One thing I've always strived for when adding chants has been the consistency level like EA has in their games when one team has specific chants and the other one doesn't.
E.g. if you launch F14/16/21 and start a game let's say Spartak Moscow vs Chelsea, you'll hear some specific Chelsea chants but they will generally be on the same level as Spartak with their generic "European chants".

But if you add custom chants to let's say CSKA Moscow and launch a game of Spartak vs CSKA, you'll definitely hear a lot of "alien" and loud, less quality and more cracking custom CSKA chants and generic "European" for Spartak.

So if we were to have an ideal Chant pack, in my opinion we would have to make sure that the custom chants don't stand out too much when the opposing team doens't have custom chants assigned.
In other words, replicate EA chants style as much as possible.
Since it's basically impossible to assign chants to every single team, we could at least minimize the discreptency between generic and custom.

here are some PSV Eindhoven chants


I still have 4 chants to add, but the pack is done (I mean chants selection). Tell me if they need more volume or less (they are normalized and in-out faded), no chants with one drunk guy on a pub :D

I've just heard them and they are awesome. Clean, not too long, athmospheric. I think they will blend just perfect in the overall game audio background as long as the decibel level is the right one.

thanks for feedback :) tell me if you test in game later, normally they should already be at game level or more or less (depending on the audio settings ingame used, for example, I let crowds level to 9 or 10 but get stadiums calls and commentary to 7 or 8). The general volume of the chants can be adapted of course.
Yep, I try not to add players chants (useless when the player leave the team.. or specific against a team (for example Catania Calcio has a chant "noi non siamo Palermitani" but this would not fit the chants pack, you can add it separately but need to make a specific playlist only for 1 or 2 chants this is not possible) So I try to keep teams crowds chants that can fit every game :)

About national teams chants, I think chants pack can be made for many of them too, including some region - continent generic chants for teams which have only 2 - 4 specific chants.

Speaking of NT chants I remember collecting info on the chants I heard at the stadiums and in the streets during WC 2018 in Russia and making THIS THREAD, maybe it could be of some help.

Also speaking of Russia @gonzaga I don't wish to disturb the Belgian/Dutch vibe lately but I really hope Spartak's Otkrytie Arena could get a fix for the grey glass panels :D and hopefully one day we could see the only remaining Neftyanik Stadium (Ufa) & proper Arena Khimki and Akhmat Arena conversions to start a new 20-21 career with HBZ mod <3

Hey guys! Here is the next creation of mine... Built from scratch.


Again great work!! I can tell because I'm going some there on away games, really nicely done, realistic with behind goals small tribunes :)

One of the most typicals in the country are Daknam from Sporting Lokeren (now relegated), Het Kuipje from Westerlo (relegated too but model done basically for pes 6) and Le Cannonier from Excelsior Mouscron (kingmuro made the model I think), at Mouscron, behind goal stands for away fans are soo tiny that if you are in front, you can not even see other side of the grounds lightings (roof with adverts is blocking the sight).

Old KV Mechelen ground was also typical, but new one (made by kingmuro) is sooo nice with great work from the building company :D

Thanks for this Beveren one!!

I don't know, the website I posted before is I think, at least lot different because the chants packs are update every season with new ones for each teams.

I think mariantim took a base of old fifa's chant packs, added maybe old zaitsev ones' and some from manager posted (the forum link I posted here above).

honestly I don't have time to check all this, but thanks Nikolapfc for the help nice contribution!! (I saw mariantim pack on SG but links were deleted) BUt honestly, a huge fifa 10 chants pack was posted on fifa 10 forum by mariantime a few years ago (15gb), so I doubt that the new chants added on manager packs are included :) to be checked

thank you for your detailed reply, valambrosio! If they're different, at least for the most part, all the better! Can't have enough of variety....so thanks and great stuff! :bouncy:

Also i use YT videos to record chants for teams that have in FIFA 20/21. Here is Barca for example

Yes, Youtube is a great source. Can almost find some games or fan vids with chants for ANY club. The mp3s from the YT vids can be downloaded via jdownloader. :)
Thank you for your efforts and work nikola. =)

This is the decibel level I'm trying to keep for every song. Sometimes the songs are more than minute, which is not very good, but the song are so beautiful that I can't push myself to cut them short :)

How long does a chant usually play within Fifa when its a long mp3? I haven't figured that out yet.. If it's let's say 20 secs then what you could do is split the 1 min song into 3 parts of 20 secs and have them listed in the playlist right after each other. =) (Though I'm not sure if Fifa actually keeps the order from the playlist...I think it goes random a lot? Haven't really tried much chants yet but I love exploring this new world of fun! :dance:

Hi, people! Today's release is Lavanttal Arena. Credits to @kingmuro for the model.



Excellent work as usual, Gonzaga! One thing I'm noticing though - and I have noticed this with all kinds of stadiums by different makers and also when I did textures myself - the blue or even whitish edges the trees have. You can see it in that screenshot too (beside the grey building).
Usually its supposed to be transparent with the rest of the background but it seems pretty hard to erase all bluish pixels. Also inside the tree crowns. Generally asking, is there any way to do this neat and clean? EA seems to have this down to a tee.!? No blueish pixels whatsoever with trees with their stadiums!

I'm thinking one way to fix it would be using a color replacer tool and replacing blueish tones with greenish tones (preferably the same ones from the trees). But that's a roundabout way to make it look better, ideal would be to really get all the blue pixels erased. I'll try to keep on playing around myself.

humm I honestly have never count the seconds, but for what I've heard, I think long chants are never played totally this is why we should better keep not too long chant with outro db smoothing
It seems that it's random too, the game pick up random chants on the playlist, this I'm almost sure of it :)
