I've spent some time with the beta and new patch and made a few observations.
I absolutely adore the way scouting works now - trials are now a vital part of scouting for me, if the player has no contract of course. I trial them for a week and when their trial is over my scout usually has 100% coverage of the player. It usually highlights their injury proneness and important things that get missed early on. This of course can also be discovered by scouting the player for longer or by a scout with excellent stats but when you are lower league that can be tricky.
Balancing issues perhaps? I *have* seen more draws since applying 15.03. But that could also be down to lots of mediocre teams in the same league. It's very difficult to prove either way. But maybe the balancing needs toned down slightly.
Tactical changes in the ME now cause lag. Occasional slow downs and glitches have been introduced with 15.03. At least for me.
I like the improved board meetings and the way you can now make multiple requests per meeting.
Lots of improvements all round I'd say, looking forward to the full release.
