Football life 2026 - what gameplay mods you using?

[Emsflea]

Hey guys - enjoying the game, but can not put up with this ATM - its nerfed all my players in master league.
My players can barely make a turn, make a pass, shooting is atrocious, the skill moves i do have down just dont work.
Like i can go to play a friendly up the difficulty to top player and have a dam good game, as soon as i jump in my my master league save its like im playing a totally different game, im getting booked for legit tackles as in no psychical contact, single tap x and cleanly tackle the ball ref blows for foul.

Is there a hidden stat in the game to do with team cohesion and morale?

So im interested to see what gameplay mods you are using for FL2026 to see if i can improve the immersion breaking stuff its doing to me right now.
I legit run down the wing and the AI cleanly tackled the ball - my winger fell forward - and the ref gave the AI a free kick - for being cleanly tackled....
I was like - fuck this im done.

Has anyone modded in better refs? has anyone modded in some kind of tool to turn off they rigged games so they are at least immersive? I understand the AI needs assistance, but the last master league game i played, on top player i won the FA cup beat man city in the final 2-0 with worse players than I have now.

thanks guys.

In master league there is always a bit of scripting, sometimes it is in your favour and sometimes it is against you. And yes, team morale significantly affects how your team plays. Your team will feel a lot more sluggish and error prone if you have a low team morale.

A lot of mods claim to fix the refs, but in my experience none of them really do anything. The refs are one of the worst problems with the gameplay.

You should try out different gameplay mods. Maybe they won't make things perfect but they might improve it a bit. I recommend Machete Gaming's gameplay mod, lots of people seem to like it.

might be worth setting the game to an easier difficulty and get 3 wins on the bounce - then re adjust difficulty to see if it resets the "slump" ?
Ill look into machetes gaming mod - could you link directly to it? thank you.

Use Holland's 30th anniversary arcade one. The refs whistle for both sides instead of just bias for CPU. You get penalties, but there are still blatant errors for both sides, refs were never properly coded.
You can use dynamic difficulty and when your players don't respond, you can boost your team via Sider module, I tested and 1 or 2 points for your team is already enough to not only balance, but even turn the scripting around.
