Team squads and transfers:
All teams get reviewed at some point, leagues transfer windows are different depending on the continent, so a constant review is required.
world cup national teams are set provisionally, after the official call ups for all the teams is announced we will make a small update to finish up.


Teams correct attributes:
All the teams in the game have their real flag, stadium name, team colors, manager, and other team attributes, we change and correct any missing details as we go.

Most teams are licensed, but we kept two teams for user edit, (we united and pes united) are fully editable and can be exported and imported when a new version is released


Players:
We removed almost all the fake players (except in the two unlicensed teams), replaced them with real players from different teams,

Players stats are from the latest Konami live update, players added from the patch have correct stats as well.

We added a lot of real faces to the game, not as much as in previous game due to the lack of real faces (we do not create the real faces)

A lot of players added to the patch, especially youth teams, the player's database is getting bigger every day and we include more players in each version.


Real teams kits:
We made real kits for all the teams, updated as much as possible, the world cup teams kits are up to date for the world cup, if we missed any then we will include in updates.
some kits are not precise due to a lack of information.


Stadium effects:
A lot of stadium effects are added to the game, especially fans chants, all sound effects files are located in the container (smkdb_sfx.cpk), if for any reason you want to remove the sound effects then just copy one of the extra cpk files to the same name mentioned and replace.


Real Leagues:
Smoke patch replaces the three fake leagues with real leagues, currently added (Bundesliga, Liga Aguila, and CSL), new leagues have correct attribution and works just like the leagues already in the game.

we are still planning to add league switcher to add more optional leagues, but this is delayed to ensure the game stability,


Balls, boots, and gloves:
a lot of real balls, boots, and gloves are added to the game, we do not update them all the time because that would be a waste of time, however, this version has update ball models for the new season, boots and gloves also got updated to include the latest models.


Graphics:
this version has new graphics, a special scoreboard is added along with the new backgrounds, you can remove to change the scoreboard by using the smoke scoreboard switcher from the patch add-on menu.
