Unexplained shot behaviour
Too many times the ball will travel in a direction that doesn't make any sense. For example, the wind is 7mph going left, I hit a centre perfect shot but the shot goes to the right of the aim arc, w...

This has been a constant issue since Update 3.0. This looks like Kylo Ren using his force freeze on the ball. This normally happens to me on Torrey Pines, LACC, Royal Liverpool, Oak Hills, Wolf Creek and Chambers Bay. This never happened in Tiger Woods PGA Tour, 2K21 and 2K23. This got progressively worse after subsequent updates since the frequency of this happening increased. Each time I played this game, my reaction was like Tori Nichols. This is one of the many reasons I moved on and play 2K23 instead.

This happened to me before. The worst case is in Chambers Bay and Wolf Creek where my putt ended up at the original position ir even worse. In my case, this issue has started in Update 3.0. It got worse after subsequent updates. I have stopped playing a month ago. At the time I last played, I had Cameron Champ’s Driver, Patrick Cantlay’s Wood, Lexi Thompson’s Hybrid, Tony Finau’s Iron and Wedge, Dustin Johnson’s Ball. I am also had a maxed out player. I don’t think the specs and stats have much effect on putting. It just got messed up after after Update 3.0 when putting mechanics changed.
- @PinarelloFP3 Can you show a video next time?
Sorry, I cannot show a video because EA PGA GOLF does not have a replay feature. I’d have to be recording all the time and wait for this to happen again.
@PinarelloFP3Depends. Can record up to last 3 minutes on Xbox. Probably similar on PS5.

Looking at the screen you attached, it shows 21ft to the hole and 1ft of uphill elevation.
To make that putt, you should have been giving 35 ft of power. If you only gave 4 yard of power (12 ft), then being 7 yards short (21 ft) is about what should be expected......
I respectfully disagree, because the shot began 8 yards ABOVE the hole. So if I set the landing at 4 yards (12 feet) there is no way (at least on planet Earth) that the ball will travel the entire 8 yards (24 feet) and end up 21 feet from the hole (7 yards) plus the other 4 yards that it traveled after the shot was set to land 4 yards from the hole.
So, altogether, the shot was set up to fly 4 yards, yet it went a total of 15 yards!! You go ahead and try to
make a 4 yard shot travel 15 yards when you hit it for four yards. It’s INCONCEIVABLE.

All I can go by is your screenshot. I had assumed the screen was from prior to the shot and you were describing what happened to the ball after you hit the putt. If this was the case, then my analysis was correct.
If however, the screen was a post of the -result- of the shot you took, then the screen shot doesn't really tell me (or anyone else for that matter) anything as we can't see what your pre-shot lie/distance/club used/shot type used/ etc are.
Based on your last description, I'm wondering if you were off the green behind the hole and you did a chip? A 4 yard chip for an 8 yard distance is the correct amount of rollout on a level surface. However, if the screen was the result of your shot, one can see it was a severe downhill slope if you were chipping from behind. It would be very conceivable that such a chip would continue to slide downhill......
