Rough Too Easy
On the whole, best golf game to date on console. Really like that limited skill points supports different play styles; in theory. However, the reality is that if you boost power up to 8 you get a hug...

@ragingsaintDifficult conditions in rough are only applicable on a handful of courses.
I would argue this isn't even close to the best game to date on console. 2K in my opinion has much better ball and cup physics. Other than the ridiculous swing speeds in 2K... even the swing mechanics are better. In 2K you are rewarded for good shots and punished for poor ones. In EA too often you feel the outcome of your shots are not in your hands.
In 2K I pretty much know when the ball leaves the club where it is going. I can feel a slight push or poorly timed shot. I don't get this from EA.
Also... with a fully levelled player I am never in trouble with EA. A flop or pick shot will leave me next to the hole. I 2K in the rough above the hole with the green sloping away... I know I will not be able to stop the ball close.
EA shows some potential... but not in the current direction they are taking the game.
I agree with your last point. With wedges, flop shots, spinners etc ( and no lie penalties) it is way too easy atm
