Then stop buying games on release day since NONE OF THEM are finished.

My understanding is that MLB The Show 16/17 had server issues for two weeks. Hope you did not buy that t on day one either.....

I am (PS4). I haven't finished a round yet. I try to be patient and understanding: small company, niche market, all that stuff. But at the same time, when you buy something, you have a reasonable expectation that it will work the way it's supposed to when you take it home to use it. I was really looking forward to launch day and trying this game out, and now it's just, "Why bother loading it? I probably will just get booted out of my game anyway."

There's no way at all on either console I'd call it beautiful, or incredible, or great. On either console it looks nothing like the screenshots they showed which were obviously from high end PC's. Even the screens on the XB store, they look nothing like the game. It's pretty clear they're from a different, maxed out platform. Look, does it look good for a 39.99 or 49.99 (Canadian) price point game? Yup. For sure. It's serviceable, and I can live with that because of the price point, I expected that. Is it anywhere near what these consoles are capable of? absolutely not. Lets not kid ourselves with that. I know we like to root for the smaller developers, and HB/Maximum have done a great job in their 2 versions of this game, but lets not lose perspective here. I get it, we're happy we have a good, new golf game to play, but lets not get carried away that this game on either console is visually stunning as a 2018, XB1/PS4 gen title.

Some of you guys man.. seriously. Does it look photorealistic? No. Has anyone said that? No.

Does it look really freaking good on a PS4 with 4K tv? You bet. Blows the socks off TGC1. You playing on a 4K? If not, maybe your tv is holding you back from seeing the upgrade? Don't know. What I do know is im not exaggerating and I think the only exaggeration going on is calling this game "a beta", "unfinished product", etc.

This is more complete and has more features than RMPGA had at launch yet we wanna compare the two and say this one sucks. Smh.

All I know is this....During my fourth and last round, any time I was in the fairway with Tour clubs, I was able to hit the green. I finished +2 because of the holes I didn't hit the fairway or three putting etc. But when in position off the tee, I could manipulate any club's loft where the distance was no longer a concern since I was going full swing and it was just about swinging with good tempo.

Full disclosure, this was with pinpoint aiming and not range but that will be the default settings for a lot of online tournaments which is why I say the mechanic shouldn't even exist on that difficulty level.

No. I'm not playing on a 4k tv. Nor do I need one to see the upgrade. I've already stated the visuals are much better than TGC1. I'm just saying, for some to sit here and say it looks beautiful and other things like that, is a bit crazy to me. Is it an upgrade? Yup. I already stated that. Is it what we should expect out of either console? Absolutely not IMO. Is it acceptable from a smaller dev? Yes. All of those things I've said. I've not said a word about RMPGA... but if you want to go there, it's by far a better looking and running game visually on either console, that's not really up for debate IMO. As for the gameplay, IMO, both have their merits. Not sure why we're so quick to jump to playing the comparison game here. I guess that's kind of what I'm getting at though. There seems to be this insatiable need here to praise this game, and I get it, small studio, great effort, pretty solid game for what they've got to work with, I'm just not sure though why were trying to pass it off in it's current state as something worthy of these consoles. Look, I'm not bashing it here. I'm enjoying it far more than I thought I would, and it plays and looks far better than TGC1, no doubt, I'm just saying, lets not get too carried away here. That's all.

The connection issues, yeah, that's a problem. Like you though, I can overlook it temporarily. That doesn't mean I find it acceptable though either, because it's not. For any game company IMO. However, I get it given their position in the industry. So, I'll give them time to work it out. I do agree though, not sure how we can clamor it's unfinished or a beta at this point either. It's clearly finished IMO, just having some server issues. Maybe they didn't expect the server load they got with some good sales today, or maybe some of the new online features caused some issues, who knows, but I'm sure they'll iron it out because I dont recall these issues with TGC1.

Like I said, I just feel like some of the over the top praise here might lead some astray. I found it a bit... outside of reality. Again, not taking anything away from it being an upgrade, it is... but it's not like it took a jump from TGC1 to what you'd expect from a XB1/PS4 game.

This game doesn't have any 4k assets. Yeah it might look a tad better on a better tv but to insinuate a tv is "holding the game back" is kinda silly.

TGC1 had the percentages on the side of the lofting table that really made it easy. It's much fuzzier the way it's done in TGC2. Combine that with the new wind meter and the inexact range to target and it's not going to be a math exercise like it was in the first one.
