FIFA 99

"EA Sports scores the Hat-Trick"

How could I start off by saying how great this game is? Well let's start off with the 250 club teams that belong to 14 different leagues and a league filled with different teams coming from Greece, Croatia, Russia and other European countries. Just like last year the US league is still fake. It dissapoints me that EA Sports didn't put the MLS in that space. EA Sports features 40 international teams that were in World Cup '98. They've thrown out the Penalty Shootout mode and they have developed a Golden Goal mode, you set the amount of goals you want to play to (1-10) and the first one to reach the amount of goals is declared the winner. Exhibition mode is also back and EA has put in a mode called "Quick Start", which gets you straight to the action between the two English soccer titans Manchester United and Arsenal. Ever wanted make your own leage or cup tournament? Well, now you can with Custom Cup or League. You pick what's the cup's/league's name, how many teams are in it, and when it starts. I'll say it again EA Sports has scored the Hat-Trick.
