Patch and Rule Changes:
Autumn 2022 will continue to use PES 2021 and the AI Patch for Autumn 2022 will continue to be Righetti 0.06.4 and can be downloaded HERE. If you have not done so already, download it, unzip it, and overwrite the 4cc_06_gameplay.cpk that should already be in the download folder of your PES21 directory.
Additionally, the following rule changes will be implemented:
- Green Height Bracket
- 194cm players will now be 191cm.
- The number of 191cm players will be reduced from 6 to 5, and the number of 180cm players will be increased from 6 to 7.
- Red Height Bracket
- All players set to a height of 175cm will now receive a +5 stat boost in all stats.
- Medal System
- The number of silver medal players per team will be increased from 2 to 3 (GGSSS).
- Formation Usage
- For the duration of the usage of PES 2021, all formations that constitute 3 defenders, 4 midfielders, and 3 strikers (i.e., 3-4-3, 3-2-2-3, 3-3-1-3, and 3-1-3-3) will no longer be allowed, including within any fluid formations. Deadline exports and nightlies will be rejected if any such formation is found within them, so please be aware and mindful.
