I guess it's a good patch . Many actual fixes. But for me sadly there are still not enough unforced errors. Major flaw in my opinion. But well.

[Rob ITST]

Fixed a bug where bad connection or lags caused player movement animation to be interrupted.

Did they fix the stutter step? I played 4 online matches, 1 was very laggy but no stutter steps.

[ANILTJE]

I think they did. Didn't play online uyet. But that's of course a huge improvement.

[VillaJ100]

Fixed a bug where bad connection or lags caused player movement animation to be interrupted.

if you mean the think where you step one way then another, i had it earlier in my career mode after the patch

[Hawkeye Miihawk]

I'm guessing that's what this is:

"Fixed a bug where bad connection or lags caused player movement animation to be interrupted."

I haven't played yet so I don't know.

[ANILTJE]

I have to admit the players seem very smooth. Played a laggy match too.

[djarvik]

Yes, the stutter step and the freezing behind tram lines should be fixed now.

[ANILTJE]

Honestly I think the players are a little too fast now lol. I play a diesel server and wrong foot expert.

He is really fast. Get everything back. And maybe because I am tired but the flat control is harder to pull off. EVEN harder

[Elias]

Can't see any gameplay / balance changes in the list ?

or did i miss something.

[ANILTJE]

I think there are some hidden ones. I think they first wanted the bugs been fixed....

[Ali-Iqb93]

Y don't they improve federer service animation????

[Sherlock 117]

Y don't they improve federer service animation????

It's not a bug...

Seems like the frozen player glitch has been fixed up properly. That's a big plus. I don't mind so much the wrong foot animation, because that's user controlled.

Outwide slice serves are now somewhat defendable

[Coolhand Texas]

It seems like people are really fast all of sudden.

[Puttu puttuu]

My player doesn't seem to stutter any more...

Thank you !
