The visual experience is fully immersive:
The "New" aspect extends to audio. The patch injects authentic terrace chants from the 90s—Ole, ole, ole, Baggio! Baggio!—and replaces the menu music with retro eurodance and rock hits from that decade.
On the pitch, “Normal D” manifests. A through ball to a 1998 Gabriel Batistuta does not result in an immediate CPU tackle from behind. Instead, the defender (say, Fernando Hierro) retreats, jockeys, and attempts to block the shot. The “New” aspect becomes apparent in the referee’s tolerance: hard sliding tackles from the 90s (the era of the “reducer”) are met with yellow cards, not reds—a balance of realism and playability.
