What an amazing experience I had with Anth James' Realistic Gameplay Mod - V17 default Version. I only tried the Referee addon on top. It plays smooth, it plays immersive, it plays dynamically.
It make me record this Video. A long one, Guys... But it shows in a long term the whole beauty of v.17 without any breaks. No need to watch the whole 16 min. but decide yourself. Oh, btw. don´t put the blame on me after you laughed me out while I am ridiculous missed my first penalty chance after months. I just forgot how to shoot penatlties in that game.
Anyway, the gp felt very smooth related to animations, the Players act and move even more like real ones. The ball roll speed is on the tin imo. I had really fun playing this 2x5 minutes - World Class Level - default Sliders - normal Game speed. If someone still hesitate to try out the mod this Gameplay could be your entry at all

It´s always a matter of taste related to speed, animations, Tackling behaviour, Positioning on the Pitch of both Team Players etc. So I just can speak for myself and I hadn´t expect another great step from v.16 which I also love. But the little changes doing the trick again with v.17. The ball freedom, the space to create an attack plan, looking for the next hole in the AI defense are fantastic.
Not forgot to mention the huge addon mods which Anth provides. I guess it took a whole weekend to check out every possible addon combo. I didn´t count the options in the mod, but at least a dozen. Cook and bake your individual Playstyle related to Game speed, animations, Positioning, goalkeepers, Referees and much more.
Congrats, Anth! This is something else imo.
