4.2 changes

We don't have a lot of we was expecting. But... Nobody talks about the gameplay itself. I play pa4 so i describe my impressions from this perspective.

Passing Initial speed of pass is higher and then in slows down more faster. Now i feel weight of the ball.

Players movements. Before Thursday pass receivers was very dumb to pick up the ball. (PA4) Now they more responsive. And most important initial movement very heavy but responsible.

Positions For example when i defend with 433 formation and i control gavi a bit to the right from center , trying to hold down opponent with the ball on the right side, de jong automatically runs over me breaking midfield. Same with rb . When i holding opponent, Player from middle runs to opponent with the ball and makes huge hole in defense. Now the play more appropriate to situation.
This plus heaviness makes defending more manual. It's harder and easier at the same time. If you in proper position it's easier, but if not because of heavy start you are cooked. Because of this in general top cards very OP.

Freezing. It's not gone but there's some changes. I had many cases when my player wasn't freezing and i have many episodes when i immediately fight ball back. But sometimes still i see player stops playing (looks like combination of stamina and momentum)

GK Nerfed so with changes with a lot of battles Keepers along with heaviness in defense overall goals should remain.

Overall game feels really good. I feel i do control my game. Much less extra weird touches. Ball control more real, no fight with a ball in simple cases. Passing feels great. Like in rock paper scissors every stat can be dominant with proper team build, formation and style. Hard to spam with anything ( passes, tackles, crosses ). This version gameplay i can play long term.

UPD: Link for just recorded no freezing take ball back. video
