Tgc 2

[rich]

I am getting my skytrack in a few days. I was wondering if I purchased TGC would I receive TGC2 for free when it gets released? Should I just wait?

thx

That's the $1000 question..... we all would love to know

The consensus and soft word from corporate is we will, but there hasn't been a firm guarantee from corporate to my knowledge. If we don't, a lot of folks will be disappointed.

Frankly, I would not put off purchasing TGC based on the belief that TGC2 will somehow be inherently better. If you look at the HB Studios TGC2 announcement, the main "improvements" all are related to console play. There is a "career" mode, play money, "automatic" spectators (god forbid), etc. The course design tools are being improved but nowhere does it mention the ability to choose from multiple tee boxes or to adjust the penalties or course conditions. There is nothing at all that would benefit Golf Sim play.

Further, ProTee has not made any announcement about what will be different in the TGC2 Sim vs. the current TGC Sim, nor when it will be available.

TGC 2 will have multiple tee boxes........and pins. Those changes alone make it wothwhile. I am pretty sure Protee will give us the update for free or a minimal charge. This is straight from the site:

I can add........ designers will be able to import their existing courses and apply the new features.

I personally can't see ProTee charging anything for the upgrade. Protee has stated that they want to keep and operate one tour. If they charge for it, more than a few players will not be upgrading. So the tour would be split in two.

Once they do announce that it is a free upgrade, they will look like hero's compared to the other guys.

We have never charged for ProTee Golf 2.0 updates since 2001. We have never charged for any TGC updates since its release back in August 2014. ProTee Golf 2.0 customers received TGC as a TOTALLY FREE UPGRADE. Product lifetime UPDATES will always be free.

However, we can not guarantee a free product UPGRADE path. No body can, as we just do not know what our future product offering will look like. As our history shows, we will always try to provide an UPGRADE for free, and if we really, really, really can't do for free it will be for a very small fee

I found that in this post
