Summary: Why say the game is bad since it's the best one out
Review: This game is the best one out. I think that we all agree that it's better than everyk other soccer game. It has a slight improvement over FIFA 99 but it's still an improvement. So if this game is the best one out why say it's bad.

Summary: Heavily MLS focused ...
Review: This is probably *the* football game you want to buy if you're into the MLS. If not, stick with an earlier version and hope that FIFA 2001 returns to form with a more global view. I read the reviews prior to buying and wasn't deterred by the lukewarm reception of Phil Schoen and Julie Foudy as the commentators. I figured, "what the heck? I'm more interested in the gameplay improvements anyway" (last EA FIFA title for me was Road to the World Cup 98 which I think is the superior of the two). Let me tell you, though, Foudy and Schoen *are* annoying and they do detract from the experience in a big way. I could only handle two full matches with the commentary on. EA Sports should be sent off the pitch for replacing John Motson. It does matter. The packaging, messaging and overall tone of the game is heavily biased toward MLS. You don't need to know much about football to know that MLS doesn't hold a candle to the European leagues. As for the gameplay -- well there are some improvements. The options, controls and features haven't changed much if at all. There's a few new moves compared to RTTWC 98 which are fun -- options to shield the ball, some new moves (360 degree turns, flip kicks, step overs, etc.) and better free kick targeting. The gameplay moves much faster and it takes some getting used to. I was used to world class in RTTWC 98 and was thoroughly trounced in professional level in FIFA 2000. That's a good thing though. Didn't want it to be too easy. The passing indicator is dubious at best. It's green if the lane is open, yellow if a defender is near and red if it's blocked. No matter the color, though, most of my passes were easily intercepted. Camera angles and graphics are vastly improved as well. The players are also more emotive than before. The music, of course, is still cool. In all, though, I wouldn't recommend this version if you're looking to upgrade an older FIFA release. The addition of the MLS isn't a bonus in my book and the commentary severely detracts from the experience. Hopefully, EA Sports will get back to form with FIFA 2001 or RTTWC 2002. If you can't wait until then you can't say you weren't warned ...

Summary: Buy it!
Review: This is the best soccer game at the moment. The amount of teams is brilliant especially the older teams. I guess its cool that it has an MLS license but the people that moan about it not being a good use of the license are wrong. I mean who cares about MLS when you can play as English, Spanish, and Italian teams to name a few. The graphics are also really good, I love the inside the goal replay camera, and the way the players open their mouths to celebrate after a goal is unique. Overall, you should get this game if you like soccer even a little bit because it is the best.

Summary: A shame!
Review: This time EA Sports really screwed it up... That once thrilling, fun game has become an annoying, outstandingly boring piece of junk. Why do they change stuff no one complained about? We can no longer choose in what stadium to play, transfers have become a hard-to-solve puzzle -- due to a ridiculous money limit --, we can't choose more than 8 teams in a league or merely one in a season... They completely messed up the Brazilian league, reducing it to 7 teams and making the players' names unrecognizable. And how was the game "improved"? They created the season mode -- be careful: if you get down to 2nd division, there's no 2nd division to play in! Oh, they added the MLS, even though no one had asked for it. And they added classical teams, which created some funny situations: you can easily beat Holland '74 playing for Al-Nasr in the professional mode; however, in the World class mode, you can't even beat Al-Nasr, even if you are a '74 Dutch! I've been buying the series since '97, and all that could be asked for was maybe the Argentine league. Now we have the pathetic leagues from Israel, Turkey, but we didn't get Argentina -- and lost Portugal. A shame!

Summary: FIFA2000-MLS doesn't deliver what it promises.
Review: Where to begin... Their own box promises Major League Soccer, and yet when you load it up you find no option to play a season in this league. EA did a miserable job of researching the players. The box boasts "All the players." Many key players are missing worldwide, let alone in the MLS (Kubik, Moreno, McBride, R. Williams...the list goes on..) I would forgive all this if they gave the user a good editor to change it with... but it's the same useless editing system FIFA99 had. Other disappointments... You can only play as one team in a season, unlike in past versions where you could play as all if you wanted to. The game speed is like a juiced up hockey game and nothing at all like a real organized soccer match. (EA... if you can give Normal, Fast, Faster and Fastest... why not slow, slower and simulation speed? ) (People who played the earlier versions of this game will miss John Motson. They have been replaced by some mediocre, at best, commentary from Julie Foudy and Phil Schoen.)

Summary: Waste of Money
Review: Who does EA Sports think it is fooling? This game is worthy of an add-on to Fifa 99 at best. I found myself getting extremely bored of this game. There is, as of yet, no internet support, poor AI, un-real simulation, and mediocre team management. I advise all to wait till the next one comes out- I'm sure after their poor sales EA will finally take the hint and actually produce a NEW game- not some tired version of Fifa 99.

Summary: Patches, patches, patches.
Review: Why Americanize the game when it's a world sport? 1) Commentary just flat out stinks! Download the English commentary patch with Motson, Lawerenson, and Lineker. A piano dropping out of the sky? 2) Facial features looks terrible and was much more realistic in 99. 3) Player skill moves are neglected. Still can't do the nutmeg on the keyboard. The straight arms and shielding is okay. 4) Difficulty: Much easier to pass defenders in world class mode. Way too hard to connect on crosses unless it is a set piece. Most of the time the ball drops real softly toward goal when you try to get a good header from a running cross. 5) Graphics: Behind the net cam is nice and so is the slow motion replay, but the facial features looked way too unlike the players in real life. More like cartoon interpretations. 6) The player attributes scale doesn't really distinguish them by much. The 1-7 scale is too narrow, and why does non-keepers have goalkeeper ratings? 7) Introducing set pieces were okay, but you can't pick who you want as the three choices they give you in team management. That gets frustrating when you have a weaker player who can't head the ball. 8) Tackling: The dive button they introduced can make it frustrating when it seems the defender flat out chopped your legs off and there is no card! 9) The only real plus about the game is the added choices for IGM. You can change formations for the front, midfield, and back line. 10) The music was alright too. Robbie Williams was a good pick. I was really disappointed the first time I played this game, and thought 99 was much better. The only consolation is when I began to play with friends and that made it worth it. Just remember to download patches. They have a lot of improvement to do.
