Thank Christ that there is a video like this. Not only does it offer at least some helpful advice regarding the bunker shot, but the content creator doesn't ramble on for 25 minutes explaining his "technique" (which is what most content creators do). This video is straight and to the point. Well done. Keep all your tutorial and "advice" videos in this same format. Well done. Wishing you continued success with your channel.

[@MidKnightYT]

I watch a lot of KZbin, so I know your time is as valuable as mine.

[@gordonisdone6071]

Playing the new EA Sports PGA Tour, tips still worked well. Didn't know 80% sand meant 80% of the shot, now I know why it wasn't hitting normal lol. Thanks!

[@billgladwinuseacoupleofher1245]

Tips are a very big help! Just reached the 50 level mark. Keep up your great work!

[@jeffb-someoldguyygaming8896]

Thank you MK! This was awsome. I never thought about pushing that deep before. We didn't need it in 21. I can't wait to give this a shot.

[@user-wj1nn1oq2y]

great tip bro, first time subbing a really small youtuber 👌🏼

[@MidKnightYT]

Thank you. Hopefully one day we will make it big

[@Wizardstix23]

Not sure if you have yet, but a video on The new balls and default ball and what everyone should be choosing would be a great?

[@MidKnightYT]

The production is still a work in progress. Thank you for the support, and I will continue to improve!

[@ripvanwinkle4951]

I just recently subscribed bro, keep up the great work man! Seriously good content and channel, thanks for your hard work. Enjoying it. From UK.

[@MidKnightYT]

@@ripvanwinkle4951 thank your for the kind words and support!

[@ripvanwinkle4951]

Btw @Ma_Kachada , forgot to mention a suggestion for a video on putting from the green fringe rather than the default chip option it gives you. When you select putter in those situations (more realistic) it 'seems' to default the putter power too high, if that makes sense. I've been trying it in career mode today and found I needed to pull the marker back quite a way, but still some guess work involved. Looking forward to more vids.

[@kevinbarritt9656]

Great video as always, I manage to get out of bunkers but it's normally with a very fast it's real hard to be anywhere near the perfect. Thanks for the video keep up the great work.

[@mcfch9625]

Completely agree with you. I tried this about 40 or 50 times last night. Very mixed results. Holed one out and others didn't get past the rough. It's all about the tempo and it is difficult to get it right.

[@deaudiere]

Thank you, definitely going to put a lot of time into practice mode. I subscribed for more helpful videos in the future :)

[@MidKnightYT]

Thanks for the sub! Happy to help

[@jrago73]

Good video. How about one that covers the effect of the timing, transition and swing path stat effects on your swing? I'm not sure which fittings I really want to install on my clubs to make the swing more consistent.

[@Wizardstix23]

☀️☕️⛳️ thanks for your content and efforts and time. Much appreciated

[@jaypippen7213]

I appreciate you I'm learning a lot 🤞🤙💯 from your channel

[@madf3rn]

I use flop shot like we used the splash shot from 2k21. A fast flop a little under or over the hole is still a lot closer than a splash. I just don't trust the splash shot or feel comfortable gambling with splash, I can control punch or flop even chip.

[@jmhollabaughgaming9329]

I needed this one.

[@birdpack7]

The Controller has Feelings Too...

[@marksimpson9902]

Cool ty will do that

[@SN-xw4gh]

splash shot timing gets me rattled sometimes. other times i just works. definitely very dependant on the backswing/follow-through speeds. i also feel like hitting offline makes the swing speed variations more penalizing. so a swing speed that results in grey fast with a perfect line, might be considered black fast if the line is off.

[@ttwistedyt]

Hi. Can you please tell me what you did to enable the elevated view of the hole seen at 1:46? On my config, when I'm in chipping distance and I press triangle, I don't get the same overhead view/cam that I get when I'm further from the hole. Instead, I get a static (non-interactive) zoomed-back view with the blue shot arc displayed...

[@stp366]

Instead of the splash shot if the bunker is not to deep I find it better to hit a chip shot

[@MidKnightYT]

That's a great option as well. I do find the chip to launch too low sometimes though to get out of the bunkers

[@massey8]

This is what I’ve been doing. I’ve not left one in the bunker and always around 3-8 foot away. I’ll even add loft for a little extra height. Should really practice this method though, and great vid 😁

[@dasheight203]

Just subscribed

[@MidKnightYT]

Welcome. Thanks for the sub!

[@jmhollabaughgaming9329]

I was making a come up in a society event moved up to 2nd then all of the sudden bam 4 shots in the bunker.

[@MidKnightYT]

Hopefully this helps end that issue

[@xaininpc5625]

Definitely agree you have to compensate way more from bad lie this year. In 2k23 to me it feels more explicit how much height you lose even on full swings out of bad lie. And to me it also feels like bad tempo affects even the height of your shot drastically, where in 2k21 I kinda remember you could still get decent height on a mishit. But now it feels push/pull also drastically lowers the max height you can get off a chip/flop/pitch, tho a little less so on a pitch. Also feel like that missing height is part of what makes it much harder to recover greenside or stop the ball from recovery compared to 2k21. Would you agree or not so much? It's been so long since I played 2k21 I can't reliable confirm or deny my own observation lol

[@MidKnightYT]

100%. If you have no green to work with and have hit over a bunker. Not Promising.

[@haroldbingley2458]

Crap that always happens and I don’t play pro yet

[@rickinwast]

Thanks for the tutorial. Enjoyed watching you play live the other day. I move to a new bunker location & turn myself aiming at the pin. However... In the green side bunker (62% - 75%) pin real distance is 20y/+3. Shot data box shows the distance to a pin (62y/+4) next green over! So the shot data for the LW splash shot at 100% = 55y

[@MidKnightYT]

I'm not sure exactly what you're asking. Are you asking me to tell you the yardages based on the scenario?

[@rickinwast]

@@MidKnightYT Sorry if there's confusion regarding my question. I'm referring *to my* situation. I'm in the chipping practice mode and have placed myself inside a bunker. My shot data box is showing a distance of different pin placement on a different green and not the one I'm in. Now, if I could only drop in a screen shot!

[@MidKnightYT]

@@rickinwast yeah I would close out and go back in. You cab move the ball around by pressing circle or B

[@paulkuch420]

Circle... It's "B" dude! Hahaha. I kid, I kid. What about these "When Grandma Burps Patrick Obeys" W, G, B, P, O white, green, blue, purple, orange. The golf ball sleeves. Are they worth using, which is best? Friction, magnet...

[@MidKnightYT]

Magnet right now is the best, but I haven't done full testing. I'll remember B for the future haha

[@warrenpassey7090]

Brilliant video. Now my problems are solved 👍🏻 I’ve got a ? How come when I buy new irons and wedges my PW doesn’t change? It’s stuck on the 2k one 🙈

[@MidKnightYT]

Either that set didn't have a pw or you are experience the all club set glitch and you have to do it manually. Go to your pitching wedge in your golf bag and click change appearance. Then choose the one you want

[@clw22580]

Maybe I’m just OLD but my swing path with the right stick is all over the place jiggling left right through out the swing I had to bump it down to proam😢

[@MidKnightYT]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/n2q0ZYatg8ifq6M check out the controller part

[@500Erin]

Very close Ma Kachada - but if you keep adjusting the cursor like you're doing, you're going to have to adjust the speed of your swing every single time-and learn infinite amounts of swing speeds. Why not learn one speed? - the one tied to the max yardage of the club - 35 yards? Use the FULL # yards of the CLUB - the CPU THINKS you are hitting a LONGER shot (35 yards) so the meter will have normal results - 'perfect's and 'gray' swings. Swing meter links to the cursor. Move the cursor, adjust the speed. I swing the club the same speed in 10 foot deep bunkers, 20 yard shots, 40 yard shots - cause it's all based on the same cursor position every time. Chips 'very fast' aren't penalizing but same formula applies.

[@MidKnightYT]

Everyone plays their own way. Happy to hear you found your niche

[@richjacobsen7217]

Great video. I am really struggling with putting in the new game, especially putt speed, or weight as they call it. Can we get a video on that?

[@MidKnightYT]

No problem. It's on the list.

[@Devinballer30]

What if there's a send bunker in middle of the green and the hole is inside the sand bunker

[@christiank5833]

They need to add ranked play into matchmaking for this game and an option in the settings to “reset calibration” that way you can reset your swing calibration to the games default any time you want to.

[@MidKnightYT]

They announced on release day Stan ranked matchmaking will be Released at some point this year

[@ianfinney7820]

So different from 2k21. I played three holes hated it and threw the game across my flat.

[@henryyoung6565]

How can I move the ball around in practice area on a PC? I can't find a button that will do what the "O" button does on a console. Great video instruction here.

[@henryyoung6565]

I found it. It's "B" (on PC)

[@bradjacober8784]

Where can I go to practice getting my yardages down for chip, pitch and flops?

[@MidKnightYT]

Same place. Just place the ball in the grass where you would normally hit those shots.

[@abomb1018]

First

[@incmplteGORILLA]

Lately, my problem has been on my second shot, I hit the ball slow or very slow. I can't figure out how I'm doing this. I try to get a fast swing.

[@MidKnightYT]

Try speeding up ypur backswing on the takeaway

[@incmplteGORILLA]

@@MidKnightYT I just watched your timing and transition video. Does that have anything to do with it also?

[@MidKnightYT]

@@incmplteGORILLA higher stats in those categories will definitely help

[@incmplteGORILLA]

@@MidKnightYT thanks mK! You da man!

[@rafaeltudela9952]

i think pga 2k23 y more hard to play in pro mode online than pga 2k21

[@cjrodelli1312]

I dunno. This hasn’t been my experience. Also I don’t think most people are 7:00 very fast. But I guess if they are this may help if they don’t want to improve their swing.

[@tonybrown4298]

how do you get the percentages to show my must be lockd off

[@MidKnightYT]

This was an old video. Could have been removed. I can check the settings and get back to you

[@pritchcentergaming1212]

Can some explain the lie penalty percentage to me ? The higher the number the worse lie? How does that work

[@MidKnightYT]

The lower the number the worse the lie. If you have a 100 yard shot and your lie penalty says 60%-70%. You will hit your 100 yard club 60-70 yards. This make sense?

[@pritchcentergaming1212]

@@MidKnightYT yes thank you much

[@jamellen1]

wonder if anyone can help me ? is there a place i can see the settings used online ? so i can apply them to my career ? such a huge difference now that its effecting my online play even playing the career mode thanks guys

[@MidKnightYT]

By online do you mean online matchmaking? If so, it is pro settings with all aids on and no putt previews.

or just take the lie penalty off and never have to deal with this nonsense
