Beta Testing Question Jan 9, 2023 16:49:25 GMT -5

How early is too early to put a course out for beta testing? The course I'm currently working on is still rough and needs a fair amount of work, but I'm just looking for general feedback on site lines/look and feel/vibe of the course. I'd say I'm about 70% done (even though my object meter is at 84%

)

All holes are 100% playable, but only about 1/2 of the holes are close to completion.

Still need to sculpt a bunch of bunkers/greens
Still need to work on a lot of planting
Still need to work on the environment surrounding my course

Gene, it's never too early as far as I'm concerned... I'm happy to play at any stage of development. When it's early days there's going to be a whole bunch of stuff you haven't done yet, so the more details about what you do want looked at and what you don't will help.

meunier33: That is what people don't get, I can't understand advice. I can only understand someone showing me what they are doing in playing a round with me. Dec 4, 2024 15:43:21 GMT -5

sroel908: Then I guess you might need to find a new game to play, or should go back to playing 2K21 or something. I don't know what else to say that hasn't already been offered as advice to you here dozens of times. Dec 4, 2024 15:16:20 GMT -5 *

meunier33: sroel908: I can play the game as it was designed and I will not improve at all, your controller and connection controls how good you are at the game. Dec 4, 2024 15:05:11 GMT -5

ghostgoblin22: oldmangaming606:spare me the hard work take, im in the oilfield, i work 14-16 hours a day and come home and try and play a fair course and you guys put this crap on the schedule, and yes i haven't been playing, just like half of the members of tgc Dec 4, 2024 13:41:18 GMT -5

bubbadave: Uggh. Boards are starting to get spammed. Dec 4, 2024 12:32:49 GMT -5

sroel908: meunier33: You've admitted you don't play 2K23 as its designed, so it shouldn't be a surprise that you're struggling with parts of it. Dec 4, 2024 9:20:08 GMT -5 *

trailducker: Hit more Greens In Regulation Dec 4, 2024 0:13:50 GMT -5

meunier33: The biggest stat that stands out to me in this game is that my GIR% is only 61, and has been for all of 2K23. I'm not sure how to improve this. Dec 4, 2024 0:04:39 GMT -5

indaho: Ditto!! Dec 3, 2024 17:51:38 GMT -5

OldManGaming606: ghostgoblin22 Dude, How unappreciative do you have to be to not acknowledge the time and effort the people associated with TGCTours invest for us to enjoy the game. Nobody is forcing you to play. But the verbal abuse is unacceptable. Dec 3, 2024 15:52:54 GMT -5

meunier33: Im seeing a lot of new courses recently that have greens that will roll your ball off the green even if you are very close to the hole Dec 3, 2024 13:33:41 GMT -5

OldManGaming606: Some of us struggling putting on greens regardless of how slow or fast the greens are. Nov 30, 2024 17:54:15 GMT -5

meunier33: 15th hole at Dancing Nun has an error. The light rough above the water hazard is marked as part of the hazard instead of land. Nov 29, 2024 23:04:55 GMT -5

sandgroper: I can hear too 😂 Nov 29, 2024 20:10:23 GMT -5

Violinguy69: Hear hear Nov 27, 2024 15:54:24 GMT -5

bubbadave: Truthfully. Give me a 170 over a 135 any day. Nov 26, 2024 17:43:11 GMT -5

sroel908: And as someone who's rangered/scheduled hundreds of courses, trying out a wide range of conditions, I can say with certainty that green speeds do have an impact and definitely matter. Nov 18, 2024 15:57:48 GMT -5 *

sroel908: Green firmness is more about how the ball interacts with the putting surface when you hit an approach into it. A soft green is more receptive, and will allow more backspin than a firm one. A firm green will have less bite and more rollout. Nov 18, 2024 15:57:00 GMT -5

meunier33: I have seen 135 greens that putt like they are 170. Therefore, we can conclude that green speed does not matter. Nov 18, 2024 15:31:35 GMT -5

meunier33: Why isn't there a green firmness meter on the score bug? Green firmness matters much more than green speed. Nov 18, 2024 15:28:26 GMT -5
