Putt Preview Bug

Product: EA SPORTS PGA TOUR
Platform:Xbox Series X
Summarize your bug 90% of all putt previews are on the extreme far side of the cup.
How often does the bug occur? Often (50% - 99%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Get some putt previews.
What happens when the bug occurs? The line is on the extreme side of the cup. This should be centered more.
What do you expect to see? A normal placement, not to the extreme corners.

90% of all putt previews are on the extreme far side of the cup...even a 1 footer.

  • What are 80% plus putt previews lead to the far side of the cup? I’ve literally had a PP going around the back of the hole.

  • @RodSirloinit sure is frustrating. I had my putting specs one spot off of max and it did give me better, more consistent preview lines, with less of that. But not perfect, still. (I have since lowered my stat a fair bit which is why I can notice the difference) 

    I noticed it more once they added the lip-in/outs and thought they want you to shoot for those lol

    My best advice for now is to use them as a guideline but also feel it out yourself a bit.

    Summarize your bug Putt previews are on the extreme outer edge of the cups…almost around the back side. This is extremely undesirable. Just played a career round at TPC Boston. Out of 18 putts, I had… 12 putt previews that bowed left and the the line went to the extreme left of the cup, or bowed right and the line went to the extreme right of the cup (terrible). 3 putt previews that bowed right and the line went to the extreme left of the cup, or bowed left and the line ended at the extreme right of the cup (ok). 3 putt previews that went to the exact middle of the cup (good). Please fix these terrible putt previews.

    1. 12 putt previews that bowed left and the the line went to the extreme left of the cup, or bowed right and the line went to the extreme right of the cup (terrible).

    Summarize your bug Yet more examples of the putting line broken - In my screenshot attached, you can clearly see why in certain circumstances, the putting line is not being rendered properly
    How often does the bug occur? Occasionally (10% - 49%)
    Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Getting onto the green enough times in a few hours of gameplay, especially greens with breaking to the left or right. I would say being around 5ft away from the cup and there being a sever break in either to the left or right is a good example in demonstrating how flawed the putting line can be. In my example in my screenshot I am 4 feet away from the cup on the 3rd hole of the Wolf Creek Course
    What happens when the bug occurs? The line arc doesn't suit reality in the slightest for certain putts. Please see the screenshot I have attached which shows one of the worst examples of this
    What do you expect to see? A putting line that resembles the ball motion, otherwise what is the point of the feature. This is a triple A game, I would expect as something basic as line geometry to be accurate

    Nothing more to add

  • I have raised a bug myself on this. I have attached a screenshot on what I encountered on the Wolf Creek Course.

    This putting line is still clearly broken. It's crazy to think they still haven't fixed this in patch 4.5 as of yet!

    Another example of how ridiculous this line can be.

    Granted it's a tough putt but, this is flawed.

    EA please fix this!

    This is that putt from a higher, better angle
