Not sure whether it is just me or anyone else also notices that during Gameplay (about 1 or 2 times in each half) - there is sort of a mini freeze to the game (almost as if there is a routine running to assess any changes made to the baseline). Im assuming that such a routine may do a +/_ to the baseline (although not considering ALL detail elements) - but high level changes to players, formation and corresponding tactics. This yeilds the odd goals / saves etc ... when we make in-match changes
Yup I do notice a mini freeze in-game. Like my previous post implies, there can be at least one more recalculation i.e simulation performed after the initial one based on what you do in-game.

After each freeze I always expect something major to happen, but I don't really record down if there were any.

And, a bit off topic, but anyone else here realise (last season and the season before) that when someone concedes a corner from a direct result of a corner, it always yields a goal? This season, it rarely results in a goal. So the GE is definitely being tweaked frequently.
