The most popular mods were "HD Texture Packs" for the PSP—an oxymoron that worked brilliantly. By sharpening the pitch lines and increasing the saturation of the kit numbers, modders made the game look cleaner than the official release. They even imported real sponsor logos (Nike, Adidas) by redrawing them pixel-by-pixel to fit the strict 16-bit color depth.
