I don't understand the roll out on the greens. No matter what shot type I hit, at what distance, with what club....the ball will NOT stop on the green. It'll bounce and roll out 30 or 40 feet. This would be understandable with a wood or long iron, but on every approach. It's unplayable. I really like the gsmeplay but this is not fun or challenging. It's just impossible to play any kind of strategy because the ball is going off green no matter what. It needs to be toned down. It's almost as if it's bugged.

Glad I'm not the only one then, the game is so bloody frustrating, they had a great blueprint in Tiger Woods and they bring out this tripe, was so looking forward to this but I'm so so bitterly disappointed.Ball control on any level is non-existent and I'm forever overshooting the greens no matter what club I use. When a shot was below sea level I would always under-club by 1 or 2 clubs and if above normally club up or just hit a bit harder but this has no effect whatsoever, I'm at a complete loss right now.The wind also either has an effect when it feels like it. I had 2 shots with 5 mph dead right so I adjusted for that and the first shot went left with no effect and the other went so far right it was like a gale was blowing.EA sort this out please, you got something good here but could quite easily become the worst

The roll mechanic is absolutely broken. I had a flop * roll for 40 ft right off the green, the fringe and another 10 feet in the first cut. Impossible. Had another ball roll for 30 ft in deep rough. Again, impossible. Waste of $70 if this is how it's gonna be. Would've stayed with 2K had I known.

Omg same here not only the ball rolling but if u love tap it and make the ball land short and roll in on the green it never stops. And on rare occasions when u hit it somewhat close it back rolls 10 feet or more away from the hole without spin. If you land short it rolls 10 miles away. Flop shot is the only way to go but even then the putting isn't easy. I had one say zero movement straight line zero break at all. Perfect on perfect and it went left. Then when u get to the master in career they put u on hole 12 +2 with only 6 holes to get a chance to get a lead. Next day the put u at hole 4 and have u back at +2 The wind also is broken i had a drive say 14 feet wind left i aim right so the wind pulls it left and of course no wind at all I go in the woods. Then I said to myself ok maybe there is no wind so next time 4 wind blowing left I aim slight for it it blows it like a category 5 hurricane just happen. This game made me so frustrated and I don't wanna give up on it but knowing ea and its history it probably won't even get easier. The swing is always either late or underswing if perfect it doesn't make a difference. Also they let u choose your caddy and golf bag u never see your golf bag or caddy ever in the game so why tf tell me I can buy this * if it has no use.

Shot type doesn't matter. Approach, knockdown, finesse all do it. Even spinning does but a little less. It's any club from any distance. If I do quick play it's fine, feels normal, but in career mode it's stupid.

Basically what they've done is make your character completely useless & even leveling up makes no real significant difference, the only way to gain any kind of control of the ball (& it still feels somewhat limited) is to either play the game in KID'S Mode (turning on in-flight spin control) or through buying SPECS from the in-game store, however, the Specs available in the store are limited (like the entire store in general) I don't know if & when it updates & the price for these Specs is extremely overpriced (between 4k for Uncommon & 15k for Legendary or even 18k for Legendary Pro Specs) so you could be waiting a long time for the store to update with the Spec you want (which is ridiculous) or typically you'll earn the money to buy the one you want only to find out the stores updated & it's now not available, tbh the store is pathetic & I really don't understand whys it's so limited, but then the Private Online Mode is restricted to Stroke Play only & it's not even turn based like the old games used to be so doesn't even really feel like you're playing with your friends online, the whole games kind of a disappointment, if I hadn't have preordained the digital version I'd be selling the disc & going back to 2K23 & hoping they've finally fixed the Stutter Putter issue...

What shot type are you using and what lofted club are you using? Try a flop shot or a spinner shot or a half swing chip shot.

@rifebrandonsYou can't spin the ball so good as newbie, you have to update your clubs to "Gold" and update your player skills first.

Try spinner, flop and high flop or when you are in the bunker go for a pick shot.

Just hit the front of a green with an 7 iron. It rolled 20 yards uphill across the entire green and then 20 more yards through the rough.
Funnier a had similiar shot on another hole and it rolled against someone's shoe and kept bouncing back off their shoe and going forward and hitting their shoe again. This repeated four times before they moved and the ball kept rolling and hitting other peoples shoes.
