PGA Tour 2K25 Questions? Ask Them Here

[ChaseB]

Hey folks, we'll be getting some time with the game in the near future, so much like I've done in the past, feel free to ask some questions here and we'll try to get them answered. I won't personally be on site for this one, but I'll still try to forward these questions along to someone who will.

UPDATE

Answered what we could: here

1) A list of pros was released previously—is that the full roster?
2) Can you play as a pro in MyCareer?

(these questions may be able to be answered by the community—I haven’t checked the board in a while) Thanks.

Are we able to transfer courses over again?

If we choose desert/steppe theme, can the main ground be sand and not considered deep rough?

Will 3 click be separate from stick swing in ranked?

Re: PGA Tour 2K25 Questions? Ask Them Here

- Is the "Rival" system still in career mode? If so, does that mean that all pros (male and female) compete in PGA Tour events together (as was done in PGA 2K23)? Or is there a separate LPGA career mode, to go along with a PGA Tour one?

- With the new Evo Swing, do you have to swing diagonally on all shots at Pro difficulty and above? Or are the diagonal swing paths that were shown in the gameplay trailer due to shot shaping applied to fade or draw the ball?

- Can you add user-created courses to career mode to host the fictional events? Or are the "official" courses the only ones able to be used?

- Will majors have rotating hosts in career mode? For example, will Oakmont host the US Open in your first career mode season, and let's say, Torrey Pines, Pinehurst No. 2, or Pebble Beach host the event in the next season?

- Will pot bunkers be available for creators to use in the course designer?

With the new ball flights, how much will wind affect yardages?

Will shot types have tears (I.e bronze, silver,
Gold) like ea pga tour?

Will pros have their own set of shot types based on their attributes or can we equip them like loadouts? Same for our myplayer?

How many new post and pre shot animations are there?

Are hole fly overs back?

1.) Will there be some additional camera options in 2K25? For example a full on, 180 degree reverse angle that the gamer can swith to on demand. Also, a low height, 180 degree reverse angle camera option for putts?

2.) Will there be an option to have the other golfers in your "group' be in view when they should be in view, not just when they're playing their shots?

3.) Is it possible that we'll see other golfers in view on other holes, or up ahead on the hole you're on during tournament play?

4.) Has the thumbstick integration been made more responsive over what we saw in 2K23? It sounds like this new EvoSwing is going to require more nuanced control input from the gamer and a more responsive thumbstick/swing animation interface is going to be needed for that.

5.) Will there be an option to turn off "Depth of Field" in the graphics settings for all versions of the game?

6.) How many graphics options will be available in finding the desirable degree of Quality Vs. Performance a player may desire?

I play 2K23 from the Full camera from Tee to Green so wanted to know if it’s included in 2K25, additionally whilst putting the camera can be shifted & locked to a worm view is this still a feature ?

Re: PGA Tour 2K25 Questions? Ask Them Here

- Will there be any major differences in how different types of courses play in the game? I.e. more roll on links courses vs country club courses, putting off fairways on links courses slows the ball down less

- Have any changes been made to ball physics with regards to how it rolls in heavy rough/second cut and extra tall grass (i.e. Royal Portrush)? In 2K23 the ball seemed to initially bounce and roll the same in heavy rough as it did on fairways, will the rough vertically grab the ball a lot more and lead to lower trajectory bounces?

- When bouncing in the heavy rough/second cut, will the ball still make the same/similar sound as bouncing on fairway or will it be more distinct?

Can you use created courses on the schedule in career?

Re: PGA Tour 2K25 Questions? Ask Them Here

Has any tuning been done to CPU scores in career mode? Do course conditions affect CPU scores?

Re: PGA Tour 2K25 Questions? Ask Them Here

Thanks for the opportunity. My biggest questions of interest concern:

1. Full names vs. Gamertag id
Will created golfers and PGA Pros' full name (ex. Tiger Woods) be displayed now in
other game modes like Quick Play? Not a fan of playing Tiger Woods or my created
player being indicated as "CupcakeSprinkles55". Career mode was the only mode in
2K23 that used full names unfortunately.

2. Unleashing the PGA Pros in the game without limitation
Will PGA Pros now be able to compete head-to-head in Quick Play mode? Can we finally
use the Pros in Career Mode?

Not quite sure why 2K has been so averse to full use of the PGA Pros in the game.

Would love if you could do something similar with SDS and the Show

Re: PGA Tour 2K25 Questions? Ask Them Here

One question that I still haven't seen answered or addressed by NextMakers or devs is if majors rotate in career mode.

If we have to play the majors at Oakmont, Quail Hollow, and Royal Portrush every year in career mode, it will be really unfortunate...especially when they have Torrey Pines (previously hosted the US Open), Pebble Beach (previously hosted the US Open and PGA Championship), Pinehurst #2 (previously hosted the US Open and PGA Championship), and Riviera (previously hosted the US Open and PGA Championship) in the game at launch, and then will have St Andrews (Open Championship host) in the game in several months.
