So far, I am really having fun with this game.

[sideshowbob]

Can anyone confirm if there is a mouse option of any kind in the game?

[clubcaptain]

haven't seen one so I'm on controller too.

So is this “the one”?

A mass exodus from PG to 2K21 forthcoming?

Yes there is a mouse swing.

Buck we have been playing PG for like six years and to be honest thats a long time with no bells and whistles.  No career mode and not crowds have killed IMO and look the number of people playing is way down no matter who wants to spin it otherwise.  Lots have moved on and others are starting to and its apparent there is not going to be a PG 2 and we all know that so we have to go somewhere and PGA 2K21 is taking advantage of that.  Always will love PG but tired of the same format and no customazation as my golfer looks the same now as he did when I started.  I think there are about 5 or so of us that play controller or RTSM over there and thats anothe issue as the clickers are so good you cant compete and we both know there will never be another game with clicking so thats really whats left playing.  Well off to the PGA Tour 2K21 game for a couple rounds.

Thanks Sam.

Might be, Buck, I'm reading a lot of good things about 2K21. Would like to see some good screenshots, not just videos, of some user made courses.

Well started my career after many practice rounds and started at Pro level. Went thru Q school and barely made top 50 and oof to the Korn Ferry Tour at first event at TPC Deer Run and shot 3 under 68 and sit in 8th place and 4 strokes back. Playing 3 round events with cut at end of 2nd round and if an when I get to the PGA Tour I might play four round events. So many different options and the ability to change your level of play on the fly and even level of competition is great improvement. Also being able to have a different outfit for each round a big plus also as it makes it feel more real and fun. A little break and some more golf.

I've taken the same route as you. A#  number of exasperating issues though.

1. Often when I have hit the ball to the left, the shot tracer or whatever they call it shows my downswing going away  to the right. I don't know how i'm supposed to make sense of that.

2. The "feel" from the controller doesn't give much away. It usually feels the same whether I hit the ball straight or to the left or right.

3. I can't see any where that tells me what the elevation is from me to the flag.

4. Around the green is awful. Despite what the shot length is shown as it's easy to be way short or way long. The situation is less of a problem when coming out of a greenside bunker.

5. However I hit a shot I get a slight draw 90% of the time which in itself isn't a big problem but I wish I knew how it was happening.

I agree but a ‘splash’ shot is played from a bunker, where your clubhead enters the sand a couple of inches behind the ball. If you played this type of shot from a fairway you would ‘duff’ it! 
Allow the shot by all means but make sure the player duffs the ball when played from any lie apart from sand. That way it won’t be played again. 
Having said that, I have seen players play a splash type shot where the ball is hung up in heavy rough, although you are in danger of sliding your clubhead under the ball.

I understand what you mean and I agree 100%. What I ment is a high lob shot from other surfaces. Of course fat shot isn't something that should be rewarded. It's just same kind of shot but still differrent.

How’s the online matchmaking? Is it still a pita to play with other people?

The negatives are starting to show...

HB have always been known for their shit network issues, their games actually disconnect my fibre broadband for a min or two every now and then.  Tried a live broadcast via youtube it disconnected twice so i gave up, no other game i have does this.

Also because of their constant network issues, replays and stats are not working, it just hangs then times out.  Golfers live for stats so this is very poor.

PGA tour commentary is broken in places, quite often i have heard them say " that putt puts him top of the leaderboard"...umm i'm actually 5 shots off the lead.

The wind effect appears more severe than 2019, its quite unrealistic now.

tie for 1st..playoff?  nope sorry...Grrr

I'm finding more annoyances the more i play  This is not what you expect from a £50 game

From what I understand they were down from 8 to 9 am Eastern Time to add servers and might be doing it again shortly. They have apparently sold way more copies than expected and the servers were overwhelmed. I view this as a good thing.

[DoGgs]

It's more than than that, they have a history of shit like this, i have been trying all day.

Lmao

Who said that?

I can't say as I have not seen those issues yet and I will keep an eye out for them. I know they said there are some bugs that will need patches tho.

[Greensboronclion]

The servers announcement was by them as they added them this morning and the fact they were overloaded tells you they had more than expected. It was running slower yesterday afternoon but pretty smooth for me this afternoon.

[Greensboronclion]

Look I see it this way that the game cost 59 bucks and to me that's not a big deal as I have hundreds and hundreds of dollars in bad video game purchases so what's another. I like the game and yes it has bugs but at least there are people to patch it unlike PG which abandoned and no chance of ever getting a patch to fix. I still got balls that pop out of holes magically and frozen swings and that will never go away so hey to me 59 bucks is nothing. I am not looking for the perfect game as that will never happen and PG was close but a video game is nothing more than entertainment and always will be. Give me some half decent graphics and fairly decent gameplay especially with a career mode and I am good. I play Super Mega Baseball 3 and it does that also with very few bugs and I got no problems. In the end it's what makes you happy.

been playing online with 1 to 3 others yesterday & today and only have had one issue and that was probably due to a thunderstorm where he was. Online matches have played fine for us.
