(CC Pro, analog) After 20 or so rounds of Master level play I thought I'd give the Pro level CC tournament above a try, and it was like night and day. On the 2nd round I got the fairways in regulation trophy for hitting every FIR for the first time, which should tell you something. Swing path with the irons did feel a bit more punishing than I remember in 2K21, with many shots missing the green due to swing path as opposed to tempo, which never used to happen for me in 2K21. Perfects were easy to come by, as opposed to Master where I'm lucky to get 1 in 10. The short game seems infinitely easier on Pro, and overall it was a much more relaxing experience - perhaps slightly boring.
Scores so far: -9 -11

PS5 Analog
Platinum - Legend
So far, only played Masters, so these were my first rounds on Legend.
E, -5 for the first two rounds
Not sure how I feel. Love the challenge but it is demanding (for me). Missed tempos were my problem. Recovered most times but not always. Then again, maybe that’s how it should be…

The game does start to get much easier the more you add club fittings and skills. |

Shot a 90 in my first go on platinum after only playing legendary swing. This was my first round without the swing meter though which killed me. I don’t care, it’s so much more fun. Legend settings are a perfect test. Tgct Is supposed to be challenging I thought. Hopefully a beer league can be more in line with the people that don’t want too hard a challenge. I feel like the legend settings are the most realistic sim golf I’ve played

What a weird day in golf. Brew Crew event. *At Riveria* Masters +27 CC Event +17 (though I got myself into a predicament where I over cooked my tee shot on a par three and down a cliff. Smashing and smashing until shot limit exceeded and from that moment on was speed playing just to get it over with so I can collect my loot boxes. Seems you don't get all the stuff until all 4 rounds are over? Elite Event. Just finished my 1'st round and had my best round yet since playing on Tuesday and ended up under par for the 1'st time. -4 and only one double bogey. *yeah I'm a bottom of the barrel CC hack who is struggling huge unlike you robots.* lol/j/k I think Doyley forgot to turn on the "Screw Tim" when setting up the event. Probably figured "this guy isn't going to bother trying an Elite level event. I know it's not much but for me this is a huge acomplishment so I'll slap in my score card lol   Now I have to finish the other 3 rounds so I can get my loot boxes. |

The short game seems infinitely easier on Pro, and overall it was a much more relaxing experience - perhaps slightly boring. Scores so far: -9 -11 Just had a go at the Platinum Legend tournament for a laugh (analog) - ended up at +3 which wasn't as bad as I was expecting but it was the putter that saved me from a much worse score. I think I made 2 perfects in the entire round, the barely visible hairline when shot shaping is hilarious. I found the punishment on flop shots too much at this level - missing perfect by a sliver when shot shaping makes the shot hardly go anywhere which makes it completely unviable. The stupidly fast greens were annoying me by the end - most of my approach shots ended up rolling over one side or another. A couple of bunker duffs occurred but they felt much more realistic. Overall more fun than Pro but veering a bit too far into hit and hope territory - I found there wasn't much point putting any time into shot planning because it would never go where I was aiming anyway! 3 birdies, 4 bogeys, 1 double FIR: 60% GIR: 33% Putt Accuracy - Med: 120% (Huh??) (For reference I was a Kinetic player in 2K21 and I'm playing on PS4) |

Love everything about TST, only way I play. Had a very up and down RD1 with a -3 analog, the settings are fine I would go even further and get rid of the aiming marker, might take some practice but once you get used to it, it’s a lot fun.

I’m now at level 23 and have fitted most of my clubs with what was available but nowhere near what will be possible later on. Greensman archetype. Skills have been added but not the last and most important column yet. Oh, and it’s FranS… just saying😉 |

Absolutely the aiming marker needs to go , I thought they were testing without aiming marker, but hey ho they love the marker to help with vibration and partials and to me that's not true sim , in my opinion |

I don’t have the game as I’m on the fence, but with what I’ve read about more emphasis put on swing plane, I’m curious if we might see a return of the infamous push/pull of 2019? And if so, is this something the API will check for like it did back then. I have no idea how the dispersion is and if this tactic would work, just the first thing I thought of.
The legend scoring will probably be the determining factor whether I get this game or not, I’d appreciate if every couple days someone might screenshot the leaderboards. I assume the scores won’t be on the site. If people are already scoring well on legend without even having the best fittings or stupid balls, I’m not gonna bother with it.

A couple Plat guys shot close to -30 last night. The push pull will def be in effect in 23. Let's see if it will be policed. |

I did the 2 most extreme tournaments.
Beer League: I started with 22y sliced drive, ended up at -10 in 4th round. It's tough at first, but I like it. Both swings should be allowed in regular tours too. The day a 3-clickers will win a Plat tourny is not happening soon
Platinium Legend: Legend must be the Platinium swing. The game is not even a week old and we can already feel some of the best players will match at Legend in 23 what they were doing at Masters in 21. If Platinium is master swing, green grid should be removed, at least.
And let me say somthing only one time the most polite way I can. While TGCTOURS could have 25 good reasons to choose Master swing instead of Legend for Platinium, there's one reason I already saw alot of times that isn't a good one.
It's the " let's not make it too hard cause people will be affraid of promoting ". Well, @!$#ing be affraid then. Platinium is for the 150 best players in the world at the moment, they should face the toughest swing available in the game. Keep the volountary demotion alive so the sensible people that don't want to go Plat can stay in Elite if they want

You can't hit the grey area. You'd basically be making it a closed shop. It might get to the point that's needed and I hate banging this drum. But we have no misses whatsoever on legend outside of a duff. |
