The 'Full Gameplay Package' now features over 150 OPTIONS IN TOTAL + 15 STANDALONE VERSIONS!!!!
/////////////////
One thing I've learnt is that everyone has a different interpretation about what 'realism' looks like.
I'm mindful of this and have carefully created and balanced a staggering amount of standalone versions and gameplay options, ALL with the purpose of allowing you to fine-tune your own realistic gameplay experience like never before!
Every standalone version features a full fleshed out gameplay. The options then allow you to refine, adjust and fine-tune your gameplay even further.
These new options are some of the most IMPACTFUL yet!
Details below.
Note: 95% of what you see in this video is showcasing the types of behaviour you will see when playing against the CPU! The CPU are making all of the long shots, long passes, crosses etc. This is the result of thousands of hours of work to refine this game!

More Detail on what's new:
2 EXCLUSIVE NEW STANDALONE VERSIONS: V21 EXTRA SLOW and V21 FAST:
V21 EXTRA SLOW: This exclusive standalone tweaks and balances very key areas of the V21 Slow Version to create an even slower, but still smooth and fluid V21. Animations play out that little bit slower, turning circles, specific dribbling speeds, thresholds etc have all been very carefully balanced out to provide a great experience for those who love slow gameplay.
Everything is of course scaled to stats.
This version also features a brand new extra slow passing speed which makes building up play even more important than on any other version.
Importantly, this version doesn't make the game feel sluggish and it doesn't 'break' the gameplay.
Tip: I recommend pairing this with the 'Heavy Switch' option also for those who want to add that EXTRA bit of friction and heaviness.
V21 FAST: This is another exclusive standalone version that increases the speed of movement in a number of key ways from V21 regular version.
It's important to note that this still remains etched in realism, but is perfect for those who want a more intense and responsive experience.
This version does NOT play like default FC24 - it is just a more intense version of the regular V21 standalone.
Tip: For those who want even faster passing, pair this with the 'Faster Passing Isolation' option.
Tip 2: If you want more attacking movement for a fast and open game (or you play shorter halves), also pair this with the 'Attacking Adjustment 5' and 'Positioning Alternative - Space' options.
60+ BRAND NEW OPTIONS (TAKING THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF OPTIONS TO OVER 150!!!)
Here's a brief overview for just SOME of the key NEW options:
POSITIONING ALTERNATIVE - BALL SIDE: This is a unique positioning option that results in the
defensive team moving more contextually to cover space on the ball side of the pitch.
This creates a more compact midfield game with some very interesting and fresh dynamics.
For those who want a dense midfield experience and who play with longer halves - you'll want to explore this option!
ATTACKING ADJUSTMENT 4: This adjustment will ensure that your defenders hold their position more and don't leave their post, providing more defensive stability in attack and defence.
ATTACKING DIFFICULTY BOOST OPTION: Increase the attacking difficulty for lower difficult levels (works best with World Class).
DEFENSIVE DIFFICULTY BOOST OPTION: Increase the defensive difficulty for lower difficulty levels (works best with World Class).
SPRINT RISK OPTION: This is a mechanic that I first introduced in my FIFA 23 gameplay mod.
It's an option that brings a risk/reward element to sprinting. When using this option, there's now a far greater chance of losing control of the ball when you decide to sprint, making you have to pick and choose your moments a lot more carefully than ever before. This is scaled based on stats, but it will still impact all players - bringing a whole new element to the gameplay.
DEFENSIVE LINE DROP: This option increases when and why the defence line will drop back. It's perfect for those wanting the defence to drop a little further back and not keep such a high line. I have also created a variation of this for ALL positioning options.
POSITIONING ALTERNATIVE - SPACE OPTION: This option opens up more space to play in so that defensive formations aren't so close together. There are specific changes here relating to midfield spacing and also the way teams will compress/decompress from their formation.
INJURY OPTION UPDATED: I've listened to feedback and I've refined this option!
It's now much more stable and realistic.
BALL PHYSICS ALTERNATIVE SERIES - OPTIONS 1,2, 3 and 4: You now have 4 brand new ball physics options to choose from.
There's an option here for example that makes the ball lighter, more bouncy and travels higher.
TRAP OPTION: Increases the difficulty of trapping and controlling the ball - all based on a number of factors such as stats, balance, pressure, ball speed etc. This leads to more unpredictable moments.
TRAJECTORY OPTION: Use this option if you want to create some really unpredictable battles and outcomes in aerial duals. It brings a whole new dimension to the fight in the air.
A version of this is already included inside V21, but this option takes it a step further.
This is of course scaled based on stats, but every player is impacted.
REDUCED SHOT SPEED OPTION: A nice option that takes the edge off the shooting speeds and helps to create some added variety to shooting.
PHYSICALITY V2: The Physicality options are designed to create more potential outcomes in the dual.
This option can lead to more fouls and lots of nice battles all around the pitch - but importantly this is a LESS EXTREME version of the original 'Physicality Option', providing more consistency and stability.
CPU ALTERNATIVE 2: This option builds on the initial 'CPU Alternative' and has the CPU make decisions even faster again.
This doesn't necessarily mean everything is always quicker, but the CPU will release the ball faster and this can lead to different patterns and behaviours throughout a match. It can increase difficulty too.
EASIER LEGENDARY OPTION: This takes the edge off Legendary in a number of ways, creating a less difficult version of Legendary than what you will find in V21.
GOALKEEPER BOOST OPTION: Increase the goalkeeper ability in the game just that little bit extra.
SLOWER JOCKEY OPTION: Slow down the jockey speeds specifically, letting you refine your speed of movement to your liking even more.
FASTER TURNING INTENSITY AND ACCELERATION BUILD OPTION: This lets you tweak your movement base just that little bit extra. Say you're playing on V21 Slow standalone and you feel the movement is just a touch sluggish for your tastes, but you don't want to move up to the V21 Medium standalone, then use this option to get that little bit of extra responsiveness. You can use this for any movement base.
'EASIER' V21 POSITIONING OPTION: There are certain values within the positioning files that impact particular types of marking and reactions. The 'Easier' variant of positioning is a reduction of these values compared to what you will find in the V21 positioning.
Using this 'Easier' option makes it slightly easier to beat a defender.
This is a great option if you feel like the CPU is a little too fast at reacting and/or you want a bit more freedom to play.
+ LOADS, LOADS MORE - as I said there's a breakdown of EVERY option in all folders, as well as suggested combinations to try for specific experiences, making the entire process super easy to customise your own realistic gameplay experience.
/////////////////////////////////////////////////
Don't get overwhelmed by the amount of detail and choice in this mod - I've made the process of finding and understanding options easier than ever before.
Each and every single standalone version and option features it's own 'Read Me' file explaining exactly the impact of that particular mod will have on your gameplay experience. These options can be stacked as much as you like.
I've refined and updated many of these explanations for the V21 'Re-loaded' release.
I've also added in an important 'Options Guide' which answers many FAQs and points you in the right direction based on what gameplay experience you want to achieve. There's examples of combinations etc as well.
V21: 'Re-loaded' sees the introduction of a massive amount of positional tweaks and adjustments. To make this process very easy to understand I have also written up an all new
'Positional Bases Guide' which talks you through the process of how to fine-tune this very important aspect of the mod.
Finally, when you join, message me to gain access to my exclusive discord server where you can talk to myself and many others to help you fine tune your combinations etc.
My discord is a no drama space where you can feel free to ask and discuss things at a much deeper level.

EXTREMELY IMPORTANT: PLEASE read the ALL of the .txt files regarding settings, MOD ORDER INSTALLATION for FMM etc. This crucial to ensuring you have the mod and options working properly!
For example:
- Your in-game ref needs to be set to 'Very Lenient' for V21 (unless you're using different referee options of course).
- 50/50 sliders and NORMAL in game pace.
Remember - the mod is very stat based. You will see different behaviour, touches, dribbling, pressing, positioning etc based on WHO you are playing with or against. The learning curve is steeper than what you might be used to - stick with it and enjoy!
NOTE: 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 it can possibly be. There’s a load of options that will increase the difficult substantially. 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.

Hey, yes 60+ ALL NEW options and 2 new standalone versions - EXTRA SLOW and FAST. V21 itself remains the same standalone, but the new options are some of the most impactful yet. These new options provide something for every style.

Anth, is there any difference between older normal V21 and this new reloaded V21 version?
Anthony Reilly
Thanks for joining man. Have a read through the ‘Options Guide’ read me in the Re-loaded download. V21 standalone is designed to cater for multiple gameplay types. It doesn’t come as THE most difficult version possible. The Full Gameplay Package features loads of options that increase the difficult substantially. It’s important to have a read through the guide and then start exploring the folders. I HIGHLY recommend the ‘Tackle - Alternative’ Option for example in the guide as this makes stealing the ball much more difficult. There’s also the ‘V20 Defence’ option as well (read about this, as you need to add the ‘V21 Contain Isolation’ option above it), or there’s the ‘Positioning - Ball Side’ option. There’s an ‘Attacking Difficulty Boost’ and ‘Defending’ variant too plus loads more.

Hello. I am from Argentina. I tried the V14 which is free and I had very good feelings. I subscribed to the channel to test the V21 and in world class playing a premier league I found the game quite easy. With West Ham I have stolen balls from opposing defenders very easily and was left alone in front of the goal. The goalkeepers even practically continue without leaving the goal (they always stay under the 3 sticks) I don't know, I noticed it quite easily. And not at all REAL. I have everything configured correctly, FM and Live Editor, everything as it should. Any ideas?

Thanks Darko! I use Esim for camera. I typically use 'Camsreal' and use the EA Gamecam. I adjust based on every stadium and my mood haha.
Darko Zoric
Hey Anth....Top video. What camera mod are you using and what camera angle are you predominantly using? Your videos always look top notch
