Hey all. I've been talking to Anthony and I'm trying to determine how many people are seeing one or more of the following issues. It doesn't matter if you are on PC, XBox or PS4. The goal here is if enough folks are seeing these issues I and many others are seeing, HB will look into them.
When putting, there has been some weird things happening.
Scenario 1 The first would be you are putting a ball with speed that would put it 1-2 feet past the hole which is what is suggested. As the ball approaches the hole, it will cross over the center or slightly off center and pass over the hole without ever hopping, deviating or any other motion that would suggest it hit the back of the hole in any matter. The ball ends up a foot or two beyond the hole.
Scenario 2 You putt the ball with the same speed as above and as it reaches the center of the hole, slightly off center or the edge of the hole, the ball will seemingly stutter. The results can be the ball disappearing and reappearing on the other side of the hole or even just suddenly be in the hole. The key here is it stuttering as it reaches the hole.
You can vote up to three times. (One for each of the scenarios and one for something different).

Nope to both scenarios. (PS4 here)
But what I have seen is where a ball has near dead weight (Re: it will go 2 feet past the hole max) and it hits the edge. My issue isn't that it misses, it is how it misses. For example, a left to right breaking putt and my ball is going towards the left lip (breaking toward the cup). When it hits the edge, it acts like it hits a forcefield or something along those lines, and it pushes back the opposite direction, which is how a ball would react to hitting an above ground object, not a cup cut into the ground, which should have the ball roll along the edge and then push to the right as it goes by the hole.
Edit: I have seen #1 happen on others' live streams.

Sometimes the putter will stick half way back ?

voted yes to scenario one and two more than once, and something I can't explain. Glitched Ace thread.
I actually had a hole out eagle on a par 4 today where it just went into the cup, no sound or anything. I Favorited the replay but haven't looked at it to see if it did the stutter thing again.
Edit, no stuttering on this one, just seems to be a swish lol

I THINK I've seen scenario 1, but it could as well be a bit of lag giving me a putt that is harder than intended. No on scenario 2. Also what Bob said.

Edit: I have seen #1 happen on others' live streams. The instance you are referring to I did get a video of, showed it to him and he investigated it. He found in certain circumstances there is an error in the coding which flips a + to a - and it goes in a direction it isn't supposed to. He said that is going to be fixed next update.

I have a scenario (similar but not the same as No.1) where it goes through the hole and stops immediately on the other side of the cup, when I have viewed the replay because I was gobsmacked the putt went in.

Thats encouraging. I brought it up because I wonder if it is contributing to the other scenarios you mention in some capacity.

I think I might see #2 in a slightly varied fashion. It doesn't disappear for me, but it hesitates occasionally about 1 foot before it hits the cup.
I also see the putter head flicker right after you make contact with your putt all the time. I always thought that was where it was "computing" if your putt would go in or not.. not sure.

I get what you are saying. What I'm trying to figure out is this. If I am legitimately missing a putt because the ball doesn't go into the hole due to my miscalculation, I'm okay with that. If the ball LOOKS like it should go in but because of a graphical glitch (like the one Anthony said happened with one of the putts I showed him or in the shot where the ball hovered a foot above the hole for a moment or two before it dropped), it doesn't drop, even though we really shouldn't have made it, then we need to know this. If I can't trust the end result with what I saw happened, there is a problem. It is like lining up a putt and then closing your eyes. You miss it but have no idea what happened. Same thing if we can't trust the graphics we are seeing to tell the correct story. (Insert replay or lack there of) joke here.

The one time I have ever seen your first scenario was on this week's PGA minor. I believe it was the Sunday round on the 16th hole or so. I had a 5 inch downhill putt, maybe 9 feet away. I played it at a 4 foot putt and it sailed straight over the hole without even attempting to go down.
1300 rounds, this is the first time I had ever seen anything that ridiculous. It reminded me of your complaints on these forums.
But in the end, I chalked it up to possibly going too far back on my backswing.
I've been meaning to go back to get a video of it happening, but I can't be bothered to.
I have never seen scenario #2.

Platform: PC
Scenario 1 - Numerous times.
Additional scenario: Missed putt where break does not play as expected. Next putt, (coming back) the true break can be seen past the hole. Most annoying here is; no break evident on 1st putt but when viewed from behind the hole the "ghost break" appears.
Additional scenario: Immediate impact squirt off putter blade (always to the left for me) - shot cone shows putt was straight... (Intermittent).

Can't say I've seen what you've listed in your scenarios, I have however hit dead centre of the cup on 2 holes one after the other and it's jumped over the cup, it was in true sim play and I assume I hit it to hard as I like to hit it firmer slightly as to hold its line more if that makes sense so I can't say its a glitch or not, haven't had it with aids on at all. I do however see the ball lip out in odd directions occasionally but that's been explained before and they are aware of that one
