How could they even do such a dramatic change? it really feels completely different. I played kick-off match btw.

Others have reported the same thing, but after getting through the first match, it normalized back to where it was.

For those of us that live in the boonies, is there a way to get PC patches downloaded at school and bring them home to install on PC? I'm looking for the roster updates but my ISP has stopped my internet for hitting my limit

If we find old exe can we play pre-patched version?

I didn't experience the return to normal state despite playing several games today (exhibition, several games in new CM in different leagues). The game is really faster and it seems to me it has lost its superb inertia. I think dribbling and long passes are way easier now it feels like players can turn on a dime now). Also it seems to me the cpu attack has more elements from the previous tittles (15,16) such as the quick string of 3-4 passes at the entry of the box for a first time shot. CPU build up feels less impressing/ human. I really hope my feelings are wrong and that's only a one day thing.
I kept a back up of folder of the game before patch, that I will able to play by turning Origin off line. I will compare the two versions when I will find some time.

You're right guys, it is such a dramatic change that it can't be the intended gameplay. The ball was much faster, the animations too, there was no weight and inertia like papinho mentioned. I know because I played 3-4 matches like that yesterday, but after trying the kick off match it seems to have reverted back to normal today for me. Hope it will be back to normal for you too.

unfortunately I didn't make a spare copy of the game somewhere else god I wish I had. I am now not going play anymore Fifa 18 until I find a solution to this. I need to go back to the release date gameplay otherwise I am just not interested. Have order a DVD which is coming on Monday. Hopefully I can use it without the updates. Looking into PES as an alternative this year which is a real, real shame.

deleting patch folder can turn the game back to first release version??

I downloaded the patch (PS4) and can't say I notice much a difference at all. Except the radar being fixed, thank god!

Definitely need to play more to see if there's more subtle adjustments, but all this talk of it playing faster, that's not what I'm experiencing on PS4.
