For decades both EA and 2k dominated the sports genres of video games. There are rarely occasions like this in which both develop for the same sport at the same time. This video, as of February 2023, reviews the pros and cons of each.

09.03.2023Ea easily 2k is 🗑️
Evan Maines
07.03.2023I hated the gameplay of 2K23.

07.03.2023The ball physics , despite the marketing , looks as arcadey as previous renditions of EA golf games ; the only area they appear to have an advantage is with the players ; they look outstanding.

07.03.20233:38 You can't KNOW that EA will have the better career mode….although I admit 2k's career mode is lacking ; the AI scoring is lopsided and I've no idea why female players are included with the men ; ruins any sense of immersion
Brandon Hockey
07.03.2023EA and its not even close. I cannot stand 2k golf games

07.03.2023Users on 2k have already created accurate versions of most of the popular courses including Augusta. So i don't feel like that is a big reason to choose EA over 2k. IMO.

07.03.2023How the fck can you tell what game is best when you haven't played the EA game. What a div

07.03.2023It's EA..they will blow it..

07.03.2023are u reading off a script?

07.03.2023Seem to be fairly cut and dry now that we have all the details. Gameplay and mechanics and graphics will go to ea, 2k win's on variety also due to the fact it has a course editor the societal aspect (online) for 2k i would assume would be much stronger as well as the fact they also added crossplay. Last to add to that list although its probably a little gimmicky it does feed back into the societal online aspect and that would be Top Golf. Presentation and sound im sure will go to ea for the biggest reason owning the course licensing to the majors, course presentation will have that tv broadcast aspect to it being able to have all that on screen branding and what not.
The biggest weakness i see for ea is pretty clear, no course designer i think really hurts the game's longevity. Won't deny coming out of the gate with 30 courses and a few more a long the way is strong (this will be an even bigger blow if they charge for those courses outside launch again considering the competition). For 2k it would be the game engine, unity has got to go, unreal or something else please. Now the game doesn't look horrid by any means however put it up side ea pga tour and to me it looks like we have a current gen and last gen game graphically. I held off on 2k will get ea pga tour even though that blow to the gut hurts with no course designer. I will be really curious in the future if 2k uses a better engine and if ea were to well not be ea and give us a course designer that would be spicy.

06.03.2023We as the consumer wins. This hopefully is the start of these companies pushing each other again instead of resting on their names
Chris D
06.03.2023I mean I’m getting both so…
Simon Jones
06.03.2023I've never truly enjoyed the 2k series as they didn't have the licensing. I'm looking forward to playing a real tour experience with real Tournaments and courses.
David DeKing
06.03.2023I currently have PGA 2K23 which I enjoy playing very much. That said, I'm planning on buying EA Sports PGA Tour when it comes out since I want to be able to play Augusta among other courses. Thanks for a good comparison of the two games!
JHarder25
06.03.2023whichever one can allow you to sell out and go to LIV will probably be the one i get
Cameron Van De Velde
06.03.2023Knowing EA’s history with it last golf game and their sports games as whole in recent years, I am hesitant about getting this and not getting my hopes up! I will say this, from playing the tiger woods games growing up and then going over to 2K, it will take a lot for me to come back to EA! I say this all from gameplay perspective, while EA has stunning graphics, it’s gameplay was very Arcady and not realistic compared to 2K’s gameplay! I love 2K’s gameplay and while 2K23 is an improvement from previous years and definitely has areas to improve in, it has to be one of my favorite golf games I’ve ever played overall and a step in the right direction for their next game! I love how Tiger Woods is back, the course designer with hundreds and thousands of courses to chose from, crossplay, and the gameplay improvements! It’s going to be interesting how these games match up against each other and if people end up liking EA more than 2K23, it’s a make or break for PGA 2K’s next game that comes out!
Since I have game pass ultimate, I will certainly try out the EA PGA 10 hour trial to see how it matches up to see if it’s worth getting when it comes out or possibly wait about a year or 2 after launch for it to come to game pass!

06.03.2023Who cares its competition… Winner is the user… ( maybe) … But I think PGA 2K23 wins at 1st.. one course builder 2. Can play on Ps4 and X box 2… EA Golf only on next Gen…
Declan F
06.03.2023Rory Mcilroy PGA tour was bad and it still is way batter than anything 2k has put out
James Culverhouse
06.03.2023Really looking forward to EA's entry. I have played 2K's effort a lot, but I'm really looking forward to playing in more realistic scenery. I agree with you Kilbride, I'm praying that the microtransactions are cosmetic only.
Anthony Torres
06.03.20232k needs some sort of season rewards for their ranked system right now it's a little plain but a great base.

05.03.2023Which 1 has the blood money sportswashing LIV golf ruining everything in it.
Roboknowits
05.03.2023I’m very excited for the golf games, playing video game golf makes me wanna play real golf
ゆみす魔王
05.03.2023Did you hear of 2k's announcers during 21 and 23? Yeah that's still one of the worst parts about 2k that only got improved in PGA Season for 23 to my knowledge. EA never had that problem.
Michael Lamb
05.03.2023only way they could pull off ultimate team is if they added all of korn ferry, pga & european and to fill the hole of quantity, add variants by month and per like major also add clubs balls etc
James Earl
05.03.2023Absolutely nuts that there are two AAA golf games to play in 2023.
Shawn
05.03.2023Is there Cross Dress play?
Nev Van Clarke
05.03.2023EA will destroy 2K within 2 weeks …2K graphics are terrible
DUK3Z1LL4
05.03.20232k23 career mode is kind of bland but enjoyable… I haven't played an EA golf game since Tiger Woods 05 a classic that one! So I'm excited for the 23rd I've already preorderd can't wait!
Steve McLean
05.03.2023No doubt EA will dominate at the outset, but if they lag too long in bringing in additional courses, I think it may grow somewhat stale. They could absolutely CRUSH 2K if they brought in a course design feature, but this seems incredibly unlikely. I've played 2K in it's various forms for about 3 years & thoroughly enjoy it, especially the course design ability & the society play feature (which is riddled with bugs), but I will definitely give EA a try. Looking forward to making my own comaparisons/contrasts!
NoSh1tSherlock
05.03.2023But will online play shot vs shot? Or it is still lines on the screen
Jack Knowles
03.03.2023I just hope EA's simulation difficulty is as punishing as 2K's. I think the set dressing will be much better, and if they can just match that gameplay then they'll get the hardcore players on-side too.
It's genuinely so satisfying to go under par on the full sim level in 2K. I feel an actual sense of accomplishment for say, getting top 10s in events. My proudest steam achievement, and the one I worked hardest for, is genuinely the 'shoot level par or better on Legend difficulty' from 2k21.
That level of difficulty creates so so much replay value.
Welsh Walsh
03.03.2023"Most important thing is cross play!"
What the fuck is cross play?
9 Outs
03.03.2023Without course design, they will never have enough courses available to play.
Chris Gerber
03.03.2023Would love for a next gen game to be able to play on a simulator like flightscope or GC quad. That said there's probably only a handful of a market for it
805 Hunter
03.03.2023I bought 2k last year and I was bored after week. I pre-ordered EA and I really hope it's like TWs 2004. Greatest golf game ever.
M Gene
03.03.2023I have 2k enjoyed it, but I’m thinking I’ll enjoy ea more
AndyMan
03.03.2023i have all the HB and EA golf games and i haven't touched any of them since i got Golf+VR i'm simply not interested in EA's offering at all.
Cameron Clark
03.03.2023I say the thing ea lacks is pro golfers that you can play with. 2k has a much bigger roster of players. Wish ea had a bigger list I just like playing with the pros
michael ellams
03.03.2023Already own 2k golf which is awesome and so will be getting EA golf as well I can't play real golf anymore so virtual golf suffices for me now.

03.03.2023Ive pre ordered EA looking to it
Antonios Gougoulas
02.03.20232k has been absolutely garbage and they released it with so many bugs it's been ridiculous!! It literally took these bums 6 months to add ranked games and now it's gone due to mistakes on the leaderboards!! 2k is absolutely trash!!
Suh Dud
02.03.2023Still my favorite golf title is Tiger Woods PGA tour 2005. The commentary, the in-flight spin control and most epic part which was when you nail the timing on a tee shot to have the slow-mo banger send you on your way.
Ive bought plenty of golfing titles between then and now but I still keep going back to 2005.
gaz miller
02.03.2023Do we know what golfers r gonna b in ea version
Tim Bourgault
02.03.2023Playing 2k now…very enjoyable and a good challenge, I have read that EA will NOT be available on XboxOne, if so I think that is a HUGE fail on EA's side.
Cameron Smith
02.03.2023Pga 2k will be better mark my words.
Chris G
02.03.2023The option for Arcade style has me sold!! I miss the old Tiger games… Not a fan of 2K golf.
LaBorne2Bwild
02.03.2023When I saw that 2k runs on unity engine I knew the graphics were gonna be poor.
Wally17
02.03.2023I swear EA better not screw this up with micro-transactions. I can really see them doing that and it’s going to make me mad if they do. I’ve been waiting since Tiger Woods PGA Tour ‘14 for another great golf game. Rory McIlroy PGA Tour was a huge letdown and downgrade for the series.
The latest game I have is The Golf Club 2019 because I got it through Games With Gold on Xbox. I didn’t bother with the 2K games because they just come off as reskinned lazy cash grabs to me, especially when PGA Tour ‘14 does a pretty good job rivaling them in the visuals department.
Chaz Hansen
02.03.2023Really hope ea or 2k offers it for golf sim lms
