9.0 Putting
Ok, I like the idea of the grids becoming smaller with upgrades, although I don't think this update was the best approach in doing so. I don't think at the current max level of 60 there are enough sk...
Totally agree with OP on this 1, it costs WAY too many skill points to upgrade Putting
The only thing i disagree with is it solely impacting tour mode
Sometimes on Pro difficulty I completely ignore the putt line as some of the putt reads sometimes make zero sense. sometimes the putt read even misses the hole entirely

One of the first thing I disabled a long time ago, it's just confusing. And I can easily believe why some think greens are broken on some courses if they're using this putting line non-sense.
Valid point, putt lines are often wrong and lead you to a miss high or low, especially on some of the worse greens in this game like Evian. I would say that's just another thing in this game that is broken but ignored. EA should be focused on fixing things like this before making oddball changes like what they did with the putting grid.

I don't know this for a fact but I have always felt that the putt line was your caddie reading the line for you.
That as a player you used it as a guide rather than the defacto perfect line. And that as you added skill points, you got better reads.
As for me I never used it.
As for broken greens, I have never had issues with any of the courses. But then I don't use green grids. But has anyone considered the reason people think there is a problem is because the grids are not small enough to show double breaks within the grid?
The original grids I believe are 2 foot squares... it would not surprise me for the ball to break differently over that distance.
