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 huge advantage online, because you can have zero approach recovery skills with no ill effects as even “heavy rough” has little effect. You can even spin the ball from the rough (which has not really been possible since they banned U-grooves). The result is you can just.bomb the driver and wedge it in. If the rough was a real penalty then hitting massive power drives would be genuine risk/reward shots. As it stands i’m there is no risk (or very little). Going into US Open style rough should cost you a shot, 1/2 a shot at least.
