For reference, 95% of everything you see in this video is CPU behaviour - showcasing the variety and depth you will experience when playing against them.
////////////
What's NEW in V22?
+ NEW 'DYNAMIC MOTIVATION' FEATURE
This is based around a recent discovery I made! You will now find the CPU reacts differently to going ahead or behind in a match.
This makes in-game situations much more interesting, varied - and difficult! The results will vary, but you won't feel like the CPU drops their heads as soon as you score the first goal anymore.
Now you will experience a much more intense 90 minutes, where you have to be switched on at all times.
+ CHANGES TO TACKLING/PRESSING
It's now much more difficult to steal the ball and defending feels a lot more manual.
Defending is now more of a manual and measured experience, where you can no longer simply pressure all game long until you win the ball.
The changes implemented here are both mechanical and stat based, so players like Rodri will still stand out a lot more!
This change has a big impact on the overall gameplay.
+ NEW PHYSICALITY
Expect a lot more variety in collisions now. You can now concede fouls purely based on the left stick. If you time your approach wrong,
you can foul - same goes with the CPU. (This can be added to or reduced using the options in the Full Gameplay Package).
+ SLOWER PASSING SPEED
The regular and medium versions see a reduction in passing speeds now and the ball moves much more naturally.
+ DEFENSIVE STABILITY
Defenders no longer charge into attack and leave their position open.
This improvement creates a lot more stability in the overall gameplay experience.
+ IMPROVED CLEARANCES
The ball no longer will travel from one side of the field to the other when you clear it.
+ CPU FREE-KICK ACCURACY REDUCTION
Expect the CPU to find it more difficult to score freekicks.
+ REDUCED BLOCKS / INTERCEPTIONS
Blocks and interceptions will feel more natural now.
+ IMPROVEMENTS TO DRIBBLING
+ LOTS OF SMALL REFINEMENTS AND ADJUSTMENTS

Don't get overwhelmed by the amount of detail and choice in this mod - I've made the process of finding and understanding options easier than ever before.
Each and every single standalone version and option features it's own 'Read Me' file explaining exactly the impact of that particular mod will have on your gameplay experience.
These options can be stacked as much as you like. I've refined and updated many of these explanations for the V22 release and also included some recommended combinations as well!
I've also added in an important 'Options Guide' which answers many FAQs and points you in the right direction based on what gameplay experience you want to achieve.
To be clear, you can use my mod with any other mod - as long as it doesn't include gameplay.

DON'T FORGET TO READ THE .TXT FILES.
If you don't read these files then you will not get the mod set-up as intended and it won't work properly!
Just a couple of important ones to remember especially:
50/50 sliders and NORMAL in-game pace.
Your in-game ref needs to be set to 'VERY LENIENT' for V22 (unless you're using different referee options, of course).
