Settle down there guy, there are things in life to get outraged over but this is not one of them.
And pseudo wasn't a cheat or an exploit. Pseudo was just the basic idea that you can sit a starter early if you want to, and you're not obligated to tell the other manager who you plan on bringing in second. Pseudo is just a natural counter to overplatooned rosters. Counters and strategic interplay are what make a game interesting, and pseudo was one of the few options available to managers who wanted to try to gain a small edge. And even without the 4IP/BF18 limit, the new early bat subs already would have nerfed the effectiveness of pseudo but in a realistic and more competitively interesting way.
The overall disappointment a lot of top players like api feel is that the total removal of pseudo, training, and stuff boosts really harms the actual strategic landscape and limits both the types of players you can use and the ways you can deploy them. That sends a message about the kind of vision the devs have for PT, which is more significant than any one change here.
The reality is that the high level players of PT are basically in agreement that these changes reduce overall tactical and strategic complexity in PT. It's also less realistic to not have some of these options, but that's not the main idea. There are some gains too, like new sliders and substitutions, but the big removals seem more significant.
