No more power forwards and snipers in club with super pokes and 75 stick check. Also like how I can turn around now without feeling like I'm in mud all the time.
But, that's my opinion of it, they aren't huge differences, but enough for me to like it.

I play completely offline, and not BAP. I'm sure this game is actually quite enjoyable with multiple players (and indeed the way it is structured/programmed almost seems to demand 6 vs 6).
There are only two good things to come out of the patch/tuner.
1) It seems like it is easier to hit.
2) Agility without the puck.
Everything else just seems like a giant regression to an already frustrating game. I know a lot of the things I am experiencing weren't officially "changed" in the patch, but any alteration to code or core fundamentals with have a resonating effect throughout the whole. All those disadvantages that the User has in comparison with the AI seems enhanced, or at least more obvious.
It also feels like they have nerfed scoring from places that were high-percentage and realistic before the patch. They say that they made it more rewarding to shoot in the slot, but I don't see that at all. If I do, somehow, miraculously get anywhere near the slot without the AI defense using it's strip-puck or auto-hit powers, I either A) miss the net by a mile, B) have every shot end up in a fantastic save, or C) have the goalie suck up what used to be a legit chance at a rebound. As if super goalies on creative plays weren't enough...
I tried to go back to older tuners, but the effects seem to remain.
Right now I am praying hard to the God of Common Sense to please grant me the ability to quit playing a game that I haven't enjoyed. Why hast thou forsaken me?
