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...

Here's an example I had playing last night, where I think it's reasonable that the putt didn't go in but the animation doesn't look great. The ball looks kind of like it bounces left off the side of the cup whereas I think it would have looked more realistic if it bent round to the right a bit but still missed.

Honestly, I disagree with that 1. I zoomed in to the cup as the ball got to it and that speed and where it hit the cup (just left of centre not even right on the outer edge), that should have dropped. That is broken there IMO.
I don't get what is there making it look like it's hitting something knocking it left. Like an invisible flag stick.
- @martbloke I think it's right on the cusp and I could be persuaded either way but if real time it had just deviated a bit right but not dropped I don't think I'd have thought anything of it other than that I didn't get the shot right. It's the obviously unrealistic move to the left that jarred for me, like you.
Hmmmm I think the putting since the patch has been improved in the sense you now have to read greens and control the speed. It’s how it should be and I’ve already commented on that.
I’ve also said it’s not perfect, and I do recognize there is a few instances that leave you scratching your head
go into challenges and select the open championship for long putts. The final putt is of Ian poulter using a Texas wedge. I found the correct speed is of around 205ft to the hole, yet around 2ft before the cup, you can clearly see an invisible object nudge it right or left so it misses. I’ve tried 200ft, 210ft, 215ft and it’s consistent that something is knocking it off course.
after you’ve hit the putt, use your analog stick and follow the ball from behind…. You can clearly see the faint nudge.
