The most glaring hole (at least for US gamers) will likely be the "fake" US league play with non-Major League Soccer teams and players. FIFA 99's main shortcomings are, for the most part, fixable, thanks to the game's wealth of options. The various song tracks, along with accurately timed two-person play-by-play commentary, make FIFA 99 an enjoyable listening experience. Once again, EA Sports tapped into the alt-rock realm to spruce up a soccer game, this time recruiting Fatboy Slim's "Rockafeller Skank" as the game's theme song. The latter option is a surprisingly great multiplayer mode since it kills the clock - it's odd no one thought of this before. The second is a golden goal mode that sets a goal limit between two teams. The first is a European dream league mode that pits the best teams from the various leagues against each other. FIFA 99 also introduces two smart playing modes that will surely appeal to soccer fans. This game's in-depth team strategies remain intact for players keen on coaching as well as playing. It boasts all the key international soccer leagues, teams, and players, along with the ability to customize anything from cup tournaments to the colors on a player's sock.
Like earlier FIFA titles, this game comes fully loaded with options. Fortunately, these cosmetic blemishes are hardly noticeable, thanks to the very realistic and eye-pleasing player animations such as when goals are missed or scored. In some far-away camera views, the field textures show cracks. Up close, players look somewhat blocky and reveal the occasional polygon flicker. Visually, the game has its slight drawbacks. It's a far cry from the PlayStation's FIFA days of (relative) o ld. Bottom line: no choppy animation, no sluggish player control. The default speed is very easy on the eyes, and when the gameplay speed is cranked to fastest, it still runs smoothly.
