Posted by Matt European Clubs Patch Under DevelopmentI have received the following great story (shortened) from Dimitris Vagianos from HSN (full story can be found over at the MRA site): "This year the HSN and many helpers worldwide will create the best (personal opinion) patch that has ever been made for the FIFA series. The patch calls itself 'European Clubs Patch' or in shorter ECP. The name European comes because we will have only European Clubs (we wont touch the National Teams) and only one South American Team the Boca Juniors (with kits,rosters,badges,flags) in case you want to play the Toyota Cup Final for the World Champion :-)) The idea started in my mind two weeks before when I really needed to play with great East European Clubs and wasn't able. So I started to contact European guys and I was amazed from their willing mood (a big thank you to the guys from Poland first).
If anyone from you is willing to help just e-mail us (asn@freemail.gr). We want BIG help from anyone fan of the above added Leagues. We need kit creators , rosters maker and graphics designers to be added to our Group . Of course in ECP there will be the kits, the rosters,the flags and the badges of the remaining Clubs with their National Teams. Also we will try to create the Champions League Star logo in the sleeves of the participants teams . The ECP will be released (at least two months the full version or earlier a beta one). The patch will also be compatible with the excellent Sweetpatch MRA. A big thank (so far) to our helpers and if you want to help don't hesitate. The url's are http://asn.fifagaming.com for the English Page and http://go.to/hsn for the Greek page with information in our language. Also a new tournament its about to begin in the new year with many members already signed". Pay the lads a visit and if you are able to assist them then please send them a mail. As always, full details of this patch can be found in the Patches Database.Posted by Dave | Have Your Shout | The Ultimate Feyenoord Pack is released |
