The full release of the new PGA Tour 2K25 is just on the horizon, but many players have already gotten their hands on the game. How? Purchasing the Deluxe or Legend Edition of the game gives advance access. Anyway, if you are reading this guide, it is clear that you have encountered an issue in the game where the MyCareer mode doesn’t work. When you select it, the game just gets stuck on a loading screen. If that’s indeed the case, this is just the guide you need.
The history of 2K and its games filled with bugs goes a long way back. But this doesn’t mean that 2K doesn’t make good games. They do, and in fact, they are one of the most consistent studios that release certain games annually. Be it NBA games, 2K TopSpin, or 2K PGA Tour, players wait every year to get hold of the next 2K game. While most new iterations are a copy of the previous with new content, these games do quite well. Similarly, after the release of PGA Tour 2K23 back in 2022, this is the new game in the series, with the same old bugs. That said, you might be wondering whether there is a fix for it. More details on the same are shared below.

PGA Tour 2K25 MyCareer Mode Not Working Issue: Is there any fix yet
As of writing this guide, the game’s official full release has not yet gone live. So, reports of this issue are entirely from players who purchased the Deluxe and Legend editions to enjoy the advanced access. This also means that there isn’t any official fix or acknowledgment from the developers regarding the same. Maybe a fix will be released after the game goes live globally. Until then, here are some workarounds for you to try:
Restart
A basic yet very effective fix is to just restart the game and then your PC to access the MyCareer mode to check whether the same loading screen issue persists. While this seems simple, sometimes a restart is all you need to get rid of such issues. So, consider trying it out.
Verify Game Files
This issue can also be the result of corrupted game files affecting the access of in-game modes. So, to rule out this possibility, consider verifying the game files via Steam. To do this, launch Steam, go to Library, and then right-click on PGA Tour 2K25. Now, select Properties and then go to the Installed Files tab. Here, select the Verify Integrity of Game Files option. Once the scan is completed, launch the game to check whether the issue persists.
Wait for the full release
If you are reading this guide before 28 Feb 2025, then consider waiting for the game to go live globally, as it is possible that the developers will release a Day 1 to fix any/all prevailing issues that advanced access players have been complaining about. The issue with the MyCareer Mode in PGA Tour 2K25 isn’t new. It existed in the previous game as well. The developers did release an update to get rid of the problem so it is quite possible that if enough players report the issue, it will get their attention and hopefully an update will be released with a fix for PGA Tour 2K25 as well.
Check Internet connection
If the MyCareer mode fails to launch, try checking your internet connection. If your network connection is slow or unstable, then it might be the reason why the game is unable to load the MyCareer mode. Therefore, we recommend that you either switch to a wired connection or use a different network connection to check whether the issue persists. You can also try using a mobile hotspot to check whether it’s the home network’s fault.
Check Server Status
It is also possible that the PGA Tour 2K25 servers are down. So, you can visit the official 2K Server Status page of the game to check whether that’s indeed the case. If the servers are indeed down, wait until they are operational again, and then check whether the issue persists.
Switch Created Characters
If you are unable to access the MyCareer mode with your primary character, then consider creating a new one and then entering the mode. It is possible that the issue lies with the particular character creation that might be restricting the game from loading into the MyCareer mode. So, a simple character switch might be effective.
Reset Career
Let’s say you tried every workaround mentioned above but the issue didn’t go away. Well, then you will have to say goodbye to your MyCareer progress. What you’ll need to do is reset your in-game career. Some players did try the same and they have reported that doing so fixes the loading screen problem. But do note that resetting career doesn’t guarantee that the issue won’t occur again. You might have to continue doing so multiple times.
Reinstall
If the issue persists even after a full career reset, then consider reinstalling the game. This is the final workaround that we have for you to try. And, while installing the game again, make sure you are doing so on an SSD. These are faster drives and can improve game loading times significantly.
That said, these are the most effective workarounds for you to try and get rid of the MyCareer mode not working issue in PGA Tour 2K25. We will make sure to update this guide with more details and workarounds once they are made available.
