I don't know how i missed this for so long, but let's say you have a 12 foot putt that is 2 inches down hill.

The putting meter will automatically start you at 14 feet instead of right at the cup at 12 feet away. In past games you would be set to 12 feet and then simply adjust for the downhill slope and any break.

Now if it's a straight putt and you don't adjust 4 feet (in my scenario), then you will likely over run the putt unless you utilize a good putting tempo. This doesn't take into affect fast putting conditions which will only make the amount you need to adjust even greater.

Am i the only one who just now realized this flaw in the game?
