FM20 Backgrounds: Nations & Continents Pack

[stevemc]

Hi all,

I’ve been working on a number of background projects, this one is adding countries flags to the background of all international football teams throughout the game, I’ve been doing this for my own personal use, but decided to release this for the community.

I've continued this on from FM19 and updated, all are 2560x1600 at 227px, which is basically MacBook Pro Retina size, so the quality is superb in most instances. They have been compressed to their smallest file size without loss of quality. These backgrounds will show on the "nation" and "team" (main, u21, u20, u19, u18 etc) screens but not the "stadium" screen, so it's compatible with other stadium background packs.

Nations Teams pack is 227 pictures (298mb in file size). Continents Pack is 7 pictures (1.1mb in file size).

If you notice any errors or any additions you'd like please let me know in this thread and I'll correct/add them.
