PGA 2K23

Zero-Cool · 27-07-2023 12:39pm #1

PGA 2K21 was a great laugh with the Online Boards Society and now that 2k23 is being add to PS Plus for August, might be time to spin up a new club so starting a thread for the game. Has anyone, who already has 2K23, created a Boards Society?

I believe it doesn't have crossplay so there would be one for Playstation, 1 for Xbox depending on the interest. The Playstation one a couple of years back was a great success with a new round every few days to keep things interesting and it was quick to get a round done and post a score for people to dip in and out.

I'd be happy to compete in a 2K23 Boards Society. I'll probably finish at the bottom of the stands, but so what 😆

quokula · 27-07-2023 1:43pm

I'm not sure that review you've linked is going to do much to attract people to the game 🤣

I'll give it a dabble since it's on PSPlus and I haven't played a golf game in years.

Lovely

I didn't even watch it :D I'll give career go a mode but PGA 21 didn't have many modes but the online society was all I played and seeing other scores from fellow boardsies, got about 10 people putting up a score each round so was great to get a WIDE range of results. Even if you put up a bad score, was still great and always looked forward to the next round.

Damien360 · 27-07-2023 2:19pm

I was in the last one and enjoyed it. I presume you will post a join code here. Honestly don’t remember how it was done.

I can't remember either, i think i just needed psn names and i was able to send an invite through the game but 2K might do it a bit different. Will see when it goes free and if there isn't a society setup, I'll give it a go and post here.

marcbrophy · 27-07-2023 3:16pm

Count me in boss!

Wonder if it's cross platform societies this time? 🤔

~~EDIT: Yes, there is!!~~

EDIT2: Sorry, that wasn't societies, that is still platform only!

Dr Turk Turkelton · 27-07-2023 3:31pm

Haven't played it since the boards group broke up but count me in.

L'prof · 27-07-2023 10:47pm

Enjoyed this last time round. Will give it a go again 👌

eggy81 · 28-07-2023 5:18pm

Is this ps only.

It's on xbox as well but I'll be setting up a society on PS. Pity it's not cross play but you never know, of rebirth xbox interest in here, someone can set up a similar society.

eggy81 · 28-07-2023 6:11pm

Just gave it a go there. First time to play since 2019. Downswing timing seems very difficult

Zero-Cool · 01-08-2023 11:58am

Boards society created. From main menu, go to competitive, societies, join society, L3 to search, boards.ie society. Once you request to join, I can approve members.

My name has a PlayStation symbol beside it so interesting to see if xbox players can find the society on their console and join?

Once we get a few members added, I'll throw up an event.

Accepted, i think you might have to confirm the acceptance? Can you let me know? If so, that's a bollix system.

Romero · 01-08-2023 12:20pm

Just stuck a request in there to join

Ah cool, when i check members it's just me and you're still listed in pending requests but clicking you, it only gives an option to view profile. Might just be a delay on **** 2k servers.

I did the tutorial for both 3 point click shot and analogue stick shot. Analogue is so much better.

Question for ye, i see my player has ratings until increased in career mode. Does that carry over to societies? I'd hope we'd all be on level playing ground without having to go through career mode.

Also, the event rules will take some adjusting as we figure out what should and shouldn't be enabled.

Romero · 01-08-2023 1:50pm

I'm in I've played through a season on easy setting afew months back and have a HCP of 7.7 But not played any societies as far as I know it shouldn't make a difference as you will set the rules, like if someone shoots -20 on a round compared to other members then there is something up

But if you want to throw up a test event in the next few days we can see what way it plays out

Jordan 199 · 01-08-2023 1:52pm

Game downloaded. I'm looking forward to seeing how I compare with you all.

marcbrophy · 01-08-2023 4:53pm

Think I'll use 3 click shots this time!

The analogue stick nearly broke my melt in the last game and I think it was the only option in that one! 😆

Jordan 199 · 01-08-2023 5:28pm

I finished a respectable +13 at Boston in normal conditions. Not bad at all.

Zero-Cool · 01-08-2023 5:29pm

That's why i went straight for 3 click thinking it would be like everybody's golf but it's very awkward. Tried analogue after that and had much better results.

bennyx_o · 01-08-2023 6:59pm

+9 at Boston in Normal. Changed to 3 click during it and finding it slightly better than the stick. Last golf game I played on the Playstation was the Rory McIlroy one and this is a lot harder!

marcbrophy · 01-08-2023 7:36pm

Got +2 at Boston on normal with the 3 click system, but when it counts, I will usually choke :D

ZC, when you get the chance, I sent a join request :)

bennyx_o · 01-08-2023 7:44pm

Did it again and got -3, more jynx than getting the hang of it I'd say. Will look for the society and send a request now

Zero-Cool · 01-08-2023 8:21pm

I'll be on in a little while and accept any invites, will make a few of ye admins to accept invites that come in.

Romero · 01-08-2023 9:11pm

If you need a hand I'm on most nights.

Looks like the 2K23 servers are getting hit hard this evening with the big influx of new PlayStation players as getting disconnects and time outs.

JimBurnley · 01-08-2023 9:24pm

2 rounds of Boston done, first one +5, second one -2, slowly getting the hang of this....I think

Zero-Cool · 01-08-2023 10:08pm

I can't actually get into the game. After pressing x at the first title screen, i get a black screen with the wifi symbol and a circle that keeps going round and round. I understand if i was trying to hey into a multiplayer game but i can't even get to the main menu, 2K suck so much balls. I'll add ye in the morning and set up a test event.

JimBurnley · 01-08-2023 10:11pm

The menus were v slow for me, assume as said above overload from the new Plus players, hopefully settles in next day or two. But yeah, 2K suck....

Romero · 01-08-2023 10:11pm

Yeah getting a lot of time outs and some server error messages tonight probably with the Americans online servers can't cope

I always hated how even in 2k21 the menus could be seen to be pulling info from the net to load!

Guess that's the side effect from having ads all over the menus 😊

No bother at all man, appreciate your effort as always 🙂

duploelabs · 02-08-2023 6:21am

I like the menus, every new page you get to is a pop up with an advert for dlc content, absolutely love it /s

duploelabs · 02-08-2023 7:34am

-15 on my first round of Boston, nice GUI upgrade

😲😲😲

Zero-Cool · 02-08-2023 7:50am

Added any invites there. Duplo, you're still listed as pending request, can't make you admin yet. Romero and Jim are only ones so far listed as members, made them admins so they can accept invites as well.

Anyway, without further apu, the inaugural event of the Boards.ie Society is now live. Killarney Docks (rated 4 star with thousands of downloads). I have no idea about the course but let's jump in!

Event is live for 3 days, closes Saturday, 5th of August. Good luck all!

Turns out you have to confirm once you've been approved, what a bag of balls

Romero · 02-08-2023 12:22pm

Well decided to do the first round and give you boys an easy to beat target a round of 81 +9 😭😭😭

eggy81 · 02-08-2023 12:43pm

Looks like this game is cross play. Away down the country working but I’ll try join the society on Friday when I’m back.

Sinbad311 · 02-08-2023 3:10pm

Requested to join

Romero · 02-08-2023 3:20pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120930983#Comment_120930983

Accepted your request there I think you have to go in and confirm on your side and you'll be in

Sinbad311 · 02-08-2023 3:25pm

Thanks man

Jordan 199 · 02-08-2023 6:37pm

I'm thrilled with my play at Killarney. Finished the fourth hole at +11.

Damien360 · 02-08-2023 6:54pm

Ah crap. I'm away for work so can't join for a few days. I'll send an invite when I get online in a few days. Muchtooold3 is username.

marcbrophy · 02-08-2023 8:04pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120931836#Comment_120931836

I was heading down that path too, +3 after 2. But I managed to keep it to +3 on the way out.

Then on the way back I got -1 to finish with an okay +2.

With the glass like greens, you could nearly hit a stroke limit on each hole on that course 😅

Jordan 199 · 02-08-2023 8:14pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120931836#Comment_120931836

I finished at +28 or more.

Anyway, I left the Boards society because of my poor result tonight and a few years a go with 2K21.

Romero · 02-08-2023 10:31pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120932273#Comment_120932273

You should stay in I had a terrible round as well, it's only a bit of fun, we can get better plus we me and you can have a competition on who wins the wooden spoon at each event 😀

Zero-Cool · 03-08-2023 1:58pm

Finally got to give this a go, my first spent at this game outside the tutorial was the first boards event, maybe not the best idea, finished with a rough +10. Some downright bad shots mixed with some tricky greens. Next even will have a real course and not a made one. The made ones can be fun but some tough spots also. Some good scores in there, -2 is gonna be tough to beat.
