Another AI improvement concerns the goalie behavior. Say you're attacking over the right wing and turn to pass towards the goal - in FIFA 99, you can be sure that one of your players will be there, ready to intercept the ball (unless the opponent is there first), take it volley or try to head it into the goal. Allied players behave more intelligently and allow for much better wing play. Naturally, this isn't a concern in the multiplayer mode. The ref should whistle after a while, but he doesn't. If you're ahead one goal, simply keep the ball in your half and slowly play back and forth. This definitely makes for more realistic soccer, although it also promotes time play to a certain degree. Instead of blindly attacking at all times, the AI opponents are more relaxed when the ball is still in your half and tend to not run around so much until you get closer to their half. For starters, the AI has received another upgrade.

Gameplay If you've been following the FIFA series on N64, you know that EA Sports has been improving gameplay and graphics steadily from the beginning, and FIFA 99 is no exception. These small gripes aside, this game certainly comes across as an authentic representation of FIFA soccer.

And how much could the J-League license possibly cost for a game published outside of Japan? As usual, Ronaldo fans will also have to do a bit of name editing since he's under contract with Infogrames for a while. EA should have spent a little more cash to include the MLS and all the major South American league licenses as the game's appeal is definitely diminished without them outside of Europe. You can also select plenty of non-European teams, but with the exception of the Brazilian league, they aren't faithfully rendered. Instead of primarily trying to recreate the World Cup tournament like most of its competitors, FIFA 99 squarely focuses on the European league, with a whopping 250 soccer teams battling for the cup. License One thing EA's soccer always had over Konami's ISS titles is the strong player, team and stadium licenses.

Season mode with more leagues and cups, and cup/league creation.

More than 250 clubs from 12 territories.

Better air control, with bicycle kicks, volleys, headers and scissor kicks.

New chest trapping for more directional control, allowing you to shield the ball from defenders' attacks.

Improved response or player commands for pinpoint passing, shots, and dribbling.

Real-time lighting effects, such as tribune and goal shadows.

Rivaled only by Konami's International Superstar Soccer series, the Software Creations co-developed title is easily the best-looking console soccer game so far - and it's got plenty of gameplay to boot. FIFA 99, the latest in the successful FIFA series is no exception. After World Cup 98 and the excellent NHL 99, EA Sports' Nintendo 64 titles seem to be pushing the N64's hardware more with every release. 1998 was a strong year for Electronics Arts.
