Unless it’s on a different engine. I’m not sure how excited I’ll be for an iteration of the golf club.

NextMakers have started to make videos now about the upcoming release. Here's CrazyCanuck:

Hoping with this new game 2K finally opens up access to PGA Pros in the form of having the ability to compete directly against them in a Play Now mode (as a fellow PGA Pro), play as the Pro in a Career mode, and especially while playing as the PGA Pro have their name listed and not my gamertag ID. I can't hit the ball 300+ yds or straight (much of the time) in real life, so I don't want name associated with elite golf playing.

From the PGA 2K twitter account - not much, but a hint info is coming soon:

I wish I was even remotely interested


I'll be stunned if this is anything but a content pack and bugfix to 2k23 that comes with a new name (2k25) and an ask for a new purchase

I'm not expecting a whole lot myself. More than anything, I want them to offer an option to the swing difficulty to change the swing mechanic to where hook/slice is determined by swing path, and push/pull is determined by stick tempo. Even if they would only enable it for offline play, I'd be content, but I could see it working as a Society custom choice. I simply feel that swing tempo has so much less correlation to hook and slice than swing path does.

I'm 99% sure that the game will use the Unity ending again, but even at that, I think they could do better. I'm hoping they'll give us an option to turn vsync off in the XBox Series X and PS5 versions, and use Variable Refresh Rate on those two machines. I think it would help with some of the stuttering I see on my Series X. I'd love to see what it could do with the inconsistent swing response I get that I suspect might be at least partially attributable to that.

They hired Patel, so the game will probably change somewhat. Maybe some more dispersion like randomness, or something else like challenges could be added.
