If the idea of starting off at the Korn Ferry Tour and languishing in mid-table spots while you get used to the controls and slowly improve is something that sounds rewarding to you, then you can absolutely do that and you’ll have a good time. You may be placing your aim cursor smack dab in the middle of the fairway, but if it’s blowing a gale and you’re in the rough, you may have to move the cursor away from your intended target to compensate.įor some hardened gamers, this is a challenge they’ll be happy to take on. The wind, the angle of your lie and your elevation all come into play, and you’ll have to consider how all of them will ultimately affect your shot. If you’re playing on the Pro difficulty, which is the only control system supported in online play, you have to take even more things into account. It can be tricky to get this timing nailed down, and you may have a frustrating first few hours lining up perfectly good shots, only for them to end up in the rough or a bunker because you were concentrating so much on moving the stick straight up that you did it too slowly. Too quickly and it’ll hook to the left, too slowly and it’ll slice to the right. The quality of your shot obviously depends on how straight you pushed the stick, but the game also takes into account how quickly you moved the stick. After lining up your shot with the left stick, you pull the right stick back to start your backswing, then push it forward for the downswing. Rather than the old-school ‘three button press’ method you may be used to in older golf games, PGA Tour 2K21 is all about the right stick, and nothing else. The control system is explained in a brief tutorial (which can be replayed whenever you like) and can take a little getting used to. And we do mean boys: although you can create a woman golfer there’s no LPGA licence here, meaning you'll have to compete against the men (something that would no doubt cause heart attacks for some old duffers in private clubs to this day). You can choose to be dropped straight into a PGA Tour season if that’s what you came for, but if you prefer the feeling of earning it you can start off at the Korn Ferry Tour – the developmental tour for pros who haven’t reached PGA Tour level yet – and try to win your place among the big boys that way. The main meat of PGA Tour 2K21 is its career mode, where you create your own golfer and compete against the best of the rest in an attempt to win the FedEx Cup. As far as this game is concerned, golf only happens in America and your craving for Scottish or Irish courses will have to be fed by downloading fan-made replicas created with the included course designer.Ĭaptured on Nintendo Switch (Handheld/Undocked) We hope you've got a thing for American courses, though, because all 15 of them are based in the US if you're a fan of the St Andrews Old Course, Royal County Down or Muirfield, you're out of luck. From the likes of TPC Sawgrass and TPC Twin Cities to the Copperhead Course and the Atlantic Beach Country Club, each course has been accurately recreated with state-of-the-art scanning technology, and it shows. This realism is best realised in the 15 official courses available to you. It’s certainly the most realistic looking golf game on the Switch, although when your competition includes Golf Story and What the Golf?, we suppose ‘most realistic’ is a prize it gets purely for existing. PGA Tour 2K21 marks the first time the series has been released on the Switch, however, and given that HB has had to technically downgrade its game to be playable on Nintendo’s system, the results aren’t too shabby.
