eFootball 2023 developers Konami confirmed that popular game mode Master League will be returning to the franchise in this latest game and we have thought up five ideas which we think would be perfect for it. Show Master League was created back when eFootball was known as Pro Evolution Soccer and allows you to take control of any team in the game and manage them for however long you want, somewhat like Career Mode in FIFA. With this game mode currently unreleased, the gaming community are eagerly waiting for any new details, but sadly for now, there are none. That's why we have thought to give Master League fans their fix by giving our opinion on what could make this game mode even greater than it already was.

With amazing graphics, proper cutscenes, with good narratives, is a simple way to massively improve Master League. 4 In-depth TacticsWe do not want Master League to only allow players to pick the formation when it comes to tactics; they should be able to edit the tactics in a very detailed way. This will give the game mode more of a realistic feel and also make Master League have more of a difficulty level as players will need to perfect and get their tactics right depending on whichever side they are facing. 3 New and Improved Scouting System With the way football games are created now, gamers look for high levelled players in their prime and also young up-and-coming players. To make this work well, Master League needs to allow gamers to have a good scouting system, in which the scouts will return with in-depth reports revealing more than just the player's age and rating. It should highlight other key stats, as well as the player's personality and how they work within a team to make sure managers pick the ideal player for their squads. 2 Randomize Player Appearance and Name When RegeneratedOne thing that eFootball Master League is known for doing is bringing retired players back into the game. Players like Lionel Messi could retire in the 2025/26 season of your eFootball save, so they rebirth him in the form of a young star with huge potential. These 'regens' are easy to find due to the fact that they will still keep the same nationality and appearance. They should randomise these regens with different names, appearances and size in order to make them harder to find. 1 Improve and Extend Edit ModeIn older versions of Master League, players have been able to edit the kits and badges of the club they create. Now, with the rise of sports games and the gaming industry as a whole, players should be given the chance to edit a lot more in the game. It would be amazing if players could edit their stadiums, scoreboards, competitions, crowd tifos and much more. all the files on the smokepatch website are safe and free from viruses or malware, we use BAT scripts to install and run the game, antivirus programs usually mark all BAT-based files as dangerous, and we cannot afford to buy a digital certificate, as the price for that is insane, do not let the antivirus delete or block the installation Frequently Asked Questions and Common Issues: General Notes: * be sure the game is updated to the latest FL version available. * test with an unmodified game to be sure the report is valid ------- 1. Microsoft Windows missing files error: windows might be missing files especially newly installed systems or un-updated systems, below are the potentially needed updates from Microsoft for Windows: - Microsoft DirectX End-User Runtime - be sure your system has updated DirectX software, you can update it from the official Microsoft source: if the directX is not up to date it can cause various issues including failure to start the game or error of missing DLL files - Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable - be sure the visual C++ is updated from the official Microsoft source: this will fix issues like the sider not working or settings not starting. ------- ------- 2. Error (cannot find football life) this means there are game files missing or deleted from the game folder, reinstall the game and make sure the antivirus does not delete any of the game files. ------- ------- 3. Cannot save edits or career mode, settings.exe does not save the changes the game and the settings need access to the (save folder) that is located in the documents folder (some systems use OneDrive documents), if the access is blocked or not granted then the system will prevent writing the save. right click on (FL_2023.exe) and select properties, in the compatibility tab select (run this program as an administrator), then click OK now start the game normally from the usual (FL_2023 start.exe) ------- ------- 4. The starting lineup looks wrong: if you see a strange starting lineup in teams it means the edit file is not installed, if the edit file is not installed you will find other issues.

Lag or crash using a laptop with two GPU for a gaming laptop, there are two GPUs, Football Life needs to run on the powerful one, to be sure the correct one is assigned run settings.exe and check the specification tap assign (FL_2023.exe) and (Settings.exe) in the graphic card software ------- ------- 6. Cannot find the game executable (FL_2023 start.exe) or (FL_2024 start.exe) this is the football life start file, this is a customized script to run the game in a specific sequence and CPU launch commands, this might be flagged by the antivirus and deleted. all the files downloaded and installed from the smokepatch website are safe, all our files are scanned and tested multiple times, and do not let anything delete the game files. a reinstall is needed to recover any deleted files. ------- ------- 7. Error stuck in the loading screen this error is due to selecting a theme in the previous version, themes are not included and this function is not working and is disabled in later versions, to correct this, open the save folder of the game from documents and delete (SYSTEM00000000) run settings.exe so the game would create a new one. ------- ------- 8.
