"The best soccer game availiable"

FIFA 99

OVERALL

This is clearly the best soccer game availiable for any gaming console. It is packed with all the best leagues, but does lack the MLS license. The gameplay is awesome, and there is a variety of camera angles to choose from. EA Sports has definetly put out their best soccer title ever, and there is no doubt about it. It has everything a soccer fan could want(exept the MLS license), and more.

Controls/ Gameplay

Anyone can pick up a controller and play this game, while still having a great time, but for the more skilled player, you can perfect dazling skill moves such as diving headers, bicycle kicks, volleys, and special fakes. The goalie control is automatic, exept for penalty kicks, and that lets the player focus on the game without worring about letting in bad goals. The gameplay is top quality and is near perfect.

Graphics

The graphics are fairly simple during the game, but the pre, mid, and post game player graphics are great. They very are realistic. For example if a player misses an open net or a great chance is sqaundered the player will show emotion for their mistake.

Options

This game has a ton of options which include customizable jerseys, player names, teams, leagues, cups, and more. You are given the option to transfer players from team to team. You can choose between 12 leagues, 250 club teams, and over 35 international teams.

FINAL GRADE 9/10

This game gets a 9 out of 10, and the reason it gets a 9 is because, beleve it or not they could have done better(MLS license, UEFA champions league license, ect...), but overall it is the best soccer game I have ever played
