About FIFA 2000 - PC
Amazon.com For the first time ever, MLS teams have the chance to go head-to-head with the world's greatest teams. So, if you want to take part in a monster battle between MLS's DC United and Europe's No.1--Man United, if you think you're good enough to take on defensive gladiators Eddie Pope (DC United and USA) and Sol Campbell (Spurs and England), get ready! If you really want to be part of this sport--get into FIFA 2000 Major League Soccer. From the Manufacturer FIFA 2000 brings you Major League Soccer in all its glory--all the teams, all the players, all the team colors. But true to the FIFA franchise, the focus on the rest of world soccer still reigns supreme. FIFA 2000 has 850 clubs, 18 of the greatest leagues in the world, more than 40 current international squads, 8 cups, and 42 classic teams. FIFA 2000 brings to life the rough-and-tumble aspects of soccer with new intense physical contact and painful falls. With a 3-D ball, new user-selected set plays, and new skill moves, gameplay is slicker than ever. The addition of continuous seasons allows teams to be promoted and relegated to bring the life of a soccer team closer to a fan's heart. Review Soccer has never been very popular in the United States, if only because its 45-minute halves of continuous action are unlike the frequent start-stop dynamic of pro football, baseball, and basketball. Throw in the typically low score of a soccer match, and it isn't difficult to understand the general lack of interest in the game. That being the case, computer and video soccer games have traditionally been designed for foreign markets and later released in the US in hopes of making some additional sales. But EA Sports changed all that with FIFA for the Sega Genesis console, which proved to be successful both in Europe and the United States, and started one of EA Sports' most important brands. And judging by FIFA 2000, this high-quality soccer franchise is still going strong. FIFA 2000 adds the 12 teams of the MLS to the existing roster of countless other leagues from around the world. Now you too can fulfill the soccer matchup urologist's dream of pitting the Kansas City Wiz against the Dallas Burn. The game's strange opening sequence of old-time players meeting the new cyber soccer athlete can be forgiven thanks to a great soundtrack that includes UK musician Robbie Williams' hit It's Only Us. Get past the intro and you'll find there are four basic modes in FIFA 2000: exhibition, tournament, season, and training. It also contains three levels of play: amateur, pro, and world class. There is a big difference in the computer's skill level between the three settings, most noticeably in the speed of the opposing players. Great weaving runs will win matches for you in the amateur level but will become obsolete at the pro level in which short, crisp passing becomes the order of the day. The training area is a good place to try to adjust to the different speed of the players at the higher levels. In addition, you can practice various set pieces, such as penalty kicks, throw-ins, and free kicks. Exhibition mode lets you match one team against another, and with teams available from such soccer-loving countries as England, Scotland, Germany, and Italy, plus classic teams from the past and a large number of international squads, the exhibition mode is almost a game in and of itself. However, the tournament mode offers more variety. Single-elimination tournaments are rare in US sports, and yet they generate huge excitement throughout the rest of the world. FIFA 2000's tournament mode lets you make a custom single-elimination tournament of the teams you want. I particularly enjoyed matching up the lesser English Premiership teams with teams from Scotland and Major League Soccer. But different combinations of teams from any of the available leagues can be put together. In addition, there is a custom league option that allows complete mixing and matching. For example, I took the
