stevemc Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 Hi all, I've finally completed this project, all are 2560x1600 at 227px, which is basically MacBook retina size, so the quality is superb. It's 880 pictures strong (around 220mb in file size) but I am however happy to update this over time, likewise if you notice any errors or any additions you'd like please let me know and I'll correct them. Steps to add to your game; 1. Download here 2. Unzip and place here: ▸ Documents ▸ Sports Interactive ▸ Football Manager 2019 ▸ graphics ▸ backgrounds ▸ managers 3. Go to preferences and click "Reload Skin" Please note: For these to work you'll need to use a custom transparent skin, or the Base Skins. There is a Background Mod here too if needed. If you'd like to use the transparent panels from my screenshots, then; 1. Download my background and background fade folders here 2. Unzip and place here: ▸ Documents ▸ Sports Interactive ▸ Football Manager 2019 ▸ skins ▸ skin name ▸ graphics ▸ boxes ▸ custom ▸ background fade ▸ Documents ▸ Sports Interactive ▸ Football Manager 2019 ▸ skins ▸ skin name ▸ graphics ▸ boxes ▸ custom ▸ background 3. Go to preferences and click "Reload Skin" Enjoy... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Hi all, I’ve been working on a project of adding manager pictures to the background of various football managers throughout the game, I’ve been doing this for my own personal use, just for the leagues I load up on my saves, and never shared anything like this before but happy to share if allowed and people are interested. Background images are just from Google search, aspect-ratio-scaled down to 1500x1000, good quality and compressed to their smallest file size without loss of any quality. You obviously need to use a transparent skin to be able to view these in game. So far, as of December 2018, I’ve done manager backgrounds for the following leagues (around 650 pictures in total): BRAZIL: Campeonato Brasileiro Série A (Complete) CHINA: Chinese Super League (Complete) ENGLAND: Premier League (Complete) Championship (Complete) League One (Complete) League Two (Complete) Vanarama League (Complete) FRANCE: Ligue 1 (Complete) GERMANY: Bundesliga (Complete) GREECE: Superleague (Complete) INTERNATIONAL: A random bunch of random international managers so far (Complete) ITALY: Serie A (Complete) NETHERLANDS: Eredivisie (Complete) PORTUGAL: Primeira Liga (Complete) RANDOM: I’ve added a few random backgrounds of ex-players that are now coaches/managers; Maradona, Van Nistelrooy, Carrick etc… (Complete) RUSSIA: Premier League (Complete) SCOTLAND: Premiership (Complete) Championship (Complete) SPAIN: La Liga (Complete) TURKEY: Super Lig (Complete) UNEMPLOYED: A random bunch of unemployed, high-profile managers that are likely to be re-employed (Complete) UKRAINE: Ukrainian Premier League (Complete) USA: MLS (Complete) Couple of examples below: Links to my downloadable FM files: FM19: Managers Background Pack FM19: International Team Background Pack FM19: Competition Background Pack (Club & International) [FM19] - Long Team Names - English Leagues Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

handy500 Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 Nice background Steve...I think only problem might be a lot of us use Dazs8 mega background pack and he put manager backgrounds in with the player backgrounds but he used their unique numbers where as you have used their names in your pack so yours won't show if the managers background is in Dazs if you know what i mean Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
