I'm not sure why it has become an us against them debate. Like I said I think everyone would like to see putts that catch an edge would lip out. Rather than having the ball go in or not.
As far as the sim players... If I was going to speak for them... all they want is some additional choices for green speeds. Having faster greens would easily make the game more challenging for those who needed it. And for everyone else they can just use the default settings.
But the hole physics have always been broken, it's just even worse now. EA is the ones you need to complain about not those advocating to make the game better.
Going back to memory lane, I read a bug report that was a catalyst for the Notorious Update 3. There was a mention of updating the cup physics. However, there was no mention of allowing other players using default settings. That change was forced on players who did not want it.
The bug report is shown below.
What happens when the bug occurs? The ball goes in the hole.
What do you expect to see? The ball would roll over the hole like it was not there.
OMG, OMG, OMG! It was him or her all along for that stupid update. Simmer breaking the game worse than it was as usual.

So you think it is realistic to hit a putt from a foot with 25 feet of speed and expect it to go in?
EA is the one who implemented the change... people just point out the shortcomings. EA decides what they want to change, and how they implement it.
Obviously even EA believed it was an issue otherwise they wouldn't have done it. The issue is they did a poor job of fixing it.
Ok. So the image I posted was a 4 ft tap in. 0.1 above. The ball literally sat on top of the center of the cup. The animation showed it. Then it switched to a tap in. My particular shot was not from 25 feet. Every putt is not a lip out in real life. I have to agree that after an update, and I can’t remember which one, people are saying 3, every close putt became a lip out. Or began ricocheting off the cup. Or “toilet” ring the cup. Or hanging up in front of the cup. Or confusingly and mysteriously floating in the center of the cup and leaving a tap in.
