I guess EA could fix it to accommodate your play style.  When we all hit quick putt, the ball shall always go automatically in the hole. If the ball doesn't go automatically in the hole, it's EA's fault and they have to fix it so it shall always go automatically in the hole.

You made a great point here. The comment just sums up all the posts they made. When they hit the putt too hard and use quick putt, they blame EA, the wind, Evian, the other players who scored better, and possibly their dog or cat except for themself. I get surprised when they contradict themself after another gamer has a similar issue.. I think they are expecting an easy button from the Staples Center to put them on top of the leaderboard. 

All that video shows is the game interpolating between two ball positions. Had you let that putt actually play out in real time you'd have seen it lip round the back edge of the cup.

@PalomaMarvel24you seriously do NOT understand whats going on, watch that video again in slow-mo and youll see the ball tracking towards the hole then kicking away id say 2 feet from hole, this is as obvious as this can get

I never used Quick Putt. Maybe the animation would show correct trajectory if you let the putt go on without Quick Putt. Quick putt probably has some weird trajectory animations. Try to turn off quick putt and see what the trajectory is. If there is still an issue, it is better to make a bug report/technical issues with video instead of another rage post.

everyone of you that says this doesnt happen to you, go play 100ish holes, quick putt EVERYTHING and youll see this happen to you as well, its a bug, its ALWAYS been a bug

The point you're conveniently ignoring is that you're seeing the game engine trying to smooth a sudden jump between two ball positions by skipping to the end of the shot. You are not seeing the physics simulation. You are not seeing where the ball actually went or what happened to it. 

What we do know is that the ball was never going in the hole, because the physics simulation - which determined the outcome almost instantly - evidently does not end with the ball in the hole. Anything else is conjecture.

But I'll entertain your misunderstanding about how games work. If this feature is broken (or deliberately rigged against you personally), then why don't you just stop using it. Think of the satisfaction of actually making more putts and all it costs you is an extra 3 seconds of time.

@lolwhat1234i putt like this 95% of the time, and probably 98% of the time the ball goes where its supposed to go, you have no idea because you dont "have" it happen to you, seriously, play 100-ish holes (different courses would be best) and watch what happens when you do just what i do.....

im NOT going to change the way i play because -EA- cant fix this

If it's a bug, why would we used quick putt/skip shot if we don't have to? The game is working just fine for the rest of us without using quick putt. Hitting or not hitting quick putt, you hit that putt too hard and it just wasn't going to go in.

You can save yourself the effort, we've already told you exactly why it happens.

@lolwhat1234you have NO clue "why this happens"
its something that -EA- is doing, because this can and will happen on ANY hole ANYTIME from ANY distance

I've even had putts from off the green do exactly the same thing

Most of us are coming to the conclusion that quick putt should not be used. They are still not getting it. It reminds me of NBA 2K gamers who constantly makes Shaq or Michael Jordan attempt three pointers like Steph Curry but complains game is broken because they can’t make those shots. Using quick putt has that weird animation that would resemble Shaq bricking the three.

Read this post again. I can even put it in big letters for you if it helps.

The game engine is doing what every other game engine does. You're seeing a quirk of animation resulting from you skipping to the end of the putt, and thus assuming the last few frames of rendered ball motion were an accurate reflection of the underlying physics simulation. But it's not and everyone else knows that. Apologies if some of these words are too long for you.

since -everyone- else doesn't have the issue I do here, and instead of trying to looking into this, its nothing but excuses in return

EA could look into it and eliminate quick putt/skip shot in the game, that would solve your problem.

That would be a great solution. At least we would see a reduction in rage posts about losing strokes if that gets implemented. That would totally be a different stroke.

I stopped skip putt a few hours into the game. Same with auto putt once you see them miss. It's odd to continue with either.

I had one today at the LA CC having the same result as the first video. The putt hit the right edge of the cup, ball lip out around it and end up in the same position on the left side of the hole as in the video.

@PalomaMarvel24The thing is fast/skip putting only saves a couple seconds anyway if it's broken for you why bother using it? I use it all the time with no problems.

I actually don’t use it and I am not the one with the complaint. I think @Katybee_1313 made a response to the complaint from the OP and provided a solution on their complaint. I agree with her solution.
