Other than that it gets harder to win what would you say are the the most important dfferences(or improvementes if you consider the so) that your new patch will bring?
WARNING: Long reply! 
Well, first of all there is a much more 'balanced' feel to the play of the game. It's harder for both you and the CPU to go from one end of the field to the other, although on occasions you obviously get quick breaks, it does take good build up play and tactics to score great goals. The goalkeepers are highly skilled, but not perfect due to new tuning. I believe the game to be difficult for more of the right reasons rather than 'CPU is at a constant advantage' you can actually score goals like the CPU, it just takes skill! I have had some amazing shots at goal that have hit the crossbar and I have been gutted because it's the type of shot the CPU does from a great position or tactical pass. I lost on semi-pro 1-0, which shows that a learning-curve to the new gameplay is required and although the difficulty is evident to increase from semi-pro to World class/legendary difficulty modes, it isn't to a case where the game becomes 'difficulty unplayable' in terms of 'CPU score with every shot, user can never hit the target'. One new area I will point out is penalty kicks, its sooo much more diverse now. Just because your keeper gets his fingers to the shot now, does NOT mean it won't go in and the balls physics is so much better than the last version, this is what I believe. In any case of 'ball physics' there is always a self preference, I find, that makes it difficult for me to please everyone. I have however played PES5 on the PC and noticed that my ball physics lean more towards that game than a fast-past, retro FIFA 99 game with a heavy ball and pin-ball passing.
The ball is freer than before; you can kick the ball out too far in front of you and lose control much easier. Tackling is slightly less 'perfect' and you feel a sense of 'freedom' while kicking the ball around. It definitely feels more like football. You can put together some lovely plays, but you have to be good, even if you score a goal and think 'that's it, I've won', which yes you may think since games are so much tighter now, the CPU will however pressure and attack you, and push to break your defence. They won't try the same thing over and over either; they will be dynamic in the way that they play. I am still working on the CPU tuning, tweaking them ever so slightly, keeping the balance and keeping it challenging and fun to play.
I truly am enjoying this update and can't wait to get it out to you guys and read your feedback!!
