There's a whole lot of comments in many threads about the update.
I would appreciate that if we can keep specific reactions in here with regard to the fix on the so-called crab walk.

I particularly want to focus on how this is actually effecting gameplay right now. Please comment if you've actually played the game with the update which was released today on xbox360.

Is this actually making it easier for players to use the quick through ball or high ball tactic with speedy forwards?
Or is this countered with more alert defenders?
Or is the advantage gone further with the forwards since they're faster?
Was the crab walk there in the first place to try and bridge this gap in speed?
So is the game better or worse with this fix?

I'm not really sure because I've only had time to play two matches with the update tonight. I will try it out more tomorrow, but so far I can say that allround play around the box seems more fluid due to sorting out that crab walk. I'm not sure if I'm right but they also seem to make better runs instead of skating/getting stuck around the defenders.

What do you think?
