    PGA Tour 2K23 is everything a golf fan could expect from a golf game, but it's also much more than that. It is a game for all audiences. Demanding and versatile. Exciting and relaxed. An essential if you like sports video games.

    While it’s very true I have a soft spot in my heart for PGA Tour accordingly, there’s no denying 2K23 is solid. Small improvements to an existing formula mightn’t be looked highly upon in a yearly cycle, but PGA Tour 2K23 gets away with it because of its cadence. Welcome back, old friend. 3 click for life.

    With retooled swing mechanics, including an inventive three-click system, PGA Tour 2K23's on-the-course golfing is the best yet, not just in the series, but in the history of the simulation golf genre. Mostly smart improvements to MyCareer mode make you feel more in control of your created golfer's trajectory–even if the new consumables have the slight potential to become pay-to-win. Finally being able to play as real pros again is a joy, but the minimal real-life course additions put a slight damper on the fun. Nevertheless, it's not lacking in content in the slightest thanks to the engaging Online Societies mode and the endless possibilities provided by user-created courses, many of which could be mistaken for layouts designed by well-known course architects. PGA Tour 2K23 continues the series tradition of being welcoming to new players while offering an authentic, challenging golfing experience for those who desire it.

    PGA Tour 2K23 convincingly delivers thanks to a revamped swing mechanic and improvements to the MyCareer mode, even if the impact of microtransactions is still heavy. It's nice to be able to use the real pros again, but the dearth of new courses is a bit disappointing. Still, it remains a recommended title for lovers of golf titles, both amateur and experienced ones.

    Golf is back and fans of the sport will be thrilled with this new entry in the PGA Tour family. However other general sports fans will feel left out due to the elitist vibe this game produces.

    Fans of the sport will enjoy PGA Tour 2K23, even if it's a little rough around the edges.

    PGA Tour 2K23 is a decent effort, but one that EA Sports PGA Tour should easily blow out of the water in a few month’s time.

    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.

    Thoughts-
    For a game about playing golf, PGA Tour 2K23 does most things right. Its mechanics are most of the way there, with only a few tweaks and increased consistency needed to make it feel exactly right. There’s so much variety in the types of shots you can make and the different lies you’ll have to hit from that it really does mirror a real-life golf round in a lot of ways. Around the edges, though, things start to fall apart, with the lackluster television aesthetic and generally small list of players and courses. For anyone looking to simply play golf, PGA Tour 2K23 will do the trick if you can overlook a few nitpicks in the gameplay, though it will need to be much more fleshed out in the future to be considered among the best sports games on the market.    … Expand

    PGA TOUR 2K23 doesn’t improve all that much compared to 2K21. Sure, actually playing as the pros is a nice treat and all, but you're stillPGA TOUR 2K23 doesn’t improve all that much compared to 2K21. Sure, actually playing as the pros is a nice treat and all, but you're still kinda playing as yourself. Every single club appearance feels exactly the same (I liked how PGA TOUR 2K21's club appearance felt kinda different), and the "Fittings" don't do a good job at changing that. ALSO, PRESSING THE SELECT BUTTON TO OPEN UP A HELP MENU JUST P**SES ME OFF! Overall, PGA TOUR 2K23 is just not very good.… Expand
