Apply Occam's razor and play the game you paid for. Introducing new conclusions/assumptions without numbers to back it up or anything is going to ruin this game for a person more than any patch ever could.

I completely agree with this. Every game I've played in MM pre-patch, approx 30-40 games, has felt different depending on the opponent. I don't expect any changes going forward.

Dang. You're right, man. I was absolutely looking at the wrong one on my PS4. I apologize. Thanks! Well, hopefully, the next patch gives us some real faces and makes red shirts RED.

Guys, if you're dissapointed with the new patch I have good news for you. I deleted the game, which I bought from psn store, and redownloaded it again and surprise...the first part of the download lets you play the game at the same SLOW speed of the demo and not at the frantic arcady pace of the latest patch. Inertia is back, the CPU doesn't make lightning passes anymore.

Default sliders were unplayable post-patch and now I even got the CPU accuracy under the 90's at default.

I don't know what to believe anymore

I was about to give up on the game until I heard about the Patch. I was having major problems on Legendary just getting the ball back. There would be many times where I just COULD NOT get the ball off of them if my life depended on it.

After the patch it seems like my Teammates are a lot smarter. They have been intercepting a lot more passes than usual and playing defense doesn't seem like as much of a chore to me. It also seemed like the passing was tuned just a touch.

Honestly... I don't care what they changed. The game plays a lot better for me now. I know some think we are just seeing things but I was going to sell my copy and pick up the new Blood Bowl, now I am keeping it (but I am still buying Blood Bowl )

Confirmation bias is definitely the right term. Sliders bug me because people will play a few matches, adjust sliders, play a few matches, adjust sliders, and on and on. I know I spent pretty my entire time playing FIFA 13 caught in that, and I could never just leave it alone. And it's why the sliders thread usually ends up like 10 times as big as the impressions thread, lol.

Is offline as pacy as online for you? I had to download my game again because the patch made weird things to it.

I've only had a chance to play one game since the patch (stupid work) but the game definitely felt better to me. Passing was harder for both me and the CPU it seemed and the CPU took more chances causing more errors. I didn't notice a pace increase or any dramatic shift in how the CPU attacks outside of a few longer pass chances then I remembered before.

I only play offline career and did not reset my career. If the game continues to play similar I will be very happy.
