HAHA no kidding on his OVR rating. Probably needs to be rated somewhere in the 60's with potential to get to high 70's or so just due to age. But then again, if I were on the cover of a golf game and also the GOAT, pretty sure I could be 85 years old and would still demand a high OVR rating haha.

2K doing player rating reveals for this game is kind of silly to me lol. This isn't NBA or Madden (although it's dumb when they do it too), plus there aren't enough pros in the game to care about, let alone modes to use them in. Can't really do an UT/MyTeam mode either, not to give them any horrible ideas or anything

Only thing I wonder is that maybe pros are able to play along side you in career mode - another feature "borrowed" from EA? In that way, pros' attributes would be a bit more relevant.

It's not just 2k, it's everyone. From a strictly business aspect, if I were the marketing/sales director on the hook for any release at any gaming company, I would do the same. Flashy, meaningless trailers and hype to rake in as many pre orders as possible, and stall as long as possible to show any real life details of the game until the metrics are clearly showing that whatever pre orders have plateaued, and then release or allow the youtube influencers (we all know who and what is inevitably coming to a screen near you) to do a full walk through of actual game play to try to hook anyone that didn't pre order.

That's business. I'm actually encouraged, a bit, at the upgraded look of the game and the Evo shot thing. But for what little time I have to play golf these days, nothing like the previous 4 years, I'm just fine with the EA game until I can really see what this is going to feel like playing. It's not about the $80. Not at all. It's about not jumping in and investing time I really don't have, only to just shrug and put it aside after a few hours haha.

Make no mistake about it though...2k is going to rule golf gaming, and that's good. Even if this game surpasses what we are all hoping for, it's still squeezing and tweezing the very last juice out of the engine, likely with the same basic swing mechanics, and all of that.

One has to believe that if this is successful enough for them, and I truly hope it is if for nothing else than purely selfish reasons, with the team they have and finally going to nexgen (beyond PS5) for the next one in a couple of years will be the greatest golf simulation of all time. I think the future of golf gaming is in good hands with these guys. It's just a matter of whether it's worth it to me on this last upgrade on Unity.

Seems it was just bad timing and a misunderstanding. I had zero intention of causing anyone to feel bad because of a post I liked and a screenshot I shared of Tiger Woods' 2K25 attributes. I was just happy to have more details to offer up! :-) But if those actions did cause any issues, I am truly sorry. I appreciate all who come around these parts and discuss these games, and don't want anyone to feel like they are not welcome. We are a small subset of a small group of gamers, and having a group of others who enjoy these games as much as we each do is really a great thing. Anyway, I hope we're back to more 2K25 news here again very soon!

MAB, you just keep being you and rolling on. It's all good and we appreciate it. This is the only gaming forum I ever go to.

Cheers from -3 below Dayton Ohio haha

Exactly right, like what EA did with Jack. 99 rating. Of course they are doing that based on their glory days. As they should I think.

I don't play with the pro players, and maybe they do this with this new game, but I would think a LOT of Tiger fans would enjoy the ability to strip him of that rating and try to do a current day, fight back to relevancy campaign...starting him in the 60s or low 70s or whatever, and play with him through career mode like a Korn Ferry kid that nobody's heard of. That would be pretty cool for people that like to play as pro players, and especially Tiger fans, or any pro in any of these games that is set at the default OVR of their best days.

I was going to point out that it was -12 when I drove into work yesterday, but...

Thanks for the kind words, and I look forward to sharing more info as it rolls in!

2K did something similar with Michael Jordan back in the day in NBA 2K. You started him off as a rookie and could build your own career with him. Would LOVE to do something like that as Tiger.
