Even with the recent excitement generated by the US team's dominance in the Women's World Cup, soccer still isn't that large of a phenomenon in the States. American soccer fans may not be able to get Monday Night Soccer anytime soon, but they can at least get EA Sport's FIFA series - easily the best line of soccer games to hit both consoles and the PC. The latest of EA's soccer simulators, FIFA 2000, proves that the highly acclaimed FIFA line is still the best soccer series out there. There's more significance in the name FIFA 2000 than just the year. FIFA 2000 is truly the soccer game of a new millenium, and it has huge improvements over FIFA 99. The most obvious improvement is the addition of the 12 MLS teams to the already large roster of countless other leagues. Now fans of American soccer can pit their favorite US teams against each other, or even against the superior world teams. FIFA 2000 also introduces a few important gameplay additions that provide so much added depth to the game you'll wonder how you ever got through FIFA 99 without them. Mirroring popular football and baseball games on the market today, FIFA 2000 introduces icon passing from penalty locations. This makes it much easier to assist would-be strikers from the corners - with a button press you can guide a corner kick directly to your man inside the box, who is waiting to head the ball home. Another feature you'll learn to love is the pass-reliability rating - a small colored arrow in the pass direction that changes color depending on how well defended the pass recipient is. On defense, you can control your team's aggressiveness and formation on the fly, even so far as to make all your defenders leave their man and run at the ball at the touch of a button. With another touch of the button, they'll quickly return to the default strategy. All these additions are both well implemented and simple to use, enhancing the gameplay instead of overly complicating it. The basic modes you expect from the FIFA series are still intact. There's an exhibition, tournament, season, and practice mode. There's also the create-a-player mode, and you can even customize the teams to your preferences. You get to choose from tons of options, including three skill levels. You decide on the weather, the arenas, the camera angle, and more. There's a pretty big jump between skill levels; indeed, the amateur level - which the game defaults to - is a little too easy for regular FIFA players, while the professional level - the next in line - is almost a slap in the face to those used to scoring eight or nine goals a game. All of this resides behind a useful interface, that admittedly, takes some time to get used to. The exhibition mode is simple enough - pick your teams, your stadium, the weather, and other options, and then go for it. The season mode is a little more complex. Once you pick your team, you can trade players, create custom players, play around with your formations, and substitute your line around, all the while playing against different teams as you progress on your way to the World Cup. The tournament mode lets you set up a single elimination tournament. You can create your own cup as the prize for the tournament mode or use one of the default cups. The practice mode lets you select different practice scenarios to hone the weak points in your game.The graphics are probably the most notable difference from last year's game.Read full review
