@MerchCzar got the Legacy Edition Adidas on 3 years early.
Iāve got a few more test events set up more rapid fire since I know most of the player base will be coming in on 2/28 or shortly after with the full launch. I also changed the society difficulty settings for the swing vibration to be Open - I figured most players will use it for the swing transition, but this allows the option for those who donāt want it to turn it off.
For new players, society name is NLU Refuge Tour, look for the goose.
@ChickPhilA can we please get a thread title update, PGA 2K25 Refuge Tour - Testing - Come Get Involved
Thank you as always!
I played the First Look thing a bit and was blown away by how easy it was. Didnāt even think to change swing difficulty or anything because I just assumed itās because Iām great at the game.
Turns out, hoooo boy, am I bad at this game!

I am absolutely loving the game. Fantastic job devs, all due credit. But I have a very specific complaint - the fact that there is a brief loading screen when you open each message in MyCareer is patently absurd
Just logged in and saw that quite a large re-balance took place with a patch earlier today to make it take way longer to earn VC (in game currency) needed to level up a player, at least from My Career, and the payout you get for a completed round.
Note from the Discord, I think the overall sentiment from the community is very negative so maybe, more to come. Take-Two might have had some influence here. So far, HB Studios has been very responsive and positive to the community, so I hope that they continue that.
Also a note for new players, consumable golf balls will not be allowed in Refuge Tour events, as was the case in 2k23. The fitting system is different but the golf ball power-ups seem to be about the same.
One of my most specific gripes so far is how sponsorships work. Iāve won 6 events so far this season in my career and I skipped the event after the winning āthe mastersā and mizuno dumped me because of recent performance. I canāt fathom why the game would have that functionality
Do not use consumable golf balls right now, is my advice. With the new payouts, you do legit lose VC playing in the daily online tourneys if you use a consumable golf ball. Weekly you still make some since the buy-in is less for some stupid reason.
Am I getting punked? Just played the first round of the tgc-cc test event and did this. Not sure Iāve ever broken -9 on tgc settings prior. Genuinely confused
Um. My player got reset to 65 overall. What the hell? I was at like 83
Seems like we got us a Space Jam type situation going on.
You still have all your purchased attributes, they re-specced players apparently
CC is on Pro difficulty right now for their test events, I believe. Elite Tour is on Master, and Plat is on Legend
It shows all my attributes at the default sculptor ratings, are you saying that they are just showing wrong? Or they dropped the default ratings?
You have to go through and level it up again, you should see Owned AP at the bottom, which means you donāt have to spend VC to level them
All of the level up bars will be reverted to default. I forgot what I had specced up to so thatās annoying, but see screenshot for where it will display your owned AP
Got it. Maybe I missed an in-game notification of that, maybe they just didnāt do one. Was about to submit a very angry support ticket!
I am relieved though, I played a tournament in MyCareer and was having an absolutely torrid time with my swing path and thought I just totally sucked again
