Got on the stream expecting to play one game and have played three.

Loving the flow of the game. No real complaints 3 matches in.

Playing as Tottenham:
2-0 loss to Chelsea
1-1 draw to Burnley
2-1 win versus Swansea

Initial and immediate thoughts: this is playing sooooo wide open. I thought it was too expansive before these HLW settings and it's been made much worse. Also, the reduction in Run Frequency has made a negligible difference to the CPU but has hurt HUM big time. My guys just stand around too much.

Really liked everything related to ball and player movement, but not so much positioning on the width of the pitch. There is too much bodies on the sides of the pitch. As a result the center is very open. It is very easy to run through the center of the pitch with midfielders. On the other hand wings feels difficult to use, my fbs were constantly marked. When you look at the radar, the defending team is completely stretched through the whole width of the pitch, it doesn't look right.


However positioning does feel good on the direction of the length with may be the exception of attackers coming a bit too early on crosses.

Tried one normal, then one slow. I'm definitely moving back to normal. Should have some vids up soon.

Tested the new beta sliders, play with the same settings, normal speed manual and semi, and i noticed this too. There is no movement on HUM offense, the center of the pitch it´s like a highway and CPU is crossing, in my opinion, badly. Not "to the stands badly", but still...

This is in my OS Sliders Career. In my "near default sliders" Career (sliders that have no more than 5 points above or below 50, except Height and Lenght), things are quite different and it´s where i notice how the game changes for worse with sliders too much away from default, especially passing error and speed.

By far the best two matches of my MUFC CM. I'd yet to concede a goal entering this session and frankly I was just overwhelming the CPU defense.

Unlike a the above two posts, I found the middle to actually be marked and contested this go. The pace to the match was much slower for my attack. A lot moments where the CPU forced me to move the ball wide and back. Around the box I thought the game was beautiful for both teams. Just seemed like more resistance to easy shots for both sides.

Leicester match was an absolute thriller. They just kept looking for the ball over my back line to Vardy and Slimani, and I scored early on a loose ball deflection that set Rashford in on goal. Leicester finally broke me down in quick succession after the half to make it 2-1. They went into a shell and found chances difficult to come by. After a HUGE PK save from De Gea, I brought fellaini on and tried a more direct approach. Paid off in stoppage when he was able to flick a cross onto Lukaku's run who calmly finished with the left. My first jump off the couch moment of 18!

I think this is a good sign too though. I believe that part of the intent of widening it was to pinch off some of the exploits on the wings that were happening. Its may not be quite right, but the good news is that the adjustment is doing what we want it to do.
