Is there a standalone patch with all the EURO 2024 Stuff (stadiums, graphics etc( or is it just like VirtuaRed?

EvoWeb patch has Euro2024 added with teams, new kits, lineups etc.

You can get a Euro2024 stadium pack in the stadium section.

Scoreboards, adboards and ballserver also in the editing area. And there are other things.

Its more satisfying building Your own, go on You know You want to.

So guys, some advice, thiugh im enjoying PES 21, cant help to feel its quite limited, and a bit stiff, but i want to keep playing PES and arent interested in any FIFA atm, any mods or something making it a bit more "lose" or feel a bit more "free"?

Or should i go FL?
If yes, is that a stand alone installment, or do you just import it as a patch?
im playing a patched version as is, smoke patch 3.
Any help or pointers would be great

I use FL but i don't use the gameplay mod in it... Find it way to end to end. I've been having banger games with twiggy FUMA mod with -2 speed and 30 min halves. You'd might ask why play a match for an hour but it gives matches a story. The ebb and flow of the game paired with the mod is just chef kiss

So there's not too many goals? Sounds interesting..

I've always played 20 min halves , think it's the min you can play
Will take your tip and look it up
Cheers

Yeah the last match i've had ended 2-2 with the opposing team having 13 shots in total and for me 11 shots. Was a scoreless stalemate going into the second half. Absolute J-League classic tbf.

Oh that's great! I've been playing FIFA 16 lately on PC after playing PES for a while, but I think I will pop back to PES at some point and give that a try...

Please help me with this I get error when I go to edit mode. It says in other to make changes in edit mode you must first create edit data. T

A thing PES 21 got right is just the weight of the ball and pace of players... Saw this on my feed today and it just looks and feels like something straight from the game.

The game is considered abandonware but it's not open source. What FL team doing is basically a piracy. Their lucky konami don't care & not as aggressive as shitendo. Anyway you already got your own answer. Virtuared patch doesn't support for pirate version. Maybe in future ? who knows. So please ask about virtuared patch related in their own thread.

This community cannot and will not offer any support for any cracked versions of PES 2021 (like CPY). While we are aware that it has become virtually impossible to buy a legit key for the game (as of February 2023), please be reminded that using a non-original cracked version of the game might lead to crashes and various other instabilities when combined with user created mods and patches from our Editing area. There's simply nothing that can be done about it other than owning and using the original Steam version of the game! Therefore, please refrain from seeking help/support if you don't have a legal Steam activated version of the game as all it does is wasting everyone's time on something that simply cannot be fixed by any of us. Please don't expect or even demand our content creators to check their work for compatibilities. Evoweb has always favored original game versions as baseline for mods and patches, the fact that Konami effectively stopped distributing the game and many new users feeling excluded now won't change our stance.

It is, but I dont think that should be like that.

I mean there are a lot of games that are removed from official stores and you can't get them. Why not play some amazing games just because someone "removed them"? I mean did I have a proper PC to play PES back then, I am buying all my games for XBOX and now I can play PES 21 but I can't get it (I dont even want to talk about resellers who charge like 200e for old game).

So I dont think those games should be considered as piracy. I am not talking about this forum I am talking generally, just my loud thinking.

I do understand the rules. From what I thought to know I just simply concluded that maybe your stance on the situation changed in the mean time. Other than that I didn't necessarily ask for a fix, but maybe a "workaround" like switching of certain modules in the sider or something along those lines.

Again: I also don't condone piracy and I tried to get a proper key. However there just simply are none anymore since even if I was willing to pay that kind of money I didn't find any that I would be able to legally activate in my country..

 

[Hayes]

My point still stands whether you like it or not it's still considered a piracy, even in some country if you had original license of it, you can keep "pirate" stuff as backup.

It's not im against it. I solely blame this one to konami only. The game should be allowed to buy it from legally. Though i understand there some kind licensing nightmare which prevent them to keep selling it. Sports game is really weird.

It isn't going to happen. CPY game has an unstable .exe due to being bypassed.

Your free to do Your own experiments by switching off all modules, then reintroducing one by one until You get a crash, that way You know whatever caused that is not compatible with cpy game.

Truly the conversation ends here, please do not invite further discussion here or in any other threads.

I love playing against human opponents and I am terribly nostalgic for the online seasons of PES 2021.

I know that, even with the official servers turned off, it is possible to play online through remote play solutions. Is there a community or server that brings together those who want to play this old title in multiplayer mode ?

There will come a point when the very thing making you money will start losing you sales. The overall sentiment for pay to win is becoming increasingly more negative/toxic, especially when it's at the expense of genuine progress in the games.

If they begin improving the games again, people will accept the pay to win. If another game comes in and makes a game people actually want to play, both can and will exist, and it'll be profitable.

The main issue is Konami have accepted their niche and EA have zero incentive to actually improve their games. Without any challengers the genre is cooked.

And using official branded kits, balls, boots and music in mods is also breach of copyright and piracy. But everyone seems to give that a pass. You can't have it both ways

should be through parsec i guess, and i think there was a "tournament" set up here a while back, could be for that efootball shit, not sure
Otherwise set up a list/post for it here yourself (a new thread)

I watched a lot of videos of PES 21 and played myself a lot, but long-distance shooting is really bad. Not so many real-life goal screamers that you can see every day in football matches.

90% and more are goals inside the box, and most of them are repetitive and the same.

From over 25k mapped goals from 2014 - 2020 across multiple leagues (EPL, Bundesliga, Serie A, La Liga, and MLS), 82% were scored from within the box. There aren't nearly as many howlers from outside the box as people think. We assume the numbers are higher because those are the "highlight goals" were shown, but the analysis doesn't back it up.

I just ran the math on the 2024 Euros and 84% of those goals were scored within the box.

Absolutely. Unlike previous games, I've seen to many times the AI will not shoot even when it has space and time to do so just because it's outside of the box. It's even more frustrating because I played fixed cursor so I rely on my teammates to score as well.

In fact it annoyed me so much that I actually looked for a solution. And the only one that I could come up with was give every midfielder and attacker the com playing style "long ranger". Currently I've done it for all the teams in the J-League, where I'm currently playing, and the number of shots from distance has increased. I think it's improved the way my matches play out overall. More shots = more action and more goals.

I'm curious what are the stats for number of shots outside the box as opposed to goals outside the box. I think that he's getting at the fact the AI pretty much never shoots from outside the box, which is something I agree with, in my experience.

It should also be considered how those happen; I think the lack of goals from outside the box irl is because the way teams defend usually means less space for people to shoot. Whereas, at least in my experience with this game, a lot of times the AI allows attackers, on the ball, into spaces just outside the box that could produce quality shot and goals.

Chances inside the box are always going to be the better chances and those are the ones you want to create the most of. But it shouldn't mean that long distance shooting should be pretty much nonexistant as they have been in this game, until I made the changes I made.

I'd be interested in this too! There are PES discord groups for online gaming. I think most use reworked PES 5-6 servers though. Although no reason why can't use remote play.

-2 speed is a no go, goalkeeper dives in slowmotion Matrix like, even at -1, animations take a dip aswell.

Honestly a really tough match against a really defensive Gamba Osaka. Didn't manage to score until the 81st minute and that was due to a defensive error. Scored against a few minutes later and it was probably the best goal I've scored in a while.

im glad you enjoy this game, but after years and years of playing this game, it just feels limited, and the ai doesn t score varied goals..... it is really bad no matter what u do to gameplay, i don t know how people can enjoy this....

Does anybody run this game with sider in windows 11? What’s the performance like? I’m in the boat of using windows 10 and possibly being forced to upgrade next year and I’m worried all my patched pes games won’t work.

The latest VirtuaRed patch has some classic club teams from spefiic years, DNAI probably has more of what you're looking for, he has extensive all star teams with exclusive custom faces for all but it's a paid patch which you can find if you search him on Patreon

There's also the PES 2006 patch which is a remake of PES 6 for PES 2021, also a paid patch.

Finally if you have PES 2020, there's the Ultra Realistic Legends patch which is free and is in the PES 2020 editing section on this site.
