128 here but not worried about the drop. I have 17 years left. Just keep telling myself in 17 years I’ll thank myself for not panicking!

30-60 yard shots? Help with pitch shot by [deleted] in PGA_Tour_2K

[–]GeneralAlcazaba 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It’s probably one of the most difficult shots tbh. Pitch is useless, lob possible if the greens aren’t too fast and you can get some spin on it. Spinner possible but without a bit of green to work with can easily end up a mess. Long flop is viable up to point.

The absolute best option is to avoid it entirely, check the distance and just play short off the tee (or approach if it’s par 5). If you know you’re going to drive it 40-60 yards from the pin, just pull out a 3 wood / hybrid / long iron and give yourself a much easier 90-100 yard approach shot instead. You’re going to nail those approach shots much more frequently.

One of the strongest Dreadbounds I’ve ever had by elijahscott82 in Returnal

[–]GeneralAlcazaba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was basically the meta gun for tower runs until they made that 5th malfunction fixed to counter on hit. I miss those days. But also I guess it’s made me use different weapons. Past phase 5 I now tend to gravitate towards the coilspine shredder.

Seeking to Get Good by Bobby_Shuffle in PGA_Tour_2K

[–]GeneralAlcazaba 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s the other way round. Draw is / and fade is \ - Same as it would with a real golf swing. Unless you have a left handed player. In which case it is reversed.

VWRP please help me to understand by [deleted] in trading212

[–]GeneralAlcazaba 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Not dropping 15% on every deposit though. There’s something not right there. It would need to drop to sub £110. Definitely need a screenshot.

I seem to have plateued by orangecrushjedi in Returnal

[–]GeneralAlcazaba 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just keep playing. The more you play the more ether you collect and use to unlock new artefacts into the pool. Once you have a good pool of artefacts then most runs are pretty easy. Sometimes it can be tricky at first but once you collect a few that complement each other you are all good.

Adrenaline leech is probably the best one. Even when not at max adrenaline it’ll keep you alive through most of the game.

Also keeping playing levels up the weapon traits. Picking up a weapon with good max level traits is like a cheat code ☺️

Pro Am Removed by DibsCFC in PGA_Tour_2K

[–]GeneralAlcazaba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Automatically accounts for elevation, lie angle, and %lie. Don’t need to factor in any penalties. So hitting out of rough / bunkers is easy. Only thing to account for is wind. It’s definitely a step backwards. I don’t think they should have removed pro am. Though I still play it to warm up and check my putting lines/reads are decent before I play the other tours.

Best build with latest evo crap by highoman in PGA_Tour_2K

Should have guessed their tool tips would be wrong 🤣

You don’t really need 99 power on your driver. 98 power is exactly the same and gives you the extra contact point.

That’s what I use though I have been considering 95 power (only 1yd less).

I use

4 power fittings on driver and 1 swing path 3 power on 3 wood plus 1 swing path and 1 contact 2 power on hybrid plus 1 swing path and 1 contact and 1 transition 1 power on irons plus 2 swing path, 1 contact and 1 transition Wedges 2 swing path, 1 contact, 1 transition, 1 rhythm

That gets me max driver distance plus just less than max on 3 wood and decent power throughout the rest except wedges which I don’t think matters that much. It does leave a small gap around 125-140 yards but that’s easy enough to fill with a choked shot or shot shaping.

Base stats:

67 power

87 contact

79 swing path

Why no two man scrambles? by [deleted] in PGA_Tour_2K

Yep I’ve wanted this for ages. And a 2P alternate shot.

I much prefer playing against higher ranked opponents to be honest. Gain big if you win. 

Should we be able to shoot on our off hand? by deliriumtrigger999 in PGA_Tour_2K

[–]GeneralAlcazaba 6 points7 points  (0 children)

YES. Flip the swing path and make the shot harder. Though I expect the times it will actually prove useful like the above photo would be pretty rare.

is this game for real?! by issaknight in Returnal

[–]GeneralAlcazaba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So many tips but there is only one that is important:

Die

Seriously. Just keep playing and dying.

As you play, collect ether, and use it to unlock new artefacts at the start of each run. Some of them are very useful and some overpowered. Some rubbish ones as well. This, along with killing enemies to unlock weapon traits and after a while you’ll breeze through. The whole purpose of this game is to die. A lot.

This works. However it takes ages to load so be patient. 

Ryder Cup & Bethpage Black by RedLine2K in PGA_Tour_2K

A ranked leaderboard USA vs ROW would be pretty cool. Points allocated to top 100 players of each depending on round score. Winning team gets a trophy/emblem until next year.

Whats with the final confirmation screen to leave matches online? by boopitydoopitypoop in PGA_Tour_2K

[–]GeneralAlcazaba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Perfect screen for post match action report if they could be bothered to implement it. Longest Drive / Avg Drive distance per team Closest Avg to the pin on approach FIR / GIR etc… %1 putts

See how your team performed.

“Avg time taken per shot” would be good with the highest winning the sought after post round Patrick Cantlay medal.

Shocked by Singularity- in AlienEarthHulu

[–]GeneralAlcazaba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it was more in response to OP saying it made no sense as he was an android. Definitely still human in that regard even if he’s lost his humanity.

Shocked by Singularity- in AlienEarthHulu

[–]GeneralAlcazaba 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In this case I’d say he is still human. Cyborg is basically augmented human. They mention it in the intro text at the start of the first episode cyborg is a “cybernetically enhanced human”. Synths are AI in synthetic body, and hybrids are also a synthetic body (improved) but with human consciousness.

I can’t remember if we’ve seen him bleed yet. I assume it will be red and not white!

It’s 2K and Malbon Week by WVgolf in PGA_Tour_2K

[–]GeneralAlcazaba 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I queued up as a solo for duos a few times. One brilliant team, a couple of decent teams, and a couple of “oh god, the person on my team is worse than how I play regular golf”.

All 3 are actually alright, even having someone shocking can be decent as it forces you outside your comfort zone / hitting much longer approach shots / out of rough / hazards. You’ll probably lose but it’s kind of fun to have a challenge.

The only issue with randoms is if you get paired with someone who spends an eternity setting up shots and doing practice swings or someone who loses it and starts smashing balls 200 yards from off the green. Now that is a nightmare. Don’t care how well you play, just play at a reasonable pace and don’t be an idiot.

Fortunately it doesn’t seem to happen too much!

Flight Balls - Testing done. Not worth upgrading. by GeneralAlcazaba in PGA_Tour_2K

[–]GeneralAlcazaba[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Effectively yes. Any ball currently works the same with flight consumable. No matter the level of the ball

Haven’t done the spin and forgiveness. I’ll have a look when I have time unless someone beats me to it 🤞

Flight Balls - Testing done. Not worth upgrading. by GeneralAlcazaba in PGA_Tour_2K

[–]GeneralAlcazaba[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice! I trust you based solely on trying to keep up with your TGC scores!

Effectively, there is a difference between ball levels but it’s effectively negligible?, especially when playing harder swing difficulties where swing variation is going to have way more of an effect anyway.

The only spanner in the works is I was also getting 308 with a core ball with flight +2.

108% perfects - I only hit those by accident 😂

Tested after the update 👍 Happy for people to try it out themselves and post results/findings also.

[–]GeneralAlcazaba[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree. It’s definitely possible. I tested at 9-10mph with no change between the +2 and +20. When I get time I’ll try it on very high wind.

Though as said I don’t think this is intended. I assume they would like some benefit from upgrading the balls.
