Extremely mediocre like all other 2K sports games -- I have no idea why I played this as much as I did despite its offensive amount of grinding it expects you to do, with the most repetitive unfun "career" mode that can barely be called a career. Everything about this game is magical the first time through until you realize the announcers say the same 5 things for each course. Yawnfest.
This is probably my first 2K sports game in years. The golfing here is pretty good. I like that you have the option to change between the old school, three button swing approach or the analog stick system. There's a ton of adjustable sim options to make the game more or less difficult. This game is full of the typical modern 2K monetization. It feels like every screen is flanked by advertisements for premium passes and contents. I played through most of the MyCareer mode but stopped after I had obtained a pretty big lead in first place as the mode was pretty featureless. I didn't feel like I ever understand the overly complicated skill and fitting system. I didn't feel much of a difference in my performance as I progressed through MyCareer so there wasn't any satisfaction of feeling my character get better. There really wasn't a whole lot to the game other than the golfing which is solid, but I'm not the kind of person who obsesses over nuances between TPC Sawgrass and Pebble Beach. There's a create a course option which is fun as I was able to hit a few rounds on a recreation of my local municipal course. For $15, I was adequately entertained.
