Help! Does anyone know how to disable the irritating faded colours effect on classic team games?

clearly not

play against a modern team, with the modern team as the home team vs the classic as away team.

Better still, use FEd2000 to transfer teams to a modern league (e.g. Liverpool 1980's to Liverpool present day), save the .dbi files in your data/cmn/fe folder and laod them whenever you feel like playing classics. Works like a charm!

Cheers,

King Kenny.
