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...

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.

Particularly in the context of a discussion where the putting may have just changed slightly.
- @Ultrasonic_77 I does prove something and clearly. Due to my experience, I know what I’m looking at and the frequency of lip outs vs lip ins is exponentially higher. I’ve had maybe 1 lip in and 20 lip outs. To disagree is purely argumentative. I don’t mind a lip out, but the frequency is acutely disproportionate…facts.
To add when i lip out a putt left I don’t expect it to also lip out left that completely defies logic
To say this is accurate to real life is ludicrous
and to those who says you can’t ram putts now, how do you the Pro IRL putt?
I’ve pushed it down to arcade with 3 click…. Something is not right mate. Something in the code has changed. Can our game be adjusting to learn it? Probably in time… but it’s not right.
Putting is great now. Realistic. Complainers try to ruin the game
- @Ken38016220 It’s not realistic when the game should reflect a putts been hit too hard and goes “over the hole”
And if you even bothered to look back at my videos you’d realise that some of the putts I’ve shown I’d argue should have gone in
One putt I hit One FOOT too hard and it went over the hole

I'm not saying there isn't an issue but I do think this example is less clear-cut that you suggest.
The putting seems off to me on ps5 despite nearly maxing out my golfer on putting. I play solo rounds atm on St Andrews and Wetlands. The break line indicator is often misleading. If it indicates a break i have to give it extra break for it to have any chance of going in. Short putts i can get away with by hitting it firmer. Anything, say, over 10 feet its a bit of a lottery if the ball goes in or not as i have to give it more break than what the break line is telling me. I don't know if anyone else is having this issue or whether it's just me.
- @Ultrasonic_77 There is no way you can conceivably say that putting isn’t broken when I’ve posted so many videos that show that the putting is indeed broken
There is no way going “over the hole” should be normal
That is NOT how it works in real life- @agentputt @Ultrasonic_77
How can you say putting is broken when its not causing other users issues?. If putting was broken believe me i would be screaming for it to be fixed. I see about 1 dodgy lip out per 100 putts and it's usually when i've tried to add a bit of extra pace.
So why are some users having big issues?
Maybe its bugged in some way?
It seems to be users that use the putting line having the most problems. I don't know what it is but i cant say its broken for me, perfect no, but far from broken and better than before the update which is the point of the OP.- @72477d5641b0f60f I completely get that others haven’t had issues
But when people are posting videos showing it’s broken and some just randomly go over the hole then it definitely is broken
All you need to do is watch the previous videos in this thread
Unless of course you think it’s realistic that a ball just goes “over the hole”
This is up there with the worst I’ve ever seen
The really difficult greens/courses at Evian resort and chambers bay etc are redundant. Especially in any kind of challenging wind conditions.
Also, the communication that was promised has disappeared quicker roadrunner.
- @vanKlNG I just finished the tourney there and was about to delete the damn game. Lost at least four strokes due to 5-10 foot 'straight' putts that veer off to the side at the last second or that read as slightly breaking but then just go straight around the cup.
Can I fire my Caddie in this game cuz his elreads are horrible?
