Data Update Poll!

Hello, there is currently an important debate going on regarding how to manage the FM24 Data Update going forward, particularly in the case of modifying the ages and contract dates by 1 year. Please can you vote in the poll and join in the discussion.

Hello FM Community!
 

Iā€™m thrilled to present my Ultimate Matchball Megapack for Football Manager 2024, featuring over +130 3D matchballs crafted to enhance your gaming experience. 

This megapack includes a diverse array of matchball designs, with special versions for winter conditions and knockout stages of main competitions.


Whatā€™s Included:

Extensive Collection: Over +130 3D matchballs, for different competitions and seasonal conditions, including winter versions where applicable and unique templates for knockout stages of main competitions, providing a more realistic look for critical matches.

High-Resolution Textures: Textures are in HD where possible. If anyone has high-resolution photos to contribute or improve the current textures, your help would be greatly appreciated!

Highlights:

Inspired and Enhanced: Building upon the excellent work of @bartdude  and @JakDevlin , whose previous ā€˜3D Balls Match Packā€™ served as inspiration, Iā€™ve expanded and refined their creations with additional details and variety.
Community Collaboration: Special thanks to @DazS8  for the go-ahead, for a lot of files and support. This pack is a result of our collective effort, and your feedback and suggestions are invaluable. Please share any requests or comments!

Installation Instructions:

-Download the megapack file.
-Extract the ā€˜ballsā€™ zip file.
-Move the ā€˜ballsā€™ folder to ā€œDocuments\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2024\graphics\ā€ (create any necessary folders if they donā€™t exist).
-Ensure the ā€˜configā€™ file is in the ā€˜ballsā€™ folder.
-Update your game cache via the in-game preferences to see the new matchballs in action.

Note: While many of the balls have been tested, I havenā€™t had the opportunity to test every single one. Your feedback is crucial, so please let me know if you encounter any issues or have suggestions for improvement.

Installation Instructions for content inside the alt and brands folder:

If you want to use a matchball that you find inside the alt or the brands folder, simply follow these steps:
-rename the ball you want to substitute adding -OLD at the end of the name (e.g: ENG-premierleague-OLD).
-copy and paste the ball in the main folder (graphics/balls).
-rename what you just copied with the same name that was used for the ball you decided to substitute (e.g: ENG-premierleague).

From the version 1.3, since i have improved file names and config file, YOU NEED TO MAKE A CLEAN INSTALLATION, by deleting the old balls folder, and extracting this new one in ā€œgraphicsā€


I wish you all, best of luck with your managerial adventures!

@BabaYaga89 Thanks for the shout out and credit man, appreciate it.

Great work on updating the balls for the new season. Let's see what FM25 brings on what we can do on it to get these balls into the new game. I'm sure it will be a challenge but hopefully figure a way to do it.

Hi, 


The clue is in the title (3d balls) mate.


You will need a seperate pack ofā€¦ā€¦2d balls to display in that mode, which there is little options around the commumity at this point.


The only pack I know of is by a guy called Crack Victor, his 3d balls pack does include a 2d balls pack also.

Hi, thanks for the pack. I want to ask how to find the licensed ball picture like ucl. I extracted the graphics.fmf from the game file and I found the logos and portrait pictures but no 3d balls pictures. Thanks!

Going to check the config, thanks for the info. Do they use, in real life, the same matchballs for both leagues and cups matches?

A new version will be released in a couple of hours,
