Best Football Sim To Date!
Why oh why do people continue to write this game off?This simply has to be the best football game ever!It has all the Licsenced players, teams, Cups, Leagues, etc. excellent graphics.The new gameplay is superb.Ok, it takes some getting used to, but once you master it, it's like the real thing.So, if you're another one of these lazy gamers who just want's to pick it up and play, and be great at it straight away, go else where.However, if like me, you like a bit of a challenge then you will reap the rewards.You have to own this game!

FIFA 2002 VS Wimps
This is a definitive Review of Fifa 2002.You may of heard 2001 is better, well if you don't how to use a playstation joystick then that is the case or don't have any arms. FIFA 2002 is the most realistic Football game ever,(Players names and logos except the dreamcast logo for arsenal are included) the new Control system is new a level in gaming history. Passing system is based on players strengths and weakness's. The graphics and sound are the excellent and the commentatory is simple but can be forgiven. The Gameplay is excellent, especially when your 2 down and you have only minutes to score. FIFA is for the big boys and Girls not for wimps. If you Football simulation FIFA is the one. If you want Arcade Football game go to the amusement arcades.

More and More FIFA
I love football and was eagerly anticipating a new FIFA title after the disappointment of FIFA 2001, as I expected graphics were superb but something was lacking in gameplay which can only be truely experienced by placing a good ISS game. Give credit to Ea though they have done their homework with up to date teams and sponsors which adds something for football fans but its not enough to keep you coming back for more. Having said that there are some nice new touches which perhaps makes the game worth while. It seems Ea though don't listen to public opinion since on one FIFA an excellent feature is introduced and in the next edition it isn't included. All in all a good football sim for a football fan but true die hards, and non football fans will find this game lacking.

FIFA 2002 is absolutely rubbish
I was desperate to get hold of a footy game having been hugely disappointed by This Is Football 2002 and other titles. I chose FIFA 2002 thinking it's been developed by a British team so they should know their footy given that the original Canadian developers probably do FIFA purely for commercial reasons.I paid 39.99 for this piece of rubbish. I just can't believe how bad this game is. Don't let anyone else tell you otherwise. FIFA 2002 is a load of bu***cks. Let's get one thing straight the graphics are very good with detailed but smaller than usual players to the grass and the stadiums. The commentary is very good as well, little repetition during the course of the game but the music is top class not surprising given that it is provided by the Ministry of Sound. The music can be played during the match on top of the commentary and the realistic sound effects which is an ace feature.You've got your usual league, cup and world cup qualification tournaments. All top club sides and international sides are included.Where this game completely falls down is in the gameplay. The single most major problem is the camera view. You have about 9 camera views to play the game in but all of them are inadequate. Most people will use the Tele cam which is adjustable by the player but even then it is nigh on impossible to make a well judged pass or tackle when the game is being played on the far touch line as the camera just doesn't zoom in on the action enough. The player movement off the ball is awful as they tend to remain in formation rather than find space so most times you'll lose possession because you can't see any midfield players who remain just off screen so the defence just make long hopeful passes (even after making tactical/formation changes or having the scanner on).The cross/lob system in this game is atrocious. No matter what you do the crosses tend to have no proper height or direction it's as if the CPU chooses a predefined route for the ball after you pressed left and Cross. You can try and press other buttons or move the analogue stick after making the shot but it makes no difference. What really sums this game up is during certain moments in the game if someone scores from just outside the box the camera isn't able to keep up so all you'll see is the ball bouncing of the net to the ground and totally miss the shot flying into the goal.I could go on and on about all the problems in FIFA 2002 but my advice to you is don't be fooled by the excellent presentation and poor gimmicks of this EA game. If you do want to buy it then go and pick up the FIFA 2001 and FIFA 2002 boxes, read the descriptions on the back and ask yourself why is it that EA say the same things each year and always disappoint.

getting worse each year
Like many, year after year I've bought the new, improved fifa, and each year I ultimately feel let down. sure the licensing is the ace in the pack and the snazzy menus and music, even the look of the game initially, but a month down the line it gets left on the shelf, courtesy of dull gameplay. this is not football.this is kick and rush.and score.and score again. first game that you win 7-0 you feel like diego himself, but completing a league season playing as the worst team and finishing champion with 130 goals scored and 16 conceded makes a short life-span.The much trumpeted new passing system is a massive let-down making the game worse if anything, characters are small,distant and the facial close-ups are shocking.EA are having a laugh at our expense, knowing they're guaranteed mega-sales their standards nosedive. In my opinion this series reached its peak with world cup '98 which although it had limited teams, certainly had in game atmosphere.Its been downhill ever since. I always shuddered at the thought of ISS with its "witty" name approximations but believe me. Pro evolution soccer is leagues ahead of any fifa, challenging, rewarding, realistic scorelines, tense matches. Its this thats in my PS2 four months later whilst fifa's 2001 & 2002 gather dust on the shelf. I think I'll give world cup 2002 a miss this time.
