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 played Amateur and Pro settings on TW since 2006, I'm not a new player.
We’re calling the roll-overs, man hole covers now. It’s so bad it’s got it’s own name lol.
I just want to revive this post since this is the one that mentions about how update 3.0 messed up the putting. Too bad this issue has not been fixed since. This posts also shows a great divide of who is for the change and who is against the change. This was the update that eventually resulted me of no longer wanting to play game.

@PalomaMarvel24Can’t believe that this is still an issue since June!
Crazy!
That’s 6 months since the Notorious Update 3 played the Simmer’s Paradise music. The Arcaders were playing the song “Laid Back” before the Notorious Update 3 broke the putting.

@PalomaMarvel24Had a putt roll over the hole last night in a crucial semi final on our discord tournament
Lucky enough it didn’t hurt the match result
I keep saving the clips for when this happens. It still rare. When I get to around 5 I’ll post them on this thread
Another victim of the Elf's Manhole Cover update. ☹️

It’s gotten really bad. When I last played in August, I remembered the putt rolling over the hole and going past the green in Cardi Creek (aka Wolf Creek); this one actually hurt the results. I went to GameStop and traded current game for Madden 24 the next day. At that time, it was time to say No Mas.
I hope EA can make hot fixes or a big update after seeing your clips. It was so bad the putting got ruined by a single Bug Report from a Simmer.

It’s strange that the Simmer has blamed EA for the change even though he/she wrote the bug report. I found out another means of getting in-game issues changed and it is going to help.ea.com; this is anonymous and post is not visible. I tried this yesterday for UFC 5 when I purchased store contents and they remained locked; the issue got fixed the same day. I am betting that the Simmer also used help.ea.com at his disposal to get the update. I don’t think EA will make any changes unless it gets pointed out by someone.
Update 9 incorporated a request multiple simmers made to nerf flop/pick/finesse shots from a thread in August; I saw no bug reports. Another request by simmers from different thread in August was to make the rough and bunkers more penal. Luckily it has not happened yet. Arcaders might need to fasten their seatbelts like in “Fast and the Furious” if another simmer requested update shows up.

I love how you like to point fingers. I am pretty sure I complained about the current putting physics as much as anyone, and I doubt I have any leverage over EA. If I did this would be one of the smallest changes in the game.
How about we just agree that the putting physics have never been right, and that they only made it worse trying to address it?
And let's be honest... this was advertised as a full on simulation. So if anyone has a right to complain it would be the simmers over the simcade players. It's the simcade players that got closer to what they want than the sim crowd.
Yet as the adults in the room the simmers address an issue by explaining what they believe to be an issue and offering a possible solution. Rather than blaming someone who has no influence on the process. And are not personal attacks something you can be banned for on this forum?
But my contention has always been they could have catered to both by just adding some additional settings to the game, the ability to turn off a few features, adjust rough length that actually does something and add different green speeds. And to fix a few core components... namely RNG, ball and cup physics.
Ultimately it is EA who decides what they want to address and how they want to address it. And if it is working the way they want it.
NO ONE BUT EA, thinks that the current putting model is acceptable.

OMG so condescending. It says a lot about simmers on their high horses, and what they think of the rest of us as poor second class customers. ☹️
