    PGA Tour 2K23 is the perfect game for those of us who enjoy this sport. Complex, deep, with a multitude of options, varied modes, online modes and a course editor in case you want to spend your life playing this game alone.

    With a new swing mechanic and some general improvements, PGA Tour 2K23 manages to deliver a great golf experience, despite some minor graphical issues and a not-so-clear UI.

    While PGA Tour 2K23 offers one of the best golf video game experiences yet, there is still so much more it can do in elevating the golf experience to showcase the thrills that come with being a pro.

    PGA Tour 2K23 takes an already excellent golfing simulator and builds upon it, making it better and more fleshed out by adding things that were sorely needed. We’re still waiting for properly glamourous careers and tournaments but the gameplay itself will spellbind every golf fan.

    PGA TOUR 2K23 could not beat the 2021 version, even being developed for the new generation of consoles. Its gameplay remains firm but it does not take advantage of anything from PS5 such as graphics, DualSense or the powerful SSD. Michael Jordan and Steph Curry come in handy for the game, but that doesn't cover up the things the developers should have focused on.

    Awesome game. Only flaws are the graphics should be better and also the fact that the consumable balls can change the green speed. At least beAwesome game. Only flaws are the graphics should be better and also the fact that the consumable balls can change the green speed. At least be able to lock balls out of the competitive societies. It also sucks that there is no leaderboard or a ranking system for online play. I would be happy with a leaderboard that resets every season. Or something along those lines... it would be a 10 if it wasn't for those two major gripes. Expand

    Solid game. Plenty of objectives to keep you interested and playing, from boosting your stats by choosing club fittings to play how you want -Solid game. Plenty of objectives to keep you interested and playing, from boosting your stats by choosing club fittings to play how you want - conservatively with an easier more forgiving swing , or go for distance with a less forging swing. There's a skill tree to upgrade what you want , and player architype to choose between being a short club game or driver game, up to you. Then there's the apparel to unlock and online play. Plenty to keep you interested. Solid golf game. Expand

    PGA Tour 2K23 is a great improvement to the previous game and a big return to one of the best golfers in the game that is Tiger Woods.

The gameplay is very good; almost too good as it has you just a frustrated at time as in real life!

    Sadly they dropped the ball in many other areas: graphics and performance. Screen tearing and dropped frames on a PS5 for graphics that look decidedly last gen is pretty bad. Player models do not even resemble their real life counterparts. Visual customization of your player is a regression from last year‘s game.

    The graphics looks nearly identical to the last game, and the greedy developers had the audacity to increase the price to $70. 2K Games hasThe graphics looks nearly identical to the last game, and the greedy developers had the audacity to increase the price to $70. 2K Games has way more money than Maximum Games. There is no excuse for the same graphics. Although I will say it was kinda worth it just to get Tiger Woods in this game. The addition of TopGolf is a stroke of genius, and you can even play the mode online. The gameplay is biblical as always with great physics. Tons of customizations options to choose from.

    Online multiplayer is good. The reward system is well thought out. There are a variation of options and modes to choose from. Course designer has so much depth. $70 is a bit too much. I recommend you get it until it is like $30-$40.

    VERY sad to charge money for a stripped down copy of 2k21 with just 1 feature added.

    One of the worst games in the history of video games, ever. Absolutely terrible and lifeless.
