Golf PGA Tour 2K21 review

Quality

PGA Tour 2K21 has some beefed up visuals compared to HB Studio’s previous efforts. The courses look much better than they ever have, with more detail and realism. However, the biggest jump in quality comes with the golfers themselves. Action replays have a higher degree of polish so that they look like television graphics, and in-game commentators Luke Elvy and Rich Beem also make a big difference in making PGA Tour 2K21 feel like an official product.

Customise player and dress

You can select up to five outfits that act as pre-sets, and throughout your career, new apparel and clubs are unlocked. It provides more control over your created character than The Golf Club, and a better sense of achievement: your MyPlayer can be used throughout all of the different modes, whether you’re taking part in career, local multiplayer with friends, or a leisurely 18 holes on your lonesome. You pick everything from your name, gender, weight, and height, as well as what you wear and what club sets you have.

Multiplayer

PGA Tour 2K21 also has a set of robust multiplayer offerings. All the standard options, such as Match Play, Stroke Play, and Skins are all available in local and online multiplayer, and jumping into an online game is an easy process. There are also Societies, which act as a sort of custom league and once set up, they allow players to compete against each other in special seasonal tournaments or start smaller competitions with the creator’s custom rules.

Levels and help tools

There are six difficulty levels that range from beginner to legendary, and they can be customised to give you as much or as little help as you want. PGA Tour 2K21 offers assists in the form of Partial Swing, Dynamic Shot-Shaping, and Yardage Book.

 You can adjust how much support you have when it comes to shaping your shot and how much spin you need to put on the ball. The Yardage Book is perhaps the best tool at your disposal when it comes to understanding each course.

Golf PGA Tour 2K21 Career mode

As mentioned at the top, the marketing of “2K21“ has focused on its licensing agreements – with the PGA Tour, with tournament sponsors, with a list of pros, with 15 real-world courses, and with equipment and apparel manufacturers. It’s worth running through it. Here’s the real-world stuff in the game:

You encounter these elements by working your way through career mode. You play events, you earn in-game currency, you spend that currency on clubs and apparel to spruce up your create-a-golfer. If that sounds a little too familiar, that’s because it is; it is very much a return to the career mode players received from EA Sports.

Golf PGA Tour 2K21 Courses

The development tools on offer are the same ones used to create the game, making the course designer as intricate or as simple as you like. Not only can you create your perfect hole in course designer, but you can download thousands of courses to play alone or with friends. There are different locations such as tropical, countryside, desert, or the Swiss Alps, and from there you have free rein on which obstacles feature.

Golf PGA Tour 2K21 Customer review

I particularly enjoyed the experience of mastering windy conditions in PGA Tour 2K21. The first time I encountered winds pushing 15 miles per hour I struggled to four over par for the tournament (it was the Waste Management Phoenix Open and I appropriately served up my share of trash). This was because, despite the fact I had wind direction and speed indicators to assist me, I still needed to get a feel for clubbing up into a headwind or effectively using draws and fades to negate or ride more lateral gales, which eventually came through practice. Playing PGA Tour 2K21 on its medium difficulty ultimately felt like a really well balanced experience to me, someone who’s played almost every golf game released in the last 20 years, but it’s worth noting that all of the guides and timing windows can be adjusted or disabled according to your personal preference or aptitude level.
