It would be a huge exaggeration to say that the Little Busters anime is a drastic deviation from the original. Ignoring condensation of material, it's a faithful adaptation in most ways, and the screenwriter clearly aimed to do the material justice.
Nevertheless, changes have been made to convert a multi-route game scenario into a continuous one - or rather, I should say that they're structural changes with the potential to impact a viewer's notion of some underlying character development. As the saying goes, it's the difference that 1% can make, and these changes annoy die-hard fans who feel that the original structure and balance are especially meaningful/ingenious.
Edit: This isn't the best comparison, but you can try thinking of a story that's told in non-chronological order. Provided that there is a specific meaning behind the original arrangement, part of the author's intention may be incorrectly conveyed (and perhaps contradicted) if the story is adapted chronologically, even if most parts are faithfully retold.

On some forums, I find that anime-only viewers are plain bored. They think that the show moves too slowly, and they don't understand the appeal of the characters and everyday events.
It's easy to understand why the anime staff covered Komari's arc so early. They had to prove to viewers (who may drop a show if they aren't engaged within the first few weeks) that there's more to Little Busters than friends hanging around, getting into fights, practicing baseball, doing dumb things, etc. It doesn't seem to have been particularly successful (and the associated changes annoyed VN fans), but they tried.
