PGA Tour 2K25 reviewed by Andrew McMahon on PlayStation 5, also available on Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
With substantial changes to how it looks and plays, PGA Tour 2K25 feels like a different game from its predecessor. The new swing mechanics, paired with the significantly improved graphics, makes for a much more realistic ambiance, even with a lethargic performance by the announcing team. The highly customizable MyCareer campaign mode shines as one of the most enjoyable parts even though it has a tacked-on personality system, occasional unnecessary connectivity issues, and of course microtransactions. PGA Tour 2K25 is still a few strokes behind EA Sports PGA Tour as the best golfing simulator around, but if it continues to improve like this with each new iteration, we may see it close that gap relatively soon.

This is way better the EA game
EA PGA Tour does not have crisp visuals like 2k25. There is too much chromatic aberration and the 60fps mode is not even 4k. This year 2k upped the grass and details so I feel it looks less cartoonish than EA. The camera angles and course views are different giving a different feel. EA may feel a little more immersive of a camera angle while 2K gives a sort of top down or Birds Eye vibe. Obviously all of this is personal preference but it’s what I notice so far.
Always online single player? Eff that. I'm out.
I heard it’s better game
EA's game won't even let you play with your friends in local co op so it's already a worse game in my opinion!
Do they have putt preview line
Online always? Do I can't play this in my submarine in Pacifica 002267
The main campaign is always online? Pass
Spent all their time in meaningless dialogue in single player rather than using the time to make the online experience better and having an online lobby system like Tiger Woods 08.
As a golf fan this game is unplayable to me because of how goofy and cartoony the players look.
It’s absolutely comical how disfigured they look and then they start swinging and it gets worse.
Tiger woods 99’ on PS1 came out 27 years ago and has better looking characters with more realistic swings.
2025k and the graphics are still down at 2018 level.
Is 100% online required again???
Tiger Woods 2005 had better graphics than this game. wtf?
Everyone in the comments got me ashamed of the fact I enjoy EAs game 😂. I have to give 2K another go so I can be part of the cool peeps! I think it’s just the familiarity for me.
How is it still so ugly for a AAA game
I don't think this game will sell because of Tiger and what Rory did recently and pretty sure both lost alot of fans
I paid extra money to help get the game ready for launch. Early access is a straight up no cap rip off, and my name should be included in the credits.
Early access or did I pay for early crapccess. I feel like i should be getting paid for telling you about all the crap before the release. I paid extra money to help you get the game working right on launch date. Im an idiot.
Love the path, transition, and contact meters. User friendly is super important, but when starting as a rookie on the Korn Ferry tour. I would never expect to shoot 41 under when second place shoots 10 under for the tournament.
The swing is too easy. The power meter is not really a factor when trying less than full shot, as the distance you set is set as the power zone.
No wind?
Why does the putting speed always default? I've heard it's the caddies suggestion, but then why don't they suggest break too?
Why do I have to start my backswing three times?
The default setting doesn't have a wind meter?
I like PGA 2K25 better than EA Sports PGA Road to the masters, 2k25 is a lot easier to pick up, and Enjoy than EA Sports Road To The Masters. The only thing better about Road To The Masters is the graphics are better otherwise 2k25 is much more fun to play.
This lost me when said always online. Y do games do this. If i lost my progress for full round. I would never pIay again. I miss toger woods golf. A blast to play and real enough.
Man I didn't even now this was coming out. Sweet.
WHY 8… it should of been a 9🤦🏾♂️
I've played the demo of this game and the golf part is much better. Sadly though the graphics look like they are from 20 years ago. Minimum effort has been put into making the game look good. Basic low poly assets. Poor character animation. I'd rather play the PGA's from 2006 than this.
IGN still gobbling up EAs money while reviewing a 2k game.
Thank you 1:55 , I will not be buying this if the one player mode always online, I have started boycotting that feature……….
