Probably an "old news" comment, but I bopught Masters about 7 weeks ago. Made some quick improvement to my playing, bit putting was always challenging, particularly long ones. Became better at reading greens, and then began experiencing a HUGE change in the ability to putt over 14 yards or 11 if any uphill grade. This is whacking the ball full swing. Now I end up using a wedge 50% of the time , on the putting green. What the heck?? Any fixes??

I have always struggled with the way the greens played, because it doesn't make sense in my mind. They play far too slow... but I was able to work controlling distance to where I could consistently lag to inside a couple of feet. The slope meter that gives you a sideview of the putt will provide you a lot of information to what you can expect the ball to do. You just need to interpolate it over the distance of your putt.
As bad as I think the putting is... for me it is even worse when you are hitting severe uphill putts. Even though I know the math EA is using I find it hard to hit my uphill putts that hard. This is truly an arcade game at heart.

Thats probably because you are use to playing on greens made of ice in 2k23 and holding down fast forward and watching your ball launch into the flagstick....lmao... The physics in EA's game are just so much more realistic. Or at least make sense within its own environment. I mean jeez...2k23 is so far behind EA when it comes to graphics/physics.
