main changes:
- enhanced passes (including FUMA)
- keepers will have a harder time blocking far shots 
- other enhancements and weeks

* manual controls in FL23 are fully manual (FUMA in PES21 is slightly assisted)
* the previous gameplay versions are still available in the switcher as an alternative option.
* the gameplay installed with this update is more refined than the pre-released BETA.
* FL23 difficulty levels are slightly harder than their equivalent PES21 difficulties



- added more updated kits
creating kits takes time, so kits are updated gradually in every update, we cannot create all the new kits for all teams all the time, this version contains new kits for 30 clubs and includes many minor kits enhancement following user feedback.



- new optimized executables
football life 2023 can run normally on all types of processors without user intervention. 
the latest version has performance enhancement and works on all types of CPUs.

Know issues:

- argentine league:
a reported problem in this league due to adding more teams than the league schedule can handle, this causes the Argentinian league to finish before all the games have been played.
as a temporary solution, promoted teams are placed in other American teams, and can replace any team in the league using edit competition mode.

- problem with created players and disabling 1st transfer window in ML:
there is a known issue when creating new players in edit mode and assigning them to the master league, it will cause a contracts problem
also, the 1st transfer window is always active, cannot deactivate this option for the same reason.

there is a temporary workaround for both cases by reducing the starting year in ML and BAL

installation:

1- extract and run (SPFL23_300.exe) as administrator and select the football life 2023 folder.
2- start the game from (FL_2023 start.exe)


Antivirus false positive:
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 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.
* don't do this unless you trust the source.
