Regarding Sticky thread:

I can understand that, initially, this may have just been a patch for PES 2021 in a standalone release game, but by now (IMHO) is it should be considered a full fledged new PES game much like the transition from PES 2018 to PES 2019, and so on, up to 2021; it even features custom graphics and new structure about cups and leagues with new gameplays each year. As a base game and a point of reference, PES 2021 is now obsolete. That said, I respect your opinion if you disagree or don’t believe it warrants a spot among the sticky threads in this section.

regarding my tag to you in relation to Hayes answers:

My earlier point was prompted by the fact that Hayes seemed to be disparaging the Smoke Team simply because they accept donations for their hard work. Given that no one is under any obligation to contribute, I didn’t feel such criticism was appropriate.

I essentially written at Hayes to ask you whether it’s fair to criticize the Smoke Team as if to suggest that they should be "banned" and/or disregarded from evoweb, in this way here, especially considering that, every single year, they provide us for free with what is effectively a "new game", offering an excellent foundation for further modding, complete with a fully updated database of new season

Thank you for saying it, master... For a while it's been realized that the original Steam.exe is pretty much "un-moddable", for whatever the reason(s). Personally, I don't even remember if PES 21 had Denuvo implemented back when it came out... when CPY cracked it, maybe he cracked the current version at the time and subsequent updated versions were not cracked, and so forth. Original Steam gameplay mods work a little bit at first, but then it just fails to work. Completely. No matter the system file, no matter the .lua scripts. It's just impractical.

So yeah, I agree that the future lies in standalones that use a cracked .exe (or .exe's) as a base. Those being FL 27, or MES (that hopefully comes out sooner rather than later) or some other, and so forth. That being said, I also totally agree that the Smoke team should accept donations for their hard work. Donating isn't mandatory. You do it by heart. Nothing wrong with that, on the opposite.

Hey

I read the first post and can't see anything about English leagues.

I'm a Sheffield Wednesday supporter so reallllllly hoped league one would be included in FL27.

Are they?

Much love from a new player.
 
Hot takes:

- African Cup of Nations and Asian Cup are still having 16 teams. I don't know how those can be increased to 24.
- AFC Champions League Elite is still in the old format (32 teams with 8 groups)
- Copa Libertadores is still taking MLS and Liga MX teams, and UEFA competitions are still taking Russian teams (which means I need to continue to my Realistic ML Participation add-on :) )
- While playing ML, I realized that firstly the game shows 10 UEFA CL/UEL group stage games. And, while Europa League play-offs could be successfully removed by SmokePatch, Champions League still has 8 play-off games. And, the player really needs to win the matchup. I started a Galatasaray carreer, got Benfica at play-off. Simulated it for trial. Benfica advanced to the group stage. I waited Galatasaray to be automatic participant of the CL group stage, but no, I got the EL draw at the end. So CL play-off stage really matters. And after the draw, group stage games reduced back to 8
- I can understand that Hapoel Be'er Sheva is not in the game (Dido is Palestinian) but keeping Other European Teams section almost the same as in FL26 (Thankfully Sabah FK and Viking FK are added) is frustrating, when thinking that Swiss Format ability will be the most checked feature of the game. Levski Sofia, NK Celje, Lillestrøm, Viktoria Plzeň and Ararat-Armenia are also not present in the game (and I am pretty sure that the users will try adding these teams via FL27 Mod Studio when it's out to keep the UEFA competitions authentic :) )
- Due to the logic of SmokePatch that making Other African Teams entries as Classic Teams entries, El Ahly Cairo and Esperance Tunis are listed on Other Asian Teams list. This will make these teams eligible for the AFC Champions League Elite. And I couldn't understand why Wydad Casablanca is absent in this edition to be honest :)
- Same attitude is valid for other "Other ... Teams" sections too. Seems nothing much have changed from FL26 in terms of teams in these lists. Shabab Al Ahli, Al-Shamal, Neftchi Fergana, Al-Quwa Al-Jawiya, Al Wasl, Công An Hà Nội, Ratchaburi and Newcastle Jets are not AFC Champions League list Always Ready, Cusco, Deportivo La Guaira and Universidad Central are not in Other Latin American Teams list
-Zenit Sankt Peterburg, Slavia Praha and Trabzonspor and UEFA Europa League still seems not get the badge/logo updates
-Trendyol Süper Lig still has the old logo wipe and scoreboard/menu graphics
 
At the moment for me this first version is a big disappointment... It’s just a bare bones foundation to restart from, still it needsof patches in too many area, database included...

so we have to wait for future updates...

you can install it to try, but if you already have FL2026 with some evoweb custom updated patches dont unistall it to take only FL2027 unitll new futures update can solve "FL2027v1" issues!!!

I'm gratefull for effort, but we are still far from the quality previously achieved also thanks to patches of our evoweb editing section for fl_2026

Hi, could someone help me? My squad setups aren't working correctly—goalkeepers are appearing in forward positions, and forwards are ending up as goalkeepers. I’ve installed Football Life 27 from scratch. Can anyone help me, or perhaps share their `KONAMI/SAVE/edit00` folder with me?
