Product Information

To play this game on PS5, your system may need to be updated to the latest system software. Although this game is playable on PS5, some features available on PS4 may be absent. See PlayStation.com/bc for more details. From there, you move on to the archetypes, and it is advised that you start by using your strengths in the game. Rithim is a good place to start if you are new to the game, giving you the most forgiving swingpath. Puttpath and swingpath are the most important attributes to consider as a new player. Another good option would be greensman which also gives a good balance toward the middle.

The smaller issues I had with 2K21's on-the-course gameplay are gone in 2K23. Putts with proper speed seemed to drop into the hole more often, which is great because there were too many lip-outs that didn't really make sense in the last entry. Hitting out of the rough also feels more realistic this time around. Previously, the penalty for an off-line teeshot was often immense, with short rough and especially "heavy rough" making the ball react like you were hitting it out of weeds up to your knees. Wayward shots can--and will--hurt you at times, but I found that it's more possible to pull off a great recovery shot that has the higher ball flight you'd expect.

I'm not as sold on the new golf ball features, as they generally feel like something that are designed to get you to spend money. Your golf ball has the name and look of popular real-world golf balls like Titleist Pro V1 or Bridgestone B XS TW, but the stats are tied to consumables. Golf balls have four stats: spin, flight, bounce, and roll. "Ball Types" alter these stats, and these consumables even come with rarities ranging from common to legendary. Sounds like most sports games these days, right? Yes, sadly it is. Hit the links with more swagger in PGA TOUR 2K23. Now featuring playable male and female pros, including Tiger Woods, new licensed courses, more control options, an authentic PGA TOUR MyCAREER, Course Designer, and new MyPLAYER Skills and Archetypes! The real bummer here is that I’ve had to spend so many words analyzing all that ancillary stuff, because once I’m playing a hole in PGA Tour 2K23, most of those nuisances fade away. This is a true-playing golf game — I had a devil of a time with the steep greens at Los Angeles’ Riviera Country Club, and I’ve found it tremendously satisfying to craft and execute shots. The unforgiving difficulty of the swing mechanics, coupled with the game’s complicated system of fittings and skills, can lead to more frustration than fun. But when it all comes together, and I manage to pull out a birdie just when I need one to hold off a challenger on the leaderboard, it makes for thrilling moments of fist-pumping glory.

For the first time, play as male and female pros including Tiger Woods, in online and local play. Also features licensed courses such as East Lake Golf Club, TPC Sawgrass, TPC Scottsdale, and more. Then your player is set up, and you can go one of two ways: casual or my-career. This is suggested as you gain more experience points. Here, you can change the difficulty of your opponents. Start with something very easy until it gets too easy. Set the difficulty of your conditions to easy to begin with. Level up your MyPLAYER with new Skills and Archetypes and bring the swag to the green with new licensed gear and apparel.While this isn’t ideal, it is the approach 2K has taken with most of its sports titles since the PS5 launched. So, you will just have to pay that extra bit of money. First, you are shown how to set up your player and your appearance. You can edit your entire face. and then type in your name. It seems like my best bet — if I want to more fully enjoy my time with PGA Tour 2K23 — would be to turn off downswing timing. Either that, or it might be time to put this franchise on my personal “I don’t need this stress in my life” list, right next to Elden Ring. Petite, Steven (October 13, 2022).

Always be aware of the different types of shots that the area has available, and know how to use them effectively.

Although the game gives you the distance and power it is recommended that you reduce the distance by 1 or 2 feet and then just focus your efforts on hitting the perfect power swing timing.The shot type you choose in PGA Tour 2K23 will depend on your objective on the fairway. There are numerous different shot types available. Punch shots to combat the effects of the wind, chip shots to exit the rough, and splash shots to exit bunkers are some examples of shot types. Gain knowledge about the various shot options so you can make the best use of them. https://www.golfmonthly.com/news/pga-tour-2k23-reveals-full-list-of-licensed-courses PGA Tour 2K23 Reveals Full List of Licensed Courses] - Golf Monthly (04/16/2023) I could envision this becoming an issue for someone who plays a lot of rounds online. Courses can have firm greens, rainy conditions, lengthy layouts, or any number of quirks that set up better for longer carry distances, more spin, more roll, etc. You could theoretically use up all of your stat boosts and consider spending real money if it helps you enough. Unlike fittings, this new feature doesn't feel aligned to gradually making your golfer better--it's just one of the annoyances that plagues modern sports games with online communities. It's still too early to say if these consumables will contribute to a pay-to-win model, but they feel at odds with PGA Tour 2K23's dedication to realism. After all, your golf ball attributes should be connected to the brand and model of ball.
