSirloin You keep trashing HBS, which makes ABSOLUTELY no sense when discussing EA Putting
You seem to have OCD about HBS.
Again, the EA Putting Model totally sucks and needs to be completely remodeled.
Their current adaptation does not reflect any type of golf.
Please only reply if you have something Intelligent to add !

I haven't been able to find any sales numbers for 2K23... but I know 2K21 sold about 3 million copies. So my expectation is that 2K23 should sell about a million copies on release with final sales at about 3 million.
As for HB Studio's they were a small development company that decided to create a niche product that has been abandoned by larger publishers.
Not only did they evolve the genre they created a usee base with their offering and brought virtual golf back into the mainstream.
If not for this small group of developers who saw an opportunity and vision of what could be done. You would be limited to be playing Hot Shots Golf.
Other than the career mode and graphics, I can't argue in it's current state that EA has the better game.
By the way, in my personal opinion... gameplay will always trump graphics.
