Missed every putt in the 2nd round and it is going to probably cost me 2 demotion marks. I might be in the minority here but I actually liked the putting and was FINALLY getting used to it. I was already out of the cut line so I thought I would speed play the last 13 holes today and I went from 2 over to 9 over because of putting.....

Guess TGCTours and 2K/HB aren't so cushy after all. A swing dynamic change mid tournament is the ultimate snub

Felt like a MAJOR accomplishment once you figured it out |

Just played my first round with the new putting...
I hate it. This is not putting. It feels like my avatar is a robot.
I’ve completely lost my distance control on putting now.

I'd just got putting more or less mastered on this game then they go and change it...now I can't putt for toffee. Why was this done now especially as TGCTours has just started. Doyley can you she'd some light on this please? Need to remember that TGCTours is not affiliated at all with HB/2K - sure they have some contact as they are able to use the API's for the score pulls - but anything that changes game-wise is all on the developers HB and/or 2K (more HB) Further - although TGCTours is a nice chunk of players - it is a drop in the bucket to the entirety of the people who've actually bought and play the game. |

I just played my best round ever in PGA2k21 last night during a TST event. I thought I was finally turning the corner! Finally, getting my swing tempo down. Finally, after all these hours of practice! It finally paid off... only to find out there was a swing tempo change secretly pushed through by HB.....  |

Absolutely. Majority don't even know these tours exist....which is a shame for them. |

I don’t know if this change was implemented like 1 hour ago or what, but this needs to be talked about. Is this an Xbox only issue? It’s so frustrating, annoying, and frankly not surprising that they would intentionally or unintentionally change the SWING MECHANICS in a golf simulation video game during the opening week of competitive play. To be clear, putting is incredibly slower than it has been. My stats for putting were 90/80/13 (for short/medium/long) when I’m normally 100/100/30. Can we please go back to the way it was? Not fair to have us practice for over a month on a swing then rip the rug out from under us at tip-off. Exactly this. You can't just change it in the first week of TGC Tours when we've all been practising for weeks. I've just missed my cut because of this - played round 1 Monday then this happens and I'm +5 after 7 holes having missed 3 or 4 2 footers. |

TGCTours is a 3rd party entity that has zero involvement in gameplay changes and the timing of them. That would be on HB Studios / 2K |

Hate this putting update. Was shooting under par on Master now my last couple of rounds have been +10. All that practicing for nothing. I hate the slow putting 😡

Fortunately for me I didn’t start the 3rd round before I noticed this thread. Played a practice round and literally missed 7 birdies inside 10 ft and two tap-ins. I’m sure I will figure it out but damn man, I was draining long putts on the regular and really enjoyed the more difficult game play. But I guess all those that wanted an easier game won out.

You guys all complained about the putting so HB changed it back to 19 style which everyone seemed to enjoy. Now you complain they changed it back. Give it a little time to get back used to it. If you can’t handle that hiccup than Idk what to tell you.

Hate the new putting too. It’s like putting through treacle.
Wish it was reversed back to the original before they started faffing about with it. You need a mallet now to knock in short putts.
Probably love it in a week, but my short putting has gone to pieces for now.

I’ve been on the north woods for a few days when did this happen? And what is treacle?
I guess I better play a practice round when I get home LOL.

If you can’t handle that hiccup than Idk what to tell you. I see what you're saying...but I feel for a lot of members that spent a great deal of time learning a certain dynamic in a very tough game all for naught. It's a kick in the junk to some people. To put it bluntly I think the main point people are making is...they fixed something that wasn't broken...it was just difficult |
