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...

Close to 10 lip outs yesterday and a guy we play with had like 10 or so in the 2 rounds he played. Every few minutes he’s like, oh another lip out.
Also, again…a few perfectly set up putts just blowing by at +0.1 over-swing and a few perfect/perfects. I’m telling you, it’s a variable miss-hit factor added to the putting code.
I would hope a dev could comment on exactly what was tweaked.
- @JGWentworths There’s definitely something not right
@JGWentworthsI mean overswing % doesn't necessarily mean you've set the marker in the correct spot tbh. Nor does perfect/perfect. That only comes into it if you have perfectly set the power (marker). If it's blowing by the hole, that suggests you've set the marker too far and if that pace is what you always hit, if the ball is hitting the edge of the cup, it's going to lip out rather than lip in.

My placement isn’t the issue. I know what Im doing. The only thing that’s stopping me from dropping 10/10 putts is the under/over swing mechanic.
I agree with the OP that the cup physics are not right but in saying thst they were not right before they "quote" fixed it.
It seems like they went a little overboard to prove that the game now has lip outs.
The new camera angle following the ball to the hole is a nice touch, but it too in my opinion is a bit flawed. To me camera is a little late behind the action and you don't get a good look at the ball arriving at the hole. The angle should be a bit higher, and as I said zoomed in sooner.
I haven't tested the cup physics yet, but prior to the update I could set the distance to 25 feet for a 6 foot putt and it would go in. I could set it substantially higher and have it pop up and sit 6 inches on the otherside of the cup.
The update is better, but far from perfect.
I think the way the lip has been “adjusted” still needs a bit of refinement. First day of the patch in an hour or so doing some challenges and other stuff with an AI player, both of us had 4 or 5 balls perched right on the lip, but not going in.
- @Neil_RS60 After a few more days I am getting used to the speed of the putting but there is definitely some refinement required
