PES 2021 dribbling has felt slow stiff for 6 years.
So I rebuilt it.
Left: stock. Right: my mod. Same player, same input.
⚡ 0→15 km/h: 1.12s → 0.77s
⚡ Dribble speed: 14.7 → 19.1 km/h
⚡ New burst-start animations
⚡ Sprint untouched

I rewired its dribbling so every touch reacts to how fast the player is running.
This is FL27 with my dribbling mod. Watch the touches 👇
Sprint and leg animations stay stock, so there's no fast-forward look.
It still feels like PES, just more alive on the ball.
This is the right way to use AI! Start with something already solid and polish it instead of generating slop from zero. Doing the same with PES 2021 / Football Life 26: real engine and real animations, AI helps me find and fix the rough parts.
I actually measured this. Ran tracking analysis on FL26 COM v COM vs real pro match data (Metrica + SkillCorner):
Pass speed: basically real
Sprinting: 7.6x real
Turning/braking/accel: 3-4x real
The ice skating is measurable, and fixable.
How did football games turn into ice skating?
Look at what @AnthJamesFBG is bringing back with FIFA 14, 15, 16 and 17. The movement. The turns. Players actually look like they have weight.
Then watch modern EA FC. Everyone’s gliding across the pitch.
I’ve been playing modded PES 2021, but this might pull me back into FIFA. Just look how real this looks.
James is crushing it.
Which FIFA had the best gameplay?
"No new mocap, animations the game already has, finally played" is the key point here.
Scanned all 4,389 clips in FL26/PES 2021. A lot of the jank comes from how existing clips get picked and blended, not missing clips. Same lesson, different engine.
Along with the broad animation improvements, working on a new sprint feature. I want a sprint that lets you glide past players like in real life. Thinking of reducing the overall sprint a bit, and adding more touches and control of the ball, to have that nice little burst of quick dribbling. #FootballLife2026 #PES2021 #PESmods #FL27 #FL26
How real does Football Life 2026 move? I ran the same tracking analysis on FL26 COM v COM and on real pro match data.
Pass speeds: basically real.
Sprinting: 7.6× real.
Turning, braking, accelerating: 3–4× real.

Can gameplay constants fix it? I swapped five sets of AI constants via Sider and replayed the same match each time.
Sprinting stayed between 16.7% and 23%. Real is 2.2%. The excess sits in locomotion, not the AI files.
