Do Lies Have Any Effect On The Ball?

Seems like sidehill lies have ZERO effect on the ball? Maybe someone can chime in from EA on this to confirm whey there aren't any?

    I play in Pro mode and it does seem like it works. Sometimes I would find shots would go in a direction I didn't expect after taking wind etc into account. Then I saw a YouTube video that talks about it. (see below). The game does tell you if the ball is above or below your feet when taking a shot and that will tell you if you can expect the ball the draw or fade. Considering this information along with everything else now, I'm finding the ball doesn't go too far from what I'm expecting. If it does, my swing wasn't great. Now If I could just read putts better lol!


    In Pro mode I've been trying to figure out if the indicated ball flight factors in the lie angle, or if it's just wind. I think the line factors everything in?

    I too was curious if the indicated ball flight on pitches and chips indicated lie angle.  It seems less likely it does on full approach shots, but I could be wrong.  Actually you might be right.

    Lie Affect in in the On position. 

    I am currently playing the Evian tournament in career mode and the lie affect is not that severe. Some of the fairways on this course are very pitched both left and right, but the affect on the ball is not affected by as much as the fairway pitches. My first approach I aimed pretty far right of the green, my stick was pure and the ball went pretty straight, maybe a bit left to the green, but no where close as the fairway pitch should have moved the ball.

    This needs to be reviewed by EA. 

    Thanks!

    I want to correct t my first sentence. 

    The fairways at this course are pitched severely. 

    Thanks!
