I have noticed at times even before this patch, that the game would at times seem faster, than others, then on rare occassions it seems they are sluggish and slow.
I have hears some say to start over the game and it will fix it. I have personally noticed just pausing and going into the sliders section and then backing out, does the trick.
I havent played yet since this patch, so I can say for sure, but it may not be the patch changing any gameplay. But you never know, I have felt for the last few yrs anyway, that just roster updates, at times seems to change the speed of the game, then it seems to correct itself one way or another.
