Iv downloaded the patch, played a dozen matches, this patch hasn't effected the OF, there has been subtle changes in all areas of the game, for example previous patches, players like goetze, coutinho, benat just to name a few never used to stand out for me when they passed, they all kind of felt the same, in this patch they stand out, don't get me wrong the game still lacks variation, but I feel a difference when these guys pass to split the defence, shooting has been tuned as well, u notice a big difference now between a hard shot and a normal shot, as well as shot placement, it's not placebo cos Iv been playing this game non stop since it has came out, the only people that will say is placebo are the ones that haven't played it much, but for the guys that have been playing it a lot you know what I mean when you play, also it seems the slowdown has improved in the final 3rd of the pitch, u can burst away with the speedy players, again not much difference just a little, also the wingers in this game feel like wingers now as compared to previous patches, overall game feels great from the matches Iv played, konami have done a great job, enjoy fellas
