+ Restrictions (known Issues)
Squad number
in pes 18, teams cannot have more than 32 players as a maximum in the teams (23 for national teams), many teams have near 40 players, these players are mostly youth players and are available as free agents.

Players
in pes18, the game cannot handle the current number of players in the database, the player's number is limited to around 20000 players only, the original SP21 database has +25000.
most players deleted have low rates from free agents.

Teams
in pes18, the game cannot handle the current number of teams in the database, the slots are limited to around 598 teams only (registrable in the edit file), the original SP21 database has 742.
most of the players from the removed teams can be found as free agents.

Leagues:
the leagues in pes18 are less than the newer games, some leagues are not available in SP18, famous teams from these leagues are moved to other teams, teams from brazil's second division are removed.

ACL league
in pes21 this league is located in the main database of the game, in all previous versions this league needs to be in a separate database level, this resulted in these teams missing some players especially players who play in a national team, meaning the players in these clubs that also play in a national team are not assigned to the club, this is to avoid duplications and bugs.


SP18 Addons compatibility:

Faces:
this addon is compatible and can be used with v3 (around 97% of the ID are similar)
a newer face pack converted from a new game might be done, but that will take time due to the huge size of this addon.

Stadium Pack
this addon is pre-installed in v3, no need to apply this addon as it will be installed automatically with sp18 v3

the other addons should work fine, some will get new versions, be sure to read the details of the addon to have any needed information about the addon and its compatibility.

two teams remained fully editable, pes united (Zalgiris Vilnius) and we united (Ceres Negros), you can use these teams to make your own, it is possible to export the team and import it when we update the patch, see tutorial section.
