PGA Tour 2K25 Thread - Impressions, Videos, Streams, etc.

[MrArlingtonBeach]

Since tomorrow is the big day where the full PGA 2K25 game can be shown off live, and people will start getting their hands on Early Access, I figured it would be a good idea to put together a thread where everything related could be kept all in one place, and discussion related to it could happen, as well.

The embargo lifts tomorrow at 6 a.m. EST. Here's some info about what we know, in terms of when people will be streaming live tomorrow and what additional content is coming - most of these folks stream on Twitch and/or YouTube:

Gdog - streaming at 11 a.m. GMT / 6 a.m. EST on 2/20

CrazyCanuck1985 - streaming around 8 a.m. PST for 5-6 hours on 2/20, with another extended stream happening on Friday morning, 2/21

Seamount4Life - streaming for 12 hours straight tomorrow, 2/20, starting 8 a.m. PST, and doing the same on Friday, 2/21

b101 - releasing course designer tutorial videos tomorrow, 2/20, as well as streaming at some point tomorrow

Respawn - streaming 8-10-ish hours starting around 10 or 11 a.m. EST on 2/20, with some tutorial and MyCareer videos coming to YouTube tomorrow and Friday

ApexHound - will have content Thursday, 2/20...no specifics yet

Ma_Kachada - all-day stream, starting at 8:15 a.m. EST on Thursday, 2/20

Anyone who preordered with Early Access should be able to start playing it at midnight EST, 2/21.

Here's a look at some of what's to come in the next two weeks in-game:

I was originally going to get Deluxe, but decided on Legend for $20 more and everything that comes with it.

IGN review: https://www.ign.com/articles/pga-tour-2k25-review

"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."

8/10
