I can’t lie bro thanks for this but could’ve added Stanford bridge background instead of the badge. And the red for opening up a tab isn’t the Chelsea way but thanks

Give it a go if you think these are not good. You wouldn’t know how much goes into these to try and make the game a little better for some people. No one is asking you to download if you don’t want to mate. happy for constructive feedback but this is just nasty

I ain’t even saying it as criticism but I’ve seen your other ones and the stadium background looks way better.

Usually I don't comment other creators skins, but let me drop a few thoughts here…

 

It's totally fine not liking a particular skin. That's why we - the skinners - are here and trying to offer a variety to the community, so all users can choose that skin, which comes closest to personal preferences. 

 

However I'm not sure if you have at least an idea how many effort lays within each of this available skins. No matter if that's the “older” ones by budwaiser and AlexMorak - as an example - who did all this with a horrible tool like uabae and had to redo EVERYTHING with each patch SI released - or the newer ones, like mine, MrTinis's or these one here,  based on Skinbuilder… Even though it's much more comfortable (and with more things possible to do) than doing it through uabea - there're still hundreds of hours into it, to find all the variables, classes, panels, layouts etc. to change the outfit of the game as we can do right now… Endless hours of try&error, restarting the game over and over and over…

 

So the least thing you as a (potential) user can do is, show some respect for all the work having been put into it. Some of us - me included btw - don't even play that horrible game… We do it for the fun of working on it and for YOU, the users - trying to provide you a better experience as the original game can do…

Nah dude, this the sort of stuff we don't need on the forums. At the very least Dave is actually contributing and putting skins out instead of being negative for the sake of being negative. If you are going to comment like this, at least give it substance since now you're not even providing useful feedback. 

Or you know, pick up the skin builder tool and do it yourself…

Cheers mate, I’m all for feedback and suggestions where I can maybe learn better and implement but pure hate doesn’t sit well with me. Thanks for having my back and all the help

i can look at this for version 2 if I do another one. But you can accept that red is in the club badge yes? I check all colours before using them and yes some might vary slightly as I have put some transparency so you get to see the background a little more than just seeing around the edges. White doesn't work and blue, then you have to much blue

I accept on the badge there is red but the drop down for example is used a lot by us players and seeing that much red ain’t Chelsea. Listen I like the skin I ain’t saying I don’t. But as the only london club with European titles and the club currently world champions for the next 4 years I just expected some more Chelsea blue. but listen I’ve tried skinning myself, and it’s a long process, so I’m only trying to give my opinion on some of the backgrounds chosen. thanks

I'm working on version 2. replaced the red with the gold colour from the badge and working on the stadium picture for the main page. Is the background ok during the game or would you prefer another stadium picture?

Is there a look of disappointment on the fans faces.

I've made skins for FM 22/23/24. These Club ones you keep posting are unbelievably bad objectively. People cant take any criticism these days.

Any links? I'm intrigued.

Criticism is fine.  Being a colossal cunt whilst giving it isn't, might be something to bear in mind

Although criticism based on subjective opinions such as “what looks good” is fine and well, the way you you criticise it seems you are Picasso.

 

If you are so experienced then why don't you publish your own skin for FM26?

Besides, if you are such an experienced skinner, what about sharing your previous work so it can be judged the same way you are judging this one?

 

That would be fair, don't you agree?

I can take criticism if it's constructive. Criticising without any context on the issues YOU feel isn't up to your high standards is different. Seems a lot of people are quite happy someone is trying. Let's see your attempts!!!!

Come on big man, let's see your work. I'd be happy to fire up an old FM to test your work.

Stadium pictures always go crazy with the game. day time and night time backgrounds but from version 2 I’m going home to try now. I’ll give a much better review

**Polite Notice**

 

Due to time constraints and FM putting updates out there that will break every skin produced I've taken the decision not to create anymore skins for other people for requested teams. It's been a hard decision to come to but I simply don't have the time to put into all these anymore.

I will be taking these skins down very shortly

I will however be working on one skin like many others and will put that out with regular updates to it

I'm sorry for letting anyone of you down, but hopefully my new skin will suit all. Thanks for all the support and great feedback. It was good to get to know how the skin builder tool works and putting some good work out there, although there was 1 or 2 that didn't like my work.
