I've played 9 holes a few times now. So glad they kept the same feel while swinging. Also, I was worried about the diagonal swing path, but It's not overly difficult on pro. To sum this game up in one sentence....The entire game just feels more like golf now. So much better than EA's offering. At least for me.
12:12 Sooooo relieved to read the description that 'rhythm' now impacts power which makes way more sense. It felt so inconsistent and frustrating to me in 2k23. I would hit two shots that seemed to be exactly the same rhythm and one would be fast and the other slow. I would imagine JK Simmons slapping my face and yelling "RUSHING or DRAGGING!?"
( i'm french , so sorry for my bad english) The new swing is hard but in my player you can change it to have à left to right swing. Now it's perfect for me. Great game 👍
I had my boys try out a couple holes this morning. It was on the default easier setting and my 8 year old birdied his first hole. Needless to say they loved it and I'm looking forward to the scramble format to get them interested in golf.
You're complaining because they are giving away VCs for free? You never had to buy VCs in the first place, I played 2K23 and never bought anything, got all my VCs from playing the actual game, maybe try that first before complaining?
NGL Ryan, I was screaming at the screen "less talk more golf" for 10 of those 14 minutes before you finally tee'd off. Love the sound effects. The ball striking sounds brilliant, way more realistic. I also like that the short game is more of a challenge, felt chipping in particular was far too easy on previous 2Ks.
Really nice that your accuracy is no longer tied directly to tempo/rhythm. They balanced it out by having two other factors determine the hook/fade (push/pull on the backswing and open/close on the downswing/contact point. Makes way more sense. 2k23 was a bit too inconsistent with the tempo on Xbox. Was very frustrating at times. Overall, some things are harder and some are easier, but nothing so dramatic that it loses the feeling of the game. Nice upgrade overall. Looking forward to the full version coming out.
The drop depends on where you cross the hazard.as you played from the tee straight over water and into water the only option is a retee. If it went over say the fairway and hooked then into the water you'd have got a drop on the line you went into the water as per the ball flight
was really surprised to see there is a demo. I am having a blast just hitting on the range. I really love the new swing. It is still difficult but not insanely difficult
Man, just played 2K25 demo (free on Steam), and I'm actually very positively surprised how good the game is. New real time mouse swing and new 4-click system are amazing. It's really satisfying hitting good balls now on Master level. Physics are great, visuals are on par with EA PGA TOUR, audio is fantastic. I see this game already in my Steam library.
Hey Ryan as always a great video. Definitely will be very interested in your breakdown of the putting in a future video. Your technique from 2K23 with estimating the speed of the crossing beads and the distance from the hole was spot on. Definitely want to see your take on how similar 2K25 is on the greens. My first impression was that putting was much more difficult in my first couple of 9 hole rounds.
Was downloading as I was watching you. Tried the demo and I think the new swing is do able. After a few rounds was getting the hang of it. Putting was the hardest to get used to. Cheers and thanks for the video.
I’m currently playing the demo now. Loved 2k23 and got the platinum on both ps4-5. Cannot wait to get into career mode just also spend hours on community courses.
@adg69 so stupid smdh.. you're telling me we can't even hit a straight shot in ranked? Such a stupid concept, in order to swing straight back and through you'd have to stray from your stock swing bias and change your shot shape every single time.. which results in making your swing path, timing and difficulty harder! Smh
Ryan!!! You are the man! I didn’t get to sign on my PS5 today so I didn’t know about this! It looks so good! The graphics look awesome. The best news I heard all day was 2K25 Golf demo is here!! Thank you for this great video! Cheers!!
Glad that this possible scenario didn't happen. Ryan aces the par 3 16th in the demo then retires before actually playing the real 2k25 game. Also the first image in replay of the close up of Ryan's rear end was classic.
Thanks for this Ryan. It looks absolutely awesome. The gameplay looks like just what I wanted. Challenging, but very realistic. I should have known though, that the thing you seemed most fired up about was the ability to take screen shots from any angle 🤣🤣🤣 Edit: Love the new Jerry 🤣🤣🤣
I love the content of all the guys who went to the hands on demo thingy at TPC Scottsdale but Ryan should have been there as well. You have been pumping out the 2k content for years and anyone who is insane enough to fight through 66 rounds at central park AG to break par deserves it lol
I need an option where the transition off the drive immediately follows the ball like the old EA games. It's too slow even with transition cam On. It will also be a challenge for me as a Powerhouse to get a second archetype as a chip and flop shot specialist so I can avoid long putts.
Hey Ryan. I'm a new subscriber. I loved your analysis of 2k25. It was like we were learning the game together. I will be referring back to this video once I buy the game. Great job taking us through the beginning steps slowly and thoughtfully, and at times quite funny. Keep up the good work!
New to 2k. Playing the demo and loving it. I am confused though. Lets say I'm on my third shot is to the green. Why is my aim always really left of the hole or right. I think i'm missing something. When I line it up and hit a decent shot its off with accuracy? There's no wind in the demo. Also I can't change the difficulty?
@@GamerAbility Just played the back 9. Swinging is definitely and adjustment but I think I'm on board. It was nice to try it before getting the game. Can't wait now!
Sure hope they eliminated fast forward when putting ( it is stealing the read from other players) also players should have to be on practice mode when taking " test swings" if not ,they are addressing the ball and should count as stroke....also fast forward putting looks cheap and those who use it believe it's to their advantage therefore unsportsmanlike
Hey Ryan, just wondering if I will be able to use my numbering system for the grids on the green's in 2k25 like I did for the grids in 23. I don't think you mentioned that. The speed of the moving grids should be the same as they were before, as least I hope they are, or I'll have to come up with a new system. Just a thought of mine that came to mind.
Liking what I'm playing so far. My only complaint is why do i have to hit at an angle when I'm hitting a straight shot? It makes total sense when you need to hit a fade or draw, but because they make you select a natural fade or draw swing, I have to adjust the swing every single shot I take just to get close to a straight shot. That part I don't like at all. Think it deserves a change, but at this stage, the game is finished and won't be adjusted anytime soon. With that said, I do like the angle, but only on the correct type of shots. My favorite thing so far is how much unforgiving the putter feels now. Could be because of the 65 ovr golfer, but if you don't hit a straight shot with your putter it will go off the line you want. Adds a lot more realism.
Lets go Ryan!! Man I can't wait for this game to come out, it looks soo good! I'm so pumped to see this new game on the channel and I'm really looking forward to seeing Ryan and Jerry on the course again. I heard Jerry has been working really hard with Ryan on his bunker and chipping game! haha thanks for the great content Ryan, always appreciate it and the great laughs. Hope all is well with you and the family. Take care buddy
Thanks for the review. Really enjoyed working through the training and practice mode. I like that they expanded the variations under the practice mode. Plus, they still retained the ability to move around the practice area! My one request at the point: Option to move the swing meter to the left or right side.;
I dunno but ea sports PGA tour is the first real golf game I've ever owned and I put over 150 hours into it but it started with playing PGA2K24 because it was free on PS plus
@ I play on pro am no way am I close to your guys level. I’m going to take my time inn the game and watch your guys videos to get some tips. When is the baby due? Do you know if you’re having a boy or girl? Take care
Hi can you help me with this watching your videos I notice you have green information ie it tells you how many inches up or downhill ,which settings do I need to alter ,love the content btw
cheers ryan lets go!!!!!!! im just as excited as you hahaha (this is abstraktmind on my work account) lol couldnt wait til i got home to watch this one
I am playing on Performance! I briefly showed the difference between them when I was looking at the difference settings, and the 60 fps just feels so much better
I played on legendary and the game seems slightly easier than 2k23 which isn’t really a bad thjng. 2k23 was brutal on legendary and master. This game’s a little easier on these difficulties
I just played on pro.. I am having an easier time with the timing/rhythm in 2k25, than 2k24. I am using a Razor Wolverine V3 Pro.. standard thumbstick setting... I'll try circular tomorrow
Huge and pleasant surprise. The Demo was good , great ball physics. I like the cameras on the Tee and when the ball lands. I plugged my controller in after I started it and it didn't let me use the controller. I also didn't see how to change difficulty. Ok so you need to have your controller plugged in before you start.
Yes you can switch to 3 click in the control options in the Gameplay Demo. There is now one additional hold and release after last click to set the rhythm of the shot. It is a hold A/X the let up for transition > 1st click for swing path > 2nd click for contact > Keep contact button held then let up for Rhythm
Hey Ryan! Long time. Now that you have played 2K25. If you didn't already have EAs PGA game, would you get it? Right now, the Deluxe edition is $8.50 on XBOX.
Hope they improve the performance a bit. Lots of hiccups in frame rate when zooming or moving the cursor around fast. Putting feels off too going to take some getting used to the speed lines
The swing bias is going to take some getting used to. I'm really struggling w/ push/pull and open/closed. Master, and esp Legend, can be very punishing. I like that there seems to be a lot of flexibility to cater the game to your liking. It will be interesting to see what TGCTours and other [sim] societies come up with settings wise. Lastly, curious to see if the swing gets "easier" or has less negative affects as your golfer lvls up and stats/attributes increase. Overall, I wasn't a fan the 1st few times I played it, but it's growing on me. The fact that it appears Xbox players won't need a 3rd party controller is a huge plus.
Does the new swing mechanic feel slower than the previous game? I always played EA because I hated how fast and arcadey 2K felt. I really hope it feels slower and more realistic. The game looks really good
just 2 faults. 1. Putts with uphill backstops now have incorrect distances. the distance expects you to putt past the hole, up the backstop, to then role down to the flag which is so wrong and like EAs silly putt lines that went past the hole to roll back.... Going to make uphill putts almost impossible with these distance errors if there is a hill closely behind the hole and the game suggets you use it... i want all my putts like in 2k25 stopping at the hole... 2. You can still ignore EVO swing and go straight up and down like in 2k23, simply aim your drive and 3 wood above your wrists to the target line with club in hand, and behind the players buttocks for approach with irons. Anything within 120 yards is straight enough to do the EVO swing. Other then these 2 things, i love it. Im interestested to see how difficult it still is when we are all 95-99 OVR
I don’t know man. These graphics are still not close to where they need to be. Player models in particular are bad. Commentary is so bad. How do they think it’s a good idea to still have this dude calling it solo like he’s your annoying friend on the course? It’s supposed to be a golf tournament, so give me some tournament announcers. Why do irons sound like cheap metal woods?
After playing it for a little bit, there’s a lot of things I love but I still think ea does other things better. All the swing mechanics, putt preview all of that works great. So happy to see a reply button ! Hopefully I can have two create a golfers at once so me and my roommate can play against each other with our own people. The only two things I really don’t like about the game and I think EA does it 10 times better… Number one the commentary ! The commentary is really bad. I don’t know why it’s on the perspective of me somehow as a third person commentator ? Everything they say is extremely personal and saying it as if he hit it ! The EA commentary is 10 times more realistic. Just sounds like an actual golf presentation and that’s all I ever wanted to be to look like a golf presentation and a sound like one. Number two is the graphics sure it looks alright, but when you compare it to EA, there’s just a night and day difference on ps5 How hard is it to make grass and some trees look really really good really on these new systems really… trees need to look spectacular and have rays of light coming down between them… I haven’t seen any weather yet, but if it’s 2025 and a golf game doesn’t have variable weather like rain then what are we doing… what’s the point in all the money
@@mrclancymac1 You do realize that this was just a demo right? Commentary is most likely way better in the career mode. EA straight up gave up on their game and left so many bugs. EA was way too easy.
Hell yeah people are gonna suck this year can’t wait been so tired of being able to do the downswing and upswing line absolutely perfect and kids that can’t get the same dam perfect shots I do
It’s hard to mess up golf gameplay it’s been perfect since 2005 the only thing that matters to me is the visuals and ea still looks so much better so I’ll be staying there unfortunately
Everyone , we need to buy the most expansive version and don’t even buy the season pass to show them we love the game but we don’t like the game pass .
The new swing bias is really really thoughtful by 2K. Feels real. It may be the best golf game ever
I've played 9 holes a few times now. So glad they kept the same feel while swinging. Also, I was worried about the diagonal swing path, but It's not overly difficult on pro.

So glad I am not alone in thinking that
“We don’t need the help button!”
Two seconds later…..”What does the right stick do??”
lol
LOL!!!!!!
( i'm french , so sorry for my bad english)
The new swing is hard but in my player you can change it to have à left to right swing. Now it's perfect for me.

The fact they you 500 VC to start is not a good sign. This is about to be a micro transaction nightmare
its 2K lol expect nothing different

100% it made me so sad
Gonna be Pay to win.
lol you’re right.
Okay I can’t wait to download the demo. Thanks Ryan

You can turn off the swing bias in the difficulty settings and it will put it back to a straight swing
Not in online competition, right?

GREAT video ! HYPED for release ! Has soo much potential to be the BEST golf game ever !! ❤
Just played the demo. Gonna take some getting used to but it's so fun
“Most customisable”
Proceeds to not be any more customisable as 2k23
Glad that this possible scenario didn't happen. Ryan aces the par 3 16th in the demo then retires before actually playing the real 2k25 game. Also the first image in replay of the close up of Ryan's rear end was classic.

Best video content creator out there showcasing this. Looks great and exciting .
Thank you so much for the kind words @southernrun9048! Great to see you my friend!

I checked the difficulty setting while taking the first shot in lessons. It's not on pro, it's on perfect swing.
The graphics are still behind EA, but def improved from 2k23, I find it hilarious how excited everyone is about the graphics lol
Keep on playing nine holes until you can shoot under in harder difficulty
All i can say is wow!!
Dude! I freaking LOVE the swing. They nailed it.
Thanks for the review. Really enjoyed working through the training and practice mode. I like that they expanded the variations under the practice mode.

Played the demo's 9 holes, had a peek at the settings. Looks promising.
How to download on ps5pls
Imagine legend swing setting on an impossible round at central park 💀💀💀💀
LOL!!!!! Imagine!!!!
Oh boy, got ahold of the game myself and by goly is the diagonal swing hard. The first few shots I was shanking drives like 20 miles to the right.
So what are you likely to spend coming in as a new virtual golfer. This would be my first experience with a golf game like this.
Thanks Ryan looks fun 😂
Appreciate you Larry! It is really fun! But wow is it tough LOL!
@ I play on pro am no way am I close to your guys level. I’m going to take my time inn the game and watch your guys videos to get some tips. When is the baby due? Do you know if you’re having a boy or girl? Take care
the sound of the irons is nothing like real golf , how can they never get this right
Also the putting sound isnt good, and looks clunky as always
Hi can you help me with this watching your videos I notice you have green information ie it tells you how many inches up or downhill ,which settings do I need to alter ,love the content btw
Awesome and thanks for posting this. One day I might be good enough to be your caddie
can you move on the tee box or still stuck in the middle?
Yes you can change your position on the tee box now! Hit Right Trigger and then use the analog stick to move around!
What is emerald for the challenges?
cheers ryan lets go!!!!!!! im just as excited as you hahaha (this is abstraktmind on my work account) lol couldnt wait til i got home to watch this one
Hey man, are you playing on performance or quality mode?
I am playing on Performance! I briefly showed the difference between them when I was looking at the difference settings, and the 60 fps just feels so much better
I played on legendary and the game seems slightly easier than 2k23 which isn’t really a bad thjng. 2k23 was brutal on legendary and master. This game’s a little easier on these difficulties

25 is definitely harder. I realize its new. Stiil feels harder.
Does it still have the camera that stays behind the golfer
Hey just wanted to know graphics wise is it on par with ea pga from courses like pebble beach golfers etc
Hey Ryan! Long time. Now that you have played 2K25. If you didn't already have EAs PGA game, would you get it? Right now, the Deluxe edition is $8.50 on XBOX.
Featuring Duthtin
Announcer is still brutal!
So is there 3 click still or no?? I hope not it’s not competitive when everyone uses it
Yep
Right, so instead of male/female characters we have "type A/B" and I have to choose from 5 different pronoun options? Wtf am I playing?
Go woke, go broke.
It's a pass for me.
They amount fans your going to hit
LOL!!!! So true Brian!
Hope they improve the performance a bit. Lots of hiccups in frame rate when zooming or moving the cursor around fast. Putting feels off too going to take some getting used to the speed lines
I know you r show casing the golf game which is great. MLB the show 2025 has high school to college on RTTS. 💪
I know!!! I am so excited for the new RTTS this year!!! Let's go!!!
How did you get demo ? I checked on the official site but I couldn't find it.

@greyosprey I think as you skill up your Golfer the push and pulls will be more forgiving.
I like the swing so far Ryan... My fear is the VC is gonna be a grind like Topspin 25 is.
Another great well detailed video..thanks Ryan
Thank you John! Appreciate you!
Have to say I’m finding more challenging than 2k23
My chipping is getting me into strife

Why do irons sound like cheap metal woods?
Left is spin right is loft, no?
@Gamer Ability - Is Notah Begay III in the game to offer his exceptional analysis? 🤣
Why the hell is it asking me to set up an account to play the game when I already have 2k23?
After playing it for a little bit, there’s a lot of things I love but I still think ea does other things better.
All the swing mechanics, putt preview all of that works great. So happy to see a reply button !
Hopefully I can have two create a golfers at once so me and my roommate can play against each other with our own people.
The only two things I really don’t like about the game and I think EA does it 10 times better…
Number one the commentary ! The commentary is really bad. I don’t know why it’s on the perspective of me somehow as a third person commentator ? Everything they say is extremely personal and saying it as if he hit it ! The EA commentary is 10 times more realistic. Just sounds like an actual golf presentation and that’s all I ever wanted to be to look like a golf presentation and a sound like one.
Number two is the graphics sure it looks alright, but when you compare it to EA, there’s just a night and day difference on ps5
How hard is it to make grass and some trees look really really good really on these new systems really… trees need to look spectacular and have rays of light coming down between them…
I haven’t seen any weather yet, but if it’s 2025 and a golf game doesn’t have variable weather like rain then what are we doing… what’s the point in all the money
@mrclancymac1 you’re joking right? EAs commentary was so repetitive it was a joke and the game was too easy and boring.2k25 miles better
@ not even close. Have you played this demo ?
@@mrclancymac1 You do realize that this was just a demo right? Commentary is most likely way better in the career mode. EA straight up gave up on their game and left so many bugs. EA was way too easy.
@@mrclancymac1yes and it blows EA away
@@blackknight2013Exactly right
I have PlayStation 5 where is the download I can’t find it. Would appreciate a little help. Thanks
So go to the Demos section of the PlayStation store! Should be able to find it near the top there
Hell yeah people are gonna suck this year can’t wait been so tired of being able to do the downswing and upswing line absolutely perfect and kids that can’t get the same dam perfect shots I do
It’s hard to mess up golf gameplay it’s been perfect since 2005 the only thing that matters to me is the visuals and ea still looks so much better so I’ll be staying there unfortunately
Everyone , we need to buy the most expansive version and don’t even buy the season pass to show them we love the game but we don’t like the game pass .
EA looks better than this. IDK about this
Have you tried the 3 Click swing?
Is the first look opportunity gone now????
2K all the way!!! EA no way 😊
Yeah, and you’ll be the 1st to purchase a new ea golf game.
EA kills this.
Not with the EA play-doh characters😂
Are you bored yet with those few courses to play on with EA compared to 2K?
Seems like every shot is on that diagonal plan except for when u get on the green.
