The Golf Club 2 - xBox One

[Denny Bang Bang]

I was talked into picking up an xBox One several months ago, and one of the games I picked up is TGC 2.  It’s a fun game, beyond the commentary being annoying.

Does anyone else here play the game?  Thought it might be fun to start a club/society (you can create your own club/society in the game, and play against other clubs)... especially over the winter season.

I've been meaning to buy it but haven't pulled the trigger. I liked the first one fine enough but realized pretty quickly that the main draw of a golf video game is being able to play the real life courses.

So having access to an X-Box One, how does the game compare to the EA Sports games? Is it worth my picking up?

Yea, I have Rory as well and it’s definitely fun to play the real courses.  The appeal to me with TGC2 was being able to create a course and a club/society.

My favorite real life course (which I also worked at during college) closed a couple years ago.  As I don’t have an extra $3M laying around to buy the property, plus bring it back up to par, I figured I’d recreate the course in the game haha.

EA definitely is a much larger gaming company, with a larger budget, more experience in sports gaming, and tied to the tour.  That said, TGC2 has some cool features that Rory doesn’t.  But that goes both ways.

Rory is an easier game, more arcade style (I’ve shot a 49 over 18 holes... my best on TGC2 is 3 under so far).  They are both fun games IMO, and only $30 (cheaper used)
