2K23 Skills and Archetype discussion

[Deleted]

hammers1man , colly and others. I thought I would create a thread to exchange info on the subjects. I finally got to level 30 and I switched my Archetype to Greensman as Paul suggested. I was previously using Rhythm. I shot -6 in my career mode. My putting was much improved. I think I will stay with Greensman. Thanks for the tip Paul.

I honestly think if you accrue the correct fittings eventually any of the archetypes can be made to work.Each one just needs upgrading in the deficient areas.I’m currently using sculpture with a couple of orange fittings on my putter which has basically given me the same putting stats as Greensman.Power is already decent,timing  & transition are the two areas which really need improvement.Just have to be patient & apply the correct fittings when they come along.

Yes I agree with you there Mark. I started on Rhythm, went to Greensman, didn't like the timing in my swing there. Returned to Rhythm and using fittings to improve the weak areas. Nice addition to the game I think.

I have to agree with you Simon. At first I wasn't a fan of all of these fittings/archetypes. But I think it will level the playing field somewhat. Everyone can fit to their weaknesses and yardages that work for them.

Wasn't sure if you guys knew this or not. But when it comes to building up your fittings. Say for example you're building up your driver. If you already have a red fitting clubhead and grip. And you're looking to upgrade to a red fitting for the shaft. You can take 3 other red fittings that you aren't currently using and use the exchange button. Then can select which you want to upgrade power, timing, etc. Only thing to look out for since VC and rare fittings are tough to come by. Is to double check you have selected everything properly before hitting the generate button.

Did this last night and completed a red fitting driver with attributes I wanted to improve on and balance out. Just FYI as we can only have 100 fittings stored. You can sell the common fittings for 10 VC each.

Were you able to find out how to exchange fittings Wade?

But I will say this, make sure you use all the fittings that you can first. When you've got your golf bag just about set. Then look into balancing attributes with exchanging them. When they say rare or legendary (gotta look again which color is which), they are exactly that. At level 44 now and haven't seen a red fitting earned in awhile.

No I haven't figured it out yet on the PS5 lol. I'm sure there's some button I need to push. Getting ready to go upstairs and see if I can figure it out.

Edit: Ok, i just found this video so I will try it out.
