I’ve been playing master league for a while and this has been extremely frustrating. When I’m playing strong teams at the top of the table, the match is often balanced or even dominated by my team.

However when I play against relegation teams without even a player with 80 overall, sometimes they even have 60s overalls in their formation, they absolutely dominate the game, and the script it’s always the same: they score in the first 30 minutes, then go all out on defense and at that point I just can’t play. They block all my passes and are insanely good at tackling (just getting near them means losing the ball, they win every fight for the ball).

So basically I just keep getting destroyed 1-0 by shitty teams while comfortably beating good teams. This has been extremely unrealistic (which kills the immersion) and especially extremely frustrating.

Is there anything I’m doing wrong? Because I just can’t explain how this happens

I’ve started a Master League with Wrexham using PES players like Giorza, Gios and Hettich on Superstar difficulty, but I’m still consistently running into the same issue.

I’m a very possession-heavy player, but I feel like I shouldn’t be able to dominate possession in 99% of matches, often getting 70%+ possession.
It starts to feel a bit stale because most teams seem happy to sit back, defend deep and play on the counter

I’d really like to have more variety. I want teams to press me higher, come after me, try to dominate possession themselves and actually attack me, rather than almost every team allowing me to comfortably control the game

I’m currently using Holland’s Simulation gameplay mod

Has anyone else had this issue with Holland’s Simulation?

Would you recommend switching to Twiggys or something else or changing my gameplay settings, or using a particular gameplay/tactics combination?

I really like how Holland’s mod makes the passing feel, so ideally I’d like to keep that while making the CPU more aggressive and varie

What would u recommend?

So I was playing my master league for some time then closed the game and installed some adboard but now my whole game is sped up. Gameplay, scoreboard, entrances, menus, cutscenes everything has became sped for some reason, ive tried to launch with any mods or sider but it still doesent work. Yesterday it was working fine but now everythinjg is 2x speed if anyone has a fix i would really appreciate it because now the game feels unplayable

does anyone have any suggestions or ideas for a gameplay mod that is more suitable for more skill moves than regular gp. as in making it more likely for skill moves to work, i mean

Hi guys, been having this problem for a while and I saw someone else had it on the SPFL Facebook too, but their post was locked before anyone found a solution.

Basically, whenever I try to edit the kits for one of the fully-customisable teams (Ceres Negros, Zamora FC and Zalgiris Vilnius) having loaded up the game without Sider (directly from FL2026.exe), it lets me edit the home kit but not the away, third or goalkeeper kits. This is very frustrating as I wanted to create a ML with my own custom team.

This has never happened before so I assume it is a v2.2 bug. Does anyone have a fix?

i tried like 2 times now and same problem , i have like 250 storage so its not that, any suggestion plz, im on hdd btw , and even tried 7zip and still same problem

I have spent the last couple of days attempting to get fl2026 to work on my pc, but to no avail - I have uninstalled and reinstalled it several times (deleted all files); updated my graphics drivers; launched in compatibility mode, administrator etc., disabled antivirus protection, downloaded c++ software. How on earth am I supposed to get this to work, any advice?

Specs are:

nvidia 3060 rtx

Intel Core i5-4690K

16 gb ram

Running on windows 10

Im new to the football life 26 modding so bear with me. I've downloaded the Kelchi stadium packs but they are not showing up in game. Here's what I've done:

1. Install SP FL26 and the 2.2 patch

2. Installed 1.4 Essentials Mod Pack from jusseppe (https://evoweb.uk/threads/spfl26-1-4-essentials-mod-pack-unpacked-recommended-addons.103385/)

3. Downloaded the stadium packs from Kelchi and placed them under SiderAddons\content\stadiums e.g SiderAddons\content\stadiums\Spain. (from https://gofile.io/d/i4L4jk)

4. Downloaded the map_teams.txt, map_competition.txt, and the map_comp_finals.txt from Kelchi as well and placed those in the SiderAddons\content\stadiums path (replacing the per-existing ones). I also removed the competitions/leagues I didnt download from the txt files.

I launch the game via the "FL 2026 start.exe" which seems to launch the essentials pack fine. When I go to an exhibition match and select a team, Borussia Dortumund for example, and select the stadium option, I see that it is alreaady set to play in the "correct" stadium but there is no preview image which I swear I've seen show up for others. When I start the match, it loads some generic stadium. The stadium is located in "SiderAddons\content\stadiums\Germany\Signal Iduna Park" and I have

'''
126, 051, Signal Iduna Park, Germany\Signal Iduna Park # Borussia Dortmund

'''

in my map_teams.txt file

What am I doing wrong?
