I like how they do all this in the name of realism but my splash out of the grass will still stop on a dime and backspin a foot I've never seen that yet. Xboxer though. Lol So if you hit a greenside splash out of the light rough it gently rolls out after landing?

It certainly doesn't bite and check up anymore, personally I have never seen splash spin back a foot from heavy rough on 2K21 even before the tweaks. They have eased up on the backspin from the rough it doesn't have no where near as much spin as it used to from heavy rough. Anyway I still don't play the shot unless I'm in a bunker. Now if they tweaked it and made it more difficult with twice the rollout distance I probably would use it when short sided.

Funny how the highest XBox player on the Promotion Event is in 83rd place at -11. 13 strokes behind the PS leader.
If they'd quit screwing with the splash and fix the console issues you'd see much more competitiveness. EA could be looking better and better everyday.

Many Xbox guys I play with gave up the tours a long time ago. Mostly top tour guys who have seen their ability to hold on those rankings disappear over the last two game releases because the gaps between consoles keeps growing. Others jumped ship to play on the PS console because competing at the highest level seemed to be paramount. To each their own. I was never an elite player, never will be an elite player. Never had much care in the disparity of platforms. Had good rounds and bad rounds like most people I was primarily competing against myself for pride. The amount of discussion points that brought up in the past few weeks and then seeing video evidence of the gaping differences and loopholes was mind blowing to me to say the least. I am not a tech savvy person and do not know poling points from stripper poles but seeing how different these games actually are and what you can and cannot do depending on your platform is just absurd. I stopped playing tours basically because of some good XB societies offer a more level playing field and lack of time, not because of this current situation, although it doesn't help. Others may stop playing tours or this game altogether down the road and TGCT will continue to go on without me and anyone else who decides to stop playing. I do not blame TGCT one bit for this current farce between platforms or have an issue with what Doyley said. Being that most of the user base has all these advantages at their disposal, I do not expect settings or attitudes from people on competing platforms to change. We all would like a level playing field, without question. I just do not have much faith in the developers to provide it. Rhino is the man. 100%

I really like the TGCTours format. What I don't understand is why the TGCTours format can't be subdivided into TGCToursXbox, TGCToursPC, TGCToursPS. If the current administration of TGCTours don't see this as necessary, couldn't another group administer separate tours, using the same or similar format and data pulls? Since the tours can already be sorted by platform, why can't they each stand alone for leaderboards and promotions?

Since the tours can already be sorted by platform, why can't they each stand alone for leaderboards and promotions? TGC Tours was basically set up so that there would be cross platform competition. The whole point of this league is that players can play against others not on their console, due to the fact that the game itself won't let you do that. Now, it's pretty obvious there are differences in consoles. And it seems that the differences have progressively gotten worse with each new release and with these swing updates, especially if you're an Xbox player. It's in no way the TGC Tours fault that the same game plays so differently on each system. But dividing the Tours into console-specific flights really kind of goes away from what TGCT Tours started as and has operated as since its inception. As far as if someone else could go off and create separate, console-specific tours using the same processes as TGC Tours, I have no idea if that could happen, or if HB/2K would be willing to let others get the same level of access to the data that TGC Tours currently has.

I get the cross-platform competition, but if it's not a fairly level playing field, that kind of loses it's purpose. Why not separate the tours, and have cross-platform championships for the top X% in each tour? At least the rest of us might still be able to battle fairly for promotion marks in each separate tour.

For sure...I totally get you and understand. Like I said, it's very clear there's a difference in how the game plays based on the machine you use. And a level playing field is something that should exist...but that's an HB issue at this point. I'm just saying I don't know if that's the direction TCG Tours would want to take. Honestly, if they'd go by console, it's just like playing in any society at that point. The whole idea here is that anyone on any device is competing against each other. That's something you can't find anywhere else in this game, since it's not in-and-of-itself a cross-platform title. It's what makes TGC Tours unique.

I *think* LeagueGaming used to run like that, separated platforms, for TGC 1, and *maybe TGC2* but not sure about 2. They also got access to the API from HB. Anyone else who also played there at the time could correct me if I’m wrong.

If anything changed society wise, I think it would be reducing societies and reducing the behind the scene workload vs adding more societies and workload. I mean, we don't even have 1 Legend society for everyone to hack around in.

It's not TGCTours' fault it plays so different.

Personally think the game is as close to perfect as its ever been. Drives aren’t guaranteed to hit the fairway, hit a fast or a slow and you might be in trouble and playing for par, splash shots were far too easy previously, now fixed and again no guarantee if you fast or slow one and it goes 5 yards, the balance now is really good in my opinion and I’m actually playing the game a lot more. Sometimes I’m fighting tempo issues, other times it’s bang on for long periods. I do feel it’s a game you can’t just turn on and start a tourney, you need to hit a number of shots to find where your swings at, if it feels pretty good away you go. Well done to HB and 2K for not resting on their laurels this time and actually implementing big improvements.

A lot of how a splash or chip behaves involves using the loft box as well as choosing the shot type. Hit under the ball w/loads of spin, most shots will stop.
