For anyone that is interested - PGA Tour 2K21 is on sale at DLGamer (make sure you pick U.S. or Europe for your store) for basically half price. Standard ($29.40) and Deluxe ($34.30) versions available (the following are US links). The game activates on Steam.
I just purchased it an played one round at the nearby course of Quail Hollow. Graphics are really not much improved over the older The Golf Club 2019, but I can put everything on Ultra and gameplay is much smoother. No glitches, no stutters. Game swing mechanics with the X-Box controller still seems solid - hard enough to make you work for it.
Started out spending 20 minutes playing dolls with my character. I know. Where do I turn in my Man Card?
Game interface and mechanics are still good - maybe even some improvements…
Took me a bit to get…cough…into the swing of things in my first round. I’m using the “Pro” swing setting, which seems unforgiving enough. Double-bogey - bogey - bogey - par…I thought maybe I was starting to get some of the old form back…
But then things went sort of meh and it felt familiar to be having fits of glorious shots along with horrible failures in my bump and run game…
To my surprise, this latest edition of the game still has not modeled throwing clubs…darn…
Well, at least I can say I’m consistently inconsistent. 36 and 36 for a +11 score of 83.
So I set up a new society under Mudspike GC. I’m not sure how you join if you want to play - perhaps search for Mudspike in the societies page or something. I set it to Private so that we would only get Mudspike alumni.
@Rhinosaurus used to be the curator of the previous Mudspike club, and he no doubt has some tips to offer. I set the first event to start on Thursday morning (11/26) and run for four days with four rounds. I have no idea what I’m doing with the Round Settings, so I kept them pretty tame…moderate greens and fairways, moderate weather.
Hope to see some of you on the course! If not during the tournament, maybe at some other point!
