Hey guys, after being immersed with Hollands brilliant GP patches of late (and using evoweb patch) since dlc4.0, i did the whole backup stuff before dl'ding and installing dlc5.0. I kept the vanilla exe and dt18 (from dlc5.0 update) just to see if konami have added anything to gameplay etc. I will say it plays bloody brilling... like really good.. Not sure what it is, but a few things seem to have improved.. ball physics was the first thing saw.. seems heavier... and everything is at a more slower realistic pace for me (i play default). Just feels and looks awesome.
Also seems on-the-ball control has improved.. particularly with good dribblers... As it seemed in the past, that players like Messi, regardless of his dribbling ability, always seemed a bit off.. seems he has far better control with this new dlc (ball closer to foot) and easier to dribble past defence.. ..which i like. And yeah, the ball physics just seem spot on atm. Um.. what else.. I got a heap of yellow cards awarded in the 3 games i had.. but this could be just coincidental, so maybe the refs are stricter.
Now, i was hoping players like Messi would take me on more often, and although i didnt get much of that (he does shoot on goal as soon as the opportunity presents), but i did get Dibala come in a couple of times during the game, running away from my defenders and then taking the shot when presented with space:
As i play exclusively on Exhibition, im betting scripting hasnt gone, and thats the benefit of Holland's mods... great gameplay, but minus the scripting. His latest beta (LFM beta tester) is brilliant, as is the one before that ie. "Live Football Match". But i have to say Konami's new vanilla exe, is pretty damn awesome. How are you guys finding it.. ??
