I had a question regarding stadiums. I just downloaded the Amsterdam Arena stadium from soccered and installed it in FifaFx with the home team as Netherlands. I made the folder, included the 4 needed .bat files, and the then copied the 8 stadium files. But it won't work!
Then I saw that the file names, instead of 04cd_p.big and so on......were 08cd_p.big...and so on. So I renamed all the 8's in all the files with 4's. But It still didn't work, and moreover, It crashed my Fifa 2002.
Can anyone explain that and tell me how to use the stadium with FifaFx?

Another question......FifaFx enables Stadiums to be used with specific teams. Installing a stadium without FifaFx replaces the original Stadium 1, or 2, so on. Is there anyway I can have more than 5 stadiums in the options menu in the game....so that I can play a friendly match in which I can choose any stadium?

whaTt you need to do is extract all the filesin the .big file and chage them from 08 to 04 then use fifa fx's stadium converter to pack them back to the .big files

you need to use the EA graphics editor from www.nba-live.com open the .big files with that and extract everything in the stadium files, chage the 08 part of them to 04

Then download fxstadconv from www.fifafx.de and put the stadconv and impbig files in the same folder as the files you just converted double click on stadconv.exe and that should be you,

just make sure there are no files left named 08 because thats why your game crashed, if the .big file is different name from the files inside it, it crashes

hope this helps

There's a much easier way to do it, actually two much easier ways:

1. Download the Amsterdam Arena from FIFA FX site instead, I think it's the same stadium just converted to be used with FIFA FX. Thats the easiest way.
2. Download the Stadium Selector in FIFA Uruguay, and that utility will let you change stadiums of any number into FIFA FX style (i.e. stadium 1, or 04 format)
