*BUZZ* This is a rather complete update actually, looks to be within 24 hours of implementation - almost all of them seem to go in on thurs/fri. So this is NOT the usual lack of communication. I'm not faulting them for this one. |

In that case I appologise, I presumed they all went in today. | 12/01/2012 18:07 |

Even if they went in today. Communicating them at all is infinite improvement. And it also helps, because the people that min/max the rules will have to retool. whereas the people who play in more real fashion will not. |

Reb a high defensive line is not a min max, it's a decent defense. I think they should fix it so that if you play 5 defenders in the middle of the D. I feel that's not at all "realistic". Any decent team would pass down the wings and cross it in. Unfortunately that's not an option either, they just shoot from a 179 degree angle most of the time. I honestly feel like you've lost sight of the game. I'm now going to fire all my CDF's and buy a couple more DFM's. |

They put it in today. The update went out 20 minutes before my cup match. I can see the difference in defender speed, it seems to kick in the most when they cross the midfield line. I have to disagree with you Reb, rand promised me he would give at least 2 days warning. This update went out after it was implemented (no way they put out the update, then patched the new code in all within 20 minutes). I give them a C+ for communicating the change at all, deductions for not enough notice to adjust formations. |

Now I'm done changing my formation. Lots of work tho. I hope the updates has been tested and confirmed the effectiveness before implementation. Good luck everybody. =) |

This change is part awesome and part horrible. Making strikers smarter - awesome Adding headers - awseome Fixing offsides calls when the ball comes from a defender - awesome. Slowing defenders down at midfield - unrealistic, short-sighted, and thus horrible. Managing space and speed on the field is a realistic way to play against a superior team. In real life. Making the simulator more realistic (the top 3 changes) will force managers to adjust tactics. This is great. Monkeying with player speed to make certain tactics less useful (the last change) reduces simulator realism, singles out specific managers, and creates a strange rule for people to exploit. Artificial tweaks have not worked in the past. This is a mistake. |

But last change was announced about a week after fact, one before that was not at all i think. Mid season was a disaster. So all movement in right direction. |
