Doesn't society play give you rewards as well? Or am I misunderstanding your point? Does it? Been under the impression career is the quickest way to level up. Is there a good way to earn VC? game seems very stingy dishing it out |

I believe it does, but it doesn't show you at the end of each round/event. I have no idea if the pace of those rewards is equivalent to grinding career mode, I've only done a bit of society play at this point.

Played the platinum event...I'll NEVER be on that tour, at least it doesn't look like it now. Played Elite and Kinetic...was better, but not by much. I think Master is the way to go for Elite and Kinetic. I haven't played anything on Pro, just don't think that will be what we go with on the tiers that aren't platinum. I tried 3 click on Legend and that might be harder than the analog swing...WOW! As far as TGCT and the golf balls...I only played with them to achieve a trophy as I'm trying to Platinum the game...but I DON'T LIKE THAT AT ALL!! The ball stuck to the green like it was landing in the mud every time. The putting was slowed way down and was just not fun at all. I hope we can all agree on just using the standard, generic golf ball for TGCT  I absolutely hate upgrades for balls, clubs, and crap like that. Just give everyone level ground and duke it out. Please do away with this fitting and upgrading in next game. Just make it about swing path, timing, aiming and give everyone equal playing field. Yeah, and while we're at it lets go to the local club on a weekend and make everyone use persimmon woods and balata balls. There's nothing wrong or unrealistic about club fittings and balls that have different attributes, the only thing they stuffed up was making the balls change the green speed when putting. I'm not a fan of temporary boosts either, I think the skills could have been implemented better in that the golfer gets a little bit better at certain areas of the game over time, as you do in reality. |

I couldn’t disagree more. They gave a reason to grind out single player mode this year. You can build your type and fittings around the style you want to play. It needs some balancing for sure, but this is a huge upgrade to the game overall. Just signing on the game to play societies is a small portion of people that play the game. Easiest thing to do to combat ball type is very firm and very fast greens. The problem is that single player is an absolute grind in this game. I haven't even played a player created course yet because of the mediocre career mode. I feel no immersion, just feels like playing against it a fictional leaderboard. I have to turn off the highlights because they are just awful. Should never be forced on people who prefer society play in the game. Luckily I'm 1 skill away from the passive skills as the triggered skills are too arcade for my liking. I have also fitted most clubs. It’s just so much… I strictly played societies in the past and I don’t even know where to start with club fittings, choosing the type of player, what the hell sponsors do, type of ball… I just want to get going on societies but I feel like I have to grind out my career just to have a chance at competing. |

Played both CC on Pro and started Kinetic on Masters and the Pro is definitely too easy. The only thing that suppressed scores was the course selected for CC. Playing on Xbox and got a few lag spikes a round causing very fasts into hazards. Master difficulty feels pretty well balanced in terms of difficulty for the average player such as myself.
The one thing I actively dislike, especially with how slippery greens can be in this version of the game, is not being able to see distance and elevation information on the marker while putting. The default intention is pretty poor in my experience on downhill putts, and not being able to tell if you've drifted longer or shorter than intended when turning to play for break has burned me a few times.

Thankfully the last row of skills are always active so worth getting. Not really interested in the temporary triggered boosts either. Regarding the balls, I would never play a ball that changed any course condition, no interest in legendary balls whatsoever. I want to play the course how it is set up against others on a level playing field. Still can't believe they introduced something so utterly rubbish into the game. Give me firm and fast, me against the course. It will probably chew me up and spit me out, but not always 😉 |

It has become apparent that you cannot please everyone. HB/2K have to cater to the biggest audience and that will be 90%+ of people who don't even know TGC exists. They could, however, work with the societies on how best to focus on what they want, which as I see is the ball issue. I haven't a clue how Doyley will go, but at this point, I'm not sure I would qualify at CC-L on Masters. I'll likely grind until I get better, but that's on me.

Just a matter of deciding which level of each one to use depending on club type I suppose. The temporary ones I do find silly. If I go play a real game and my swing is off that day and I miss three fairways in a row I don't suddenly get a boost that straightens everything out, although I am at a point now where if I am missing consistently one side I can usually work out why it's happening and adjust to straighten up more. |

I can understand working your way up to a certain level but the temporary boosts and balls that stick to the green, come on… That could ruin societies including TGC tours unfortunately. I’m not for it…. |

I’m not for it…. I don't like the sticking much either to be honest, but I'm not against different balls having different spin and flight properties, real balls do after all. The problem also is that the balls with the best spin also seem to be the ones that stick too much. Spin doesn't mean no bounce. I am using the magnet balls but I tend to go for the common/uncommon level to avoid too much sticking that the higher levels produce. |

Played 2 rounds of Plat on Legend: Round 1: +1 Round 2: -4 A lot more fun to play than I expected actually, really had to concentrate. I also played the first round of Elite and shot -9 I think. I am a player where I feel Master is too easy and Legendary is a little too hard for my skill, but both were fun. I was Plat last year and I would have no problems with Legendary if i get there again. I may be lynched, but if we do go the legendary route, having the lie grid back would be a huge help. I don't know if I hit a perfect tempo but maybe once, but I noticed that seemed to shoot the ball a off line a little more based on my lie. Looking forward to trying out some more of the exhibitions tonight. When you say legend do you mean full legend without green grids? |

Veteran player here, around CC-A/Kinetic during the last years: Tried CC conditions at PS5 and I agree with the messages above, this might be too easy for many people and we will end up needing -50 scores to get a promotion mark at week 2. My scores were not spectacular, but just because I was trying different shots and options around the greens, with horrible results Regarding locking ball types at societies: I saw a recap video from TheApexHound (who of course was trusted by 2K to test the game the first and who will for sure be listened by them) and he noted this as THE biggest defect they have to get fixed. I would rather bet on it, it is absurd that it is not possible right now. IT WONT HAPPEN. |

Look guys the game is what it is now get with what 2K want to make this game or just stop playing the game if you don't like it it's as simple as that. Things are changing get with the times or stop playing.
2K put the balls/fittings in for a more interesting game, again play with it or leave simple.

Nothing wrong with different balls and club fittings, but there's no such thing as different golf balls changing the speed of greens. Higher spinning balls will roll out less on greens from approaches into them, that's fair enough, but they make no difference to putt weight, and that's the part that should be removed.

Event: platinum/legend
Swing type: analog
Archetype: powerhouse with skills/fittings for weaknesses, regular ball
Previous level: CC-G
System: PS5
Scores: +12 +11 +3 +3
FIR: 33 / 60 / 67 / 53
GIR: 28 / 28 / 61 / 56
3 putt: 0 / 11 / 11 / 6
I’ve played the game exclusively on masters before these four rounds. The first two rounds were bad with lots of very fasts on all shots. Realized I didn’t recalibrate for legend swing. Last two rounds were better. Full swing only had 2-4 very fasts. Bunkers and partial pitch shots killed me.
After recalibrating didn’t mind the legend swing. The first two rounds were very frustrating. Didn’t mind the challenge after calibration, I’m sure would be some frustrating rounds at times but I didn’t mind it. Would have to practice to get bunker shots and partial pitches down. Right now would prefer masters but that’s what I’m used to.
