I haven't played the game yet so I don't know the extent of what the issue is other than seeing a video or 2 but I guess if they want realistic physics they need to accept the fact that unless you're hitting a 7 iron extremely high and landing it into soft greens, it's not gonna stop dead.

Any wedge 50 degrees or higher from a fairway lie can and absolutely should be able to stop dead or even spin back when hit correctly. If it's the case that even those clubs are bouncing and rolling out then maybe the green settings are too hard who knows

 
That seems to echo the commentary so far...I've seen the thought mentioned of "we are back to TGC1 firmness/issues" regarding rollout.
Hopefully tweaking course settings can alleviate that, etc.
 

I'm more worried about playing from the rough. In tgc2 I couldn't hit a damn club more than like 100 yards from a rough lie. It ruined any enjoyment of the game for me because it is not realistic at all. Trust me, I play most my real golf from shit lies in the rough and rarely do I need to go from a 7 iron length up to like a hybrid just to get the ball go 100 yards lol

Pretty sure that's fixed - perhaps even too much in the opposite direction

What balls do you guys play with in real life that that ball just stops dead all the time and what is the condition of the green? Even a wedge I can't stick, it still goes about 10 feet after the pitch mark and I played probably a softer green on thursday because it was morning and there was dew on it yet. This looks pretty good to me but I am not a pro golfer who can stop them on a dime it seems. Trying to hit a longer iron to the green and expect it to stop dead? Sorry not going to happen. 

 

Both games the physics are not perfect but even though I like to play JNPG more because of the challenge TGC2 had way better physics or what I see in real life. Although I can't hit it that long and would like the ability to adjust to my yardage I play at.

 

 

Joe at my age of 62 I want distance not spin anymore but the best of both worlds for me is the Bridgestone B330 or Titleist Velocity or NXT Tour.  In my youth I would play the Titleist Ballata which the equal to that today would be the Pro V1 but I can tell you that for the average golfer the Pro V1 is a waste of money as we dont swing hard enough and cant control that ball as its for a Pro or very low handicap player.  Try the 1st couple balls I mentioned and you should see better results around the greens for sure.  Age is humbling and at this point if they let me go off of the ladies tees with a Super Ball I am all in.  Lol.

Not sure if this is new or not?
Graphics look pretty decent at least. Stadium seating is in there in the clip..

I just have to ask..
Am the only that can't stand the chipping animation in TGC?

It just looks "wrong" to me..

I swing it pretty hard still at 42 but that Velocity ball just flies!! I used one in the sim the other night and my irons were going almost 8-10 yards further with that thing.

I use a Chrome Soft as my go to and sometimes the Taylormade TPX5 and they're both great balls around the greens but they don't fly like that Velocity. Negative of course is it's not that great around the greens and feels a little harder off the putter face for me.

Another absolutely fantastic ball I tried was the Wilson Duo spin soft. That ball felt like butter when i hit it good and it feels amazing off the putter face.

Yep 52 and even though I can hit it long yet I can't spin shots even with a supersoft ball. I did though hit an 81 though last week at The Links at Northfork here in the Twin Cities (Ok 84 but it would have been an 81 if I hadn't tripled the last hole..lol) but I usually shoot about 87 so I was hitting the ball very good but putting sucked. 

 

The Golf Club 2 is a very good game I think but combined with the ULTRA LOW SCORES on tournaments and the Heaviest primary rough I've ever seen in a golf game I just got tired of it and wanted something funner. I am not sure I want to buy it because I am one of those types that stop playing the other game for awhile and play this one.

I wish them the best of luck with the game, but its way over priced in my opinion. Its twice the price and only half as good as Perfect Golf.

£45 wow! even more than i thought, god knows how they justify that price...just picked up Automobilista for 8.99 what a great racing sim.

I'd imagine it's almost totally because of the "PGA Tour" part

[Jwheels9876]

I'll wait till the Halloween steam sale and see if it drops to around $20. If not I'll be playing it on the sim before I ever own the PC game I guess.

Although I do not own it my friends who chat it up daily on rF2's Discord channel say in current sims it is their second choice.  If they like it, it has got to be good.  Have fun.

Reiza done some really good stuff with Automobilista to say it uses the old rFactor G-Motor engine.

A steal for the price.

Yep.  A first Reiza pack is supposed to come by the end of the month for rF2.  We think it might get delayed a bit.

I have most all the sims, raceroom racing experience is my favorite flavor lately. I like watching Jimmy Broadbent stream, also GamerMuscle and Super GT from time to time. Jimmy gets 2000 to 3000 people watching him going around a track when he live streams. Must be the nail polish, that attracts so many people.

I am not sure why the low scores thing keeps coming up with this game... clearly, it is the same for PG  Have you seen some of the scores in the various tournaments for PG?   They are ultra low as well.  People who enjoy the game, play it daily, practice, etc. are bound to shoot low scores.  It is a video game, not real golf... people get good at video games!  

[DivotMaker]

just watched some guy playing scottsdale, DoGgs wins!!!     

Hole 16, don't know why they failed to add in the stadia?? lazy! 

 

Nothing "lazy" about it....the stadium and fans are there during the Waste Management Open during PGA TOUR Career mode.

[Joe Habiger]

You might have a good round but consistently shooting ultra low scores means you have some sort of aid I think. Just my 2 cents because I don't think IN THIS GAME anyways you can keep shooting straight shots at the hardest level no matter how much you practice.

The pro clubs are too easy to hit. Also what happened to backspin?? I put more action on my irons. This game is disappointing so far.
