This one is mostly about the tactics screen, plus a handful of things that looked wrong.
Bench next to the pitch. Your substitutes now stand beside the board, grouped by line and at the height of that line. The striker you want to bring on is right next to the strikers.
Reserves underneath. Reserves and unavailable players moved below the board and bench, in one wide grid. Big squads fold away behind a "+n" card.
One list, four views. The list on the right switches between Team sheet, Bench, Reserve and All players. All players shows every line in order: starting XI, then bench, reserves and unavailable, each a little fainter, so you see at a glance who you have behind every position.
Tactics board on high-res laptops. At 2560x1600 with 150% Windows scaling the board collapsed into a 30-pixel strip. It is back to full size.
Flickering at half-time. With 150% scaling the half-time board jumped between two sizes every frame, so the player cards flickered. It now settles and stays put.
Walking off backwards. After the final whistle many players walked to the tunnel or the stand backwards, still facing the ball. Measured: 39% of their steps went backwards, now 3.5%.
Music. Five tracks stopped mid-note. They now end cleanly.
Startup. No more white window before the loading screen.
New game. Country names in the country picker and club creation are now translated.
Tell me what you notice.
