I don´t know where the journey ends this season with that rebuild of realism which EA decided to deny since...? ages?! But what an amazing experience to play with Version 14 at the moment
@Anth James
Curious what you will enhance further. But I never had that feeling since the journey starts the development of your mod is stuck! Sometimes from one to another version it´s maybe first time a little improvement to the previous Version, but there are more and more differences remarkable when I play more Matches. So many little tweaks to feel only by playing really 2x10 Minutes a Match and not only 2 or 3 Matches.
Currently I am playing the default v.14 still on TU 8. So this feedback is related to that TU. Played some Matches on TU 9 also but I rolled back because most of my other mods in my Mod manager load order are not updated to TU 9, though.
On both versions I don´t feel the game is too fast or faster than on TU 8. Here my game settings:
Legendary difficulty - 2x10 Minutes - normal speed and all sliders at 50 of course like the recommendation. I never had the feeling to adjust those recommendation as it plays perfectly fine to my desired way of having a real Match on my Screen. The ball pass speed is really what I like related to default gp. In default game play when I control the game with FUMA I can´t find my sweetspot related to how much I must push the x button for a decent pass speed. With Anth´s gp here it feels much more natural by pushing the x button for a ground pass. Also the high through pass is sometimes really effective to open the Pitch on the other side or just for experementing if I can overcome the well organized AI defence. Speaking from the AI behaviour gives another great example what Anth´s have achieved by building his mod. No stupid running into many counter attacks towards my own goal by the AI or vice versa.
Patience to build up your attacks is most valueable. I often find myself trapped by the "old" FIFA behaviour to pass fast in front of the AI´s goal instead of let the ball circle inside my own rows. Just for finding finally a way through the clever defense of the AI.
The 1on1 tackling and pulling in direct battles about the ball is also what have since many previous gp Versions just an realistic aspect. Collisions are noteable, over the invisible legs of the Players on the Pitch when it comes to 1on1 battles. I am having still a really hard time to stick with default game speed Version and "normal" speed. But that´s called a luxury Problem.

As the default Version have a little bit more dynamic imo related to the general game speed which makes the Game by using a far away camera angle/settings it looks amazingly like an Premier League saturday afternoon broadcast match. But I also love the normal speed Version which gives me a little bit more time to build up my game plan. This one feels more like the german Bundesliga which I often watch on weekend match days. It´s slower paced compared to premier League Matches.
Anyway, whatever you Guys gameplay speed suits your gamestyle we have many many combination options to build up the perfect gp for our personal style. There was never so much diversity in a gp mod like Anth´s here where we can choose different game speeds, different pass speeds, different walk styles, different animations and everything you will face when unpack the mod Folder. Just great! And it shows how much effort and in depth work by testing, adjusting, testing, adjusting, testing, adjusting Anth gives into it.
Glad to be a part of real soccer in EA´s arcade world with that gp. Btw, I often read here and the more at YouTube the gp would still having ice skating animations or it still looks like EA gameplay and no one can fix the core problem of EA´s mechanic, I can only say to those Guys you should never rate a gp Video without playing a single halftime of the presented gp mod. Sure not all core mechanics can be saved by gp editing, would need a new game engine or animation engine, but I hadn´t that much fun since the FIFA 16 times. The freedom you feel now on the pitch by the ball behaviour or the passing and the controlling of the ball by the Players is just awesome with v.14.
Well done my friend! Keep your Vision of that kind of realism!
