Cool, we need a new off-road driving game.

I don't know if we'll ever hit the peak of 2003-2005, but I'm in for more Tiger Woods golf games even if it's just more 2K21.

 

[SwampBastard]

I bought 2K21 during a Black Friday sale and I like it a lot. It's the first golf game I've played since Tiger Woods 2004 on the PS2.

Agreed. I bought the game to try out Stadia since it’s slower paced. I really enjoy it. Looking forward to seeing a PS5/XSX native golf game

Is he as big a deal as he once was? No
Is he still a big deal? Yes

As an owner of all three golf games they have made I'm happy for them, 2 million sold is quite a feat.

 

[Jarrod38]

Bring back the more arcade style Tiger Woods games.

Why is this post allowed? I mean the man was just in a horrible accident, and people are now allowed to post tasteless jokes like this? If a joke post about LBGTQ was posted, the member would be banned...

Not setting a good prcedence here tbh...

I assume this joke was in reference to the golf cart incident w/ his wife and not the recent car crash that left him severely injured right??

Better get the 9 iron he's getting close

EA is probably not going to make another golf game any time soon then.

 

[xem]

please support track balls....

 

[BloodHound]

So will this game get a new name?

 

[inner-G]

Wow, hope it works out well

2K21 is the first good, big PC golf game in a long time. I bought my dad a GTX 1650 for Xmas for it, lol

 

[berts08]

Hate the SIM golf that 2k21 make, the Tiger Woods golf by ea was great, it was more arcady and fun. The developers won't change their style as it's the same gameplay from The Golf Club. I also hate the SIM gameplay putting. I will never buy their games unless they change the gameplay.

 

[DOT_mjo]

PGA 2K21 is fucking incredible. Does this mean next year will be named after him or just that he will be the mascot for the game?

 

[Gamecocks625]

Good to hear even if just for nostalgia reasons.

really hope the next Switch version is better optimized if I’m going to dip back into the series

Tiger Woods PGA 2KXX would be my guess.
