Trying to figure out putting in PGA Tour
Is it just me? Why can’t I for the life of me figure out the putting? I’ve been playing golf games for awhile now. EA golf, Tiger Woods golf, 2K sports golf. I get reading the green and figuring out ...

There's a putting challenge in the Tailormade section that is driving me crazy. I am not too terrible at putting, but that one is just crazy. The lines look simple and from not too far away but it just breaks in crazy ways that really aren't indicated. I am sure that one must be bugged or something.
Possibly we have some folks who, if they can't one-putt on every green, there must be something wrong. Not something wrong with their skills, but something wrong with the putting model.
I agree totally that it needs to be harder to hit a fairway off the tee, that lie effect needs to be tougher.
Back to putting, cup physics do need work (lipping in on the right side of the cup happens quite often, while on the left side the ball often seems to just go over the cup).
But as far as everything else goes with putting, I don't have a problem with it.

I’d agree the cup physics needs work. I’ve had it sit on the lip of the cup and today I had a putt where it looked like it did go right over the left edge of the cup. I’m with you, some people think if they don’t birdie every hole the game is broken. I knew my golfer and putting needed to be built up. I’d love to get eagles and birdies but to finally be getting the putts to at least give me par and keep me in the hunt, I’m happy with that progress.
