Will there be a EA PGA Tour 2025?
Hopefully a 2025 version will be in the future? What do you think?

@ELF014 I don't disagree with you but I think that you are exaggerating. I agree that the game is too easy and that some shot type like flop shot are too easily perfect, but I totally disagree that it is an arcade game that can be compare to mario golf ... Common man the game is a next gen golf game with stunning graphics, near perfect swing animation, very good feeling of the swing and I think I'm pretty good at the game too but to win the tournament I have to play my best golf game.
@Mickstudio1308 The man is right, it is closer to an arcade game like Mario Golf or Everybody’s Golf than a simulation golf game. Not even 2K really nails it with their latest effort. What this generation of consoles can do is much more than what EA have done. Apart from gameplay issues, I’ll just list some things that can be done that would put this in a much better place in terms of content and customisation
Club loft and lie angle adjustments
Shaft flex and weight
Driving range with GC Quad type features showing launch angles, directions, spin rates, face to path angles etc
Being able to open up club faces to adjust dynamic lofts for flop shots and other high lofted shots
Adjusting one’s own stance to the ball like opening it up for a fade
Theres many more too but of course, these are optional and those that don’t understand the intricacies of golf don’t have to learn them, but for those that do understand them like myself and ELF, give us that level of control and difficulty
I’d hate to say it, but probably Everybody’s Golf VR is closer to golf simulation that EA’s game as it seemed to understand golf better in terms of the actual swing even if I couldn’t execute a flop shot on it like I can in real life 😆

Golf+ on quest 3 is great too.
"it is closer to an arcade game like Mario Golf or Everybody’s Golf than a simulation golf game."
This is what folks just don't want to hear, but it's true
This plays a really bad game of actual golf if we are being honest

A voice of reason.

100%
it feels like nobody on the dev team actually plays golf in real life. Especially the ball physics are really off. 100+ yard rollout on links courses and wedges spinning like crazy out of knee high links rough or flop shots just off the green spinning back just isn´t realistic.

I actually agree with you there. What you mentioned is especially common in Wolf Creek. I have played the Tiger Woods series since 2003. The TW games just had much better ball physics. I think the devs for that series got advice from Tiger himself. That’s why those games were much funner. EA has the IP for this series and I am hoping EA PGA Tour 2025 resembles TW14 with better graphics. It’s so shocking a game more than 10 years ago is better.
