Cool, I have a fan :-)

English packs are all available here and are pretty much updated with high-res kits. First two levels are full high res, rest are mixed. I made all down to 8th level plus 4 more level 9 leagues.
I was thinking about wrapping it all up into some English megapack, I might do it as soon as I find some time.

I also made "unofficial" packs, links here:
Croatian 1st (full high-res):

Croatian 2nd (some high-res, but now outdated because several teams changed their kits on mid season):

Scottish premier (full high-res):

There are also some Serie A, B and some EU top clubs which I didn't pack, you can get them individually starting from this post:

I'm currently making the Scottish leagues mate & have nearly finished them, so there's no need for you to waste your time making them. So instead why don't you take a league that's not already taken from the W.I.P. waiting list & make that.

I don't believe it's possible to have anything other than the 3D avatar as your manager image.

No need to copy anything over something. Just put both the TCM pack and the Metallic pack in the graphics folder. The game "reads" the logos in the order the packs appear in the graphics folder, so make sure the TCM folder has a name that comes before the Metallic pack folder in alphabets/numbers (rename if needed). This way the game will display a TCM logo when there is one, and a Metallic logo when there isn't (as long as a Metallic logo for the ID exists).

You could, but you would have to add into the config.xml the ID's of those logos (clubs/competitions etc.) that you have added from TCM Megapack, because there will be no mention of them in the Metallic Logos config.xml since they don't exist in the Metallic pack.

The config-files work as an instruction to the game so it knows what graphics and other elements to load into the game. If there is no mention in them of a club or competition logo, for example, then it wil not appear in the game.

Somebody's already released the files to enable the Japan league and also to populate with real players here earlier today...

To be able to manage a national senior or youth team, there needs to be at least 150 eligible players loaded in your save game, otherwise it's just not possible as you may not have enough players to choose from. If you are looking to manage a particular national team in a save game, you should load all players from that country before starting. This won't be necessary for the bigger nations, but the more obscure ones will need to be loaded in this way. It also depends on how many players there are from this particular country within the FM database. There are 1,229 Maltese players (so you should be able to manage the senior, U21 and U19 national teams), San Marino has 366 (so you won't be able to manage the U19s, but the seniors and U21 should be doable), while Andorra has 65 (so they're all out of the question).

To be able to manage clubs in divisions not enabled in the original game, you need to wait for modders like claassen to release files enabling these countries. In FM17, his files unlocked pretty much all the countries in the world, and I'm sure he'll do loads of leagues again this year Just be patient, it's boring and time-consuming to do a good job, but it's well worth the wait
