Quests

I really wish sand saves would be taken away from the daily quests. Here I am in career mode and trying to hit my ball in bunkers to complete 3 sand saves. It just feels ridiculous and nothing like g...

    Quick Play is a good way to do these very quickly.  That said, I tend to do these using the daily free 4 hole tournament.  Why?  Because then I still get pro pass currency for the holes I complete, and for some silly reason, quick play doesn't provide this.  Just something to consider if you are trying to maximize your time and rewards.

    Oh wow, great idea. As a working mom, I just don't have all the time to waste with quick play while trying to go up with pro-pass. Awesome. 🙂

People are in this thread giving their best ideas to complete the sand saves quest. At the end of the day we are all aiming at bunkers to complete the quest no matter how easy it might be. Making sand saves and par saves a part of daily quests is idiotic. It’s one thing if it was 1 sand save or 1 par save but when you have many it is just wasting our time.

force me to make a certain amount of birdies or eagles or hit a certain amount of fairways. Don’t force me to aim at a bunker because it’s stupid.

You hit this one out of the ballpark. I think making a set amount of birdies or eagles is the way to go instead of sand saves.

I am playing more NBA 2K24 and their challenges are making a set number of points, dunks, threes, blocks and assists. An analogy of the sand save quest in NBA 2K24 would be to make as many bricks or turnovers as possible. The sand save type of quest is totally moronic because it rewards making bad shots.

    I found a way to get them done by going to bunkers on long par 5, and making the save for birdie from there. At least it looks more like golf.

    The approach you outlined from NBA 2k4 is how it should be done. Reward good play, don’t force someone to play poorly to get something. 

    I can’t get over the fact that we are aiming at bunkers to clear quests. It is seriously one of the stupidest reward schemes I’ve seen on a golf game.

      I have go give it to EA, it looks like they got rid of the stupid sand and par saves this week, where I had to aim beside the green to get them. Thank you for that if it's for good.
