| Requirement | Why |
|-------------|------|
| PES 2017 PC version | Console modding is extremely limited for stadiums. |
| DpFileList Generator | To add new .cpk files to the game. |

| Backup | dt80_100E_x64.cpk and dt80_200E_x64.cpk (stadium data). |
| No other Bernabéu mod active | Conflicts cause invisible pitch or crash. |

There are, of course, limitations. The FOX Engine, for all its brilliance in player lighting and cloth physics, was not designed for the complex moving parts of the real-life stadium. Do not expect a working animation of the pitch retracting underground or the wraparound façade playing high-definition video loops during goal celebrations. The stadium is static, a sculpture rather than a machine.
Furthermore, the retractable roof remains open in the standard version of the mod. For players used to the closed-dome atmospheres of later PES iterations, this is a slight step back, but it does allow for the classic Real Madrid weather patterns—rain in Madrid is a rare but dramatic occurrence in PES 2017, and the new structure handles the wet weather shaders beautifully.

The generic bowl lacked the character, the towering four-sided roof, the exterior concrete grandeur, and the intimidating pitch-side atmosphere of the real Bernabéu. The new update replaces low-resolution textures with 4K
For fans of Los Blancos, playing a "home" game in a fake stadium breaks immersion. The New Santiago Bernabeu Stadium Update fixes this entirely. It doesn't just add a stadium; it restores the soul of the club.
