SP Football Life 2027 Discussion Thread (PC)

We don't sticky mod-related threads in this sub. That's basically it. SPFL 27
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.
