Didn't see in the article, but hoping we can assign a name to the golfer created in MyPlayer. Essentially being able to create and bring in the LIV players is my overall aim.

Yahoo! Confirmation!

"A new wrinkle with PGA Tour 2K23 is that you’re able swap out courses for certain events to help keep things interesting and not leave you playing at the same places every season. Many will also be happy to know that events will no longer end with two golfers tied atop the leaderboard and without an official winner declared. Instead, there will now be tiebreakers, which can be aggregate or sudden death depending on the event."

Watching the NextMaker videos...and the "consumable" golf balls do sound a bit "pay to win"...

Golf balls do have levels (rare, legendary, etc.)...you choose the look/model of your ball - all default golf balls are the same. But you can then add the level to it to add attribute bonuses. These are the "consumable" sleeves that have been discussed. One ball = one round. So if you buy 6 balls, you can use them for 6 rounds and then they are gone and you have to buy more.

TopGolf rounds count against your ball...that's interesting. So don't use your "consumable" balls when playing in that mode.

One thing mentioned in the Seamount video is that you cannot use ANY created course to swap into career mode...it has to come from a list of 2K approved courses...which means there will probably be no way to swap in a replica/RCR of real host courses...

Anyone else noticing the jerky transaction from back to forth in the putting stroke or is it me?

Watching more of Seamount's video...he said that leaderboards seem to work, so that's good!

It also looks like Tiger Woods is going to be the alpha on the leaderboards...he was at the top of the list right away in the first round that Seamount played.

You can have 3 sponsors at the same time...clothing, club, and ball.

Seems...odd...that you'll have LPGA golfers as your rivals in PGA Tour events...the female golfers are even listed on the FexExCup standings. Just a little immersion-breaking to me, when Lydia Ko is 3rd in the FedExCup standings, and Lexi Thompson is 4th...

It seems career mode is the place where people are going to "grind" to improve their player. Leveling up seems to happen quicker in playing career mode.

It also seems like grinding will be a thing in 2K23...I am sure some will love that, and some will hate it.

Got some interesting info from CrazyCanuck, too...There will be a "Random Number Generator" component to club progression. Basically the fittings, balls, etc. are going to be random drops.

Stuck at work so hard for me to watch the videos, but has anything been mentioned in regards to playing rounds alongside real pros with your created golfer?
