For what it's worth 2k25 runs muuuuuuch better on my ROG Xbox Ally X than PGA Tour does...so I'm back to playing 2k25 when I'm on my handheld.
I play EA 2023 on the cloud and it runs like a champ and an waiting a bit to see what the next handhelds look like. Played 2K25 today about four hours and am making progress and a bear to figure out putting and chipping. I had contemplated buying the ROG Xbox Ally X and still may as I like what it offers over the others but still holding out. Have Switch and love it and even considered getting Steam OLED Deck but if I had to buy right now I would get your setup.
PGA 2K25 runs great on the Switch 2. Steady fps. It has impressed me. Chipping is brutal if you are using 3 click swing. It’s broke. But it’s fine with the swing stick.

Thanks for the quick impressions. Was curious how it ran on the Switch 2.
Was checking out world wide sales of the last three installments of this series and here is what we got.
2K21. 3 million
2K23. 516 thousand
2K25. 185 thousand.
That's telling and not surprising as I have said all along that 2K21 was the gameplay of the series. With those numbers for 2K25 you got to wonder if there will be a 2zk27 and the money brought in for 2K25 is around 11 million and that not a lot for a Class A title. I think they beat themselves with the new pay to play aspect with VC and sorry but Im not paying extra after 70 bucks for the game itself. At Pro I'm clueless and can't break a 100 but at Amateur I can hang around par and it's enjoyable so thats where I will land with this title but then again I just got it and am a year behind the field. To me I wish HB would just part with 2K as 2K is nothing but a money grab and if they put a game out in 2027 that won't change and thats a shame.

Only have totals world wide for Steam and not as high as people think. I have a feeling the 2K games could be higher also but EA and Sony and Microsoft won't divulge numbers for consoles but will for other games which could be because they dont like the numbers. See below for Steam copied from Goggle.
While not representing total console sales, data from trackers indicated that by early 2024, the Steam (PC) version had estimated unit sales in the range of 70,000 to over 130,000, with a reported revenue estimate of approximately $2.7 million on that platform.

ok for steam yeah those numbers would make sense. but for console 2K23/2k24 each had to reach 1 million copies sold or close to it.
No guarantee that they hit those numbers like a million on consoles as I am not surecEA will come out with a new game as sales were not what they expected and they have pretty much abandoned the current game. Golf is a nitch sport and always was more popular on PC than console especially with the old Links series which is to this day played competively online. Now 2K could be a different story and in depends how they did on the pay to play sector of the game as if they sold a lot they will want to do it again in 2027. With how low players were going when the game first came out I bet a lot of thos -20 scores per round were doing that. I have been playing this game a lot by myself the last few weeks and just now am getting to the point of going under par at Amateur level right now. I won't by VC as thats BS and will work my way up to Pro and at this rate at least a month or so before I can play respectable at that level. I got to believe the casual player either quit or went to Perfect Swing to just be able to play. I'm liking the game the more I play and it's a real grind but I believe I will get there but right now not interested in shooting 110 at Pro in societyplay.

EA didnt market their PGA game at all this time around. 2K25 has been marketed mainly in the golf world like TopGolf locations and almost every PGA tour location.
What I hate the most about this new game is I have to look at the meter to play it as passing the Blue line of death especially on putting is just brutal. With 2K23 and EA 2023 I could play by feel and in 2K23 the vibration in the backswing was when you were at the top point. With 2K25 if I used no meter and just vibration it would be impossible as if you get to vibration you have gone to far. Also to short of blue line putt goes halfway. I just wish the penalty for not being perfect or blue line was not so severe. Chipping is a mess also as you really can't chip out of rough and the whole shot is a mess.

2K25 to me is like a glam car. It looks great from the outside, has all the bells and whistles, but when you drive it, you soon find out all the defecencies with the car. It's not a lemon, but it isn't all that it was hyped up to be.
I'm very happy with EA PGA. The graphics alone are incredible. I sometimes will turn the game on just to see the fly over of the courses. It was a shame they never put in simple things in that game like instant replay and other features that have been around for 20 years in other sports games.
EA PGA does one thing well but it's the most important thing in a golf game - it play's a great game of golf!
I have no data to back this up so I am talking completely out of my ass, but I'd put a pretty penny down that PGA Tour 2K25 sold significantly more than those numbers on consoles.
I really, really enjoyed EA PGA Tour. The graphics, atmosphere, single player tour, and fun factor were all top shelf IMO. The only medium sized complaint I had with that game was the inability to hold greens from mid to long range.
