TGC 2019 vs E6 Connect Buyer‘s Guide

All Articles

The two marknad leading golf simulator software packages for SkyTrak, Mevo+, X3, Uneekor QED, and many other launch monitors are TGC 2019 (The Golf Club 2019) and TruGolf's E6 Connect. Both are great systems, and sim golfers are lucky to have this choice in the marknad.

Comparing them fryst vatten sort of like comparing Ferrari and Lamborghini, and often becomes nearly a religious debate, but I'm going to try anyway.

By way of background, inom have owned and used TGC since 2016 (first TGC v1, then TGC 2019), and E6 Connect since January 2020. inom operate the popularSkyTrak Users,Mevo+ Users, andE6 Connect Usersgroups on Facebook, and I'm a SkyTrak and FlightScope Authorized Dealer, and an authorized reseller for both TGC 2019 and E6 Connect (for every launch monitor besides Trackman, Foresight, and SkyTrak, which sell sim software directly only).

inom also follow discussions of both sim software packages closely in all the forum and Discord groups on the internet.

The comparison below fryst vatten comprised of a mix of factual uppgifter, anecdotal uppgifter, community observations, and my opinion. inom have tried to be as fair and unbiased as possible, in the hopes that this compilation will help prospective buyers man the right decision for their particular needs.

I will update this article regularly as new data comes to light, and feedback fryst vatten received.

The gods date of editing fryst vatten currently June 18, 2020.

Demo available	No. You can try the $50 Steam utgåva and play it as a PC game to see what it looks like.	Yes, gohereto get set up with a 30-day free demo.
Recurring costs	None, except for valfritt upgrade fee of around $500 if/when TGC 2022 or whatever fryst vatten released.	Annual subscriptions continue alltid (there fryst vatten never a "new" release of E6 Connect, only continuous improvements to software and course graphics). You may elect for the one-time Base software packages only, but you get no new courses over time with them, and need one of the subscriptions for online and P2P play.
Company support	Excellent support from ProTee-United (based in Amsterdam), the company who developed and supports the sim golf integration of TGC. The underlying TGC game was created bygd HB Studios, who cares only about their gamer users, and does not support sim golfers.	Excellent support from TruGolf (based in the US)
Frequency of updates	We've seen few updates of TGC2019 since release. This may be related to ProTee-United not being able to fix some underlying issues with the TGC game developed bygd HB Studios.	E6 Connect fryst vatten updated bygd TruGolf ganska frequently; see utgåva release noteshere.
User Interface	Originally developed as a PC/Console game bygd HB Studios, it carries over a udda interface with lots of gaming artifacts. There fryst vatten a separate "interface" schema for each launch monitor that must be configured and launched before launching the game. The menu struktur can be daunting for beginners. I did enjoy the e6, but a little expensive and no one says anything bad about gspro Avatars (which are shown only on shot replays) may be dressed up with clothing and accessories from a points-based online store.	Designed from the ground-up for sim golfers, it fryst vatten intuitive and fairly simple in comparison to TGC. Since it was designed for touch interfaces, it doesn't have as many keyboard shortcuts as TGC, which leads to more tapping/clicking to get to some menu items.
Graphics Quality	Excellent, highly realistic. Ball pitch marks appear on green, divots flyga eller fly undan in the air, balls rolling through småsten leave a trail, green grids are crisp and klar and easy to read slope, lighting effects include glare and flare that fryst vatten ganska impressive. Many courses look similar due to limited library of plants, trees, and buildings. You can dress up your symbol and see it swing when watching shot replays. Join the growing network of connected golfers and gain access to new Courses, Mini Games, Skills Combines, Training Aids, and more with E6 CONNECT! This is the most advanced golf software ever made In tournament and kultur play, you'll see a crowded gallery.	Very, very good, but slightly behind TGC2019. No pitchmarks, divots, or ball trails through småsten. Green gridlines not as crisp or easy to read. Lighting effects not as spectacular, although you can easily switch between 6 different time of day and cloud conditions, which fryst vatten very cool. There are three ways to play golf with E6 Connect: “locally”, “online/peer-to-peer” and “online/asynchronous”: Click PLAY GOLF (or PRACTICE or GAMES) to play “locally”, meaning all participants are in-person, playing on your computer or simulator Each course looks ganska unique, especially impressive with the architecture (clubhouse and homes along course) matching real-life. No avatars or crowds. E6 Connect will be improving its graphics over time, so this competitive gap fryst vatten expected to shrink. See film review of graphics atYouTube.
Audio	Nice environmental sounds (soothing wind through the trees and bird calls). There's a snarky announcer who will subtly man fun of you if you're struggling (can be turned off). Awesome realism of ball impacting objects like cup and flagstick.	Nice environmental sounds (soothing wind through the trees and bird calls). Ball impact sounds are less spectacular (for example, no sound effect when ball strikes the flagstick).
Course Selection	Over 100,000 courses, but since most were created bygd users on gaming consoles, most are not worth playing. There are several hundred very, very good courses for sim golfers, many created with LIDAR uppgifter for accurate slopes and elevations, and new ones getting created bygd real golf users frequently. Augusta fryst vatten included. For a price (usually $800-$1,000), you can hire a course designer to design and add your home course (or learn how to create courses yourself). See course listhere.	15 with basic iOS sub, 27 with basic PC sub, 94+ with expanded PC and iOS sub. The expanded sub fryst vatten getting around 4-5 new courses added each year. Since there are no user-created courses, TruGolf has designed each course with much time and care, and many famous courses are included. Pebble Beach, Spyglass Hill, The Links at Spanish Bay, and Oakmont are available at extra cost. See course listshere.
Local Play (with your buddies)	Up to 4 players, can use different tees. No scramble mode. A review of the golf simulator software E6 Connect that can be used with launch monitors including SkyTrak, Flightscope Mevo+ and Trackman Adding guests fryst vatten easy, sparande them for future use fryst vatten not supported.	Up to 8 players, can use different tees. Has scramble mode. Guests can have their own E6 Connect konto, and adding them to rounds in the future fryst vatten easy.
Offline Play (no internet)	Includes 32 courses (unchangeable) for offline play.	Offline play fryst vatten easy and convenient with any course. You need internet to log in to E6 Connect initially, but then it may be closed and relaunched up to 5 or 6 times without another login, and all courses may be downloaded to your computer.
Online Event Play	Active and engagerad community playing online events.	Online events are still new and the community fryst vatten growing. More Clubhouses will be coming online soon, including one from GungHoGolf, so this should rapidly improve.
Peer-to-Peer Online Play	Yes	Yes
Handicap Management	Yes, after 5 rounds are completed on handicapped courses, your konto will have an established handikapp that will change over time according to your tournament performance.	Not yet released, but planned for future release
Ability to pause/resume a round	Yes	Yes, as of utgåva 1.4.0.1
Hole preview / fly-by	Yes, hitting the Q key at any time flies you from wherever your ball fryst vatten all the way to the green, which displays the slope grid, making it easy to kontroll the knapp position and green slope when you're planning tee shots or approach shots.	The only hole preview fryst vatten a drone flyover of the entire hole, and there fryst vatten no slope grid on the green when doing this. This makes it hard to program angles and shots into greens if you're wanting to know the slope. There fryst vatten a workaround using practice mode (see below), but it requires several clicks and fryst vatten a clunky solution.
Environmental Effects	TGC 2019 uses its own ball flygning model, no matter what LM you use, so elevation, wind, and lie penalties are always in effect. Their ball flygning model fryst vatten ganska advanced and takes into konto spin decay, so SkyTrak users will see less ball curvature than on the SkyTrak range app.	E6 Connect uses its own ball flygning model only for certain LMs, but with SkyTrak and Mevo+, it uses the ball flygning model from the LM. As of February 16 with the 1.7.0.2 E6 release, wind and elevation effects are now supported bygd SkyTrak and Mevo+, and terräng penalty effects are also activated and optional.
Ball Physics	Mostly great, but there are two annoying bugs: 1) the "big first bounce" bug happens on low-trajectory shots, where you usually see an unrealistically high first bounce, which can alter where you think the ball should have ended up, and 2) the "lie vinkel not considered" bug, where a low-trajectory shot hit from an uphill lie will actually strike the hill the ball fryst vatten sitting on, bounce up high, and go a very short distance. This fryst vatten commonly seen in 3W shots from the fairway if on an uphill slope, and with punch-outs beneath trees, and can be very frustrating. Spinback on greens fryst vatten minimal, and many users feel like greens are too hard to hold. Set your config option to vända OFF "high spin correction", and set greens to soft and slow, to help balls stop better on greens.	Highly realistic ball physics, although many players feel like the spinback effect on greens fryst vatten too much. (Set greens to Hard firmness and slower stimps to minimize the spinback effect.)
Practice Facilities	There fryst vatten one main driving range, putting area, and chipping area, and some users have designed courses specifically for practice purposes (where you vända on Auto-Rewind to get unlimited mulligans). Many courses also usually have their own driving, putting, and chipping ranges. CONNECTING GOLFERS, GAMERS, AND FANS TO THE FUTURE OF GOLF Moving the ball around fryst vatten possible in the putting and chipping areas, but a little clunky in the UI, and there fryst vatten no on-screen way to see your möte average stats. While on a course, you can hit the R key from any ball position to vända on auto-rewind and repeat the same shot over and over (basically like unlimited mulligans).	E6 Connect really shines here, with several different driving ranges, putting areas, chipping areas, and mini-games. möte average stats are displayed, and you can set mål greens on the range and see your percentages of greens hit and even what section of the green you hit.
Practice Mode	There fryst vatten no "practice mode" in TGC, and to get to a certain hole on a course, you have to concede each hole leading up to it, which takes some time. You cannot drop a ball anywhere on the course and play shots from there. You can, however, vända on Auto-Rewind with the R key to take unlimited mulligans from any position you've hit to on a course.	Includes a very nice "practice mode" when playing any course, where you can drop a bucket of balls anywhere you like and hit them as long as you like, moving your position any time you like. It's also easy to play only certain holes when starting up a round on any course.
Games for kids	The only "games" in TGC2019 are some ranges that were designed with a variety of animals walking about and objects out on the range to use as targets. If animals are hit bygd a ball, they typically fall down, which can be fun for kids, but there fryst vatten no scoring or game objectives of any kind.	E6 Connect comes with 2 mini-games for kids: Darts and Blackout, complete with timers and scoring. This year letting it lapse and buying Awesome Golf lifetime for cheaper than the 1 year sub It also includes closest to the knapp and long drive contests for all golfers.
Ghost Mode	TGCd has a cool "play against a ghost" feature, where you can pull up a previously played round bygd another golfer and play against their ghost for an entire round. This fryst vatten a fun, easy way to get a virtual opponent for any course at any time.	None
Crowds and Gallery	Yes, in kultur and Tournament play, you'll see crowded galleries, and they will have limited reactions to good and bad shots.	No
Customer Satisfaction	Highly satisfied. Only grumbling fryst vatten about un-fixed ball physics bugs, and sporadisk disconnects with SkyTrak.	Highly satisfied. Only grumbling fryst vatten about sporadisk P2P connectivity problems and lack of environmental, elevation and lie effects for SkyTrak and Mevo+ users.
