PGA TOUR 2K23 Impressions

I got an 8 GB patch. I cant find what it's for.

8 gb patch

This may seem odd to some, but as a die-hard golfer and die-hard Tiger fan, this makes or breaks my purchase decision for this game: is Tiger's swing mo-capped or does he have some generic motion?

My understanding is they mo capped no one but used some kind of computer recognition thingee. The pro swings look decent though.

OK so I fired it up immediately. Nicer screens way complicated at first glance but I guess you get used to it.
Player customization is a step backwards.
No practice just fired up the game actually before the update file loaded so only Boston was available.
Same setup as 21 but used Pro rather than Master. The game is just slightly better graphically. I think the long game might be easier but it's been a while since I played Pro so not sure. The long game is fine.
The chipping was not as bad as I thought it would be but the motion is strange and stabby. I would hope they do something about that but I doubt it. The putting is other wordly awful you can barely bring the putter back at all. I guess you could get used to it but it is borderline game breaker for me.
I managed one birdie shot 83.
The player stands too close to the ball kinda disconcerting and while putting the putter is brought outside the line on what little backswing there is.

I'll eat the $65 bucks and hope the game grows on me. I think there might have been other ways to make the short game more difficult they should have never messed with the putting. Better than a stick in the eye.

Works terrific on Steam Deck if anyone was wondering.

I couldnt figure out how to make my player fatter. Is that not an option anymore?

Game looks great and on pro its hard which i like. Golf is hard, well for me anyways. Lol

Ive owned every version of hb studios golf and ive never been good at it. Tempo is hard for me big time but i like thae challenge as opposed to older tiger games where youd shoot 20 under every round.

All in all im satisfied so far. To be honest i just really wanted a golf game for steam deck.

I tried that and didn’t change anything. I think I’m a dumba$$. My friend said the currency symbol (looks like a G) is the in-game currency and not actual currency.

The challenge is great.

The player creation suite is really disappointing.
