Putting Ruined in Update 3.0

@SneaklerI agree with you here

I’m happy with the lip outs they just need to fix this 1 issue where it randomly goes over the hole sometimes

Yes and hopefully sooner than later.

Putting is broken since last patch.  It’s just not good… it doesn’t have a flow to it.  Hard to read greens and certain courses are just unbearable to play.

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.

@agentputtall 3 of your putts are definite misses post update. you hit em too hard. time to play softer and more break and they will lip in

Well they didn't go in, so yes they are misses post update so I can't argue with you there.

But the issue is that those are roll-over the cup with zero lip out or in.

Been being way less aggressive since the update and doing fine but yeah, I don't think those shots he shared should be not even reacting to there being a hole in the ground.

If a putt stops rolling on grass for a moment usually gravity takes over and if you want to argue that those should have hit the back rim of the cup and popped up or out then sure but those clips show a clear example of the ball having zero ground beneath it and rolling as if that isn't the case...do you disagree?

We are clear about the current meta/solution of having to play softer and more break and all there is no debate on that.

I don't think they have the animations for cup physics yet. the 1st one probably should have lipped 90 degrees to the left. The 2nd one I don't even know if it hit the hole at all. and the 3rd should probably hit the back lip and pop up into the air and keep going.

So because some players can’t hammer the putts home anymore, it’s broken ?  

because now you have to actually read the green beads and adjust the speed of the ball, it’s broken ?

Putting is fine with the update in my opinion.  Is it perfect ? No, but it’s better than before 100%

people complain because they now have to adjust and learn what should be and is the hardest part of a golf game, putting.  

in my opinion even the putting line assist should be completely removed from the game too

So I agree that in some instances that putts may have been hit too hard

However the cup physics in my videos just seem completely wrong

Especially in 2 out of 3 they look like they went OVER the hole 

I love the lip outs fyi and I accept in some instances I’ll miss putts now I’ll have made previously 

What I don’t accept is bad cup physics 

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.
