The Golf Club 2 Career Mode and Dynamic Societies Trailer

This game sounds and looks pretty darn good! With no EA Sports golf in sight, it's probably time for me to go all in with TGC 2. And if so, I might as well preorder and get the day one edition. I think I have about $25 Xbox Currency already anyway!

Do we try to resurrect Bushwood Tour again?

I'm definitely picking up the PC version and it will be consistently part of my stream. Hopefully there is a society created here on OS to join. 

I want to try this game so bad, but I've never played a golf game before.  What should I do? Somebody help me out.

Go for it KennyJ1976.... Be the ball...nanananana!

Just to clarify, there's no sort of offline career mode, correct? Where it's just you against even just a bunch of random AI players over a calendar length type of season?

I could be mistaken, but I'm pretty positive they've added an offline career mode for TGC2.

This does have a career mode as far as I know.

This is from a review back in February:

Nice! Thanks. I'll have to keep my eye on that for more details then. That's one of the things that TGC lacked for me. Not an online gamer here, so for me TGC was just the ability to make courses, play random courses against... nobody. lol
Love to have the ability to play a career mode offline similar to how EA's games did it. I get I wont have licensed golfers/names to play against, and that's fine, but to have some simulated competition in a season offline would be great for someone like me.
Thanks!

Never got into The Golf Club, I was a PGA tour player tho, loved those games but it dropped so alot with there latest Rory Mcilroy addition, this will defiantly be the new golf go to tho, can not wait

Okay.. so we deff need to get a legit OS society going. Since it's gonna be ranked and host tournaments, we need to make sure people who join are active and going to play. It could be awesome for sure.

Do we know if these clubhouses are solely for looks, or is there any use for them?
I suspect it's just for looks?

Hopefully it'll be better than the original, where on easy mode you 7-putt on a green, no spin, and make one just purchase Jack Nicklaus Perfect Golf instead because the game was so goddamn hard even on easy.

Yeah, this is why I am afraid to buy it. I completely agree. It looks good though.
Are you guys playing on PS4 for those who are buying?

Sorry, but JNPG on the easiest difficulty was easier than TGC1.
Can't compare TGC2 difficulty in detail due to NDA, but it is FAR better than TGC1 in gameplay.

I have decided I think to go for PS4 as I think the societies will be a HUGE part of the gameplay. I would imagine more guys here would be PS4 than PC.
Edit:: actually think I'm gonna go PC. They said PC would have a free move camera while consoles won't. I like going around courses checking out ideas of how to do things on course designer etc.

They are really pushing this society stuff. When the metrics come in they are going to be disappointed.

You're probably right but speaking only for myself and how much fun I've had playing Injustice 2 in our OS guild it's actually the main reason I am considering buying the game.

Do you recall at what point this was said in the stream? I only saw segments of the stream on archive when I got home from work yesterday, but I would like to hear in context where they said this.
BTW, from what I've heard Shaun West respond to the question about what the target frame rates were in the console versions of TGC 2, with "we should see 30 FPS on the consoles"; if you have a PC that's halfway worth its salt, you're going to see considerably better frame rates than that. I was in the beta and my PC: Intel Core i5-4440 3.1 GHz, Geforce GTX 1060 3 GB SC Gaming, ACX 2.0, 8GB PC-1600 DDR3 RAM, Windows 10 64 bit system ran TGC 2 at double that speed with 2X MSAA and 8X AF, at nearly maxed out detail quality settings in game.
I hope Shaun was being overly conservative with that comment about 30 FPS on the consoles because this new swing interface really deserves to be >40 FPS to be fully appreciated.

Speaking of frame rates, is this going to be optimized for PS4 Pro and Scorpio?

No. The stream from yesterday, there was a question asking if they were going to patch support for those systems and the answer was basically no from my understanding.

ok, well that would have put me off the fence and preordering but I'm still interested...

Not sure I get this. Societies sound like an awesome multiplayer feature and something that was needed.
The ability to have an in-society leaderboard and run seasons with regular events and majors? I think that's exactly what golf club needed.
Not sure who all watched the streams yesterday but socities looked absolutely phenomenal.

I completely agree, this is a huge selling point. I'm not sure why no one has done it before.

They were asked this at the very end of the stream, and they didn't know the answer at this time. They did say that 'Rami would know' but he was not part of the broadcast. The fact that the producer (Shaun West) didn't know tells me that there's nothing being done special at the outset that the Pro or the Scorpio would benefit from. I don't see why they couldn't at least run at a higher frame rate with Vsync disabled though.

The gameplay looked really good. I skipped most of the Societies stuff but if it makes running tours easier then I'm very excited. I was mildly concerned about a couple of aesthetic issues from the videos.
I thought the audio was worse than TGC1 but I'm hoping it was just the stream. Iron shots sounded like a cheap plastic club hitting a teed up golf ball. I couldn't hear the whoosh of the shaft nor the sole interacting with the turf. I would love to see a divot go flying off but that's fine. It just sounded off.
And a minor visual thing but those balls are teed up pretty high for iron shots.
Other than that I am sold.

Will the PC version be available on disk also or just download?

Are you able to play multiplayer in offline career mode or even a season with multiplayer, being able to sit on the couch with a few buddies and play either offline career or season mode?

I pre-ordered the Golf Club 2 and Everybody's Golf from the PSN store this weekend.
I will play it enough and enjoyed the courses people made etc. that I will get a ton of use out of it.
Looking forward to the release less than 2 weeks away.

I saw that Amazon.com has the PC DVD version listed. If you're an Amazon Prime member, you can get it for $31.99 as a pre-order.
