Mr Sucks,

Rory PGA is also on console, so TGC 1 and 2 are not the only XBOXONE and PS4 golf games.

Irrespective if whether Rory PGA is good or bad, it is available.

seriously, what is there to compete with? TGC is better off the tee, it finally has a bit of variety......and that's about it,  it needs a hell of a lot more to bring it up to snuff.

Seriously who gives a rats ass what you post about TGC2? you lost any credibility you had when you started lying about the game, fact is you say TGC2 is easy with tour clubs, IT'S NOT, i have played you a few times in PG and you suck big time, so how the hell you can say TGC2 is easy?, when we get "TGC2 is easy with tour clubs" from someone in the top 5% (you don't count because you suck at golf games).

Really Rory PGA is well past its sell by date and was a joke of a game so i don't count that as a golf game TGC1 was OK but it's had it's day there is a few more joke golf games on XBOX too but not really worth any time playing them.

From JohnEric:

 

 

 

 
LMAO.......
 
PG doesn't have any that crap

 

Geez dude, your obsession with bashing TGC game is becoming quite...uh, weird...  when you bring in quotes from THAT guy over to this forum, you may need to check your head.      

 

In any event, I am still reading reviews and seeing a multitude of issues..  I will continue to wait it out to make a decision to purchase.

Exactly Rob how pathetic from a grown adult but he's not the only one on here,revelling in the fact that tgc2 has got off to a very shaky start,saddest thing of all is that most haven't played it or have based their decision on a couple rounds

I guess much like the 500+ page thread on HBS forums about Perfect Golf, where comments made by folks who haven't played the game or given it only a few hours play.

Can't pass comment on the game from personal experience yet, only from what I've read and seen, as not yet played it.

Watched some of ApexHounds streams on YT. Some parts look OK, some not so.

Game should be waiting for me when I get home, but I'm not itching to leave work early to try it. Plus I've got the new iRacing Time Attack update to download when I get home. Golf will be taking a backseat.

Understandable.   But from what I know, it's a "when", not an "if".

 

Agreed that development pace could faster.  But for me, I'm already enjoy the heck out of this game.  When PG2 comes out, It'll be icing on a cake.

 

That's great, but most of the Betas have no clue when or if.

 

The community has no idea when or if.

 

I know they are working on it, but we have not seen or heard much about it at all for months.

 

It's hard to get excited about maybe.

100% spot on... which exactly why I completely stopped visiting that forum.   Quickly became painful to read the same crap over and over again by the same few who probably have nothing better to do.

Sell the game to a developer that has the resources and people to get it out and compete with JNPG 2 for PC and the consoles.....

The trouble with this comment, apart from its passive-aggressive overtones, is that it could put the future development of PG into the hands of armchair golfers such as for a long time dominated the Tiger Woods series and now the TGC series.  It's frustrating that the present PG devs are such a small team, but for me that fact is far outweighed by the knowledge that they have played the game to a high standard and understand all its nuances.  I have confidence that these devs will always give us a golf game as realistic as possible, unlike all the other golf game devs since Links.

Gosh a very novel idea. Golf game development by golfers rather than gamers. Love it!! :)

Care to share where I've "slagged it thoroughly".

Not saying I haven't said negative things about TGC2, mainly based on how crap I found TGC.

Yes, my mate has bought it for me. I guess you've never been gifted games.

Anyway, WTF does it matter to you, Mr I've only just joined with this username a few hours ago?

OK lets see it, do 10 perfect/perfect straight shots in succession on a course not in the driving range with tour club set.

If they don't get on with this game updating it to pg2 you won't have a game to play soon on PC, i don't know about the simulator side of things?

 

I disagree.   Simulator side is doing great!

I don't think i could do 10 straight perfect/perfect , There will be shots during a round that are not perfect  it's about playing with tour clubs and hitting and scoring well.  When i first used tour clubs i was so focused on tempo i miss hit quite a few but nailed the tempo, the trick is to forget about tempo, concentrate more on a nice straight fluid up and down and tempo will come naturally more often than not... I'm not doing a full 9 or 18 hole vid but i will do a highlight reel of one round, prob at one of my courses using tour clubs, maybe then you will shut the hell up and go practice some.

Tgc2 my personal view feedback 
 
Just a few things coming to my attention here after playing  several rounds 
 
Server problems are a hassle – I had  same problems with tgc1 as well
Server disconnecting me often when playing with multiplayer and solo as well
very bad organsing on someone parts there- in leadup i did notice they were having problems with the servers 
Had to give up many times and go get a drink- very disappointed in this 
Cannot play with my mate in multilayer- we get kicked every time- so we give up 
Maximum games and pr are very dismal on launch- cannot believe  the laziness and lack of  professional here 
Should have had more Beta testers and more brutal honest feedback
Just hope Hb listen dilliigently to fan base and act upon feedback 
Limited courses available in offline mode- as per usual - as cannot play online without problems 
Not impressed by Player Animation- very lacking in areas 
After all those pro golfers in the studio testing/recording animations- not the best outcome here 
Swing tempo is good- I like it- ads much more feel and realism to game 
Xbox one controller much more compliant for better outcome  than the xbox 360 controller 
Not a fan of those silly societies, but each to their own I suppose - waste of time for me that
Fancy  a grown man wanted to play in a society filled with Egos and younger cafe latter yuppies trend setters  Hmmm at the helm 
 
Tour pro for me is much harder, player mode skill level I can  work with – wont worry about standard skill level-too easy 
 
Club Sounds are hollow and not realistic-Tgc1 sounds were better
Lighting is bright – bunkers too bright- much to do to fix lighting
Pinestraw is terrible – never a fan of their pinestraw
They have added a freehand spline draw tool- best idea they had
but… trying to smooth out the splines is very tedious andf awkward - hope they improve this feature 
 
textures seems better- but nothing like pg
No custom game setups forthcoming   tgctours mulitplayer  setup games – still limited 
Texture transitions still have that edge on them so they dont blend in naturally and ball stops at that texture edge 
textures are better but still have that velvet /carpet style look 
Water looks ok to a point
Rocks still have a problem
Overhead map of water falls/planes  shows up blocks of water planes and doesnt not look  so good when viewing in overhead map
Xbxox 360 is definitely harder than xbox one controller- you can go into steam setting-Big picture and configure controller auto settings to improve controller playability-?
I do like the tempo based swing though- still results in some unrealistic shots occasionally
Putting is pretty good so far – dont mind it 
Scoring is harder and will bring this back more into line with reality
Porting over tgc1 courses still has some bugs, green elevtions  stilll have bugs and not showing accurate slopes 
Chip shot now only gives you 12 yard distance shot
Sand shots not giving accurate results as per tgc1 re sand shots 
wind allowance is off lightly
career mode is lacking but dont mind the crowds – this add a new experience
Still cant get that individual course look like Pg with custom textures and objects
So still limiting and not open anf free to do what you like like CF/PG
You get what they give you 
No Lidar data- as per greed from powers at be- so too bad for designers to create RCR
 
These are things I have noticed to date
They have lots to do to ammend and appease the followers
 
Courses seems to look similar texture wise/ more custom textures etc could be introduced like CF/PG
CF/PG courses uch more customizeable to give  a very individual look 
 
Water line transition with the the terrain is much better than CF, it blends in much better the CF
When you raise/lower  water/terrain the edges/transitions look much more natural and blend much better than PG.
and automatcially adds grass,plants etc to give a much more natural look 
 
I do like the green grids and feel better than PG
 
Love my golf and will play both – glad I have a choice 
 
Cheers
