You sound like someone who never even played thet past golf games that were hugely popular for reasons you seem to not know about. or care to admit imo.  I will be going to buy 2k golf now,  the more popular golf game,  which you probably would call mario cart......lmao....  but hey you win man.  Youve dominated these forums,  probably influenced development,  and now the game is pwned.  congrats.   


I have been around before computers came out... I have played the first golf games every created on a console, where it was a stickman and a single pixel representing a golf ball.

Golf games were what they are because of what it was compared to at the time. Links was a great golf series, for the time. But things evolve... as they should.

The Golf Club series (now 2K PGA) is what brought me back into video games. I have owned and played every one on a regular basis since it's release in 2014.

THERE IS A REASON why arcade golf games went away. Do you think it is a coincidence that EA stopped making them for almost 10 years?

Save your money... though 2K is not perfect, it is a lot closer to a sim than an arcade game. Even playing at the beginner levels with all the aids enabled and timing turned off you won't be holing out every shot.

But you might like Everybody's golf... it is arcadey with a golfing theme attached to it. And still plays a reasonably fun casual game of golf lite.

The only reason I seem to dominate these forums is because there is no one here. Just like the game.

And they don't listen to me, they aren't listening to anyone.

Nothing I have asked for has been implemented into this game.

    I honestly don't believe you at all .  Because to tell me this game is an arcade game like mario golf,  or the fact you think sim players are why the past games were so much more popular,  is so far from reality its absurd.  You are all thats left in this game now bud.  congratulations.  You pwned it,  just like your avatar signifies.

    You have no clue what you are rambling about.  Nobody wants a sim that is as difficult as real golf.  Just you and the few others who are constantly begging the devs to make the game harder for everyone else.  This is a video game.  I know for an absolute fact that the vast majority of consumers want to play a VIDEO GAME and don’t want to stress out like real life.  That’s the entire reason the old Tiger Woods games sold so incredibly well.  You know, because people want to actually have fun while playing a video game?  The hardcore sim crowd is a tiny fraction of the user population.  But you got your wish now and we all have to suffer for it.

    I have an opinion based on what I preceive is true.

    There is nothing in this game that plays like a sim, so I don't know from where you are arguing from.

    As for the previous games being successful, that is a relative statement and at the time the only viable console golf game in the market that I can remember. During a time when the sport was popular.

    The Golf Club was released in 2014, EA's last game I believe was released shortly after. The Golf Club was built to be more of a sim, EA's game more of an arcade experience.

    This was EA's last golf game for 9 years, The Golf Club continued to grow and eventually was bought by 2K.

    You are right this is a video game, however did you read the promotional information for this product? It was packaged as a full on sim... so I don't think it wrong to have expected more from this game.

    I have no problem for EA to cater to the arcade community, but how about creating a game for everyone?

    And I would suggest the semi/hardcore demographic is larger than you think. I don't think it is a secret why no one is playing this game.

    The Golf Club/2K community is still going pretty strong after 9 years.
