Play with friends online

[Kusvak]

In the youtube video, I saw 2 of them playing on the same PC taking turns etc. Will we be able to play with friends online the same way?

As far as I am aware (and very upset about it xD) No you can not.
You can turn on 'turn based' turn system. But it's not the same. Which sucks :(

I just want to be able to see my friends hit and they see mine and so forth (live, not ghosted)

I'm pretty sure it will only be ghosts.

I'm happy to say, that you will be able to play against your friends in a turn-by-turn fashion. Read this article: http://www.sportsgamersonline.com/hb-studios-speaks-sgo-golf-club-2/

What major changes to Multiplayer is there? Will live online gameplay be available with friends as opposed to just ghost ball?

Jordan Ault: We have changed the flow of setting up a round to help streamline the process and simplify setting up a match with friends. On the setup screen, you will have the option to add up to 3 other players to your round. These include the ability to add your local guest, ghosts and rivals.
As in The Golf Club, rivals are friends who are playing the selected course, live. In addition to this for The Golf Club 2 we now show all live users, not just friends. Adding the ability to play with any live player was a big step for us and helps add to the depth and enjoyment players will be able to get from general gameplay and Society events. With the enhancement of live rivals and the addition of Societies, we are opening up a social and interactive aspect for the TGC community that was not there before.
Just like in TGC, you can join friends who are already on in a round, or send them a notification while you’re mid-round to have them join you on the same course. This is made easier by the ever-present Profile Menu, which contains access to your friends list. Each player is in control over their own multiplayer experience. They can enable or disable Turn Order individually, have different people, guests, or ghosts in their group, or even come and leave the course as they please—If you need to leave, your friend can continue and finish their round now and you can return to finish your round against their ghost at a later time.

False information , On the 1 You can play online With Friend , And activate Some option , But the system was not perfect , because if you want play with a strangers , you need have the Luck To see someone on the Same Course at this moment , and with 30.000 Course , the chance was Tiny .

If i have good understand the stream TGC2 , you can now Visit opponent Society , And you see if people are in, so you can invite them for a challenge .... Ofcourse my english are not perfect and i have maybe misunderstood .....

But for sure if you have Friend , You can Play Online with them , And see every Stroke of them , like the 1 when you activate the option

After watching the rival video, I think the thing I'm still wondering is if you add a rival and both have turn order selected does it go back and forth correctly kinda like the older PGA tour games when playing with friends.
