The match engine is a big improvement in the 11 games i've played so far. Teams get into defensive shape really nicely, there's nice attacking runs and the ball physics are great. However, the amount of corners is absurdly high. I'm getting 15-25 in games routinely and it's making them quite boring to watch.
The same issue as last year is also still present where the AI will often score their first and only shot on goal an unusually high percentage of the time. In 6 of the 10 games this has happened to me, and it's happened to the people in the same network save 4,4,5 and 6 times, and we've had the AI score with their first two shots on 4 separate occasions. This is beyond frustrating because watching the goals there never seems to be any reason for them aside from the engine deciding that you can't have a clean sheet.
But overall, brilliant update so far. Some tweaks will make this really great.
