Putting Ruined in Update 3.0
Guys please, revert. This update on putting is terrible. Additionally, the lip-outs are terrible. I've got 100 matches under my belt on this IP to learn the game and just getting a handle on it. I've...

The lip outs are clearly broken despite it being a new toy for you or not. You’re probably one of these tour or sim elite neck-beards crying to make it harder for everyone anyway and ruining the game for others in the process. Am I wrong?
I’ve been playing Tiger since 2006, I’m an expert on this topic. Its’s not a matter of taste, but of functionality.
Additionally, the ball logic on putting has been broken on this update. I bet it has something to do with the new code for lip outs.
EA, please revert whatever you did. Putting simply is not as it was before the 3.0 update.
I think it would be so much more helpful if you could elaborate on what is actually wrong rather than just saying it's broken. How are the lip outs broken? How is the putting broken? Otherwise your comments could just be construed as just disliking the mechanics.
The putting update is spot on; putting was way to easy before as it barely took into account speed as you could plow the ball and it would get vaccumed into the hole...now speed counts
I agree with some others, putting is spot on now. No more brute forcing a putt to the back of the cup to have it just go in. Now it takes the skill to make putts. Love the new lip outs, there have been some putts I never should have made the past, now when they happen, the lip out is realistic. Had some 360 lip-ins, just a lot more exciting now.
- @xGBx_Boogie Ditto
- @jack2k65 Are you mental? The speed of putting was a huge factor before the update lol WTH.
- @JGWentworths Easy with the name calling; speed was not a major factor before patch as explained in more than one post here as you could easily plow through breaks...now, you can really get penalized if you take that approach. Of course speed was in play as to either get to the hole uphill or blowing it past on a downhill, but that obviously was not my point.
Ok, so like shots that would normally go in are now lipping out and- quite frequently. The frequently is very high. There is no way to adjust the putt better on a human level it seems and is happening to all of us in our club, not just me personally. The mechanic is just adding another hurdle to make better players miss putts more. Other games have done this in the past to even the playing field with skilled players making them much more pedestrian.
Additionally, other putts that are over-swings play out like under-swings and vice versa.
Other things are like we’re dialing back on how we line up our putts, instead of x amount of d-pad clicks left or right, those are reduced and the hits are more inconsistent than they were before. It looks like there is a “miss-hit” factor added to how the ball behaves during putting.
Also, Perfect/Perfect shots are literally not and passing the hole when adjusted properly before hand.
Some other things are harder to describe atm, I’ll update this thread as it becomes more clear.
I’m playing Pro settings btw.

How do you know they were adjusted accurately before hand? Also the swing plan matters even for perfect/perfect hits.
I'm seeing more lip-outs and lip-ins than before but putting doesn't feel remotely broken to me in its current state.
@Ultrasonic_77Because I am elite player from years past and the system I’ve been using for 125 rounds plus loads of challenges in this IP is working and consistent. If one does the math, I’ve putted at least 2,500x. Maybe ~3,000 and up.
That number would be meaningless if I had no experience from 2006-2014 in TW, but that is not the case. My h2h record in years past, on an average looked something like ~150-15 and up.
