Personally i prefer the 3d texture over 2d. I can delete it if you don't like it.

Firstly, the FM add-on community is just that, so it's only polite to recognise others before copying their work without acknowledging them and explaining your objective. Secondly, the game turns the ball into a 3D image, regardless of the ball image “quality” in your folder. Also, the graphical limitations of FM will not show fine detail, so it's better to focus on strong colours and a lack of shading for the ball to show well. The detail on your ball is wasted and the dark shading shows in the game, giving an uneven look as the ball rotates. I've been making FM match balls for years and I've discovered that simplicity gives the best results. Maybe one day when the FM match engine is so detailed in 8k+ resolution or whatever, things like close graphical detail will be noticeable but until then……….

For sure I tried it Jeff but as I said, dark shading makes a ball look uneven when rotating.

Hi Jeff. I still wasn't happy. The Winter ball still wasn't yellow enough, so I've made it closer to orange. See what you think ?

Hopefully I will, there is a lack of continuity and quality at the moment that needs addressing.

Hi, @bartdude 

If you need help, you just have to tell it and I can help you to complete the new season.

That could happen. I usually prefer to work alone but haven't had the time or the inclination as too many individuals have posted less than ideal efforts. Also I'm not interested in going beyond European Leagues. We'd need to compare creations before posting as a pack.

We'll be seeing the new Nike Winter ball in the Premier League for the first time today, so maybe some tweaking will be needed when I've seen it.

The 2021-22 FA Cup match ball has been released. Now before we see attempts from some to include it in FM2022, a word of warning. It's a pig to get it to look right. I have made 20+ test samples and none look particularly good. I'm saying all this because too many assume they only need a picture of a ball, size it and then paste it to the template. That only works if the ball in question has perfect symmetry, strong colours and no shading, some but not all of which can be corrected with editing. It's also part of the reason why I've lost a lot of interest in something I've been involved in for quite a few years. Although no-one has the exclusive right to create add-ons for FM, it has pained me to see so many poor examples. I am currently investigating what's possible, moving away from the game's default concept , in the attempt to make match balls more realistic. Will update soon.

Hopefully but I'm currently involved in a major project, so the PC is out of bounds right now.
