📢 Football Life 2027 is in progress

Football Life 2027

hello,

The new season version is underway, we usually target mid-october as a release date, but this time it might be delayed due to the intensive work required, we will have a clearer estimate as we get closer to release.

Below is an overview of the major features and changes planned for FL27

-----------------------------
-----------------------------

FL27 switcher features:

FL27 switcher

FL27 Theme Colors

The new theme for FL27 comes with the traditional SP red color palette, this version includes six additional color palettes to choose from, so users can select their preferred color to match their mood or RGB setup, this switcher will apply the color to all theme-related files and text.

-----------------------------

Render lighting

FL27 introduces a new lighting system, cinematics and replays will use a warm light that looks great in cutscenes, but will dynamically switch to the clearer, more natural lighting at match start, this provides the best balance between cinematic presentation and realistic gameplay visuals, this option in the switcher will give users the ability to switch to full natural or warm lighting without the dynamic change.

This option applies to all pre-installed stadiums and the new stadium packs addon (currently in progress). previous stadium packs (and probably most third-party stadiums) carry their own global illumination files (LUT). In this case the switcher will not change anything in these stadiums and will use whatever lighting the stadium has.

Gameplay

The gameplay section in the EXE is now almost completely mapped, and this will have a massive impact on how we apply tweaks.

The gameplay is divided into EXE functions and an external bin for GP parameters (dt18). while the external bin contains the definitions and values, it does not define valid limits or explain how different systems interact, because of this most edits are based on trial and error, which often leads to unintended side effects.

Now we know how each function affects the others, so changes will be targeted rather than experimental.

football life gameplay changes:

- adapt player stats to compensate for the different eFootball rating scale.

- more tachtical demanding gameplay.

- more up to date plays and tendencies to match real life.
- other aspects like freekicks, refereeing, stamina, ext...

here is the current beta version for testing DOWNLOAD BETA TESTER

- copy and replace dt18 file in the game data folder

- works on all FL versions

the switcher give users the ability to use the original gameplay for pes21, it might feel a bit old and arcadish but it is as fun as ever.

-----------------------------

Controller Buttons

this is the same option as always, select the prefered controller buttons, default one is the PS5 controller buttons

-----------------------------

Classic Teams

this option controls whether the classic teams (legend players) would be available in career mode, we have also added a new option:

1. OFF = classic teams will be available in exhibition mode, legends would not be available in career mode.

2. In africa = classic teams would not be available in exhibition or edit mode but legend players are available in all new career modes.

3. In Europe = this is a new option, same as the previous option, but classic teams can be selected and playable in master league, and will also be available for those who play (random selection) mode.

-----------------------------

Lockdown

this new feature turnes every stadiums into lockdown mode, there will be no crowd/supporters, the cheers and chants will still be there, but can be muted in the game audio settings.

Lockedown ON

-----------------------------

Replays Logo

a simple option that removes the replay logo for those who simply can't wait those extra couple of seconds :)

-----------------------------

Competitions and regulations

Competition scheduling is one of the most difficult systems in this game, for years we were limited by hidden engine restrictions that caused crashes or broken schedules whenever league structures were modified.

Football Life has always prioritized a stable, endless Career Mode over experimental changes, because of that, many competition updates were intentionally postponed until reliable solutions were found.

FL27 finally introduces the first major breakthroughs in this area.

Changes confirmed in FL27 v1:

France competitions:

the france leagues (first and second) division had a hard limit of 39 teams, changing it to 36 teams (18 in each division) would bug the frensh cup as it cannot handle less than that, the solution was to add 3 teams from 3rd division to the second division so the number would pass the cup requirments, while functional, it consumed three valuable team slots and reduced immersion.

in FL27 this is now resolved, both leagues will have the correct 18 teams with a working 36 teams frensh cup.

Argentine competitions:

the argentine league was limited to 26 teams, we had to relocat the remaining 4 teams to (other american clubs), otherwise the scheduel would crash at the second season due to missing matches.

this league will have all 30 teams in FL27, with a working scheduel that starts in winter instead of the old summer calandar.

MLS:

this league have only 20 teams out of the currently 30 participants, anymore teams added will bug the scheduel, in FL27 this league will have all 30 teams, with a working scheduel that starts in winter as expected for the 2027 MLS season.

Planned for future versions:

UCL new format

UEL new format

World cup new format

Copa america 4th group

New league addition

African cup of nations format

ACL new format

* we are also researching ways to increase the game's current team limit (749 teams). until this becomes possible, some national teams and clubs may need to be omitted to make room for the new upcoming changes.

-----------------------------

New season version general updates:

Database
the database is constantly under review, however in every new season version the teams selection changes and promoted teams will replace demoted ones, the tactics and formations are reviewed, player ratings are updated using eFootball as a baseline as it is consistent with the game engine.

Graphics and audio visuals:
every new season get new content, new graphics across the board, this is the largest files in term of size, these round up to about 8GB on their own, alongside the updated pre-installed addons makes it impossible to have an update version, it would exceed 12GB while the whole thing is about 20GB.

Internal engine (technical)
the game EXE requires a yearly update, as multiple internal systems must be adjusted to keep Career Mode and Edit Mode functioning correctly, we used to rely on a Lua add-on to start Career Mode at the desired year, but that was only a cosmetic solution, as the internal logic would still calculate contracts as if the game was based in 2020, without updating the engine itself, Edit Mode cannot be used properly to transfer players, this was corrected in FL26 and will continue to be updated every year to keep Edit Mode fully functional.

One of the systems that must be updated every year is the development and analysis base year, if it is not updated player development will not function correctly, and the AI will lose its ability to adapt to your tactics throughout the season, this was also corrected in FL26 (through updates) and will continue to be maintained yearly, it is just one of many internal systems that need to be updated to keep the game running correctly. (In Career Mode, check My Team Info > Club Performance > Season. If the year shown there does not match your current Career Mode year, the AI will lose its ability to adapt.)

More information about the new season content will follow...

향후 버전 계획:

UCL 새 형식
UEL 새 형식
월드컵 새로운 형식
코파 아메리카 4조
새로운 리그 추가
아프리카 네이션스컵 형식

* 우리는 또한 게임의 현재 팀 한도(749개 팀)를 늘리는 방법을 연구하고 있습니다. 이것이 가능해질 때까지, 다가오는 새로운 변화에 대비하기 위해 일부 국가대표팀과 클럽을 제외해야 할 수도 있습니다.

새 시즌 버전 일반 업데이트:

데이터베이스
데이터베이스는 지속적으로 검토되고 있지만, 새로운 시즌 버전마다 팀 선택이 변경되고 승격된 팀이 강등된 팀을 대체하며 전술과 포메이션이 검토되고, 게임 엔진과 일치하는 eFootball을 기준으로 선수 평점이 업데이트됩니다.

그래픽 및 오디오 비주얼:
새 시즌마다 새로운 콘텐츠와 전반적인 그래픽이 제공되며, 이는 크기 면에서 가장 큰 파일입니다. 이 파일들은 자체적으로 약 8GB까지 반올림되며, 업데이트된 사전 설치된 애드온과 함께 업데이트 버전을 사용하는 것이 불가능합니다. 전체 용량은 약 20GB이지만 12GB를 초과할 수 있습니다.

내부 엔진(기술)
게임 EXE는 커리어 모드와 편집 모드를 올바르게 작동시키기 위해 여러 내부 시스템을 조정해야 하기 때문에 매년 업데이트가 필요합니다. 예전에는 Lua 애드온을 사용하여 원하는 연도에 커리어 모드를 시작하곤 했지만, 내부 로직이 2020년에 게임을 기반으로 한 것처럼 계약을 계산하고 엔진 자체를 업데이트하지 않으면 편집 모드를 플레이어를 전송하는 데 제대로 사용할 수 없기 때문에 외형적인 해결책에 불과했습니다. 이는 FL26에서 수정되었으며, 편집 모드를 완전히 작동시키기 위해 매년 계속 업데이트될 예정입니다.

매년 업데이트해야 하는 시스템 중 하나는 개발 및 분석 기준 연도입니다. 업데이트되지 않으면 플레이어 개발이 제대로 작동하지 않으며, AI는 시즌 내내 여러분의 전술에 적응할 수 있는 능력을 잃게 됩니다. 이는 FL26에서도 업데이트를 통해 수정되었으며, 앞으로도 매년 유지될 것입니다. 이는 게임을 올바르게 실행하기 위해 업데이트가 필요한 여러 내부 시스템 중 하나입니다. (커리어 모드에서는 My Team Info > Club Performance > Season을 확인하세요. 표시된 연도가 현재 커리어 모드 연도와 일치하지 않으면 AI는 적응 능력을 잃게 됩니다.)

새 시즌 콘텐츠에 대한 자세한 정보는 다음과 같습니다...
