I've been a constant consumer on games from EA (www.ea.com). I've liked them all so far. I like soccer games specially from them because on every newer title, I want to see how much the game itself has developed. Boy, this game tops them all. Here you will find some general characteristics I've considerated for this review:
General
When It comes to performance, this game is well deserved a 5 star rating. Its incredible how detailed the items (players, sideline crew, stadiums and such) are on it. The intro movie on the game itself gives you the actual condition of the game. The sound will inevitably will take you "inside the game", play calling, comentators and crow reaction is a plus. The greatest on soccer games so far.
Configuration of Game
This game gives you a TOTAL capability of configurating game scenario, players and teams. Creation and edition are also available. Envoroments such as rain, sleet, snow and heat are available for your game. The AI for the CPU players is customatizable so you can play against a team of "Ronaldos" or a team of dummys. On the games website www.fifa2002.com there are tons of patches for customizating squads, games, sidelines, flags, players, stadiums, rosters and all that.
Playability
Pass and shoot accuracy/tempo... man, the best ever created; unlike previous soccer games, the player has phisical and logical abilities for the game. Passes are to be directed to a player if you want the ball to get there, other wise, the ball will go in another direction and your player will need to sprint out to reach for the ball. Goal shoots better be aimed to the net, otherwise the ball will be on the bleachers. The multiplayer mode is great and there are several options for connecting to another computer.
System requirements
In order to experience all the power and punch thie game has for you, you better have a PIII with 128MB, 3D card with 16MB (minimum)and a good souncard. When it comes to gamepads, the best recommended are the ones with one or two analog sticks, due to the great passing and shooting technology.
