* features may vary for different pes games



General:
smokepatch features are well known to most of our users, but we always try to make enhancements and updates, detailed features will be available with every release.
features and info, alongside database, addons, tutorials, and demos of the patch will all be updated, and all available in the smoke website menu, we try to make all smokepatch information available for you to read. as easy access as possible.


Patch size:
smokepatch will try to make the patch as small as possible, although it would still be big, the fully loaded with all addons patch would be around 25 gigabytes, but most features will be moved to addons as optional downloads, especially the big stadium server.

we will pack the patch in around 700MB parts, not too big for clean download and upload, not too small to have a minimum number of parts.


Faces:
the patch size is mainly because of the big number of real faces that are added to the smoke patch thanks to the participation of many fans, faces files alone are over 5 gigabytes for p19 (7GB for p17) and will be included in the patch by default.


Stadiums:
stadiums included in the patch will be minimal, mostly will be Konami game stadiums, including any stadiums that come with the game DLC, as an option, there will be a bigger stadium pack similar to the one currently used in the patch as an optional add-on, also the stadium server is available as an add-on for a maximum number of stadiums (still not confirmed for p2017 and p2018)

new and updated boards will be included in the patch by default, will work on the stadium server or any stadium pack installed.


Teams:
the smoke patch will be using the maximum number of teams allowed in every game, there will be differences between game versions depending on the capability of each game, although all the players will be available for all games at least as free agents.

no fake teams will be in the patch except for (we united and pes united), these teams will remain for user custom teams, and they are fully editable, see (keep custom team) for info on how to keep your team after the patch have updates

removed all double teams that Konami made in ACL, replaced them with other Asian clubs benefiting from the maximum number of clubs.


Players
our latest database for the smoke patch has more than 20.000 players all real players (except for two custom teams), removed around 5000 fake players from the game, all players are updated following the latest Konami stats, we always try to add more real faces and mini faces for better graphics. mini faces are in separate cpk so we can update them separately.


Kits:
all teams in the patch have their real kits, most of them updated to the latest kits, many worked on making the kits and textures as good as possible. we will keep making more updates in kits in every version. sleeve badges are made as png and are activated in the edit file that the patch includes.
