PGA2K21

WELL HELLO - My world is all excited this week - BUT FIRST - I NEVER put two and two together before.   

When I was growing up in my impressionable stage I lived at 420 Jones Avenue in Fort Atkinson. 

FOUR TWENTY!!!    I was doomed from the very start of my life. 

***************

ANYWAY - for any golfers out there who dabble in virtual golf  the game we have been literally waiting for all of our lives comes out Thursday.   HB Studios has made a MAJOR improvement on their The Golf Club software and LITERALLY listened to everybody's suggestions. 

Seriously - I have never heard a group of testers get more excited.   PGA2K21 is crazy good for the serious virtual golfer.

So many things.  One big problem was Xbox, PC and PS4 all had slightly different swings because of the hardware being used.  NOW - you can calibrate your swing as often as you like so the three platforms are all equal. 

You can also choose different clubs with each club having a different charistic. Want more yards? you can have them but you will sacrifice forgiveness or maybe shot shaping or being able to control the distance.  So instead of  Beginner clubs, Pro Clubs and Master Clubs there are now SIX different skill levels and thousands of combinations of clubs to use.   want a different 7I to spin the ball more?  Want a 6I that will give you more yardage but less forgiving?   

This game is SO customizable.  The career mode is crazy good.  The announcers have over 20,000 comments and of course the course creator is so so good if you get into it.

Of course TGCTours will have their tours going but are taking a month off to re-code everything and make new rules.     

The course designers who got the early version are all going nuts and the pure golfers that got it early are all super excited at the roll-out 

Seriously  So many amazing things in this game/sim its crazy BUT . . . it's harder.  ApexHound has a good review of the software if curious

PGA TOUR 2K21 Preview - THE NEXT BIG GOLF GAME?


That is all for today - just had to get something out.
