Only thing I care about is: "Gameplay improvements to defensive positioning and lob through balls."

PC user here. I can confirm that this patch dramatically improved cpu AI defense and teammate cpu AI defense. Teammates on defense are for the first time in a FIFA game useful! I guess some devs there at EA played PES 15 and decided to fix this problem after 6 years.
Lobbed through passes are also fixed.
Some more gameplay observations:
- GKs have even better positioning and their reaction is improved.
- I saw cpu backpassing in vanilla 1.04. I still prefer to play with the ini adjustments though.

My biggest problem right now is that I have 2 great football games...

Yeah, I wonder if that means positioning in general and something like an adjustment to thru ball spin/trajectory, or positioning when defending lob through balls. With the new ball physics, this year feels like the first time longer aerial passes will realistically check up to be run onto. I wouldn't want to see that sacrificed to prevent assisted thru ball spam, as that would spill over to manual controls.

The kit clashing improvements are welcome; the other night we played with yellow tops/navy shorts against navy tops/yellow shorts. Something like that pops up now & again.

And career mode stability fixes are always good, as are more real faces. Is the Match Day Live update on Friday?

FYI, just added a link to the OP, showing a list of players with updated head scans.

How much back passing would you say you saw? Honestly, this is my biggest gripe with the game. The CPU dribbles too much and never plays the right pass. I'm quite anxious to try this out, I still really like this game, even though I purchased PES as well. They're just 2 totally different games and I enjoy the back and forth.

Still no fix for hand balls?? Cmon man.

Lobbed through passes are "fixed"? So vague. What exactly did they fix and in what way was it broken before they fixed it?
