I dont think that is the right ball. they seem to be using a green and yellow version of the new puma orbita.

If you can find it anywhere that would be great

Sorry guys, not been active on these. I'll update some of the requests later on.

@redmisty do you have a copy of the ball and the names of the leagues or ID numbers?

There you go mate 

just make sure your ball file is named england premier league winter

<record from="england premier league winter" to="graphics/pictures/balls/11/winter"/>?

thanks mate, I'll check them out in game.

what do you do to make the colours like that on the balls if you don't mind me asking?

Update for getting winter balls to automatically work correctly

The code that I have used, seems to be working correctly. Note that not every league / competition in the database has winter ball dates assigned (see attachments). The competitions that I tested with winter dates assigned worked fine and the competitions without dates didn't work e.g. Vanarama National League, FA Trophy, Champions League, Scottish Premier League. Once the pre-game editor is released for FM24, I will have a look and see which leagues have winter dates assigned. The only solutions would be to edit the database beforehand to add winter league dates or just manually change your ball in the ‘balls’ folder.

I have also found that there are 4 types of balls that are used. @bartdude this may be the reason it never worked all the time before and the winter ball dates too. See below:

• Standard Ball - The ball that is used outside of the winter ball dates.
• Winter Ball - The ball that is used within the winter ball dates.
• Knockout Standard Ball - Ball that is used in a competition knock out rounds. E.g. Champions League Quarter Final. (I tested this one and the Standard ball did no work but I added code for the knockout round and it worked as normal)
• Knockout Winter Ball - Ball that is used in a competition knockout round but it falls within the winter ball dates.

I will keep testing and hopefully have something done soon. Nice one!!

im currently working on and testing it my guy.

I'll have something done over the weekend if it does work

not a colchester fan mate but looking at all their highlight vids on their YT channel, they haven't played in a red kit. 

seems to be blue and white stripes at home and yellow for away

I've been looking the in the Editor for FM23 and the attached images show the only leagues that have Winter Ball Start and End dates.

I will try and add as many winter balls as I can for these leagues for people to test out if they want to. 

I will try to get it done over the weekend for anyone who wants it.

thanks man, I appreciate the kind words.

I have just tested my method out in Ligue 1 using the code I put in the previous comments. First game of the season used the white ball correctly and then I simmed to January and the winter ball was being used correctly.

I think what I will do is create another ‘balls’ folder and place it in the alts with the code for all comps using 2 balls and if anyone wants to use it and test it then all good. I'll get it done as soon as I can and go from there.

I have literally just figured out how to do this!

So using Ligue 1 as an example, in my ‘balls’ folder, I have 2 saved balls - no pun intended haha

File names are ‘ligue 1’ and ‘ligue 1 w’. The one with the w was a yellow balls. I added the code below to the config file and it changed the dark orange winter ball to the yellow one I had saved. I obviously need to test it more but I think it does.
 

<!-- France - Ligue 1 -->   

<record from="ligue 1" to="graphics/pictures/balls/16/default"/>   

<record from="ligue 1 w" to="graphics/pictures/balls/16/winter"/>

I will test again and update you and then edit the download on here

thanks mate. see attached. i've added them into the download zip file too but placed them in the alts folder. just make sure to change the name of them when moving over.

possibly mate yeah. you could always try changing the winter ball colour to white in preferences>customise skin colour.

let me know if you figure a way round it

I'm not too sure, do you have the 3D balls installed?

Cheers man, thanks to you too for the previous ones and the config file!

Thanks man. I have added to the folder and moved my J League one to the ‘Alts’ folder so people can swap it if they want to.

FA Cup is 2022/23 ball. New one will probs be released in Jan 24.

Carabao Cup - Updated normal and high vis for 23/24

Champs League - high vis 23/24

Europa and Conference - Cant find any high vis balls for them, if you have a link to any, send it over mate.

i have the prem one already. ill have at look at the others later on mate

Cheers man, appreciate it.

I've attached some here that I have done myself. Feel free to use them or change / alter them in any way. 

I HAVE NOT TESTED ALL OF THEM FYI.

try them mate, I think they're the right balls but I haven't tried them out yet

UCL 23/24 ball and preview from in game

The code I added into my FMF file is below mate. My file name for the ball is ‘fortuna liga’.

<!-- Czech Republic - Fortuna Liga -->   <record from="fortuna liga" to="graphics/pictures/balls/131287/default"/>  

<!-- Czech Republic - MOL Cup -->   <record from="fortuna liga" to="graphics/pictures/balls/136040/default"/>

I created this one myself mate, my first go at doing one so not sure how good it is but it looks ok in game. I had to edit the FMF file too and I also use it for the MOL Cup.

fortuna liga

Any chance of creating this ball graphic?

Cheers lad, appreciate all the effort!
