“FL24” or “Football Life 2024” is a football simulation game designed for fans of the career modes found in previous Pro Evolution Soccer (PES) series. It’s part of the SmokePatch updates and introduces enhanced features that focus on offering an enriched single-player experience rather than online gaming elements. The game is a fan-driven project aiming to continue the legacy of deep, engaging football career simulations with updated databases for the 2023/24 season, improved gameplay mechanics, and enhanced graphics and audiovisuals.
The game provides updated team rosters and competition settings, and it has removed the away goals rule in line with real-world football regulations. The gameplay has seen significant tweaks, enhancing aspects like passing, crossing, free kicks, and overall player AI, making the simulation more realistic. There are options for “Realistic” and “Arcade” gameplay modes, each offering distinct experiences either focused on simulation accuracy or a more relaxed and enjoyable playstyle reminiscent of classic PES games.
