SOME IMPORTANT DETAILS...... (Patreon)
Content
Hi all, I wanted to make a quick post as there seems to be some confusion from a few members regarding the way the mod works.
I've mentioned these things many times before, so I'm not really sure why people are confused but I felt it needs a final clarification.
////////////////////////// 1. STANDALONE VERSIONS and OPTIONS
The STANDALONE versions are ALL-IN-ONE mods! This means they feature EVERY single aspect of the gameplay changed, balanced and thoroughly tested.
This goes for everything from movement to ball physics, CPU behaviour, tackling, pressing, positioning, goalkeepers, attacking, defending, dribbling, fatigue, passing speeds, shooting speeds, passing mechanics, etc, etc, etc. You name it and it's been worked on for the V21 standalone I can assure you.
For a general breakdown of what's included read here: https://www.patreon.com/anthjamesfc24gameplaylab/about
The OPTIONS offer ADJUSTMENTS/TWEAKS/REFINEMENTS to that standalone experience. They are not required in order to build a complete gameplay mod.
They exist to allow you to CUSTOMISE your experience from what exists in the standalone.
The scope for what is considered 'realistic' is so much wider than what most people realise. We all have our own tastes and opinions regarding this. I'm very aware of this and it's why I've created a huge amount of options - all within the scope of 'realism' to allow you all to fine-tune your gameplay experience like never before.
You can create a large combination of options to go with your standalone or you can use none at all, or very few. It's entirely up to you and what kind of gameplay experience you're looking for.
I always recommend everyone begin by playing with V21 regular version first. Get a feel for the gameplay and find your reference points. After this, IF you want to customise your gameplay from what is in the standalone, then start exploring the options and look for some things that you want to add.
Please guys - spend the time reading the documentation in the download. Some of you are missing out on extremely important details regarding getting the mod set-up or how you can maximise your own experience.
////////////////////////// 2. DIFFICULTY OF THE MOD
Another thing I want to clarify is regarding difficulty.
The V21 Standalone is designed to be a balanced experience to cater for various game styles and levels - it doesn’t come as THE most difficult the gameplay could possibly be. However, there are LOADS of options that will increase the difficulty substantially (and also make it easier if that's what you would like to do).
The options allow you to pretty much tweak and adjust every single area of the gameplay.
It’s very important to have a read through the ‘Options Guide’ and then start exploring the folders for more information. For example the ‘Tackle Alternative Option’ is HIGHLY recommended to make it more difficult to steal the ball. The 'V20 Defence Option' is another option for example that will make the game significantly more difficult.
////////////////////////// 3. WHERE TO FIND THE DOWNLOAD LINK
Finally, some people have expressed some difficulty in actually finding where to download the mod. For the sake of ease, here is a direct link to V21: RE-LOADED FULL GAMEPLAY PACKAGE. This is the latest package featuring the 150+ options and 15 standalone versions.

For the sake of ease as well, if you click on the 'Collections' tab on my Patreon page it will take you a page where everything is broken down into versions. You can use this link in the future to find what you're looking for. You will also find my exclusive FC24 reshade in this place.
That's all guys - I just felt it was important to clarify these things to avoid any confusion.
Appreciate all the great feedback regarding V21: Re-loaded also!
