SkyBlueBen the start of this video might explain why you saw 185 green speeds on Chicago GC, it’s down to your passive boost for your putter. Unfortunately this video is not your answer. The greens default speed is 186 on both PS5 and PC for me. On the PS5 my character is only level 30 and has zero passive skills. Given that three people (two of them me) at least see 186 speeds on the greens at Chicago GC it appears that it is just another advantage for XBox users or possibly you may have used something other than the default ball which may have slowed things down or possibly you misread the speed. Given that your inherited course also bequeathed you a playoff spot perhaps it isn't that bad.

I only had two games to play and I lost the first one and the next person didn’t play so I won by default. Edit: I’ve only ever used the default ball I won’t use anything else the green speeds will be the same as Ben had so no advantage gained on Xbox.

Everyone can use the green speed-changing ball sleeves in this competition! I can’t and won’t enforce Default balls. Besides, if you only play TGCTours and are done with myCareer, what else are you going to use them for?

LEFTY79 and everyone else Thanks you for running this society it must take up a lot of your time and it’s appreciated. I can honestly say if there is another season Chicago Golf Club will not see the light of day for my team.

Well played Ben Default ball used as well 186 green speed cost me a few shots. Fair play to you Les for using a default ball. Learned something today, though I'm sure it has no doubt been mentioned here before, about magic balls and the use of. But, I have no intention of using them myself, prefer to stick with the ball used on TGCT.

Fair play to you Ben it was a good match went all the way to the last I had a 10 footer to get the Hail Mary that might have given me the win, well played Sir🫡 👏

I don't even think about them unless someone else brings them up.

Now you tell me Les 🤣 Think I’ll get rid of these skill points altogether. PITA. Never and I mean NEVER applied the skills. Does not make sense to me to be boosted for doing something bad (i.e. missing FIR or GIR).

Considering I missed playoffs by 1 stroke using Default balls, I shoulda asked for clarification on consumables in the stretch run.

You went on a absolute roll, no pun intended, in the new game.

I’m not sure if anyone roller coastered more in your Power rankings. I was sitting DAL after week 5 up to #8 and back down to mid pack.

Wild Card Match - Saints @ BuccaneersAs the Front Offices of these two Divisional rivals play a game of 'If you show me yours, I'll show you mine', the Saints played probably their last game of this topsy-turvy season. The lack of the sort of Hail Mary that has kept their dreams alive this season will probably be the nail in the coffin for the Saints. 24 points just doesn't feel enough in a playoff game in benign conditions. It feels like the time to reflect on this roller-coaster ride the Saints have been on. It all started back when TGCT played pro difficulty and the Saints weren't terribly good and even worse playing Master difficulty. A few lucky breaks and a general air of apathy among others meant that they reached the end of the PGA2K21 era at 4-1 and entered the unknown of the new game as one of the better placed teams (although not topping their division). Although finishing as a CC-D franchise they were classed as a Platinum-level team and played the next five weeks without any security blanket in a world where nothing made sense any more, even giving shots to perennial pro-tour players. They slipped to 6-4 by the end of week 10 (coulda, woulda, shoulda been 8-2 but hey! what you gonna do?). Q-school found them back in CC-B and they were probably one of the faster teams to adapt to the new game. Still languishing behind the Bucs due to their early season loss at home to them. The tail end of the season had seen them evicted from their beloved home at Hacienda Del Roque which didn't make the trip to the new game. TPC Louisiana wasn't as friendly but the Saints kept limping on. They were third in the division on the final week of the regular season with the Braves and the Buccaneers playing each other. They had to win at the struggling Panthers (tick), the Bucs or the Braves had to win (tick) the Eagles needed to lose (tick) as did the Seahawks (tick). Somehow the Saints are ranked six and off to the Raymond James for another crack at dem Bucs. Oh deep, deep joy 117 greens on one of the trickier official courses. 24 points and two lip-outs on #9 and #18. I hope it isn't to be enough, as, whilst I could probably use a good ass-kicking, I probably don't need to get annihilated by the Giants. Thanks again to Tyler and let's see how the land lies down the line.
