What I notice about the gameplay after the patch

Good:
More space. There's more room to pass now and therefore more attack chances

Less annoying tackles: I feel myself holding L2 less and the cpu is less aggressive in the midfield.

Teammate attack without ball: Finally they move towards the goal whenever I have the ball breaking away instead of standing there like a idiot.


Bad:
Standing CPU: I had a couple incident where the CPU stood and let me blow by them for a 1 on 1 with the keeper. Another time they let me get to a deflection after a save while they went to guard someone out of the box even with the ball going to them.

Tripping over downed players:
Players still don't know how to avoid a down player. They still manage to trip over at the slightest touch. That screw me twice when my defender who got the ball trip over my goalie after he made a save. I lose possession and the other team taps the ball in.

Nerfed Speed:
Is it just me or is everything slower? Running, passing, shooting. I don't really mind but I know others might.

A few things, I didn't get to play yet and test out the new patch myself but I was wondering if the patch will effect the gameplay in FUT as well as if EA provided a more in depth list of what was tweaked/fixed/touched whatever you would like to call it.

Thanks in advance for any answers.

EDIT: Just went into my team management and all the players names are f***ed up. They have the correct initials, ratings and appearances but Francesc Fabregas is now F. Fahid, Andrey Arshavin is now A. Artell and so on. WTF?

Ok, this better be a mistake or something that is fixed quickly.

Re: FIFA 11 Post-Patch Impressions (PS3 & 360)
 

I had that same name issue pre-patch and had to go d/l the current rosters again. Not sure the deal with that.

Does anyone know if we have to restart our CM to get the updated stuff to work?

Re: FIFA 11 Post-Patch Impressions (PS3 & 360)
 

I believe EA did say that the CM changes would not work with seasons in progress, only new ones. I can't find the quote but I'll look around.

Re: FIFA 11 Post-Patch Impressions (PS3 & 360)
 

And by seasons do you actually mean seasons or that you need to completely restart the CM?

Is it possible to download the patch WITHOUT downloading anything for Ultimate Team?

My X360 is not regularly hooked up to the internet, so, when I move the X360 later tonight, I expect that it will notice two "new" things (the Ultimate Team thing from last week + the patch the came out today).

I do not play Ultimate Team and I have read elsewhere that UT causes a problem with player names - a problem whose solution is to download a new squad file - but I do not want a new squad file because I have already invested A LOT of time with stadium renaming.

So, really, I only want the "patch". Can I do this?

(Sorry - should this be in a different thread? My apologies ...)
