I just played my first two rounds yesterday, and now after watching your video I've found answers to two or three of the questions I had. Thanks so much for your video. This is all pretty new to me since I haven't played video golf for many years. This really is a great game, and I am looking forward to putting in many, many hours playing it (I'm retired so I can do that)! Thanks, again!
Nice video North, really helpful. I played the last couple of games too and after a couple of hours I was quite frustrated with the new mechanics, especially short puts (which should surely be easier than long ones)! Keep the guides coming.
Thanks Jon. Yeah it felt weird at first due to having the swing speed of the others stuck in the head. In my first 2K21 video (if you didn't see it), I was smashing the ball at Sawgrass! Would have damaged the pin in real life with the force the ball hit it at! lol
I can't thank you enough for the tip on swing calibration. I played q school this morning before work and finished T50 with absolutely horrendous swings. Just calibrated my swing and managed to hit 10 perfect drives in a row on the range, heading back on the course now with more optimism than I had earlier 😅
Hey Kieloh. That's great to hear!! Glad I was able to help you. I highly recommend doing it regularly....whether you've changed the clubs in your bag, feeling tired or just as a warm up. Just so the game has your timing for those particular rounds you're going to be playing.
@@North47 nice one, thanks for the reply also! Quick question on the calibration, does it always calibrate on just one club to gauge your swing - or should/can you do it per club set. Driving is going great for me - but the irons are a bit all over the place right now
@@StevietheTV4569 no problem at all. Unfortunately it's just the driver that is used for calibration, at least at the moment. I was wondering the same myself a few days ago and tried to change clubs.

Good looks I was shanking to the right bad now I'm down the middle everytime
Just got the game...Anyone else frustrated that you can't seemingly improve or customize abilities of the player at all? maybe that was typical for the Golf Club series but one of the things i loved about Tiger woods and Rory games was improving as you move on and choosing where you allocate your attribute points. I find it incredibly annoying that my player hits a 9 iron 142...like I hit a 9 iron further in real life. Seems incredibly lame that you can't customize that especially when in real life bryson is out there driving the ball 350 yards half the time.
I mean i would like a chance to get to some par 5s in 2 and not use a 3 wood on some of the longer par 3s...its literally laughable. if we are just gonna blanket rate everyone it should at least be in the normal range for a better pga pro. 300 carry for the drive, 270 3 wood, 180+ 7 iron. I understand the "average" stats may be close to whats in the game...but any top 20 golfer has the ability to hit much further...they just dial it back most of the time. frustrated to be so limited and just awful to use woods and hybrids on par 3s when u see pros using 6 and 7 irons on the same holes in real life
I'm not sure what you mean? It's very easy to drive the ball 350+ yards and reach par 5's in 2. You just need to select the right clubs. There's no stats on your golfer because the TGC games (which 2k21 still is without that in the title) are more simulation based and not arcade. The main focus, or idea behind the game(s) are you and maybe some friends as well going for a round of golf on the weekend....it's also basically a level playing field type thing for the likes of the societies. I could play 10 hours a day and level my golfer stats up very fast. You or anyone else might only get the chance to play for 30 to 60 minutes each day and you'd be left in the dust.....which would cause a lot of complaints from people who can't play very often. It's very easy to unlock and get longer hitting clubs, some of which are available right out the gates. The driver I'm using (TaylorMade Sim) gets 335 to 350 easily on most holes where you can hit a big drive with no obsticles in the way.
@@simpedros4766 seems and easy fix is progression for career mode and flat ratings for society. but don't you think you shouldn't be limited to a 290 carry on a drive? just seems limiting to me. maybe have an option to lose serious accuracy but get up to 310-320 like the real life players can do.
Excellent Video North just got the game and looking forward to starting. Historically i have never been great at these games but with your tips i am now looking forward to it. Thanks
Hey Stephen, you're welcome. Hope you enjoy the game, or are enjoying it (sorry for the late reply). It has a decent learning curve to it. If you're finding it difficult at first, don't be afraid to drop the difficulty level down and use the true shot aids etc to get a feel for the mechanics of the game. Then as you get more confidence move up a difficulty level and/or remove 1 or more aids/assists. But most of all, the main thing to do is just have fun and play it the way that makes you enjoy it.
@@steveperkins6308 I haven't gotten round to doing one yet, but I believe RespawnTV did one. But what I did myself when I first got hands on with the game, was head to the driving range and turn on the true shot options in the difficulty settings. Then without hitting the ball, went through each club and shot type adjusting the loft and attack angle. It shows you on screen how many yards are taken off or added. The attack angle fully lowered only takes up to a couple of yards off, but will inrease the spin rate. One to get a good idea of the spin for each club and shot type is to create a large green in the designer but don't publish it. Then you can change around the elevation, wind, green speed and firmness to your liking and keep rewinding shots as much as you want.
HEARTBREAK HEIGHTS will be published tom morning around 9 am .. Please give it a go.. its something different thats fa sure 🙂 mostly roof top tees.. took ages to create,, play pins 1 for show pins 4 for a real test... little bit of wind would make it more fun... have a go and let me know what you think.. . all the best guys MOE Mark-Of-Esteem 🙂
Hey man it has been a very long time. I hope all is well. I've finally got this game and of course I look to your expertise to help me get through it. i’m horrible I can’t even play it on amateur because of the swing mechanic. but I legit play for fun but I’ll definitely be looking to your videos for help because I’m definitely going to need it.
Hey Levi!!! Yeah all's well with me, hope the same for you too? Which part of the swing is giving you trouble the most? The timing/tempo is quite different to previous games. Animation is faster now. But swing vibration/haptic feedback is useful to help get a feel for it, especially on partial shots. One thing to do, if you have it on, is turn off the power bar at the bottom!! That's more or a distraction than anything else and you'll find yourself leaning towards that when swinging. Trying to stop the line in the perfect zone on that can really mess up your shots.
@@North47 hey man. Glad all is well with you. I'm having problems on the up swing that's where I'm really all over the place. I've been working on it so I'm getting a little better. I m even playing on pro from time to time. It's still hará figuring out witch cluns to use at which time but i'll get it. I do like the game though.
Hi Steven, sorry for the late reply!! Glad you're loving the game. It can be a rollercoaster at times....one round you're loving it, the next can go bad and you want to uninstall!😂 but that's when it claws you back in for more.
Thanks Wingy. It'll probably be frustrating at first as muscle memory for tgc2019 will kick in. So getting that swing tempo out of your head will be a great help especially for putting as it's very sensitive/fast now.
Since I need the power bar to dial in my shots and have vital information to make shots, my swing tempo have become so inconsistent that I gave up and just turned swing tempo off for now because I needed a confidence boost.
Hey Fire, yeah I recommend turning it off for any shots not on the green as you'll tend to focus more on hitting the white zone than the actual swing which will play havoc with your tempo. It's very useful though for putting, so could be worth changing it to putting only if needed.
North47 So it's better to have it off when not putting, huh? I don't like it, but I'll turn swing timing back on, change the power bar to putting only, and play a PGA Career Mode round to see how it goes.
@@MarioPal32 in my opinion yes. The haptic feedback is very useful also as the controller will vibrate once you reach the "perfect tempo" zone for all shot, including putts. It's very subtle and easy to miss though with putting. But if you just barely move the stick enough to trigger the putter to start moving back slowly, you can hold it there and wait until the putter reaches that vibration. Doing this a couple of times will let you get the feel for how far to let the putter come back. Will be very useful if you're playing in society events where the power bar will be completely disabled by default.
North47 What the hell?! I changed my settings, changed my driver, calibrated my shots, and even on the driving range, my tempo has seen a noticable change. I don't understand why the power bar, an intended feature, screws up the timing when enabled...
You're welcome Doug. Hopefully they're helpful. You'll love the challenge!!! It's much more rewarding now when any shot or putt goes the way you want it to!! You'll be doing fist pumps regularly!! Lol
So to add loft you pull back on stick, makes sense because leaning the grip of the club back will add loft and vice versa. The attack angle makes no sense. In real Golf a negative attack angle will AKA hitting down on the ball will cause lower trajectory and lower carry. Also it makes no sense to have attack angle be independent of dynamic loft because Dynamic loft is Stated loft on club +/- shaft lean +/- attack angle.
Yeah the attack angle thing confused me also when I first saw it as hitting down on the ball is further back in the stance etc. I think it was made seperate though to kind of simulate increasing or decreasing loft while keeping the ball in the middle of the stance but just opening or closing the club face. That's the best way I can describe and think of it anyway.
I am having a problem with Friends/Guest. Controller 2 identity (Wally) when he logs on. When we play a game together and I add him as a guest he has another identity which was established at the start of our set up. Hopefully, I have explained this correctly.
Thanks pal. Can't remember if I said it in the video or not but, if you've been playing tgc2019....try to forget your swing rythym for that when playing this!! Especially for the putting!!
North47 I only played 3 rounds on TGC19 about a year ago so I’m glad I can basically start from scratch. Sounds like that’ll help. Also, thanks for the advice on building out the distance spreadsheet for different types of shots and working on it while at the in-game range. I’m going to do that first thing. Great idea.
Hi VDZE. You can get this in the driving range. Equip a max distance driver (should have a carry of 290+ yrds). Hold L1 and pull the right stick all the way. Then just keep hitting shots. Hold for a second at the top of the backswing to generate the extra, after a few you'll get feel for where 103% is. Should get it fairly quick if you have a tailwind as well.
Thanks for creating this video. I learned how to putt on TGC2019 following your method. Can you do a video on how to determine the break or is it the same as on TGC2019?
Thanks pal, glad they helped you out. Yeah I can do, it's pretty similar to 2019 with the methods I use. Not sure yet if hippy's line counting method can still be used though due to no longer being able to use the d-pad to adjust aim.
Hi North. Thanks for the tips. Was wondering if you might know why I’m not seeing the elevation and wind symbols on each hole. I’m playing Pro Am and have relevant difficulty settings turned on? Thanks Andy
Hi Andrew, you're welcome. Do you have the true shot settings turned on? There are ones that control the wind and elevation. If these are set to on, the game takes the wind and elevation into account for you on each shot and disables the symbols.
Hi fitzzman, and thank you. Gkad you're loving the game so far. What myself and a number of others have found is, that the way we held the controller in tgc2019 doesn't work as well now and causes the hooks and slices. In 2019, I used to hold the controller with the right side pushed forward at an angle of around 25-30°, but now I've had to adjust it and dial back to what would be around 15...no more than 20° to keep relatively straight most of the time. A lot of the muscle memory we've learned from 2019 isn't as effective now. So the best thing I can suggest is head into the practice range and hit shot after shot making slight adjustments to the angle you hold the controller at and find the new sweet spot.
Hello and thanks for the video. I was just wondering when it comes to the wind and lie. I have played other games where for instance I was shooting into the wind I would half the wind and add it to the distance of the pin. Does this same method work in this game?? I hope you understand what I am trying to say.
Hey Will, you're welcome. It's well worth it. But just keep in mind, that although it's essentially the same in terms of shot calculation etc, it feels quite different compared to 2019 and will take a little bit of time to get a good feel for it.
Hi micheru, happy to explain. Distance: this is the carry distance your ball will get if no wind or elevation changes. So if a driver for example says its carry is 280yds, hitting perfect with no wind etc, it will land at 280yds. But it will then carry on going until around 300-310yds. The more full the stat bar is, the further the club will carry. Shot shaping: the more full the bar is in the stats for this, will give you an idea of how much aod how well you can apply and make the ball draw or fade. Tolerance/forgiveness: depending on how full the stat bar is here, will tell you how forgiving a club will be if you don't hit a perfect shot. If the bar is high, then if you don't hit perfect and your swing line and/or tempo are in the grey areas you can still get a decent result from the shot. Swing plane: this is the white line in the shot feedback after you take a shot. The stat bar for the club will let you know how difficult or easy it will be to keep your swing line inside the white area. If playing on a high difficulty swing like master, having the stat bar for this as high/full as possible will help greatly. Distance control: this will let you know how good you can control the shot through loft and attack angle, and get the ball to stop or even spin back. You'll notice that the stat bar for this on drivers will be generally low, but higher of wedges and short irons. The same for shot shaping.
Is there a setting to view the players you are playing with? We can only see each others shots. You can't see them hit off the tee or see the other player at all..
Hi John, yes there is. In the "pause" menu, make sure yourself and the other players have turn order enabled, that will allow you all to see each other's shots.
Hey SuperNolan, thanks for the feedback, much appreciated!! Where abouts in Ireland you from yourself? To get the camera to stay at your golf, you should see in the camera/presentation section of the settings the option for automatic follow cam. If you turn that off, it will then stay, but you can use the d-pad to change the angles. Left and right will be sort of tv broadcast style, and up will follow behind the ball. Down will reset it back behind your golfer.
Ah man that's fantastic I've made a style of clubs similar to yours and the rest of the tips are top notch ☺️ and I'm in Swords here in Dublin. Keep up the amazing work ☺️
To me the game is just way way too hard. I'm shooting double figures under par pretty consistently on Master on TGC 2019 but in this game I can barely break par on Pro. The swing mechanic is insane....u can only hit the perfect if u hit the ball ridiculously quickly, A steady tempo isnt even possible.
You have to remember that it's a brand new game, forget 2019!! Although shot calculations and such are the same, the swing is faster. If you're playing with the power bar on, I recommend turning it off either completely or only have it for putting. It will mess your tempo up completely. Don't forget to regularly calibrate your swing as well. Was just watching one of the guys livestream, kept getting fasts and slows. Told him to calibrate the swing, which he did and then he was hitting the perfects. I've been playing the game for just over a week and only in the last couple of days starting to get more consistent for 7 and 8 under rounds on pro.
@@Jake-Jasper what exactly makes you think it's garbage? Genuine question as maybe I can help you out with something that's going wrong and correct it for you? You've only been playing yourself for maybe a few hours. I've been playing for just over a week, the game has a learning curve that everyone needs to get through.
North47 the swing is terrible, how can I be so inconsistent on the swing every time , it may be a new game but it's still Tgc with a new name..maybe im being too quick to judge but after playing tgc 2019 and loving it, this is frustrating ..the putting is also glitch, its not smooth at all
@@Jake-Jasper I wouldnt disagree although I have found that by slowing the backswing u have that bit of time to time the downswing and that helps. I'm hoping that by persevering we may still have a really good game here.
Hey Southernrun. When calibrating the swing it's actually just 10 shots with the driver, no other clubs (yet at least unless they patch that in). But even without changing clubs, I recommend doing it regularly just to be sure you get as best a swing timing as possible.
Do you have to pay for the game or you download it the similar way as WGT? also is the game region specific, can you play it when you are in Africa specifically Botswana.
You can buy the game either digitally or on disc. Doesn't matter where in the world you are....if you have a PS4, xbox one, PC, Switch or Stadia you can buy and play the game.
How would you compare this to say Tiger Woods 08? I'm not convinced the career mode has enough immersion in it but I can see the visuals and controls look great. How does the career mode stack up?
Hi Robert. Personally I wouldn't get the game strictly for career mode. It is decent, but will get stale quite quick after playing one season. The only real reason to keep going back is to unlock clubs and such from sponsors. The real meat of the game lies with the online societies and the sheer volume of community created courses.
@@Enwrong_ you're very welcome. Hopefully soon we'll get some news/info on the next game. I've noticed a lot of people starting to get impatient regarding it and feel that this game, as great as it still is....has run its course....no pun intended!🤣
@@North47 I ended up picking it up for 15 euro there on Humble Bundle, 1 euro of it goes to charity so that's my justification towards buying it. Enjoying the content from a fellow Irishman, keep it up
Unfortunately no, you can't reset them they're stored server side. The best thing to do to get them back on track is play a course you know you'll most likely score well on a number of times.
Hey Cameron. Not sure about if you're on xbox or PC, but on PS4 once you have the controller vibration enabled in the PS4's settings then it should automatically be on. Haven't seen anything in the in game settings myself for turning on or off vibration.
@@North47 I am on xbox. I'll have to chack tonight. Maybe it IS there and I was just so caught up in learning the game that I didn't notice it if it truly is that subtle.
Buddy do you have a video on what clubs are best I'm new to this bought to clubs so far but don't wanna be buying any if you know what I mean. Appreciate it thanks
My own personal opinion is, there are no set "best" clubs. Myself, if playing on master swing will go for the gold grade through all clubs. On pro will use the purple grade. Some people will go for purple off the tee, giving max distance but the least forgiveness and control. Then go down through the grades, having the most forgiving wedges to get as much precision into the greens as they can. It's all about finding the balance that's right for you. But keep in mind that, if a particular set up of clubs works well on a lower difficulty, they could be a nightmare if you move up. But even a full bag of the shortest distance, and most forgiving clubs can keep up and compete against the longest and least forgiving ones.
@@North47 I've just encountered a problem my characters appearance as change back to default I don't why. Do you have any clue to what the issue is? Thanks man
@@Northside7777 sounds like you maybe have just one outfit? There are 5 in total, one for casual rounds and one for each of the 4 event rounds. If you have created outfits for all 5 of them, you need to make sure that the 4 for events are equiped/activated, otherwise when playing they'll go back to default, or your casual round outfit.
Pretty much what it does is register your personal tempo/timing for your swing. So technically you won't actually notice anyting. But it helps across all platforms because everyone is different with their swing and/or the controller(s) they have. So rather than putting the game out with a set tempo for everyone, which can be no problem for some but cause issues for others, we can now set our own. It's great as a lot of people on xbox said tempo was near imoossible in tgc2019 compared to PS4.
Hi Dennis. The backspin can depend on a number of factors. The first being the clubs themselves. You should get actual backspin movement from the ball from the lob wedge up to the 9i, although will be very minimal with the 9i. To get the most possible backspin, when holding L1/LB (don't know mouse and keyboard controls for PC), lower the loft and attack angle lines all the way. The attack angle (using the right stick by default) will generate the spin, although backspin can be achieved from just using max loft. You will still get "backspin" from longer clubs, but what it will is just help the ball to stop a little quicker, which can be very useful with mid to long irons on the longer par 3's or approaches into long par 4's and 5's. The firmness, speed and slope of the greens also come into play. The softer the greens, the quicker the ball will bite after touching down and the spin will be initiated. I have another video (in same playlist as this one) for knowing your clubs and getting an advantage. In it I'm on a custom (and horrible looking lol) practice area in the designer. However, if you're not familiar with the designer, you can go into the pratice facility in the game and change it to the chipping practice. From there, press circle/B to get into the overhead view and move the cursor over the fairway area of the driving range. Then in the pause menu, turn muligans on, and you can hit as many shots into the green from that current selected pisition as you wish. This can help greatly with getting to know how your clubs will act when out on a course.
Hey Nick, sorry for the late reply. Depends on what clubs you have equiped. But for any clubs, to get a little extra yardage on top of their carry distance you can hit a slight fast downswing. It will add a bit of draw to the shot though. With the likes of driver and woods, you can fully lower the right stick in the shot modifier. For the hole in one, are you going for the trophy/achievement? Off the top of my head, Sawgrass and Victory Village would be 2 I'd play to go for that. Pin set 1 the par 3's are nice and attackable.
Thank you! And yes I am going for the achievement. It’s so much easier in Mcilroy pga Tour for hole in ones. And I’m use to in Mcilroy pga Tour by ranking up and getting more yards.
I have a putting tips video on the channel with a couple of the methods I use myself for reading the greens. They're very accurate. You won't drop every putt in the hole, but they can hopefully help you lower your score.
Hi Juan. Do you mean the power meter at the bottom of the screen? Depending on the clubs you are using and swing difficulty setting, the perfect zone may be smaller and harder to stop in. Personally myself, I find the meter to be more of a distraction in many cases, as you're focusing more on hitting that perfect zone than feeling the swing itself. In the game settings though (should be in the difficulty section), there will be options for distance control. Enabling them will stop over swings allowing you to hit full power for the shot you're set up on.
Hi Nick. Some clubs are only available for certain types. Example being yours, but also ones I had. I was using the Callaway Maveric iron, but it was only available for the 4 and 9 irons, so used TaylorMade to fill in the 5 through 8 slots. Now using the same TaylorMade's for all irons.
Hey Parker. The forgiveness is your downswing and how easy or difficult it will be to execimute a perfect downswing. The swing plane itself is how difficult it will be to keep your swing as straight as you can.
Hi Zleerp. Do you mean in career mode? You can fully reset your career, but you won't lose any previous progress....so any unlocks, sponsors completed, rivals beaten etc will remain. To reset, on the main menu under the career mode tab you should see the option to reset career. You'll then get the option to select if you want to start over in the Q-School, go straight to the Korn Ferry or straight to the PGA Tour itself. Once you've completed a season, it will start another season for you automatically.
Hey Tony. I've never been very good at fully understanding the HCP system, but it's basically an indication of how well a person in the overall performs. The higher number with a + before shows how consistently they shoot under par and/or the average score. Not sure how accurate it's going to be this time round though, but in 2019 myself and a lot of other were in the +30's and shooting regularly shooting 12 to 14 under par each round.
I've heard of this happening before for a number of people. I think what they did in the end was just started a new career and skipped the Q-School stage.
@@North47 it must have saved because I just went and started the Korn Ferry tournament and it accepted so, I won 3 on easy lol and now I'm going to PGA TOUR .. Thanks for replying buddy.
@@Northside7777 happy days, must have been a delay in it registering with the servers. They have been a bit bogged down lately. Quick tip for your sanity on the PGA Tour. If you haven't done so already, turn off the tour pro highlights (should be ok with replays of your own shots), they have a bad habit of getting hung up and not loading leaving you stuck. Sometimes can be 30 to 60 seconds, others need to completely reboot the game!
To be honest, it's entirely up to yourself. Some people can find it to be a distraction. I haven't used it in quite a while myself, but it can be very useful, in particular with partial swings. There's certainly no harm in using it when getting a feel for the game and then turning it off if you want more of a "play by feel" approach when taking any, including partial shots.
sorry this is off topic.....but does anyone know if you can have more than one career....my boy created his character for MyPlayer....and i couldnt find a way to create one for me.....i did it under guest....but i see no option to start a career with that....soooo frustrated...lol...any help is appreciated....thank you in advance!...Cheers!
increase the difficulty to one where the elevation isnt calculated for you or just turn of that specific difficuly option fourther down in the difficulty menu
For example at the 48 second mark of the video in the upper right corner it says 590 yards down 13 FT to pin, only the 590 yards shows up for me not the down 13 FT to pin or any number and up/down arrow next to the yardage to pin.
I had the same issue, we played 2v2 alternate shot and only one of us got xp, not even his teammate got xp. AND he was on the losing team AND I was the lobby host as well. No idea why.
Hey NooDLES. It's certainly a shock when coming straight from 2019!! Have you calibrated your swing after doing it in the tutorial? That could be the reason for any erratic swing tempos.
Ah ok. Pro difficulty would be the equivelant of the hardest club set in tgc2019. Pro-am might be a bit better to get a feel for the game at first. There's a few people who are long time players dropped to that to get a feel for the new tempo in the swing.
What difficulty are you playing on? Some of them are very sensitive and even though your line looks straight, you may be just outside the swing plane causing the slice.
Hi Aimee, you're welcome and tha k you also. To get spin on the ball you need to adjust the attack angle as well as loft. Loft alone can get some shot to slightly spin but it works more like how 2019 did that way and will likely just make the ball check up a little quicker. But pulling the right stick back lowering the attack angle line right of the loft will be what generates the backspin when combined with adjusting the loft.
Try to find the difficulty settings that are right for you. If you played TGC2019, you need to forget everything you learned about the swing in that game.
I haven't seen anything in the settings about disabling the reset shot animation. But the scout cam can be disabled in the difficulty settings. Unfortunately don't how to change the keybindings on PC. I would guess somewhere through steam itself?
@@Hubertcoulombe36 what keybind was it? I can't get pass the reset shot animation (have a Swedish qwerty keyboard, not American so the standard ~ does not work for me since I have to sue Alt Gr+~ (using space after hitting that button) and space is the scout cam :(
Hey Popelish. I haven't played any games on PC in few years now, so not sure if things are diffetent now. But I used to play fishing planet on PC using a PS3 controller. It wasn't ditectly conpatible though like connecting an xbox controller and had to use a software download called better DS3. It might be a case of something similar for DS4's but not certain unfortunately.
Hi Rick. Do you mean published courses that you've designed and want to edit? Or just community designed courses to play? To play a course designed by a member, it should show in the trending section, but if not, select more filters and then search (pretty similar to 2019 but laid out differently this time). If it's a course you published yourself, I'm not too familiar with that part, but I believe they should show up in the published courses section of the designer tab on the main menu.
Hi Tim, no if you reset you PGA Tour career you won't lose anything you have bought. Any progress made with any sponsors should remain as well. Pretty sure any trophies for event wins remain also.
@@timhodsondjtj596 no problem at all. You can continue on also if you want to. You won't have the option to do Q-School (I think). But at the start of each season you can select the difficulty you wish to play at....can also do the same at any point during a season.
Why can't we win money playing tournaments? Need money to buy clubs. Unlike real PGA Sponsors provide you with clubs and clothes. Do not see a purpose for XP. Doesn't seem to improve your game any. I've played and won three tournaments and didn't get one token (or money).
Hi Allen, do you mean you didn't receive any coins after completing events? You should be getting 250 coins every event you finish in career, as well as 250 every time you level up. The xp and leveling up is just for unlocking items and to give you something to work towards.
Although the backswing tempo has been removed you still need to have a rythym when moving the stick. It's quite sensitive on the push forward. If you've changed any clubs from the default ones you started with, make sure to calibrate your swing again. Even if you're just hopping on for a couple of rounds, a quick calibration will help greatly.
@Casey Hines, it's a new feature across all platforms. When you go into the practice facility you'll be put straight onto the driving range. In the options menu you can select for chipping or putting practice, as well as swing calibration.
@@raymondphillips7107 I'll have to double myself when I get on shortly. But there are 2 (minimum) sections for stats. The one in your main profile menu which gives your overall game performance and stats. I know there are stats for events in career, but need to check where the stats are for career up to the current point a player is at. Should hopefully be on within the hour and will get back to you.
Hey FishingMan, sorry for the late reply. Not sure why but for some reason youtube dumped your comment into the spam section! I plan on doing a video on how I do my putts in the next few days. Should be up hopefully around mid week if not around Friday.
Ah the joys of golf....just like irl, the game can bring out worst rage in everyone. The best thing to do, is head to the driving range. Play around in there hitting shot after shot while adjusting how you hold the controller. Myself personally, I have to hold the controller a very specific way and if I'm just the slightest bit off my shots will be all over the place. Apologies for the very late reply btw.
Hey Alex. Do you mean when loading into a course? Currently I think it's pretty much down to so many people all getting on at the same time as much as they can. Similar happened in 2019 when everywhere went into lockdown. The game was near impossible to play at the weekends. But for community created courses, it can also be down to the amount of detail and planting etc that the designer put into the course.
Hey Elvis. Which platform are you on? There was a patch earlier for both PS4 and xbox. I haven't been on the game since last night to test. But have been told it's addressed the issues people have been experiencing with putting.
North47 I am on Xbox one X. Yeah I mean regarding the putting. You have to ever so gently I mean not even pull back on the stick for the back swing and then when you try to pull up and follow through you either always pull the ball left or right. The stick for putting is way to sensative. It's almost impossible to swing straight back and straight up. Granted I like how the putting is because not even a 5 foot putt is a gimme like in other video games. They just need to tweak thee stick just a tad. I didn't check if there was a patch yet. Do you know if they fixed this issue?
@@Wizardstix23 good guessing, I'm from Dublin Ireland. I don't think I say fluke enough to be honest! So many shots and putts just end being that, pure fluke, especially when playing master swing!!🤣
@@Wizardstix23 never be concerned about the swing difficulty you play on, or even any assists you may use. The main thing is that you're enjoying the game and having fun. That's what it's all about!!
how does the tempo work?is it just dowswing?or does takeaway matter as well? i started with master and turned everything off as im a sim player.I can fit perfect shots in the practice range over and over again but on the course its a guessing game,does not seem the same,we had tempo problem with tgc 2019 in the begining as well,i think this could be frame rate related?
Hi SUPERSTROKE. That's correct, it's just the downswing that has tempo now. Althought there is no backswing tempo, it is still a good idea to play as if there were. In regards to getting perfect tempo out on a course, hopefully things will balance out of the coming days. There were a lot of people having issues yesterday due to so many people being on at the same time. But there is a server maintenance happening shortly that will improve capacity and should smooth things out. Master swing is quite a beast to control.....nevermind legend!! What the main reason could be is, that the practice range doesn't really need to load or render as much as what a course itself would. But hopefully there will be regular performance updates that can help with that. I also recommend very much, regularly calibrating your swing to help with keeping the timing as good as you can. I've gotten myself into the habit of actually doing that everytime I firdt get on the game.
I am having a problem with Friends/Guest. Controller 2 identity (Wally) when he logs on. When we play a game together and I add him as a guest he has another identity which was established at the start of our set up. Hopefully, I have explained this correctly.
Hi Sharon, apologies for the late reply. I believe you mean about both playing locally together on the same system? Unfortunately the only way for you to both play with your created golfers is on 2 seperate systems. The account which is logged in on a system will be fine, but when adding a guest to the round they will appear as a generic golfer.
@@sharonmohr1 I don't think there is anything that either 2K or HB can do about it. Reason being that only one account on a system is active at a time. Even though you could have 2 or more accounts created on the system, when a game is loaded up on any of them, that account becomes the active one and the others are disabled even if logged in.
