Some of you may have used this guy's audio commentary pack in FM22. Well, he has massively overhauled and re-written the files for FM23. He has spent many years improving this software and It really does add to the immersion in the game for me. So if it's...

It's a common issue with FM. Although it's not particularly demanding to run the graphics maxed out, FM has always been a memory hog, due to all the number crunching. I would suggest 16GB RAM as a minimum if you want FM crash-free.

They've always worked, it was merely the threats from Si that killed the project. I have been using the static and video boards since always. Here's a static board for you, now that ITV have the rights to EPL football highlights for this season.

Balls, 2d and 3d kits, logos, facepacks etc, all working in FM23. You only have to try without risk of damage, so not sure why you asked, if you're using FM23 ?

Looking good ! Any visual improvements/movements in the match engine will only add to even more immersion.

Agreed mate. Shame though that your team still think they're bigger than the game and FM players.

I'm looking forward to every new feature and improvement. FM has evolved with every edition. No doubt though that some will swear by a previous version. Well the dinosaurs are extinct, long live FM23 (until FM24).

Not unless you start a new save. It's not save game compatible.

Yes, it's unfortunate because as you say, FM would not be anywhere near as immersive without third party content but I kind of understand the stance from Si. If they're seen to be turning a blind eye to community licensing alterations, then no doubt those...

For those that don't have the Europa Conference League ball, you need to rename the ball attachment to “uefa conl” and copy and paste the content of this attachment to your balls config file.

Another reminder for those that don't pay attention. ALL 2D updates from bolid will be on page 203 !!

Well said buddy. Still too many who want too much without any input themselves. Those of us who are aware do appreciate the time and skills used to create the additions that make FM far more immersive than the default version from Si.

Change them yourself then with something like paint.net, it's easy enough.

Yes I noted that and resized them to 1024x1024.

Bolid has stated in the past that he may not bother with Man U kits but the home and away are done, so no doubt he's working on that puke green 3rd kit. Hopefully the new Burnley home kit too ?

Not for 2d but 3d match balls as and when a decent graphic is available as a template.

I've tried your ball and my mod and can't see any differences. I'm not playing in the Premier League at the moment, so I don't have home screen images to compare but watching highlights of Premier League matches I'm not seeing any differences, so do you h...

Nice work Jeff ! However I hope you can forgive me but your balls are a bit elliptical, so I have rounded them off. See if you agree ?

The answer is simple, use the flutskin, the best skin out there and this issue doesn't apply.

No surprise that I have a Palace save and my focus is on developing the youth programme, where there is a lot of potential talent that has proved to be successful. I have had to let some older players go on a free after their contracts expired but that's...

I guess you are. It's just that “bolid74” produces superb 2D and 3D kits every season, which is very time consuming and he doesn't ask for any remuneration. It doesn't encourage creators such as him when nit-picking comments/criticisms are made. Sorted no...

Seeing as you've used somebody else's creation and not given any credit, then be an asshole about it doesn't do you any favours. Grow up or shut up.

The Premier League ball is also still wrong. I'm waiting for a decent image to use.

Oh Jeff, you and your OCD, like the time you asked for a Community Shield ball, lol. I did the Carabao ball as I did for symmetry and the the fact you wouldn't see those subtle differences due to the FM graphics limitations. I have a high end PC and a 4k...

Palace have released their away kit for 2022-23 but no I won't be begging, bullying or requesting that bolid produces the 2D and 3D kits for FM. He'll see them and likely will produce them without any comments from me.

Don't ask such things mate, bolid is totally aware of what's out there and the complexities of the work involved. Creators of free content need to be given the time and freedom to produce, as and when their free time allows and they find it tiresome when...

UEFA Champions League Ball 20022-23. A complex design with many colours. Somewhat wasted on FM due to graphics limitation. I've highlighted the colours to give the ball a degree of recognition.

The colours are wrong on recently posted balls. As and when I can obtain a picture I can work on, I won't issue a version I can be happy with.

I appreciate your frustration but when you're asked to clarify it doesn't help to be offensive if you're not clear on what's being asked. If you've moved your installation have you also told FM where your data location now exists ? If you can access prefe...
