Just thought I'd do a review talking about my experiences with The Golf Club 2 so far, Drop a like or you're balls will go up in to your stomach tonight and never drop back down. :)
The best and most realistic cyber golf game is Jack Nicklaus Perfect Golf. As an avid real golfer I can tell you that the Real Time Swing Mouse (RTSM) in JNPG is the most realistic swing method I have seen in 25 years playing cyber golf games. It factors in the elements of a real golf swing like tempo and swing path. In addition the courses in JNPG, both DLC and community created are based on lidar so very accurate in terms of terrain. They also look much more realistic than the ones in TGC which all have a similar generic look. Thats why there are thousands of courses for TGC. Finally the ball physics are vastly superior in JNPG. There is a reason why Golf Channel and NBC use courses rendered for JNPG on their telecasts. If you play the real game check out JNPG using the RTSM swing method and you will be impressed as much as I am. I have been playing it for three years at the Pro level difficulty which is one below the most difficult and I generally score a few strokes over par. Your not going to shoot 30 or 40 under par using RTSM in JNPG. The development team is currently working on JNPG2 which looks amazing.
the swing lag i would say is a big problem. It kills great rounds you might be having, like a random 130 yard drive that goes dead right because of the lag.
This looks like the best golf sim I've seen since Links Golf on the PC. I like sports sims that mirror the real thing and not all the stupid bullshit like getting points to buy clubs or other crap that is supposed to improve your game. BULLSHIT!!!! I guess that what makes Links Golf standout and have so many gamers still playing it.
I found the putting damn near impossible, so I practiced , and practiced, and practiced until I was dropping them in like a pro. Then I went to play a course and It went back to impossible. As if the practice greens were from a different game.
Hey Apex, just wanted to leave my two cents. I think this is the best golf sim of all time. The way it mirrors the experience of golf is unrivaled in any game I've seen. Of course a Mario Golf is going to be more polished, but I prefer the sim style. I'm just a huge fan of what hb studios has done here, and it is by far my favorite golf game ever. Nice review and thanks for giving this game some much needed exposure.
@@GaggleofDoozies That's because you have little to no patience and/or limited skill. I got the game for $3 and I still play it. Yes, there's definitely a learning curve and it takes time to become good but once you figure it out it is easily the most realistic golf game out there. Sorry to hear your micro attention span couldn't handle the learning curve.
My new course is coming soon .It will be a blast as far as look and fun. Before Christmass for sure.By the way ,try this game at its most difficult setting .And it will be so close to the real sport.
Not having the online match play is inexcusable to me. Societies are cool but it's a different style of gameplay. I want to play people online at the same time! Great review man!
i played online match play on it last nigh with 2 friends. get them to go on the same course as you add them to your scorecard in the options then turn on turn mode worked perfect. so I don't see the problem there yes it would be better with a lobby system I recon but this way works just as well.
Try this tough course.Big Apple NY 2018 , Not only its a beautiful layout but the look around is un-matched so far on TheGolfClub2. + 3 from the blue tee is the record.
Check out * Canibal Falls at Capora Jungle, * if you like a challenge. It is hard, but fair once you learn the course and it's risk reward holes. Course record currently 66.
I wanna buy a golf game when I can play the PGA tour with the right names and the masters, the open, PGA championship, USA open, ryder cup etc in a career mode does this even exist? It seems that licencing is killing the potential for all sports games these days and it sucks.
I got tiger woods pga 14 there is no ryder cup but it is an excellent game all four majors and plenty more and its challenging! (As long as you play on a hard setting). Its a fantastic edition. My brother has the next version roys version and it sounds like they stuffed that one up.
James Smith Im in the same boat as you were. I was at gamestop the other day and saw several golf games. Just like you, I want content, immersive game play, and decent graphics. Tiger Woods PGA 14 is 24.99 at gamestop and I really want to try it out, but don't know if its worth considering the stripped content that apparently isn't available anymore. I was going to buy so me and my family could play on the kinect. I just like its atmosphere, but I wanted to see what your take is on it so far?
Negatives: Ball Physics. It's a pretty BIG negative. That said, what other Golf game are you gonna play? It's not bad, it just needs some polish. I think it gets away with some "arcadey" aspects, because there is literally no other Golf sim on the market right now.
This game is just horrible, stay away from this nightmare, unless you like shooting +32 , there is no way of telling we’re your shot is going because on the tee it will not show you where your ball is going to drop. Also it says your shot will be 130 yards but it only goes 100 even with a perfect shot. Putting is just as bad, no way of know how hard you will hit it because you judge off feel and you can’t be precise enough, even if you hit it straight you may fly by the hole by 50 feet even though it’s says it’s only going down 12 inches. All measurements are out to lunch, at least with Rory Macklroy golf it will give you a blue line showing we’re your shot is going and a blue circle to show you approximately the radius, this game gives nothing but a club distance, and don’t say it’s like real golf because I play WAY better in REAL golf.
I don't know if they updated it since then, but if you hit "Y" or "Triangle", it shows you the general area where the ball will land. Putting is definitely a "feel" kind of thing though. I personally haven't had much issue with it. You just gotta practice and get it down.
Jason Price it’s a great sim but it suffers from what every golf game after Tiger 07 to 10 era suffers from. It’s just a shit video game. Between crashes and broken animations and the ball placement it gets unplayable out of nowhere.
the tour clubs should be shorter, as they are in real life. they are more about working the ball, and control. whereas the novice clubs are all about extra distance
My biggest issue is the consistency between shots around the greens. You can hit a LW chip twice from the same lie, it will go 10 yds and check 1 time and 12 yds and roll another 6 yds the next even though you hit it the same
I agree. Getting distances right especially at close range is frustrating in TGC2. In TGC short game wasn't great, but at least you knew how the ball would react. In TGC2 the consistency is gone. For example, a 30 yard flop shot sometimes goes 33 yards in the air, and other times way less than 30 yards while having a perfect swing tempo. It is extremely difficult to know where your chips, pitches and flops end up. Sometimes adding loft to a flop shot reduces no distance, sometimes you lose +10 yards. Chip shots are borderline ridiculous. Sometimes a 10 yard chip with an LW stops almost dead on with a single bounce. The next time it rolls 10 yards past the cup. It is impossible to learn to be consistent at short game if the ball acts differently each time. If anybody can stop a 10 yard chip shot dead on on a real green, I'll call them Houdini. Another thing I really don't understand is when you hit a perfectly straight swing but your back or downswing is "slow", the ball goes all over the place, usually huge slice. If you have a straight clubface on impact and a straight club path, it doesn't matter how slow your swing is it's still going to go straight. It should only reduce your shot length, not the directory.
This is the most frustrating golf title that I've played. The chip shot is a joke with many shots just pulling up for no reason. The bunkers look horrible. PG is by far the better golf game.
"You can set up the names of the events and shit like that". I like your gameplay from the game. But a review like that, just makes me laugh. Do better!

TheDarthlawyer Grammar nazi
do they have pga players in this game?
can you play a tournament offline please answer :)
the swing lag i would say is a big problem. It kills great rounds you might be having, like a random 130 yard drive that goes dead right because of the lag.
I havent had that happen to me personally because if the swing lags I always stop the swing before it goes back fully

Nick H I agree
4/1/2020 Golf Club 2 is only $2.99 on PSN for the next couple weeks
Millenial420 add me shaggy's and scooby's
After playing for 10 minutes I deleted it and went back to Rory.
This game is horrible and a waste of $3.

@@BeegYoshi24 Go fuck yourself.....that game sucks and so do you.
Apex your the man. All of your videos are so informative and right on. Keep up the good work brotha.
Thanks dude :)
Lmao, the backspin you were getting out of those bunker shots onto the green were crackin me up.
I hat how when you're in the sand you can't hit a hybrid or when you hit 5 iron it goes like 50 yards on a perfect swing
My new course is coming soon .It will be a blast as far as look and fun. Before Christmass for sure.By the way ,try this game at its most difficult setting .And it will be so close to the real sport.
Robert Joly so u can build ur own course??
Any power bar ?
the golf club 2 vs The Golf Club 2019? is it worth paying 3 times for The Golf Club 2019?

that's stroke play though not match play right?
TheApexHound fair play ye but we have some sort of online action but I do think a lobby with different game modes would be interesting
Which is the better golf game, this or Rory Mcilroy golf?
rory mcilroy had bad reviews and is more expensive.
Try this tough course.Big Apple NY 2018 , Not only its a beautiful layout but the look around is un-matched so far on TheGolfClub2. + 3 from the blue tee is the record.

Awesome man, Might give it a go :)
Mentioning Shooter McGavin is enough to get a like
Hi everyone I'm quite a big golf fan what is best golf club 2 or Rory mc Roy pga tour
golf club 2, rory got bad reviews and is more expensive
I wanna buy a golf game when I can play the PGA tour with the right names and the masters, the open, PGA championship, USA open, ryder cup etc in a career mode does this even exist? It seems that licencing is killing the potential for all sports games these days and it sucks.
James Smith EA Rory McElroy pga golf... it's a PGA game. Night be what ur looking for. Tho I have to say, this game looks great.
derrick robertson no it doesnt have all four majors and has bad reviews it seems PGA Tiger Woods 14 was what I was after.
James Smith it’s a good game but god they skimmed the content.
I got tiger woods pga 14 there is no ryder cup but it is an excellent game all four majors and plenty more and its challenging! (As long as you play on a hard setting). Its a fantastic edition. My brother has the next version roys version and it sounds like they stuffed that one up.

Is it a multiplayer game? Can we play 4 at home ?
Can you play 1 thru 4 players on offline mode???

Yeah there's no other golf game to play unfortunately
Best golf sim for PS4, but Links Golf is STILL the best for PC, and the most realistic all-round.

HighNoon so what a good one to get ?? I’m on ps4

first one is just better to me, idk why.
Same. The online ruined this. There was no need for it.
everybody golf kills this
Reuben Ahmed the lack of courses ruins this.
Yeah someday maybe TW Masters will be updated to ps4 and we'll get a golf game with more courses. 6 to 9 courses in a game is a joke
I'm waiting for that one too, any Tiger Woods game coming back would be better than this shite
Can u do practice swings in this game I've been trying to figure out how
yes, L3 button
Sounds like the golf ball is hitting a carpet rather than grass
It sucks that u can’t play career mode unless ur online
can you play a tournament though offline
So, no offline career mode?
customizable swings please
The animation of the golfers is awful. Hard to get over for me.
Jason Price it’s a great sim but it suffers from what every golf game after Tiger 07 to 10 era suffers from. It’s just a shit video game. Between crashes and broken animations and the ball placement it gets unplayable out of nowhere.
the tour clubs should be shorter, as they are in real life. they are more about working the ball, and control. whereas the novice clubs are all about extra distance

"You can set up the names of the events and shit like that". I like your gameplay from the game. But a review like that, just makes me laugh. Do better!
