There are a lot of improvements in FIFA 98 , but the most important one is that the game is very fun.
There is a variety of realistic moves, and some are quite dramatic when they involve shots on goal. Multiplayer is where this game excels, but the One-player Modes are fast and challenging.
For a change of pace, you can even try some frantic indoor soccer. There are only two major flaws with FIFA.
First, the goalie A. For example, sometimes the goalie will walk by a ball that should be picked up, or will dive at routine catches. It'll cause you to grumble "cheap goal" more than a few times, I'm sure. Next, the frame rate is suspect at some points during the contest.
It doesn't hurt the pace of the game much, but you'll notice it occasionally. FIFA 98's 3-D graphics are excellent. The players are very detailed, and they have a variety of realistic moves. The atmosphere of the game just feels right, and if you like you can dampen it with the rain, sleet or snow options. FIFA 98 is a huge improvement over last year's version. FIFA 64's engine has been totally overhauled for the better. The stadiums are more detailed, the player animations are much smoother and the gameplay is much more intuitive and friendly.
Multiplayer games are a blast and the whole experience reminds me of ISS64, and that's a good thing. The goalie Al is braindead at times, but other than that, all is peachy. Al Sports: It's not in the game. Soccer games are getting better and better. A few flaws prevent FIFA 98 from reaching stardom. Inconsistent goalie Al they don't seem to know where the ball is sometimes ; 2. Poor frame rates even in 4x4 indoor soccer and 3.
Poor passing mechanics. Overall, the game is fairly entertaining. I hope EA keeps improving the series. If so, FIFA 99 will be king. What a difference a few months can make! The game controls really nicely, the graphics are awesome the frame rate could've been better, but it's hardly bad , and the play-by-play is excellent. Indoor Soccer is a blast too.
My only gripe is that goalie Al can get flaky at ti mes. If you're a soccer enthusiast that was a little let down from FIFA '97 , you'll definitely dig the improvements made to this year's game, which make it the best on the Nintendo And since this is the only soccer game with the official World Cup license, you can also try to earn a spot in the World Cup championship in the Road to World Cup mode.
As far as teams go. On the features side, FIFA throws in 16 re-created outdoor stadiums and one indoor stadium, along with the ability to manage every aspect of your team from its formations to its roster --you can even tweak your players' aggression levels. You also have the option to create a custom player and put yourself in the lineup.
FIFA '98's overall presentation is really topnotch, featuring some of the best all-around graphics, sound, and control found in a soccer title. The players are superbly detailed and move with fluid grace, and the character animations are so realistic, you'd swear you were watching a televised game the goal-scoring celebrations are especially cool.
On the sound side, FIFA '98 never misses a beat with its two-man commentary, and the in-game effects and crowd chants really raise the intensity during the match.
Borrowing a page from International SuperStar Soccer 64, the control for this year's feet-fest is probably the most improved feature of the game. Now, instead of having to rely on a radar screen, an arrow will appear attached to the cursor under the player you're controlling, alerting you to where your closest teammate is--it really makes passing simple and helps create an upbeat tempo.
You can also easily perform one-touch passes, and give-and-gos work more effectively this year. These features--along with some cool deke moves--really add excitement and flair to each contest.
If you think you had seen it all in a soccer game--think again. So if you're looking for fast-paced soccer thrills, you need to kick up a copy of Road to World Cup. In its perennial soccer outing, EA's focusing on World Cup qualifying, adding in a mode that lets you try to guide one of national teams to the pinnacle of the spoil.
As always, FIFA delivers more teams that you know what to do with, throwing in an additional club teams from 11 leagues. Beyond tuning up the graphics for '98, the FIFA team's also zeroing in on faster gameplay, tighter controls, and sturdier A. You also have the option to opt-out of these cookies.

Necessary Necessary. The players look as close to real as possible I'm not a huge soccer fan, but I did notice Alexi Lalas' flowing red locks right away and they move fluidly. When they score goals they jump around and celebrate, sometimes even piling on each other if it's a big goal. The stadiums look beautiful; they even have all those corporate ads around the sidelines. In fact, the attention to detail is so exact in this game that you can see the blue and white parts of the soccer ball rotate as it spins through the air.
I've had some problems running Electronic Arts games on my machine, but this one runs nice and smooth. I played it on a Mhz machine with 96 Mb of RAM and had no problems despite the fact that EA's football games ran choppily or didn't recognize my 3D card.
I really like games which don't require a phone call to the tech-support department just to get them running properly. My only gripe in this department is the presence of four-way shadows indicating that the sun is directly overhead during night games. Over on the audio side, I like the way this game sounds, although it could use more oomph in the crowd noise.
Soccer crowds have to be the best in all of sports; they chant and cheer constantly, but World Cup 98 doesn't quite capture everything.
