+ Graphics are a noticeable step up from TGC2. The lighting (even without HDR) is fantastic.
+ No frame rate hiccups on my system that I have noticed
+ They made sand trap borders look more natural
+ Swing mechanics are a nice evolution from TGC2, love the improved feedback
+ Putting in this game is just so well implemented... Haven't had any "rage quit worthy" experiences yet
+ Really enjoying the PGA Tour single player mode, even with the lack of real players
+ I like the way scores are reported during Society tournaments, although this might be something they implemented in TGC2
+ Camera angles are nice
+ Love the fast forward feature
+ All the TPC courses look and play great
- No real PGA Tour Pro names
- Hurricane effects on the trees when the wind is blowing
I'll be down for some on-line play, but I don't have a mic.
Leadfoot, I played round 3 last night with your turn enabled ghost. You've got a good handle on the putting... that was quite a show. Heck of a chip in you had on 11, I believe it was? I'm glad you weren't playing me live last night... you would have laughed your ass off at the "10" I posted on the par 3 16th.
I left my tee shot just under the rock wall in the front of the green. I tried a lofted chip over it and it hit the wall and bounced back into the lake. Had to drop on the other side of the lake and left it just behind the wall again. I thought I'd try a flop this time, and it went back into the lake. I was humiliated by the time I finished that hole, but it was all my doing... I had a three shot lead going into that hole and came away 4 shots back.
Your list echos mine, although I will say that I don't like the "spoiler" quality of the leaderboard. IOW, I was playing your ghost "live" (in a virtual sense) yet the between hole leaderboard was showing me your progress 4 holes in advance of what we were actually playing. I posted this as a bug report in the Bug reporting section of the official forum, and finally, after over a year of beating the drum about how this was happening in TGC 2 society events AND TGC 2019 during the stress test beta, HBS finally acknowledged that is was a problem and they were looking into it! That will be awesome to have that fixed!
