Here's my criticism:

1: Walkthrough Pirates: As everyone else has said, going through other pirates like some phantoms from the Graveyard? Yeah, I'm not liking this one. 0/5 stars for this update.

2: Redesigns For The Ships: I don't mind the new looks, but War Galleon sailors have to go up/down a flight of stairs just to get to a cannon, then go down/up the same flight of stairs to get away from that Corsair that's just about to bomb you to smitherines.
Redesigns For War Galleon: 4/5
Redesigns Overall: 6/5

3: Water Sounds While Swimming: The old sound was better, and more realistic. 2/5

4: Tortuga Invasions: Well, of COURSE this is gonna be awesome. 5/5

5: SPOILERThe Goliath: BEAUTIFUL LOOKING GOLIATH.[/Spoiler] Much faster, much more fun to fight, so for this, the 25% Hull Defense update is good.
Goliath: OVER 9000!!!!/5
Hull Defense ( Goliath Exception ): 5/5

6: 25% Hull Defense Update: Not the best update. It's a little unfair that NPC Ships get better defense on their ships, while we get more damage in return. 1/5.

7: The Pearl's Hull Defense: Most of you will enjoy this, most of you won't.
The Black Pearl's Hull Defense is that of a Lv45 Juggernaut you will be attacking as a Lv1 Pirate with a Lv1 cannon. You take VERY LITTLE damage, even from the FINAL fort, and the Goliath. I, for one, do NOT like this, because it makes no challenge. But at the Goliath Battle, I had been going Face-to-Face with the Goliath, and before it sunk, the last few shots it made did this much damage
( | | ).
Anyway, 0/5 ( this is sure to also be a bug ) to this update/bug.

8: X Marks The Spot, Literally: Now, the Dig Sites are marked with Xs, and have a color of sand that stands out. This makes no challenge to finding the Treasure Chests. However, if you are one to find them quickly, then sure, I don't mind. But, at least, I say Disney add an option to allow the X-Marks-The-Spot Xs to appear or not ( like whether you want the music/sound on or off ).
3/5

9: Ships sink head-first: Ships now sink going forward, unlike before, how it was the Rear went below the surface of the sea first.
3/5, not my most favorite update, but ok.

10: Graphics updated: Now, medium graphics players will see some of the things you would see with High graphics options ( well, that's me ).
