dazbowski Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 I know like me alot of you don't like the skin so if you go to sortitoutsi in the forums and the released skins, there's a skin availablefor fm09, it's not the best ever but it's decent and it's easier on the eye than the headache inducing default one!

dazbowski Posted November 7, 2008 Author Share Posted November 7, 2008 fair play, each to their own, the default skin gives me a headache, so it's just nice for people like me to have a choice, I can stop poppin my pills now! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Bladesman Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 Any link to the new skin? I'm surprised and cautious until I've seen it - the tools needed to make skins aren't, as far as I am aware, available to the public yet. If it's just a re-hash of a FM08 skin, it's likely to have some problems... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike7077 Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 The default skin is pretty much the same as that of '08. But it's been toned down and cleaned up a little. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

homerjnick Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 FM08's default skin was too bright and I did not like that one. This years one if pretty good, I am happy with it and there is no way it is as "white" as FM08. I'm happy with it, about time too Ter! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluffy_sheep2 Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 The skin is the main reason why I won't be playing FM 09 as soon as it's out. I've been playing with SmurfDude's Flex skin on 08 for over 6 months and it's brilliant. I can't go back to white lol. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lordy Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 Not a fan of the default skins of either FM08 or FM09 personaly so i will be waiting for a super cool custom skin! I was checking my old CM/FM game boxes yesterday the CM4 skin looks great on the box, cant remember what it was like in game though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
trekman Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 dazbowski what version of the demo did you download Vanilla or Strawberry? I have the Strawberry one and it contains a couple of skins including the fm2008 one and the new FM2009 one which is brilliant I think. I dont think the Vanilla demo has as much graphics in the download so maybe your using the FM2008 skin which is horrid. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hazzydeepy Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 I think the defualt skin is reasonably good - Mutch better than 08's awful one and i'd say the same as 2007's. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pompeyfan Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 Cheers, I can finally play the demo as the default ones gave me such a headache from eyestrain I gave up after a couple of friendlies. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
drunkpunk Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 I was really worried about this years skin but they've got it pretty much right IMO. FM08 was far too bright and after 10 minutes of playing it for the first time I had to change it. I can comfortably use the 09 one. My only problem is the colour of the high stats (15+), doesn't seem bright enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne\'o Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 im my skin folder on 09 Demo, i can only get 1 to work. so dont even know what the other looks like. theres 2 out this year.? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gullee Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 It shows two FM09 skins for me too but they same to be one and the same. I like the FM09 skin. I like clear and uncluttered skins so the default ones work good for me. FM08 skin was too bright so had to switch to a FM07 looking skin on that one.

Never had a problem with 'dforlan9' 's stuff in the past - this seems to be fine...so far..... at least we can see through to the background pics - for me (in case you didnt know) the Stadium Pics on match-day is a important to get more of the match-day feel. so, well done.

acmilano112000 Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 I can't wait for someone to make a skin mimicking the nice green ones of fm06 and 07. Someone did it last year for fm08 and it was a great skin. now i've used it for years and i can't deal with the blue player attributes. they dont stick out to me like the great shades of orange that they used to use with the green skin. Anyone else really want the old greenie back as an option? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
