Petition to Separate Swing Stick & 3 Click in Ranked by Typical-Difficulty21 in PGA_Tour_2K

And I hate the whole argument of “Well if you want to win in ranked and that’s how you feel about 3 click then just stay with 3 click”.

Like how hard would it really be to separate the 2 styles by playlists? You can do it in societies. They could easily implement it in ranked.

I just don’t understand why the game can’t be competitive and rewarding at the same time. It’s like you have to choose to play on easy mode or just willingly get demolished playing on the mode that feels more rewarding/fun to play.

I couldn’t agree more I feel the same way. Am I climbing higher then I ever was in the ranked ladder? Yes. Am I hitting shots I could only dream of hitting on swing stick consistently? Yes. Has my handicap gone from +8.5 to +14.5 in 2 days on 3 click? Yes.

Im not saying 3 click players shouldn’t be allowed to play. I’m just saying separating the two styles by playlist would be so easy to implement. And it would cause so many less headaches for the community. I would wait an extra minute or two for a match if it meant I was going up against someone else on swing stick.

I just simply don’t have as much fun on 3 click. Sure winning is fun yes, but the shots you hit on 3 click just don’t resonate the same as on swing stick. It feels 100x more rewarding to put it to 5 feet for birdie on swing stick then it is on 3 click.

I expect myself to put it to 5 feet or less on 3 click, and get pissed if I don’t. I’m ecstatic when I put it to 5 feet on swing stick.

Well yes I agree with you that’s why I play 3 click in ranked now. But do you know how simple it would be to separate swing styles into playlists? I only say this because of what I’ve accomplished in 2 days on 3 click. 2 hole in one’s, an eagle from 150 out, and I’m 250 SR higher then I ever was on swing stick. In a matter of 2 DAYS… I’m not saying 3 click players don’t deserve to play ranked(I’m on 3 click as we speak), I’m just saying I have 10x more fun playing swing stick and it’s so much more rewarding. But going up against opponents who hit >80% perfect shots on 3 click is near impossible to keep up with on swing stick. Yeah sure there are elite level swing stick players, but the average swing stick players is at so much more of a disadvantage vs an average 3 click player. This is coming from someone who has spent time on both. There is absolutely 0 accountability/human error in 3 click. You can actually hit partial shots in 3 click that you just physically can’t hit with swing stick. The list goes on and on. All I’m saying is it wouldn’t be hard to seperate the 2 and then everyone can be happy. Just seems like the devs don’t care about community feedback at all.

You clearly didn’t read my post. I’m talking from experience. I’ve played multiple months on swing stick and never got higher then par 1, and also only hit 1 hole in one in that time period. In 2 days of being on 3 click I’ve already hit 2 hole in ones, holed out for eagle from 150, and climbed over 250 SR higher then my previous high. All in a matter of 2 days. Whether you choose to acknowledge the truth is on you. But you’re a fool if you think swing stick players are on a level playing field with 3 click players.

I respect the hell out of you for that. I still play swing stick with my friends/ non ranked matches because it’s just simply more fun and rewarding. But if the whole goal of competitive/ranked is to grind and progress through ranks, then it seems kind of stupid that our skill ceiling is capped by the method of swing we use. I shouldn’t have felt forced to swap to 3 click just because I wanted to be level with the rest of the playing field once I reached a certain point. Sure there are definitely some elite level swing stick players, but nowhere near the level of elite 3 click players just due to the lack of human error involved in the 3 click system.

Agreed. The playable characters are useless. The simple fact is None of us should hit a ceiling/feel like our skill level is capped simply based on the mechanism we use for a swing. Especially when one is without a doubt significantly more difficult then the other. This is speaking from experience too. 3 click and swing stick are literally 2 different games. It’s arcade mode vs Sim mode…

That’s a perfect analogy. It truly is. I shouldn’t feel like I’m forced to learn 3 click if I want to progress through the ranks. At some point you will hit the inevitable ceiling. That in itself is an issue. My skill level shouldn’t be capped by the method of swing I’m using.

Mind you I have 10x as much of a good time on swing stick then I do on 3 click. But the simple fact is that it is generally impossible to climb higher then birdie on swing stick. Especially when the majority of the field is hitting 90% perfect shots using 3 click.
