I mean, they CAN change how the game plays in a patch, but I don't think there was anything like that mentioned in the recent patch notes.
I think the likely answer here is that the gameplay hasn't actually changed, people are just getting used to the game. Personally, I don't think the game really feels any different than when it released early.
EA is not known for their transparency, theres nothing forcing them to write all changes to patch notes. Wouldn’t be first time they left out changes from the notes.
i think the game play (EASHL) has at least become very hectic with little space for passing plays. Either the game speed has been ramped up and/or the introduction of prebuilt classes with +90 top speed and wheels, elite edges and truculence all with same classes makes the gameplay unbearable. Completely idiotic decision.
