I have to say that the match engine experience in Football Manager 2010 is very good, much better than in the previous version. But still, a touch of more realism could always help. That’s why I decided to install this ads pack in my game, here is how it looks:
The pack was created by Frank Hovis and it includes realistic and specific ad boards for a few European leagues (England has all the leagues covered) and for the major competitions like the Europa League and the Champions League.
How to install
First you have to download the two .zip files that I uploaded:
- ads.zip
- ads2.zip
After you download those extract ads.zip to My DocumentsSports InteractiveFootball Manager 2010 and ads2.zip to My DocumentsSports InteractiveFootball Manager 2010graphics (if there is no “graphics” folder create one yourselves). After extracting please rename the “ads2″ folder to “ads”.
In your Football Manager 2010 game preferences un-tick “Skin Cache” and tick “Always Reload Skin on Confirm”. Then click “confirm” and the ad boards should show in all their splendor.

Hey johnnyu
how big is the ads2 file supposed to be?
Downloaded twice and the size is 34,402 KB but wont unzip, i get unexpected end of archive
Dave, the file is around 43.69 MB, I’m downloading it now to see if it works. I’ll let you know.
Cheers mate
Dave, I just finished downloading and extracting the file, it works just fine… I uploaded it to another server for you, try this link.
Cheers mate, managed to download and unzip all ok but (always a but) after copying the ads folder to the FM2010 dir and the ads2 (renamed to ads) to the graphics folder I only get a default “Sports Interactive” ad boards during the game all round the pitch. Dont suppose you have come across this have you?
Have done the reload skin thing as added the facepack which works fine.
Cheers
oops never mind i’m a tit lol
got it working
hello..
i’m try..but its not working..same ads..:(
what can i do now..?
@faiz
I don’t know what to tell you, if you followed the instructions it should work.
i follow the instruction..
copy the file ads to My Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2010..in ads folder have 2 files right??
and ads2 to My Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2010\graphics and rename it to ads..
un-tick “Skin Cache” and tick “Always Reload Skin on Confirm”.
i use skin..or maybe it effect??
Faiz, try moving the “ads2″ thing to graphics/pictures instead of graphics, maybe that will work.
Hi guys,
I can’t find any graphics folder in my FM2010 folder..
Shaikan, if you don’t have a graphics folder in there you can create it yourself.
ok..thanks..it’s working..
johnny, can u give me fm10 crack..
my crack is corrupt already..huhu..
Sorry Faiz, don’t know about cracks. My advice is to buy the game, it’s worth it.
Thanks a lot for the things you’ve done for FM10 Johnny! Thanks for uploading all these!

@Stefan
Those advertisements that you see on the sides of the pitch at football games.

then i went to preferences and unticed skin cache and ticked reload skin and renamed ads2 as ads
wat am i doign wrong
Greg, it should work if you did all those things. You could try moving the “ads2″ thing to graphics/pictures instead of graphics, maybe that will work.
do i make a make a pictures folder
Yes, create a “pictures” folder inside the “graphics” folder.
still dont work
Sorry Greg, I can’t understand why.
