- added the 2nd division league of Germany

modifying the leagues structure is a challenging, most of the leagues format (like champions league) remains the same format, the 2.bundesliga is added for the first time and its stable, with some drawbacks:

- only 14 teams (out of 18) are added in this league for stability reasons.
- this league cannot be viewed in edit mode, but the teams in this league can be viewed or edited in edit mode, located in the classics and others category
- the first game of the season shows (day19), instead of day 1
- competition server heavily customized based on (Gerlamp) server.

Note about 2. Bundesliga:
starting from version 1.2

Due to the irregularities in the new league schedule, that can lead to a crash moving to the first league, the promotion from this league has been deactivated until a propre solution is applied.

users can manually re-activate it if wanted, rename and use the OLD regulations located here:
SP Football Life 2025\SiderAddons\content\competitions


Gameplay:

many accumulated updates to the GP since last version.

- the gameplay is made to compensate for the new Konami style of stats (higher stats for lower tier players)
- the gameplay is less automatic than PES, users can switch to manual controls (FUMA) for total freedom, or switch to assisted for a more automated gameplay.
- the gameplay is tested for a long term career modes.
- try the difficulty that suits you best, the most difficult level (legend) can be unlocked after winning 5 games in super-star level.
- users can switch to default PES21 gameplay using the switcher (located in the game folder), or tryout other gameplay from other sources but be sure it made for FL or PES21.
