I can't see paying $100 for this game early, but I will likely get the standard version.

i don't have twitter so what are the patch notes?

"General performance improvements" were the only patch notes.

Legend...I usually get some of the Clubhouse Passes anyway, and they're included with it.

Not sure. What would an add on like the 1300 vc cost? Also isn't most of the stuff, other than the vc, in the legend and deluxe packs just cosmetic which I'm not really interested in anyways or just to plain cheap to buy.

For PGA 2K23, according to the PS Store, 1300 VC is $10.

I'll wait for a sale before getting this. I tried the demo and it just feels too much like the other HB games to me. I really like the broadcast camera though.

Re: PGA Tour 2K25 Demo Available Today, Post Your Impressions

what do you mean the game will be harder than the demo. the difficulty is the difficulty. i would bet you still have it on perferect swing.

Think about it for a second.

20 bucks extra is cheap. So usually a lot of clubs and clothes in the passes?

Try Legend bias swing. Feels nothing like 23 to me.

Typically it's been mostly cosmetics and gear, but in the past, they've also included the consumable balls, XP boosts, fittings, etc. in the paid and free tiers.

In 2K25, it sounds like the paid tier of the Clubhouse Pass will also include proficiency boosts for the shot types that come along with each season. The shot types will be free for all, but the boosts will not.

It also seems like there will also be "Legendary" clubs in the paid tier that won't lose their fittings when you "Evo" them.

This is all based on info Respawn shared in the last Red Fast Review podcast stream.

I'm with you on this. The demo is fine, but the experience seems pretty shallow and it seems like something I'd play for a few weeks and then bail on pretty quickly. I have no interest in accumulating XP and working my way through a skill tree like I was building my character in 'Dragon Age' or something. I somewhat understand the approach, but it seems to me this is like playing franchise mode in Madden and needing to grind your way through games to 'unlock' the ability to throw a screen pass. It's non-sensical to me, and is basically a continuation of video games being unable (or unwilling) to treat golf with the seriousness or respect it should be treated with as a sport.

Also, it bugs me that the galleries are basically 'ghost' galleries, and the ball doesn't ricochet off of people when you hit them. It was perhaps a bit over-done in the last EA golf game (you could basically use the people as a backstop or bumper rails on some holes, and the galleries stood WAY too close to the greens), but at least the people would somewhat realistically deflect and alter your ball if you sent one into the galleries. Seems like that would be a baseline expectation in the year 2025.

So I read with Legend you get access to the first 5 clubhouse seasons, does that mean everything in there is then available to use or does it still require vc? I've never used them before and have zero idea.

If you buy the Legend Edition, you get the following:

- Clubhouse Pass Premium (Seasons 1-5)
- Clubhouse Gear Pack—one outfit per body type per season

So, you'll get all the items and boosts in both the Premium and Free Tiers for the first 5 Clubhouse Pass seasons, as well as a specific outfit at the beginning of each season for both body types.

You don't have to pay any extra VC to get the items in the Clubhouse Passes...you unlock them as you level up in the pass just by playing the game. Respawn said there are 100 levels in each pass, and you usually get some kind of reward at each level. It can be XP boosts, fittings, golf balls, clubs, clothing, etc.

The nice thing they are doing this year is removing the time limit on completing each Clubhouse Pass. In the past games, you'd have a limited amount of time to complete the pass and reach the highest level. If you didn't get through it all, you'd lose out on whatever rewards you missed. In 2K25, the clubhouse passes never expire, and you can go back and complete a previous one, even if a new season has started.
