I am not very fond about the increased speed (actually I was really missing M:TW's speed slider that allowed you to change speed depending on the battle phase), however, IMHO it is a bit unfair to state that there was no information about the change in game design with regard to battle speed.
To be fair, it was raised, but CA gave what (at least to my reading) amounted to assurances that the gameplay had not been adversely affected: https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showt...213#post575213
