Cheers Carroll lad, much appreciated.

Looking ahead to next year I want more choice (or any choice even for smaller clubs) for the pics I can use so that the packs can be more comprehensive, basically I want to go a lot further down the league system for each country than I currently am doing. Plus I'm getting a bit bored with standard backgrounds, I'll still be doing them for the time being though. In order to have that extra choice I need to make the pictures slightly smaller.

A preview of next years probable style which is still WIP. A plain border doesn't look right ingame so I've decided to use a frame, this is my favourite but there are four more if you want to have a look at those. Ignore the fact its Old Trafford on Newcastle's page I keep getting those two's IDs mixed up. Any feedback good or bad would be appreciated.

Just noticed today what Minneapolisjon has planned, personaly I think its pointless both of us covering the same ground over again so I'll be heading back down the alternative route. So I suggest waiting for him for any standard shots, sorry about this.

I'll be (already started) making alternative stadium backgrounds for next year which are a bit different to the norm because I like to try to keep things fresh in my own game and offer something new, they aren't going to be to everyones tastes and I doubt they're going to get the 6000 odd hits of my current packs but if at least one person lkes them as much as me then that'll be more than enough for me to share them. They're similar to the screenshot I posted earlier but the stadium pic will be bigger.

Your backgrounds are great. Is it possible to make Polish Ekstraklasa?

Cheers koby but like I said MinneapolisJon is making standard shots and tbh I'm a bit bored with them atm so I'm sure he'll do them for you when he releases his packs in a couple of days. Sorry mate.

Here are the first sets of team screen backgrounds. England Premier and Football Leagues and Italian Serie A and B. These pics will only work in conjunction with the matchday only stadium backgrounds.

England (Normal flags): DOWNLOAD / PREVIEW
Engand (Stadium flags): DOWNLOAD / PREVIEW

Italy (Normal flags): DOWNLOAD / PREVIEW
Italy (Stadium flags): DOWNLOAD / PREVIEW

And finally heres a preview of the pics I'll be releasing hopefully in January, haven't got the game running because I'm hard at work so I've stuck one on my desktop.

Here is the action file for the stadium backgrounds on the first post for anyone who prefers the detail and colours you get with these and wants to carry on making them for themselves or for others. http://www.filefront...3001/Action.rar

All you need is an internet connection, photoshop, the editor for the ID's, FM graphics configurator for an instant config file and an hour to find the pics, to just make standard pics without effects free software like gimp or paint instead of PS will do the trick (all you need it for is to resize photos). The best background packs are always the ones you make yourself, fact, and they're a piece of pish to do which helps.
