okkkkeyyy, first time playing after the patch, definitely game is slower, played a few games to judge, and i can't sprint past defenders, as i did with ease in the past weeks, that is due to 1) game is slowed down 2) the magic dribbling is gone 3) there is quite an amount of clumsiness injected, players falling down, team mates tackling each other (guess they wanted to differentiate higher rated cards as opposed to OP non rare cards, and as i do play with those non rares most of the time, my midfield was on the ground in the last game : )

the passing also slowed down, so my ideal world of good passers but slow players is a bit far away now, the ball barely reaches to your teammate, guess that was an attempt to kill the ping pong. that respect, defending is easier now (although i conceded an KO from aubabiatch). not complaining but game is more of H2H now, a new learning curve for me, adapting will take time

anybody experiencing similar stuff?

dont get it, what did they add? wasnt it already there?

update: ok got what you mean now, guess you are mentioning this, from the darkside http://forum.ea.com/uk/posts/list/2972050.page if you ask me sounds promising for most of them.

• Added players, kits, and badges for the two new MLS expansion teams Orlando City and New York City FC to FIFA Ultimate Team - that is good news actually.
• Updated FIFA Ultimate Team player item portraits for 18 high-profile players - dont know what that means
• Added ability to assign Player Instructions via the squad screen in FIFA Ultimate Team - that is also good, so that i wiould not spend time on the match screen and keep oppo waiting
• Gameplay improvements to defensive positioning and lob through balls - no more kick off glitch?
• Using the “Compare Price” feature on in-form Players Items now compares the item with other in-form versions instead of the normal version. - very good one, now its easier to search on IFs, get what you want into a concept team, press search in market, then compare, very nice...
