Just played a short game earlier and will be wanting to play more later, but my first impressions were that I was very impressed! Batting, front and back foot felt a lot better, fielding was much improved (the fielders actually chased hard nearly all the time) and the whole experience felt a lot better. Graphically the game looks better, looks lit better! Good UI changes too, (field editor visibility, result screen size fixed) and there's no doubt more to experience that a short play time can't reveal. Well done BA on this patch, this is the first time I've felt that the game is starting to feel like a proper advancement from C'19 in several areas!
With the academy a lot more stable, I hope the creators who've given it a rest (understandably!) will feel confident about being able to do a few more creations now too.
