I don't understand why so many complaints throughout these updates. They are doing a good job of trying to improve the game. I think everything they are doing is great and with this attention to detail they will eventually get it right. Gotta give HB/2K or whomever is responsible credit for striving to make the game it's competitive best for "simulation" golf.

R2: -1.
-7 at the cut.
Game isn't fun anymore on XB on Master. Perfect, red slow 30 yards short right, or red fast 30 yards short left, that's it. Brutal. But I still can't stop coming back. Might have to cut myself off soon.

Finally starting to feel like the game is coming back after my CoD hiatus, from the burnout of competing with the red fast meta. Was a little closer this week to were I felt I once was. I still made too many dumb mistakes to win the thing, but should have a decent finish. I do hate to hear that some are losing enjoyment in the game with the new updates. As much as I was for it, I admit it seemed an odd time to make the change this late in the year. I was hitting all perfects before perfects were cool , so if anyone that is struggling ever wants to hop on and talk tempo (specifically ps4/ps5), I would be more than glad to help. Just shoot me a message. There are several others out there that I am sure would be more than willing to do the same. In at -46 this week tho. Really feel like threw away 6-7 shots, so I would imagine a few people creep past that into the 50's. Good Luck everyone!

I think everything they are doing is great and with this attention to detail they will eventually get it right. Gotta give HB/2K or whomever is responsible credit for striving to make the game it's competitive best for "simulation" golf. They've made the only important factor of the game tempo, which is completely tied to varying degrees of input lag throughout a game due to internet connection, controller connection and the lag on the course itself. What they're changing it to is probably the worst possible way to make the game competitive. Not the mention the pure ridiculous fact that .001 seconds too fast or too slow changes the result of your shot by up to 30 yards but if it's .001 seconds the other direction it has no impact at all. The current system of the swing sucks to put it lightly. I can't imagine how somebody who is just picking up the game feels if they don't want to play on beginner because they've played golf games in the past. That isn't even getting into the fact that vibration is a huge queue in this game since they completely took out the ability to just play with feel ... and now playstation did the controller update on the PS5 that makes it to where I can barely feel any vibration queue at all. Golf games are supposed to be a relaxing and immersive experience and that's the absolute last thing this one is at the moment, but I'll leave it at that. I hope others are still able to get past the game flaws and enjoy the wonderful TGC Tours ... I'll definitely be missing the weekly tournament.

133rd in GIRs. How do I make cuts? -15 going into the weekend. And I had a double bogey on 15 round 2 and a bogey on 18. Definitely should have been at least -17.
Seriously, I can't keep getting away with this....

First off course was stunning. Really enjoyed the setup. I think the gameplay now is a challenge but a good challenge. Ps5 is a different beast to the ps4 tho. Gameplay is amazing and you get exactly What you put in. Its very unforgiving tho. Ps4 you can calibrate and it will poll a certain way and you get away with alot more. Ps5 is mega accurate and your swing polls everything. Even putts. On ps4 if you hit white perfect its in. In ps5 you can hit white perfect and it can be 1-2% out and itll stop short or die under or vice versa. Controller is also a different beast. Its uber sensitive and it you lapse in concentration you will shank 3ft putts. I can understand now how people on different systems get differing results and the ps4 has always been the wepon of choice. Itd be interesting to hear others feedback who are also playing on the 5 as they seem few and far between. And i only have a few players on my friends list who are gaming the 5! Good luck all left to play and look forwars to hearing feedback!

Hey up I have struggled since the updates I wasn’t exactly setting the plat tour on fire since I came up But I was making cuts Now unfortunately I don’t get into the second part of the week. Still loving it though My question is how long roughly does it take to play your plat rds I’m thinking maybe I rush too much . I don’t feel I’m rushing But I’m really trying to change for the better For me a rd takes around 25 mins and I’m talking about the real tourney rounds not practice
Regards 👨🏻🍳⛳️

I do talk a lot during my rounds because I stream them all, so it does add time. It does help to take that time and do the math and practice swing and all that, but 25 minutes seems pretty good if you're doing it all in your head and focusing hard.
Maybe it would help if you just make sure you reset yourself after bad misses or breaks. Deep breath, practice swing, think a little about the next shot and don't focus on what had just happened. I do notice when I make a bad mistake sometimes I rush a little too much on the next one.

Was that directed at me? For me a rd takes around 25 mins and I’m talking about the real tourney rounds not practice I need to have a good rhythm, so I'm rather quick and usually play all four rounds in one session. Last time, I was surprised a little, though, as I played Plat then TST and noticed that both screenshots had been taken one hour apart. So, yeah, that makes it 15 minutes per round on TST. I tried to slow down a little recently and should be at around 20 minutes per round now. Cheers, Kevin

Thanks for the replies I’ll definitely try a ghost maybe my own so I can see where I messed up . And your right Kara I do rush a hole of mess one up. It’s like my head says quickkk quick get a birdie. My calculations are pretty solid. Tempo mmm I have had to try using forgiving irons. But even long par fours with wind against makes them really tough . I have no problems with tough. But playing badly and making it tough is a different thing altogether . Thanks Regards and good luck for the final rounds of this championship.
Hey up ha sorry no mate it’s just a bit of Nottinghamshire/ Yorkshire coming out.

I only played about 27 holes since the last changes. I still think all the changes are for the better, but I'm just at a phase in my life where I am moving again, dealing with some trouble in projects at work and managing our family's transition with a toddler and a baby. I feel like if I could sit down and play three or four rounds a day for two weeks I would be fine on the new settings but I just don't have the time.
If you don't see me on the leaderboard for a couple months it's not really a protest or lack of belief that I can handle the new settings. I think I could get my WGR back up near the top 10 if I play this game as frequently as I played TGC 2019, but I need to play enough to re-learn the course management strategies for where my misses are going and especially where I can get up and down from.

Good luck all left to play and look forwars to hearing feedback! I'm a converter from Xbox and I'm loving the PS5! I've never played on PS4 but it's good to hear it's tougher than PS4 as I can feel good going toe to toe with PS4 users!

I only saw the calibration vid that eek did yesterday on ps4 and its a joke how just by calibrating it in a certain way gives you guaranteed perfects on ps4. I tried it on my ps4 yesterday and its unreal. Perfects 99.9% of the time using tougher clubs. Ps5 youve got no chance. I recalibrated it the same as ps4 just hitting slow/very slows and all it does is give you red fasts on ps5 it took me 3 more calibrations to straighten it back to a neutral tempo its crazy. Even slowing it right down its still red fast. Even using forgiving irons. Ps5 is a different beast. You dont get 1 or 2 perfects polling it rounds to the point. Making it super accurate. Even the putting ps4 has 2.5% so if you are close to what you need it gives u desired % needed. Ps5 reads everything if i want 33% i can get 31% perfect to 35% perfect and either have potential to miss ps4 you hit 35% it gives you 33% and vice versa. I wouldnt change it for the world tho cos im still enjoying having a go every week. Even if my swing has gotta be 100% faultless to get a w. Its a challenge. Id love to see a scoring average across the tours to see what the difference is between all systems.inc next gen

There's too many polling points for it to round in that zone. Stoked to get a proper next gen version of the next game!
