PGA Tour 2K25 Review (Grimace)
I'm convinced that people leaving positive reviews are either playing on a lower difficulty setting, paid to play, or are only doing exhibition games and not playing the career mode. Leveling up your character to make the 'Pro' (normal) difficulty takes many many hours (40+???,) and it's very hard to make your character better without paying actual money. Everything -except the difficulty of swinging the club- is much better than 2k23; and the developers know it. They are purposely charging you actual money to make your character progress quicker in this game on the 'Pro' (normal) difficulty setting that they pitch in the innovations of the game over 2k23.
Would I recommend it to a friend? Absolutely not, play something else. The difficulty of this game, which some claim as 'realism,' has been abused to make you pay more than the base price at $70.
