Got a 2000 evinrude 50hp 4 stroke when I shift into forward it very easy, but when I go back to neutral it gets a lot harder and then if I shift to reverse it's really hard to shift but will go back out of reverse to neutral easy and then to forward easy. Cables are new
I unhooked the cables at the motor and moved the shift lever by hand and it's same thing I'll try to post a video of it

Racer is correct, it's hard on the lower end if you don't rotate the prop while shifting it not running.

Other things can happen too though.
