I started a game with Dortmund on the new patch. Offense is still pretty good, defense is a bit worse, especially away from home.
League table with home and away record showing just this.

Might try playing with "Counter" mentality away from home, Control is probably a bit to ambitious with this squad.
Still scoring plenty from corners, 28 in the league, which is 21 more than the 2nd team.
Also won the Champions League, hammering City at home being the highlight. How Gelsenkirchen got to the final I've no idea, they beat Chelsea and Real Madrid on the way to. Weird stuff happening this patch.

Some really good results at home

Some games you just don't know what happened

Made a few minor changes through out the season.
- Played with very deep defensive line and no offside trap all season, like this

- Tweaked OIs, adding hard tackling and forcing wide players into the pitch, like this

- Changed corner takers to MCL for right side and MRC for left side. This because I noticed we conceded a few goals from the opposition countering after corners and having only one player back wasn't enough. No idea if this helped, but we're still scoring on corners. The important thing is to not have the wingers take them cause they are the receiver of the short corner.
Overall I'm very happy with the home form, it's almost as good as before. Away form is pretty bad though, but it might just be that this Dortmund team isn't really that good. Also very pleased with winning the CL with this team. I only got Balanta and Romero in January cause we have no money at the start. Balanta only played 4 matches, so it was basically the original squad.
Also very pleased with the main strikers goal scoring. Aubameyang hitting 50 goals. I really don't think he's a 50 goal striker.

You'll have to decide for yourself, but if I had a choice I'm not sure I'd install this patch just yet.
Might try playing a season with a world class team with all these minor tweaks to see how that goes.
