cheating already

[-Roasted-]

-21 thru 16 holes? not a chance... I don't care who you think you these scores will NEVER happen... it's pretty disgusting that people NEED to cheat to win, and this game isn't even "released" yet

these "Kronus adapters" need to be imputed at as a cheat device in this game, if you use it, you get ban, just like this game NEEDS an anti-cheat in it

It's Cronus Zen users and their scrips. Non detectable even with anti-cheats.

they will get bored, or get thier steam accomplishments and then you will never see them again untill next version

i agree -20 per round is almost impossible- especially the way these guys who stream dont even take much time getting the shot distance and angle set- up hill side hill down hill-wind- where the ball lands for the bounce will make a ton of difference each shot. i didnt know there was a cheat program (is it for game controllers or does it just over ride the program data?) either way-- Im sure there will be enough players who dont cheat -that will be available for online play- best ball/4 ball etc.. thats what im looking forward to/
btw- gamer ability was the only streamer that made some mistakes-the other guys are just d bags if theyre cheating.
edit: i can tell you -someone who is good at putting will always be able to save the round from a disaster

it can be -IF- gaming companies look into it enough, and it NEEDS to happen, its ruining games
if i had to guess right now the percentage of people CHEATING in pga 2k25, id say its close to 30% or even more. (i read something about a poll where something like 60% of people who play online games, CHEAT!) so 30% im being generous and this game isnt even technically "released" yet

These scores are possible in the pro mode. I played a tourney 2 years ago with the 3-click swing and shot -76 thru 4 days at sawgrass. I only played with the 3-click to stay competitive in tourneys. glad they locked down tourneys to the swing stick as I much prefer the harder challenge.

Just finished today's Pro Mode 4 Round Tournament. I was +54 after my 72 holes which was a really struggle. The leading score on the board before I quit the game was -65. Absolutely ridiculous. No chance any scores like that being genuine.

Such a shame that multiplayer is completely ruined these days with all the cheaters.

Its possible when you play on easy and played only 2 or 4 holes from 18 and the other where simulated.

Before I find out how I can fix my settings I reached in a tournier also -18 and I played only 4 holes (2 of them with birdies). But i make the settings and delete gamer and reset the complete carreer and started new.

this game is so broken. i can swing my swing analog LEFT TO RIGHT and it still hits the fairway, wind does nothing to the ball, lie does nothing to the ball flight, up hill down hill has no effect on the distance. ive gone -15 basically playing blindfolded. cant even miss the fairway or green if i tried. this game is trash

on master

nobody is cheating this game is just THAT EASY

A couple things, i do agree cheaters are playing the game but also there are quit a few really really good players, a lot of them streamers and many of them got the game 1 week earlier then the early release but couldn't upload anything until last thursday. they have many hours in now and have maxed out the my player and some of them multiple my players. also yesterdays ranked daily's were played from the red tee's so very easy for the great players, many more eagles can be made. Also when you watch most of the streamers the video's are edited for time so it looks like they shoot way faster then they sometimes do. (not all but a lot do). Having said all this i agree that cheaters are out there and shooting -20 per round from the back tee's is crazy makes even playing the tournaments a waste of time for me so i just don't do them, or i do for just the quests.

That's why I don't play any competitive games and NEVER look at leaderboards for anything. Leaderboards are stacked in a way that 99% of the time it has nothing to do with skill but more of a sum of a specific number. For example, #1 in world in another sport (lets say hockey, basketball, soccer) would be the total sum of their goals, not points per game. Realistically points per game would be a more accurate stat than just goals. There's cheating in every game, especially competitive ones, like football or CoD. Don't worry about it, those people don't get very far in life. They're so used to paying to win that when they get out into the real world they are so accustomed to it that they can't handle real life pressures and quit their jobs over and over again. The thought of negativity destroys them, eating them on the inside. So.. just focus on YOUR score, you set your own personal goals in golf and celebrate when you hit them.

The game is released. "Advanced Access" is a con for suckers.
