  Cause I'm scoring bogeys and dubbel bogeys everywere. But I put the same as before the tier update. Anyone feels the same?

  Sort of.  You really need to hit the line now in putting.  a 6-8 foot putt is no longer a gimmie.  You miss the line, you are missing the hole now.

  He's right ... especially at the Pro (and I assume, higher) tiers....

  Don't miss the line with the putter or you will miss the whole hole.  Watched someone miss from 6", and when I asked how, they said they got a lag spike the the contact was made .5" behind the contact line.   That had to suck.

  Cheers.

  Yes, I feel the same.
  Just missed a 2.5 ft putt.
  You really need perfect hit with the putter now

  i agree...admittedly im usin crap clubs....but ive had lip outs all over the shop.....the game program will not allow u to putt them, especially on BPB...any putt for a birdie or par is nigh on impossible....but if its a four foot for a bogey, u can do it with ure eyes closed...a little unfair id say!

  in other words i have to put my hand in my holy pockets....unfortunately im not a credit card holder, debit yes....but u cant use that!

  I find it ironic that sooo many people were complaining about putting be too hard before, the changes. Now they go and make it even harder lol. This is hilarious. Here's what I do now....don't even aim, just hit left or right. Seems more consistent.

  I can chip it in but not putt it from that far on Bethpage.  Who am I kidding I'm having trouble with 7 ft putts there when  I hit just a little to far of the bar.  Wish I could break par like you Mr. Boo  =/

  I actually found the change to putting prior to this one to be much more difficult and unpredictable.

  It took me a few rounds to get the feel of how far off mishits go with the new change, but the putting is much more predictable now than previously, IMO.

  Marioh - you hit upon our goal.  We wanted to make the putting more predictable based on the player's actions while keeping the difficulty level the same.

  The difficulty level is not the same admin. Its not even close. I'd rather deal with a random deviation every

  seventh putt vs.hitting the edge of the perfect mark (and i mean touching the edge) and missing a perfectly read putt every hole.

  I dont like to complain, because what your doing is amazing. Just wish that putter was a litle more forgiving.
