Dynamic Face System

The Dynamic System is a very solid system for getting new faces into the game. As long as the Realism Mod is installed, this thing will work!
Simply copy and paste the system to your FIFA directory. You may want to configure the settings in v2k4settings.txt. If you do not use MPR or UFM, ensure you turn them to "0" in the file.
