@Ultrasonic_77For context on my vids, let me explain.

1st one) The grid shows left to right slightly. Where the hole is located the grid line before it is barely moving, the line after the hole is moving a bit faster though. No problem. Forgive me if I'm animated about this but...THE DAMN BALL MOVED AT A 45 DEGREE ANGLE 2 INCHES BEFORE THE HOLE!!! I mean seriously? No excuse for that dynamic...none.

I've just looked at this first one again for now as I do have other things to do. What the ball roll is trying to simulate is how the gradient has more effect as the ball slows down. It could certainly be a bit smoother in how it handles this in your example but if that happened to me on a shot it isn't something I'd be getting annoyed about. Note that you under-hit the shot by 1.2% vs how you aimed, and the ball would have moved off less if you hadn't as the ball would have been travelling faster closer to the hole. It may even have gone in if you'd hit the power you intended. If I'd hit that shot myself I'd be thinking I slightly under-read it but mostly under-hit it.

Hahaha...you don't necessarily have to respond. Believe me, I wouldn't hold it against you. I wouldn't let this convo keep me from doing whatever I needed to.

 

Although your explanation has me just shaking my head...I mean, wow. I believe we are the same age if the 77 represents the year you were born. As 2 individuals in their 40s, we should be able to look at things as they are...not get down to the microcosm of the putt in a video game.

 

This..."if that happened to me on a shot it isn't something I'd be getting annoyed about."...is a personal feeling. That's cool. You basically admitted it could be smoother. I've played golf over 20years...no ball takes an immediate 45 degree angle 2 inches before the cup. It would take a couple inches to physically make that move in reality. It may be a video game but EA's own hype video claims fantastic ball physics.

 

THEN you said..."Note that you under-hit the shot by 1.2% vs how you aimed, and the ball would have moved off less if you hadn't as the ball would have been travelling faster closer to the hole."...WELL, you may want to re-watch. There was virtually ZERO movement in the green UNTIL after the hole..that's first thing. Secondly, I didn't under hit by 1.2% as you said, it was an OVERSWING by 1.1%. Which means I would have hit THROUGH any break...oh, you like to mention ball lie quite a bit, it was ABOVE. All of these factors lead to going through the break. Also, the swing was a tad fast as well, which you never mentioned so let's not use that as an excuse now. Where is the under-hit coming from you mentioned?

 

I won't lie, I do get a tad frustrated by your responses to an extent. I've mentioned, you provide various "reasons"/"explanations"...but none have really refuted or disproved what I have experienced. I'm open to corrections that would make gameplay better. However, I showed 4 examples where there are obscurities...and the outcome is essentially no, no, you did something wrong or it's a game nothings perfect!

 

So forgive me if my responses are a bit terse but it feels like there is ALWAYS something wrong with the player...even with vids.  My explanations are concise...in fact I write reports for a living where sometimes people's freedoms depend upon them. Not saying I'm not wrong about video games, but I usually EXPLAIN concisely.
