Reinventing the beautiful game
Already recognized as the world's most beautiful game, FIFA fires its most powerful shot at the competition. With all-new "open passing," you have more control and precision than ever before. Find a breaking forward with a perfect 40-yard ball into open space, embarrass the tightest defense with cunning one-twos or fool any keeper with deep swerving crosses. With a deeper Season mode, more licensed leagues and teams, a unique card-based reward system and total customization, FIFA Soccer 2002 is set to dominate the competition.
Authentic light sourcing delivers dynamic player shading and accentuated physical detail as players pass in and out of shadows. Consecutive season play with the joy of promotion and the threat of relegation offers you the chance to earn your team's progress into Europe. Cinematic cutscenes seamlessly capture all the impact, pain and emotion of a world-class game. Hardcore in-game animations capture the rough-and-tumble aspects of soccer with increased physical contact, giant collisions and crunching falls. User-selectable set plays allow you more control than ever before during key moments. This is soccer, baby.
