Thanks again. So I am looking at managing Deportoes Puerto Montt in the Chilean B League. I have the new kits available , but not a lot of player faces .
I am not sure what you mean by "request any sources you find"
I will give this save a go and see if I enjoy it.

Thanks for the reply. I understand now . I have looked at starting in the Chilean B league but the team I have selected has a lot of player faces missing.
Is this just something I have to accept as its an obscure choice?

#508568 sortitoutsi Background and Stadium Packs Home Thread
Womaz
Excellent thank you. I have used the new kit pack so it may be up to date for FM20 .
Any idea why my stadium backgrounds do not work . They are in the graphics folder along with the facepacks and kit packs. The face packs and kit packs are visible but the stadium backgrounds are not

I also never seem to be able to download and use the various tactics posted on here. These come in an FMF file which I am unable to use.
The tactics do not worry me as I can create them myself with a bit of work, but I would love to get the stadiums in the background if possible.
Also I gave noticed player profile pages with much bigger photos. Is this just using a different skin? Or is it a different face pack ?
Last question I promise ;-)
I am going to purchase FM2020 and can I just transfer my graphics folder to the new FM20 folder which I presume is created .........or is it as simple as just renaming my folder Football Manager and making sure my new FM20 save goes to there.
Any guidance appreciated
#508392 Sparta Rotterdam ....my first real success story
Womaz
I have downloaded the new FM20 face packs and a few of my blank spaces now have a photo so it has helped a little .
#508274 Sparta Rotterdam ....my first real success story
Womaz
I have played FM since the very first game so I am guessing that’s over 25 years so I am a definite fanboy. In the past I have struggled to play this game with any success and always got frustrated and added a new manager who made a huge bid for one of my players . Yes I bloody cheated ;-)
However this time I took on Sparta Rotterdam in FM19 and read a lot of guides and watched a lot of videos and I have actually had success, and yes without cheating. I am a happy man .
I started off in the Dutch second division and I am now in about season 9 and I have won the Dutch Eredivise for the last 3 seasons, the last two by a huge margin. I have also won the Europa League once and the Dutch Cup about 3 times.
My success has been built on loan signings mainly from the English Premier League. On occasions I can then pick up these players on a permanent deal at the end of that year or the year after. Although I do think this mainly happens with loans from Italy and Spain.
I have had all of the top jobs offered to me Brazil , England and a few from the likes of Chelsea and Milan, however I turned them all down as I wanted to see how far I could get Sparta.
Although I have played this game for years I think my knowledge of the game is pretty poor and I come on here for ideas and tips.
Firstly I am in season 9 I think and there are so many regens, obviously. One of the things that makes FM so much more realistic for me are the Kit packs , player faces and logos etc.
9 years in and most of my squad don’t have a photo. Is this something I just have to accept. I guess I could update my facepacks to 2010 but I doubt it would make much difference.
So I think I have taken Sparta as far as I can . I am in the CL and have qualified from the group stages on the last 3 occasions but I always get knocked out in the first knock out stage. This has brought a huge increase in the revenue of the club, but also a big increase in the wage bill, however I do manage this quite well I think.
The issue I have now in the CL is I have neglected to sign Dutch players so this year I had to fill my 25 man squad with some very poor U19 and B team players. So I am not expecting this season to be any different. I have been searching for good dutch talent but they are nowhere near the ability of my present players. My squad is now very much based around foreign talent as I forgot about the CL squad rules.
Another thing I struggle with is player development , I seem to sign a player say a 4 star current ability rating and then after a few games his star rating has dropped. Is this the wrong way to judge a player and search for players?
My players don’t seem to improve under me, infact they go backwards. With the influx of CL cash I have been able to recruit some good coaches etc , well as good as I can find, but this makes little difference.
My young players never come through the ranks. When I first started they used to and the first couple of years I brought in a couple of the U19s and they played in the first 11. They then attracted the big clubs and I could not hold on to them. I did however make a huge profit
So I am thinking it may be time to move on to FM20 as it is getting a bit boring as the Dutch league has become too easy to win and the CL seems way out of my reach.
If I go for FM20 can I use my profile I use now as I am a very sought after manager or do I have to start again?
Any tips or guidance would be most welcome as I am now off work and intend to immerse myself in this game

Thanks I may do that but I have downloaded WinRAR and it is doing the larger megapack and its estimated to take 6 minutes
I will let you know how I progress.
#445195 Cut-Out Faces Megapack TECHNICAL SUPPORT thread - first post updated for FM26

It is working as I have had a look at the file it is extracting to, bur this is a new Intel i7 8th gen lap top surely it cant take this long?
Not sure how to progress other than try and download the other pack with a different unzipper tool maybe?
#445167 Cut-Out Faces Megapack TECHNICAL SUPPORT thread - first post updated for FM26
Womaz
I guess there is no hurry. One quick question do all of the packs just go into the Graphics folder once extracted. ?
#445164 Cut-Out Faces Megapack TECHNICAL SUPPORT thread - first post updated for FM26
Womaz
Yes I am doing them one at a time. I downloaded them all at same time, but extracting them one at a time
#445162 Cut-Out Faces Megapack TECHNICAL SUPPORT thread - first post updated for FM26
Womaz
Yes I am. Downloaded the file via this site, then extracting it to my desktop. I did the stadium pack too and this downloaded as a Zip file. That took about 20 mins to extract.
The other two are the megapack and the metallic logos pack. They have downloaded as an archive file? and have the RARopener icon next to it. Problem is I am hopeless at all of this
#445156 Cut-Out Faces Megapack TECHNICAL SUPPORT thread - first post updated for FM26
Womaz
I will try anything to speed it up. Problem I have is I am not that tech savy and I guess I am afraid to mess things up. I actually found the WinRAR tool, but the download says it is just a trial.
Will a better tool speed up the extraction? I thought this would primarily be down to laptop and broadband speed.

I purchased the lap top suggested after I did a bit of my own research. I have always wanted a laptop exclusively for FM......a bit excessive I know but I now have it. Thanks for your help
#445152 Cut-Out Faces Megapack TECHNICAL SUPPORT thread - first post updated for FM26
Womaz
Yes we meet again
Its a brand new i7 lap top so it cant be that. I used to have WinRAR but I was unable to find it again. Been extracting the metallic logos file for 6 hours now and I think I am only about 25% there. I guess its no big deal but didn't expect it to take this long. I have the bigger megapack to do after this too

#445113 Where does it save to?
Womaz
I will do thanks. It is too big to copy to my USB stick . I may just start a new save anyway as may be best if I dont mess things up
I will look at adding facepacks and logos too when i get steam set up. Thanks for the help so far
#445111 Where does it save to?
Womaz
I might just do that
#445109 Where does it save to?
Womaz
Yes I will try and do this. I am currently struggling to find where I saved it too
#445105 Where does it save to?
Womaz
Thanks, so it looks like I wont be able to keep playing my save

#443473 Isn't there a Football Manager for Dummies?
Womaz
I actually didnt buy FM18 as I was going to give up, but it is addictive
My latest attempt I took over Hanover 96 in the second div of German football. I finished 4th one place out of the play off place and was duly sacked
Other than cheating and inflating my funds I have no idea how to play this game. Its like real life football management I guess in that you dont get enough time at the football club before they sack you. Training and Tactics are the two areas I struggle in most and in FM17 I really struggle to bring in players. I use the scouting page but rarely does it bring much success
#442372 Isn't there a Football Manager for Dummies?
Womaz
So yes a guide to the game would be really good as I feel as if I have no game plan. I admit I often end up cheating by adding another manager and making a HUGE bid for one of my players to give me a better transfer budget. This is CHEATING.....its the only thing i cheat in and this has to stop ;-)

Thank you. So it is best to focus on processor speed as opposed to Graphics card in your opinion

I deleted the faces folder.
I have also deleted the other folder you told me to extract, and I am now in the process of downloading it again from your site.
I am downlosading this to my desktop and I will then try and follow your guidelines again.
In my other folders within the graphics folders for eg the Belgian der klasse folder - when i double click on them it takes me to other folders and all of the kits are then displayed. I would assume thats where I need to be with this file.
I will follow the guidelines above again although it is taking over an hour each time
