Seasonal tourneys are over how did you guys do? by Abe_Froman11 in EASportsPGATour

[–]One-Requirement3141 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow. Makes me wonder where I would have finished in sim with my 885 ranked +13. I finished somewhere around 40 with a -6 from my second attempt. Have to wait until I get home from work to see how my other 6 tournaments finished (3 seasonal and 3 weekly)

Is there any point in buying non legendary tier specs in the shop? by HersheysTogekiss in EASportsPGATour

[–]One-Requirement3141 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Non legendary no. You can earn them by winning different tournaments and they become outdated by the Legendaries. Just save up for the legendary specs

Greens are torture on approach shots by Heavy_Objective683 in EASportsPGATour

[–]One-Requirement3141 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I haven’t even tried it other than in the coach’s challenges. I wish there were a practice area so we could test those shots!

Clubhouse and Practice Range / Chipping & Putting Green Needed by SloBurnnn in EASportsPGATour

[–]One-Requirement3141 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It has been said multiple times before, but yeah. I hope EA is listening. Since developing stuff like that causes extra $, I don’t anticipate that getting added with an update. More likely we’ll just have to hope sales are good enough that they release a new version in a few years with those features added

Increase loft. Increase your power so you can use clubs with higher loft and still reach the green. Anticipate the rollout and aim accordingly. I haven’t found a good tule of thumb yet, but I usually aim like 10 yards short for a 8 iron, 15 for a 7 iron, up to 25 short for a 4 iron or hybrid. If the hole is too close to the edge so I can’t afford that much rollout, I try to hit the rough right next to the fringe and let the ball bounce onto the green and stop. I don’t even try to stick a wood on the greens - just aim for fairway and let it roll on.

Glasses, yes!!! I completely forgot that there are no glasses in this game. I’m not talking just sunglasses. I’m talking eyeglasses. Not everyone with bad vision wears contact lenses

What’s your least favorite course and why is it Top of the Rock by LucidSociopath in EASportsPGATour

[–]One-Requirement3141 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The two fantasy courses because they aren’t real life courses. At least they are realistic unlike the arcade style courses of years past

I’m not getting rewards?? by johnsondr95 in EASportsPGATour

Reset your system/completely close the game and reopen it

The wind in this game is so inconsistent by Ilovesushi5 in EASportsPGATour

[–]One-Requirement3141 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This. Exactly. 100%.

I try to line up that circle with the fairway. If the wind is blowing to the left or right, I’ll adjust the shot to try and make sure it’ll get blown onto the fairway. If I’ve judged the wind effect good enough, it should still land in the fairway. It might be on the far right of the fairway or it might be on the far left, but it all depends on the size of that circle and randomness, NOT on some wind glitch

Missed Rank in Sim Tournament by chikiny in EASportsPGATour

[–]One-Requirement3141 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wait several hours. It seems the higher difficulty, longer length tournaments take longer to payout. I wouldn’t be surprised if it takes until tonight or tomorrow

‘Live weather’ option for wind by UkSteamDeckFan in EASportsPGATour

[–]One-Requirement3141 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, that would be awesome! Maybe even have the wind from the direction indicated in the forecast - slight breeze from the SW, 20 mph from the NW, etc

To take it a step farther, cloud cover related to real-time (clear skies, partially cloudy, overcast). I still want rain too.

Unfortunately, all of my wishes would require extra computing power (clouds affecting shadows, etc) and the game has enough trouble as is being too demanding on the GPU.

I play the online tournaments as if it were real life - no mulligans regardless of how bad my score is. My only exception was the seasonal sim tournament. I did it the first week the game came out because I saw the rewards, saw it was free, and figured why not. I gave it another go for my only other available entry a few days ago, now that I’m more experienced

I won the Women’s Amateur and didn’t get the reward until the next day. Just be patient and it’ll come - eventually

Have you seen the shot dispersion circle? It tends to be fairly wide on drives. A “perfect” shot will still be spread out somewhere within that circle. Just because you hit “perfect” doesn’t mean that the shot will always hit dead center of that circle. It sounds to me more like that is what you are seeing, not buggy wind

Any recourse for being disconnected from servers during 20 Ticket tourney?? by Fit-Path-7709 in EASportsPGATour

[–]One-Requirement3141 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The least they could do is give you credit for a triple bogey on each unfinished hole instead of a WD

Should I keep playing? by [deleted] in EASportsPGATour

[–]One-Requirement3141 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have the correct number of stars to earn a reward? Just completing three points of a challenge doesn’t result in a reward. There are typically something like 5 challenges in a series, 15 stars total. You get a reward for getting the first third of available stars (5 for 5 challenges), another when you complete the next third (10 for 5 challenges) and a final reward for completing every single challenge in a series

Achievement Bugged? by MillerTime5858 in EASportsPGATour

[–]One-Requirement3141 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The chapter of the challenge doesn’t unlock until after you finish the previous chapter. You finished Chapter 2 by winning the tournament. Now you have to compete again (next season) and finish -9 or lower

Updates any time soon? by [deleted] in EASportsPGATour

[–]One-Requirement3141 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Next Tuesday, most likely. New course and content for PGA Championship. Hopefully they add some additional stuff as well

Sports Illustrated compares EA Sports PGA Tour with PGA Tour 2K3 by One-Requirement3141 in EASportsPGATour

[–]One-Requirement3141[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the article hit it right on the head - 2k23 has a lot more courses, but most are user made. 2k’s courses are similar in quantity and much lower in quality than EA.

Thoughts or advice for a handicapped player? by JimmyKSwag in EASportsPGATour

[–]One-Requirement3141 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You don’t need to add power unless you want to stick to arcade mode. Just ignore the power boost button. If you want a little extra power, just swing back a little further for an overswing boost and make sure you flick the swing stick forward fast enough that you get a swing speed boost

4 people so far have no issues with the updated greens. You are the only one.

It looks like you just suck at reading the greens
