​

I wanted to clarify what I am trying to create with this project.

The goal is not to make another Football Life mod filled with dozens of random versions of Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and the same popular players.

My project follows eFootball updates. When eFootball releases new Epic, Big Time, Show Time or themed players, I try to recreate the same players for Football Life around the same time.

The cards are not copied blindly. Their statistics, skills, playing styles and overall balance are adapted to PES 2021 and Football Life.

For now, I will not create POTD, POTS or POTM selections. These categories include too many players, and I am currently working alone.

Creating one player requires research, statistics, balancing, skills, animations, visuals and integration into the game. Recreating every POTD, POTS and POTM selection would take too much time for one person and would slow down the entire project.

These categories are not necessarily cancelled forever, but they are not a priority at the moment. I prefer to focus on fewer releases and make them properly rather than create hundreds of rushed or inconsistent players.

There may still be multiple versions of the same player when they represent genuinely different periods of their career or when eFootball officially releases those versions. However, every card should have a clear reason to exist.

The main objective is to bring eFootball-style live content to Football Life while keeping the offline experience of PES 2021.

The project will mainly focus on:

Epic, Big Time and Show Time players

Themed packs released in eFootball

Current players and legends

Historical versions from specific seasons or matches

Statistics and abilities adapted specifically for Football Life

I am not trying to create the largest possible database. I am trying to create a coherent and regularly updated project that follows eFootball releases without sacrificing quality.

Thank you to everyone following the project and understanding the limitations of working alone.

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to play PES with SmokePatch, but I'm having performance issues and I'd like to know if my laptop is simply too weak or if there's anything else I can do to optimize it.

My laptop specs:

• Lenovo V15 G2 ALC
• AMD Ryzen 5 5500U
• Integrated AMD Radeon Graphics
• 8 GB DDR4 RAM
• 1 TB SSD
• Windows 11

I've already tried:

• Setting the game to the lowest graphics settings.
• Lowering the resolution.
• Playing in fullscreen.
• Closing every background application.
• Even using Windows Magnifier to force a lower rendering resolution.

The game is playable, but it never feels really smooth. The biggest slowdowns happen during replays, but gameplay itself also doesn't feel as fluid as I'd like. I'm used to playing PES 2018 on PS3, so maybe my expectations are different.

For comparison, my laptop runs GTA V surprisingly well, so I'm not sure why PES with SmokePatch struggles so much.

Do you think these specs should be enough to run SmokePatch smoothly? Are there any specific settings, patches, AMD tweaks, or optimization tricks that I might have missed?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

are there any good mods for Football Life 2026 that I can install that wont break my game, im playing on a really poor old graphics card but the game runs fine and its super fun, but i have to run it in windowed mode but i want some mods, i only have face pack and previously had a gameplay patch installed but would like to mod the game a bit more to get a less vanilla experience

I have heard of games being fixed, if this is the case is there any point of doing a GK career? I love playing as a gk on fc but the camera angle of football life is unbelievable to me as it feels much more realistic.

i just made a custom player that i edited with good stat, he is now sitting in the crated player list and i want to select him for BAL, is it possible ? do i need maybe to transfer him to an existing club first ?

i just want to do a BAL without grinding stat for fun

I can't ignore him everytime he shows up 😂

I'm playing the 2026 version and a lot of clrearly clean takes are fouled and the ref seems to give my team an astounding number of yellow cars for studd that shouldn't even be a foul to begin with. ANy way to fix this?

I tried everything added the game to steam, ds4 for windows etc. I can use my controller to navigate in steam so it works and connected to my pc but game is not detecting it

Hello, I just installed the mod after playing like 200 hours of Rematch. I played a lot of Fifa back in early 2010s but this is my first foray into PES engines. I was just wondering what settings people use. I was a full manual fifa player back in the day and am curious if there's like a list of settings most of you change when playing this game.

I think I have everything on manual but shooting feels realllly hard I think ive scored one goal in like 6 matches

Here I have this guy with 127 shot power, I dont really feel that his shot power is abnormal fast. I tested with 99 too, nothing just changes. Even at other games like Efootball, i tested to make shot power 103 but feels like shot power is useless at this game.

This is the group I got, for me it's the group of death because of Italy, but what do you say, is it the group of death or what?

Exactly as the title says. I've been playing this game for the longest and I thought this was a normal thing until my friends got the game and showed me that it wasn't. The only mod im using aside from facepacks etc is Soccer Revolution, and I can't find anything about it having easter eggs anywhere. Does anyone else have this?

Every time the game finishes my game crashes,and people tell me its cause of this font,is there any way to fix this or no?

Hello! So a year ago someone made this server to help and assist new people of Pes 2021 or Football life in general but sadly the server was left and it wasn't ever looked after, I have then since taken ownership of it and am looking to revive it and make it a area for everyone to be welcomed who needs help or just wants to find some people to play with or even discuss new mods and other various topics on the game!

I am Code so if you want to be apart of this server its the same invite in the other post but I'll post one here anyways for you guys, thank you!

If you need any help feel free to use the help-me forum channel
