With more games post patch, I agree with others that have already said the patch has dramatically improved this game. I found the game really great before, but now it is simply awesome. It flows so much naturally.
The physical advantage the CPU had before seems to be gone, which lead to very pleasant battle in the penalty areas, the midfield, all over the place indeed. Before patch, using R2+R1 was mandatory to have a chance to win a duel against the CPU, now it so much balanced. The magnet tackling ability of the cpu seems to have been lessen. These two things only, have greatly reduced two potential sources of frustration that were in the game before the patch. These could sounds like it impacted negatively the difficulty of the game, but no, the game is still very challenging (at least in Superstar).
Also, it seems to me that the cohesion between the different lines defense, midfield, attack, have been greatly improved. For example, while testing klashman tactics for the BPL, I was complaining about Liverpool defense which was sitting very deep and always letting acres of space to the cpu attackers in transitions (I was playing with Liverpool). That's something I am not seeing anymore without touching the tactic
It is like konami actually listen the players complains (customer satisfactory inquiry they released at beginning of October?) and addressed the issues.
For someone coming from the competitor like me, who is used to a in general negative impact of patches, it sounds like a revolution.
Thanks konami for making this great game even better!
EDIT: The time of the latency before reaction of your player after the cpu tackled you seems to have been reduced too.
