So you are saying when you apply this patch to FIFA 10, it looks weird? Interesting.
Well, comparing the images, I sincerely think it looks way too cartoony, at least in my system, and I'd realy like to make it look photo-realistic. Of course 10 models are much richer than in the 07 games, at least during replays, but during the gameplay itself (most of time), the models looks almost the same, so most of time 07 looks better than 10, IMHO.
I hope we get something like the "Console" patch in 09 "graphics exchager 09", for 10.
At the performance hit, yes there is a loss in my system, nothing that severe with UCL, but I don't think that a performance increase is totally impossible depending on how you video board deals with 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0 shaders. I know it's not the same thing, but in some older games, like Quake, the GL enhanced version would run better at higher resolutions than the older "software" rendered version...
I don't think it's possible to make the pitch greener with this, at least not without oversaturating every color, changing color correction parameters.
I believe that the grass textures are part of stadiums cmp files, if you export them with CM07. As FIFA07 stadiums works with UCL, and their grass looks greener, I'd try to export the FIFA07 stadiums (at least textures), and import them into UCL, overwriting the original stadiums.
But it may happen that the grass textures are already green, and looks gray thanks to lightning "temperature" of fluorescent lamps. I'm just speculating this because I'm not at home now and can't open CM07 and check the textures. In this case, the color correction should be made the same way that "graphics exchanger 09", or "Duong's MGR" changes FIFA09, editing text files that describes the pitch lightning in zdata. In this case, if you believe that FIFA07 colors are ok, it could be worthy try to import these 07 files into UCL, using FileMaster07, but even this could not work (FIFA09 and FIFA10 treatment for these files is different, so it could be different in UCL and FIFA07). Rebuilding fat may not be necessary, if you are only replacing files.
I haven't noticed the crowd color changing, but I've disabled post-processing in cfg_pc_h file, so cutscenes looks like gameplay, and this may prevent it.
Maybe it's worthy to try some FIFA/UCL file exchange. If you don't own FIFA07, the ligntning files, and some textures, could be taken from the demo version. I may give this a try if I get the time...
[edit] I had a look at the game files, and none of my thoughts has been confirmed. I think I've located the effects files, but they have different names, so direct exchange of them may not be possible. And the grass doesn't seem to be part of UCL stadiums patches (CM07). The textures are in zdata36, but the format doesn't look the same.[/edit]
