Solid content as always @Respawn Sports, but very much worth mentioning - The hunt for a full legendary bag is going to take a long time and playing at a disadvantage by saving all fittings until the best is available isn't really advised for anyone who is not an uber-hardcore/competitive player. If you are a casual or even semi-hardcore player the odds of achieving a full legendary bag, with all "custom legendary" fittings is highly unlikely without really dedicating many many hours to the cause. The benefits of equipping fittings as you play are tremendous at the rare/epic level. They can give you an edge in competition and make the game more enjoyable overall. If you are trying to min-max and are willing to grind at the base level for an extended period of time, this is definitely good advice. If you are looking to enjoy the game and min/max'ing isn't the goal, I would suggest you make use of any Fitting that you feel will provide value to you on the course.
Good advice Craig. I always take it through the lens of myself being uber hardcore, but you are absolutley right, equip the fittings as you go to achieve a more powerful golfer as you go. Pinning this because it is very solid advice.

This is a VERY useful video. I've been playing 2K3 on the PC for a couple of months and enjoying it, but honestly I had never fully understood the Fittings, nor the Skill Tree. I was blindly just spending all my points. Thanks a lot, Respawn.
The first video of a series of tutorials that will be coming to the channel. I will go over the game, the basics of mechanics, some advanced mechanics (wind, elevation, putting, etc) and everything in between. Thanks for the continued support on the channel. This has easily been the best month of my content career. Appreciate you all.
Great info, man. My question pertains to sponsors: how do I raise the tier levels of my current sponsors? I understand using gear, equipment, etc., but is it truly based on performance? For example, 2K is my ball sponsor but the tier level does not advance even though I’m using their balls. The same thing is happening with my Nike sponsorship. Any thoughts?
Hello, thank you so much for this video. I previously played a lot of pga2k21 but this has been a huge help with breakdown of attributes and advice on the career mode. Keep up the amazing work
FYI for the tier 7 skills, you actually do get all 3 bonuses if you get level 3 on those skills. I just tested it with every club, the transition and timing bonuses are still there even if you level up past level 1 and 2.
Man, thank you for this video!! I bought this after playing 2k21 religiously but ti bought this awhile back and turned it off immediately because the UI , menus, were confusing as heck. Thank you for this. Great job!
Nice content, I haven't even look yet at the fittings, over me head at the moment. This is going to help for sure. I'm struggling with the greens/putting but enjoying the game. Cheers 👍👍
Thank you so much for that video. I have just started playing the game and I had no idea how the fitting works. So now I want to trade up to legendary to get the best clubs. I also have no idea how the skills works, so that is going to be my next video. Keep up the good work
Thanks for vid man 👍🏻 This was legitimately helpful. I played a tiny bit of 2k21 but want to really sink my teeth into this one so I’m so glad I came across this vid.
I had 2k21 on the Switch, I did not play it much. Then I refound my interest in actual golf. So to keep the feeling going I bought a PS5 and started playing 2K23 last week. Ive already got on the Kornferry Tour and now have sponsors! how cool!
Thank you very much, this was very helpful. I traded in everything I had to get a bunch of legendary fittings. Still grinding though as I need the points to apply them. At least I'm not wasting my time and there's a plan of attack.
Damn I wish I saw this video sooner…I didn’t know that about the fittings!!! 😮🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️ I’m on my 2nd season… haven’t gotten into competition online play yet…still getting comfortable playing the game
I should've watched this before I started playing a week ago...😂 There's a lot I don't understand. Definitely changing 4 rds to 1 in career to boost payouts..
Since I know I'm going to be playing this for a while I'm gonna sub to your channel. Thank you. I'm still a little confused with the VC and the skills so this video might be helpful.
I think we’ll see a lot of fine tuning in irons too. So maybe your 4 and 5 iron you want more power fittings and 7 8 9 you want more control and scoring attributes
thanks for the tips! great video! yeah the buying the fittings was really weird and confusing for me when i first played this game i figured it out eventually tho… i didnt know that about the upgrading the rarities by combining i thought you could just sell them i need to READ more lol 😆
Great Video. I have only played a handful of rounds so far. The thing that I find the hardest is the short chip shots, no matter how I swing I get fast, very fast or a non swing. I'm not sure why.
Can you do a video explaining what the opponent difficulty sliders are/do? The ones for cpu event skill deviation, round skill deviation, cpu attendance. Perhaps recommend what percentage for cpu skill based on what swing difficulty one uses, no power meter, etc. I personally have green grid, wind meter, elevation on while using legend swing. Does making the course conditions harder affect the cpu scores? If you have already done one, sorry. Love the videos you've done
I just bought the game for only 15 euro on steam and thanks for this upload dude. Haven't been playing any other golf game then WGT and I'm really excited for this game.
Hey man! Thanks for the video. Do you know if fittings stats apply to every game mode (i.e. casual with friends or online) or is it just applied to my career?
thank you very much, without your help I would have quit the game for sure. iI have just reset my skill points but most of the skills are locked 🔒. I have many points but I'm forced to spend them in the first three categories, how do I unlock the others? 🙏
If I customize my fittings on lets say my driver, but I unlock another driver I think is cooler and add it to my bag, will the custom fitting stay on the new driver or would I have to do it all over again? Thanks for the awesome videos!
As a total newbie to the game, and series, and genre, I appreciated this video. I have seen a few people mention starting on pro difficulty if you wish to play online. I do wish to play online, as I love online competitive gaming. The problem is when I changed it to pro difficulty last night I went from being half-decent, to completely woeful. I put in a few hours but I was getting frustrated.. Do you think I should continue to torture myself learning pro difficulty? Or should I ease myself into the game by playing on amateur? Would appreciate any advice from a professional on the game, thanks.
Have fun! I try to get to as many questions as possible. If you have any about the game, let me know here or over on Twitch and I'll try to help as much as I can.
Great video! Pumped to see you're killing it with the post release content. I always turn to you for insight on how to improve and now with the new mechanics of skill attributes and fittings we'll all be tuned in to see what you can figure out. If it helps anyone else out there, I noticed a huge improvement to my play on 23 after I switched to Greensman and applied all the decent fittings I had. Every aspect of my game improved so for anyone holding out on fittings or sticking ti powerhouse maybe give Greensman a try and apply those fittings that seem logical. If anyone is looking for people to play with my PS4 handle is same as my RUclips. I finally published my new course Streamsong Black Forest2 if anyone is up for offering me some feedback that would be awesome. Keep up the great work and I'll see you all on the course!
8:00 WTF??? Why do they have to make this so complicated??? SEriously I've watched this 4 times and I'm still confused. Okay so you got these columns with the icons, but why are they separated by club type? It looks to me like you can only give a timing boost when using drivers but you have to add skills per club, and then alternate between catch-up and boost... I'm glad they put ratings in, but you need a 20 page manual just for the skills. Very bad job 2k! So how do I view my ratings and how do these "skill points" affect ratings?
I’m very late to the party, been with EA the whole time and I am done with it, to stale, store sucks ass and have not done a thing with the game so here I am. Great video to start off with and very informative THANK YOU.
I just played it on beginner and played my career. Played all the tournaments and beat tiger at the end. Do I just start over and raise the difficulty? And then re challenge all the rivals again? After that is is just casual play and online challenges? I jsut have the basic version and not the premium. What do club house passes mean?
I dont understand this assignment of skill points and the player characteristics thing ( demon putter) of whatever its called...what's the point..it wasn't in the last game
I really want them to go back to the swing meter on the bottom of the screen. Can hit the ball batter on 21 then I can hit it on 23. 23 is more frustrating and annoying
My problem with 2k21 was that while it's good to have so many different ways to fine-tune difficulty, sometimes too much choice can be a bad thing. For example, I never got the hang of swing timing. Fast, slow seemed to be just random to me, like what am I doing "slow", but if I turn it off it's way too easy, if I turn it on I get FIR about 12 holes if I'm lucky. We can adjust swing difficulty overall but I don't like that timing is either ON or OFF. Maybe in this new version we can do that or get a swing timing boost from those skill point thingies.
My aim with this version - as with all previous ones - is to master the basic skills involved to get better at the game. I'm not interested in levelling up a massive RPG skill tree if it's just makes the game easier. I just want to get to a point where my player's abilities aren't changing and the improvements I see in score are purely about my own skills. I wonder whether that means I need to grind extremely hard early on to 'max out' my character, or just to not bother doing any character updates in the first place?
I'm enjoying the game much more than 2k21 so far. The introduction of 3-click is a game-changer for me. My Logitech pad didn't work too well in the last game, and I understand it wouldn't have been allowed on TGC Tours even if I did get it working well. That wasn't a positive experience. Again, thank you for the videos. They helped me decide that '23 was worth buying, and indeed it is. It's a better game imo, and much more accessible.

Great breakdown of how to use VC and Club attributes.
just found this video, it made my mind up to buy them game thank you
I think we’ll see a lot of fine tuning in irons too. So maybe your 4 and 5 iron you want more power fittings and 7 8 9 you want more control and scoring attributes
Absolutely. I can't wait to hop into all the fine tuning of it all!

This is a great video. Wondering if you know how to set up Couch play. I keep reading it's possible but can't figure out how?
So, you can only do it with guest players unfortunately. Just add a guest in when you go to a local match.
@MoreRespawn Can you do video to how reset a swing calibration =)
I just bought the game for only 15 euro on steam and thanks for this upload dude. Haven't been playing any other golf game then WGT and I'm really excited for this game.
Very useful my friend! Explained well… 👏🏻
Great information! Very helpful!

No problem. I am happy that is has helped so many!
thank you very much, without your help I would have quit the game for sure.

I have many points but I'm forced to spend them in the first three categories, how do I unlock the others?
🙏
Anyone any idea how I restart my career mode as I’ve made loads or errors spending points and not doing fittings correct
Very helpful, thanks
Thank you!
Good stuff dude
Do you know why everyone keeps hitting left I can hit the ball straight and goes left when I play people online they do the same thing
you can't use driver on fairway without getting distance cut ? seems in 21 I could
If I customize my fittings on lets say my driver, but I unlock another driver I think is cooler and add it to my bag, will the custom fitting stay on the new driver or would I have to do it all over again?
Thanks for the awesome videos!
I've tended to like the sculptor the best.
Just bought a
Set of TM Sim irons, but can’t put them in my bag. Help
Once you pay for a fitting on a club does it always stay or do you gotta re pay for it after a certain time?
I'm a 3 clicker and I've just found out that the 3 clickers can't get out of bunkers like the swing stickers . Why . Try it out
i convernet it to blues and green but everyone went towards putting , not the iron i needed it to .
Do skills carry through to online competitive games
do the fittings count in online ranked also? do they work in ranked?
I use the three click swing input, what does timing, swing path and transition do for me?
How do i change my clubs in club house i want a 3iron
In stead of 5w but cant find it ?
As a total newbie to the game, and series, and genre, I appreciated this video.

Just got the game. Might be a crazy questions but how do I get the stealth driver
How do i play as a different character. I want to be tiger woods
My problem with 2k21 was that while it's good to have so many different ways to fine-tune difficulty, sometimes too much choice can be a bad thing.
For example, I never got the hang of swing timing. Fast, slow seemed to be just random to me, like what am I doing "slow", but if I turn it off it's way too easy, if I turn it on I get FIR about 12 holes if I'm lucky. We can adjust swing difficulty overall but I don't like that timing is either ON or OFF. Maybe in this new version we can do that or get a swing timing boost from those skill point thingies.
try calibrating your swing timing in the practice menu. it helped me a lot
Pro tip here...set the opponent difficulty to 71.00...its the most realistic...
My aim with this version - as with all previous ones - is to master the basic skills involved to get better at the game. I'm not interested in levelling up a massive RPG skill tree if it's just makes the game easier.

Glad to hear on all of the above. Thanks for watching!
I tried the 3 click and never got use to it. never got close to a good swing
I just play with the default ball and don't bother changing... Curious to know if you change your ball type for every tournament?
Please make a video on lie percentage. I do not understand what it is at all
