PGA 2K23

I very rarely get any holes in 1.

5 eagles in one round is mad stuff.

I know there was a big score (think it was -60) for the winner of the recent major.

Are there any considerations for making the playing conditions harder for a major ?

Something that suits the major we are playing ?

So for the British Open maybe super fast/hard fairways and greens ?

Yeah I can do that if you want lads but do you want wind and rain on for all rounds

And same for super hard and fast fairways and greens.

Also if you want a small entry fee?

Yeah maybe one wet day and then up the wind/green speeds all round. Could throw in an light round just for variety.

Entry fee is all good, I'm sitting on loads of in-game currency.

Did you go for fast and dry or wet and windy ?

Just so we are all ok here are the settings if you think they are OTT then let me know and I'll dial it back a bit

what console are you guys using ?

I’m thinking of buying a ps5 for when they release 2k24.

I'm on a PS5 myself, suits me fine. The occasional stutter on the first hole (drive usually, sometimes approach) if I speed up play too quickly but flawless otherwise.

Agree on playing the longer tees mostly, although playing for green placement is fun.

Yeah. Owning the physical thing you want is the only way.

Have had many occasions where albums just disappear on iTunes and it’s been a nightmare replacing them. I have huge regret for selling any of my physical music

I’ve always been happy to wait 2-3 years before upgrading my games console. It’s obviously much cheaper to buy and great second hand deals that will include games.

Also, you have 2-3 years of game reviews so rarely buy a stinker. The games are obviously greatly reduced in price second hand too.

Yes I will buy the next version for sure.

There is room for improvement. They will hopefully overhaul how you can interact with replays of shots. Like changing camera angles as the shot replays. There are other improvements I’m hopeful for too.

I can’t remember playing EA PGA Tour but I know it was slated in reviews so maybe I didn’t even buy it.

You guys are too good at this game 😲

Enjoyed the buzz of playing in the British Open (yes it is, let’s the Brits fight their own battles).

Shame the score got so low though and also a shame it wasn’t me that scored it 😁.

Well done Fiddy. Proper consistent scoring.

I’ll be all out now to try and win the next two majors.

Maybe we need to move up from the Pro-Am settings, it's frustrating to see how easy you guys are finding some of these courses. It looked like to me the shorter tee positions caused more reasonable scoring on first two rounds.

Heading on holidays around the August bank holiday, if there are any courses you would like to play or previous ones you enjoyed or found challenging please let me know and I will load them up on the schedule.

I've just played one round so far, I saw you were +2 thru 10 so I was definitely playing more tentatively expecting some difficulties. Came off OK in the end, we'll see how round 2 goes tomorrow.

Nothing in particular for me.

I suppose I’m not a fan of the ‘arcade’ type courses but you seem to be picking good courses so keep it up !

Hunted for an eagle on 16 to try get the win but burned my chances and got a par instead. I'll rue two silly bogeys in round 1. Nice second round Fangee, I went in 3 shots clear so didn't expect to have to chase that hard until it was too late.
