WAY to sensitive

[Magzire]

need to hit 1% on most putts and chips, crazy

[Kobrelo]

Have you ever played golf before? It's not easy. I'm not sure what you are saying is 1% but once you learn the game you can shoot very low on high difficulty. It's not impossible.

what settings you play, put them lower.
or maybe your mousesettiings are way to much? or controller.
without more info, we dont know, game plays great for me.

op do not listen to die hard defenders of this game, the devs have ruined the swing system, yes its now so sensitive that it has removed the little feel there was from 21. Even the youtube shills have been telling them its too sensitive, they never listen.

I can do the exact same thing ten times and have ten different shots in terms of fast, too fast, slow etc. Game is trash.

Go to Training > Swing Calibration

After having done the calibration myself, this seems like a VERY IMPORTANT STEP that really should be part of your first play-through in the tutorial.

I'm not particularly plump, but I don't claim to know how to play pro sports.

But I do think this: at first, putting seemed very hard to me.

But I paid attention to the swing meter and the on-screen distance and height measurements (not to mention the green slope indications). and with practice used them to figure out some regularities. After doing that, now I find putting to be pretty predictable and controllable.

I'm now rated above 600 online. There are some who are much better, of course. Yet the point is this: I started WAY below that rating initially. But the game does seem to be learnable. Rather like a, you know, sport.

I use the three-click swing. Frankly, I don't know why anybody would not. It doesn't make the game easy, but it does seem to make it learnable, as I previously noted.

Frustration doesn't help. Careful observation and practice seem to help.

I think this is the best video golf game in history. And that's saying something, since there have been a couple of good ones over the years.

I 3 click & with lots of practice I was able to reach Albatros in Ranked DUO & Condor in Ranked SOLO. What CHESSFOREEVER said is spot on.

you clearly dont know a good product is if youre defending 2k. Youre probbaly over 30, and dont know better.

Depends what's the issue with sensitive is. Either the greens are too slippery or the power gauge is too sensitive
Slippery greens have been an issue since the game launched. You should learn quickly that the distance given by default is always too much, and to look at the green slopes and compensate for it especially if the slope is downhill. Add backspin to help
I personally have no issue with the gauge speed myself. Look for the sensitivity setting in the options, likely set too high causing every motion to move the power gauge too quick from the start

[Chess_Forever]

Ah, I'm "probably over 30" and therefore (I guess) "don't know better."

Yes, if only I had less experience, then I'd be more knowing. :)

Nevertheless, I'm not having much trouble with the putting in this game. I did at first. But patience paid off.

[Tom Foolery]

with enough play you will realize the putting is by far the easiest...with chipping next...then pitching...to full shots to driver...kinda like real golf...IMAO

Purchased the game because of the three click option for pc. Loved it to begin with and after several hours of play decided to change settings to professional and have shot several rounds well under par in this mode. My main gripe is when I choose to play my career mode and am at the mercy of the course default settings. On several courses half of the greens seem to be almost inaccessible with the ball constantly rolling off the surface unless played to absolute perfection. On a particular hole in the Canadian open course, having rolled off the front of the green having pitched to within 2ft of the pin, I tried several attempts to get the ball to stay on the green including firstly, pitching to dead weight, secondly pitching past the pin by a yard, and lastly pitching further past the pin only to see my ball gather speed up the green leaving a treacherous downhiller that I missed and of course ended off the green again. On too many occasions these conditions are resulting in me running up the maximum allowable scores on holes and totally ruining my enjoyment of the game. I suppose I could stick to the casual play option but the competition element is supposed to be part of the game. Not happy.

That is why I don't play career mode or solo on many of the official courses. One of favorite courses in all of the Links Golf versions I played was Riviera, which is unplayable in places at career settings. If I play it in 2K23, I need to set greens at soft and slow. Some user designed courses have the same problem with hole locations too close to, or even on, steep slopes. Hopefully the devs will read these comments, and they have been made in multiple posts in multiple places, and learn from them for the next version of 2K.
