For many years I have wanted to make a large pack using the many backgrounds by myself and others.
Well here it is, got to be a must for every FM fan a super pack full of quality images to enhance your gaming experience.
All have the correct xml/config files to work correctly and I have fully tested the whole pack with no problems.
Certain backgrounds will show on certain screens....
City pack images will show on all Cub screens.
Stadiums will show on all Team screens, etc.
What's in the pack?
COMPETITIONS
CLUB STADIUMS
CITY PACK
MINI STADIUM PACK (fmc/fmt)
CONFEDERATIONS
STADIUMS (overview)
NATIONAL STADIUMS
NATIONAL FLAGS
PLAYER BACKGROUNDS
Thousands of backgrounds all in one very impressive pack.
Files have all been converted to jpg to reduce the size but for the amount you get here it was always going to be large.
PACK SIZE: 8,52 GB (Red Button)

I have streamlined the pack and removed the logos and trophies I left in the pack by mistake, thats why the pack is now smaller
The pack is now as I intended, just backgrounds.

Main download link (red button) is now the torrent file
Other download links via Google or Mega are also still available
Do I really need to answer that!!
If you want them download and install, if you dont.....dont!!
is it enough to download the 7.9 gb file on top or do we have to download all the update packs, too?
Thank you for the effort made by everyone involved in this project!
I have reluctantly created a torrent file for the megapck, this relies on all users/downloads to seed the file to help create a quicker download.
So I ask everyone to please seed this file for me, thanks.

If you care to read the OP you will see that an alternate link was added a while ago for this purpose.
It is a new policy of Mega (a limit on everyone)
After you download 5 GB in less then 5 hours you get that message, but there is no problem. Just close the software and start it again after 5 hours and it will continue to download. That's what I did and it works just fine.
I fixed it. I found the picture that was conflicting with the AC Milan background (in case that anyone else has this problem). The conflicting picture is located in:
Football Manager 2017\graphics\Pictures\competitions\backgrounds\32.jpg
So, I replaced this image with the San Siro stadium image and now it looks the way it should.
This is how it was before:

This is how it is now: (like it should be):

Hey, it's me again. I tried every possible thing and I cant fix this. So, what I am thinking is to replace this exact image on it's location. I want to replace it with San Siro stadium picture and the situation will be 100% fixed. Problem is that I dont know where what picture this is. It seems to me that it might be a trophy picture or something like that. Can you help me with the picture location inside your folder ?
Zidane is in the pack all Managers of the teams we have covered are included but not all staff, the pack would be enormous, so as Ronaldinho is not a manager yet he is not included
Youre Pack is awesome ! But maybe you can add more people ?!
Ronaldinho, Zidane like that ...
great Work !
It must be as I said I am using and have all backgrounds working fine
Take out your logos and try again, but logos use a different id/config than backgrounds so it should not be a prob
I cant help further with a problem that does not exist for me, I cant fix what does not exist for me
I am also a Milan fan and I started using your pack since today and that was the first thing I noticed. The background picture for Inter works though. I even tried to change the image in the pack (id: 1099) and it still doesn't work. Can this bug be related to the logos I use ? I am asking this because I also have different logos in my graphics folder at the same time with your picture pack. Thanks for the reply.
NO
