I don't need to test nor to I want to. I'm observing the behavior on this forum and seeing that everybody is noticing the same variations I've always seen. So, on that alone, business as usual.

I'm not talking about sliders. I played pre-patch on default sliders, the same way I play now post patch. I already have posted my opinion about sliders in the community sliders thread.
This is a patch impressions thread. Just delete it then. Let's have the first post saying: "Ok guys GK rushing is tweaked" and lock it. Or even better have just the changelog by EA because EA knows better...
Don't get me wrong, I understand completely your point but I still think that posting all these observations is better than nothing.

I agree that the observations are great. As long as they are presented as such and it's acknowledged that this game already plays differently for everybody. There should be an implied disclaimer in everybody's head.

And my experience has been the polar opposite of this. Lol!

This right here.

This is why I can't make one single slider adjustment. Running default sliders.

It's not oh boy match to match the CPU is being so tactical this is amazing.

It's more just like oh this match passing works, oh this match crossing works, oh this match CPU is faster than me, this one neither team can shoot, this one through ball works better and on and on. There really isn't any rhyme or reason to it. I guess this makes it more interesting as going into a match you never know which controls or control methods will be nerfed or op but it's just a bizarre way to present variety.

People can TELL me anything they want. Doesn't mean I have to agree with it. That's what opinions are. I enjoy reading everyone's experiences, but at the end of the day, the only experience that COUNTS is our own PERSONAL experience with the game.

Exactly. I wasn't being sarcastic.

In about 20 matches post patch, can't say I've seen a difference.

My possession stats are trending pretty much the same pre and post patch.

I score about the same number of headers pre and post patch.

I score about the same number of goals pre and post patch.

I concede approx the same number of headers from the CPU pre and post patch.

I tend to have about the same number of tackles pre and post patch.

The CPU defense around it's own box is just as stingy post patch as it was pre patch for me.

My teammates are just as helpful/unhelpful post patch as they were pre patch.

I see no difference with pace or inertia.

The biggest difference Matt10 said when he first played the post patch game is that the AI is humanized - I see the same opposition AI as pre patch.

Ultimately, while individual games can feel different, the overall trend of my matches post patch seem right in-line with pre patch trends.

Read my post in the OS community sliders thread so you can fix your game. It is worth it.
