It was, but there were no AI changes in the ME. This is related to a match divergence message, as mentioned in the patch notes.

running so much slower since the update - I assume this is a known issue to them?

 

[SVB]

No changes to the ME , I've noticed a slight change but I also did in previous editions where they didn't make any changes so maybe it's just me ??????

Fixed rare issue where the board would ask you if you'd like to buy the stadium when a stadium purchase was already in progress

Didnt know this was even in the game, Has anyone been asked if they want to buy the stadium before my last save on fm16 i managed Blackburn for 30 seasons and never heard of such a thing

Yeah, its been a board request for a while. Only available if the club doesn't already own the stadium. Like any board request, the board may come to you to offer it if it makes sense.
