I have to say, I get the impression that everything really is much more polished, as SI claims. Everything's running smoothly, and the game is SOOO much faster, it's incredible. I have an old but decent processor (2.33 C2D) but the processing speed is at least twice as fast.
AND THEY ADDED PLAYERS STATS FOR EACH GAME, IE PASSES, SHOTS, ETC
sorry for the caps, but i'm flippin' thrilled about that
