putting is STILL broken, I "quick" putt most of the time when playing and the ball rolls right over the hole about 4-6 times per 18 holes. also, that "kick save and a beauty" still happens quite a lo...

@-Roasted513- I have to say, I have never seen anything like this happen when playing.
If you're quick-tapping the Y button after putting the ball, who's to say that a break didn't move the ball away from the hole? And if you're "quick-putting", how do you know the ball rolls over the hole at all, since it skips to the end of the shot altogether?
I'd simply suggest maybe not "quick-putting" and see what happens. I think putting has been much-improved following the patch a few updates ago that re-did cup physics. My only issues with putting now are the lousy greens at Torrey, Evian, and Wolf Creek.

No issue with putting either, I think EA did a great job when they adjusted cup physics. And like others, weird things happens to me on greens at Torrey, Wolf Creek et Evian.
- @Katybee_1313 I agree that putting is generally very good. I have no issues with putting on every course except Torry, Wolf, Evian and sometimes Top of the Rock. It's because those courses have bad lidar data or something and there are random humps, bumps and mounds right in the middle of lines that the grids don't pick up on. You can generally see them on worm cam, but predicting how the ball will react is a guessing game.
every course has some kind of issue with putting, just not as pronounced as others
I think the putting works fine. I have had very rare instances on Evian and Wolf Creek where the ball wobble did the very last inches of the putt and counter to the break but other than that, I think it works fine. You might try out your skills and playing that for a while. If you still find some of the same issues, then I think you would have more credence just an idea
Maybe if you hit it way too hard, the ball is going over the hole like the hole is not there.

I have to assume this is the OP's issue here. Once they re-did the cup physics in a previous patch, I have seen no issues with balls rolling over the hole or anything like that anymore. It was horrible before that patch, but putting is quite good now (save for the aforementioned 3 courses that have poor green surfacing).
It seems to be happening only to him, which is very strange.
I don't remember quick putt, but I remember auto-putt. If the ball is within 2 ft of the hole, the ball would go in 98% of the time. When I last played, the auto-putt would lip out if ball is between 2 to 3 ft from the hole. I don't remember the ball going over the hole with auto-putt. With the improved cup physics, I expect that to be fixed.
