Still my favorite golf title is Tiger Woods PGA tour 2005. The commentary, the in-flight spin control and most epic part which was when you nail the timing on a tee shot to have the slow-mo banger send you on your way. Ive bought plenty of golfing titles between then and now but I still keep going back to 2005.

But in EA's game, there's no way to shut any of that off. There is so much hand-holding, it feels like a target practice game with the auto-distance club selection, and the targeting arrows and landing spots showing me where my shot will end up. Also -- and this is really important to me because I don't have internet all the time -- EA's game will not start up AT ALL without an internet connection.

The inclusion of the Majors, a ton of premier official courses, a better career mode and the truly current gen visuals swing it (pun intended!) for me.

Seem to be fairly cut and dry now that we have all the details. Gameplay and mechanics and graphics will go to ea, 2k win's on variety also due to the fact it has a course editor the societal aspect (online) for 2k i would assume would be much stronger as well as the fact they also added crossplay. Last to add to that list although its probably a little gimmicky it does feed back into the societal online aspect and that would be Top Golf. Presentation and sound im sure will go to ea for the biggest reason owning the course licensing to the majors, course presentation will have that tv broadcast aspect to it being able to have all that on screen branding and what not. The biggest weakness i see for ea is pretty clear, no course designer i think really hurts the game's longevity. Won't deny coming out of the gate with 30 courses and a few more a long the way is strong (this will be an even bigger blow if they charge for those courses outside launch again considering the competition). For 2k it would be the game engine, unity has got to go, unreal or something else please. Now the game doesn't look horrid by any means however put it up side ea pga tour and to me it looks like we have a current gen and last gen game graphically. I held off on 2k will get ea pga tour even though that blow to the gut hurts with no course designer.

It was discussed at length when it was revealed that they will only have 30fps on console at launch. If you are able to play on pc it already has higher fps. I know it was harshly criticized (rightfully so). That being said based on the community feedback it seems like they are expediting this on their timeline. What expediting means is clearly up for interpretation. Hopefully this is high priority and we know more in next few months.

Okay so I'm playing the 3 day 2k trial here with my Son over the Easter holidays. The game is only 26 euros to buy ATM too. Absolute Bargain. I've downloaded Ea Pga Tour 10 hour Trial. Gonna play a few games vs my son with this too and let him pick which to buy. Both of us get the game when one of us buys it (Dad will buy obviously) 🤣 That's what I love about Xbox. Anyway I'm getting off track. We've been having a ball lately playing a game I didn't think he'd have the least bit of interest in but it's also renewing my love for the Tiger woods series. I'll let you know which one he picks ☺️

I was a huge Tiger Woods PGA Tour games guy, until Tiger got dumped by EA. But if I had to make a choice, I like EA even though 2K’s create a course is phenomenal! But because 2K is crossplay and not as smooth looking, I’m going with EA PGA Tour. Now if 2K next year gets the LIV Tour, and is Next Gen Console only, then count me in on that. But with all that EA has to offer in courses and ball physics, as well as weather dynamics, and Augusta National… yeah, I have to go with EA this year.

Have both games, Despite mixed review on EA PGA Tour, but I still prefer the EA PGA Tour. I don't know how my laptop performance and fps is stable playing EA PGA Tour rather than 2K23 with same setting (High), which with that setting the graphic still better on EA PGA Tour. And the control are much easy on EA PGA Tour (3 click and Analog Swing in EA PGA Tour feels more forgiving). Also using bluetooth controller weirdly I feel more delays on 2K23. The plus side from 2K23 is Course designer and can get course from community, and it seems many mode you can play and it's cheaper (with discount it's almost half the price of EA PGA Tour).

The option for Arcade style has me sold!! I miss the old Tiger games… Not a fan of 2K golf.

Dude I’d riding ea from somebody planning on getting them both (already have 2k) The 2k community can make all the courses & ea will probably charge $5-10 per course. Ea pga is 30 fps so even if current gen, it’s not too relative in the debate. My last comment in regards to the “ground being different per course” is simply a sales pitch..they been doing this in madden w/locomotion, spotlight passing etc But we all know it’s just empty words when we get the game Like I said, getting them both but 2k seems to have a massive long term advantage

I own 2k's game and love it. Will buy EA's game as well. I am concerned about the goofy ball physics in the EA trailers....looks to me like the ball is rolling through the rough like a Que ball on a pool table which is really concerning....don't like the goofy mid flight spin control EA's seems to like putting in their game but whatever. Both companies need badly to implement competitive online tournaments/rounds with the option of scoring based on handicap (or net scoring). One of the biggest turn offs to playing in anything online (golf related) is seeing a leaderboard with some dude leading with a -24 score after 18 holes. It makes those modes unplayable.

All the goods. 2k does have the designer which is really cool, but over 50% of the courses are dogtracks useless courses anyways.
