In fact, EAmade much of the new motion blending feature which purports to morph between say, a running animation and a shooting animation fluidly and rapidly to provide a quicker response. This time the Virtual Stadium engine has been upgraded to match that in NHL '97 and NBA Live '97, with 3D polygon motion-captured (from the Newcastle and France winger, David Ginola) player models. Main article: List of teams in FIFA 1998 Zine Dine Zidane N° 'C': Road to World Cup 1998 Ellen Idinson N° So, here we are again, the latest incarnation of EA Sports' all conquering series of football simulations, FIFA '97. It is based on the 1998 FIFA World Cup tournament, which was played in France in June and July that year. FIFA: Road to World Cup 98 is an association football video game, developed by EA Canada.

Why we couldn't have had Trevor Brooking (ex England international player and Motson's usual sidekick in the commentary box) instead is a mystery to me, it would have completed the BBC triumvirate nicely. FIFA 98 John Motson (the BBC's top football commentator) is joined this year by Des Lynam (veteran BBC sports presenter and one-time host of the BBC's Saturday night Match of the Day highlights programme) and, somewhat bizarrely, Andy Gray (ex Wolves striker and who now spends most of his time as expert co-presenter on Sky Sports football coverage and has a tendency to play with video tapes and equipment in the process). But things began changing with the 98 titles. When it came to 3D, EA was lackluster in its early releases from FIFA 96 to other sports titles. FIFA Soccer (94) established a fun game that remained unchanged through the duration of the 16bit era. Konami and even Sega shared that.
Even with six "action" keys you have to press two at once to initiate the aforementioned rainbow kick. The delightfully named rainbow kick turned out to be that ever-popular drag the ball back behind you and then flip it up into the air behind you and over your head to land in front - if that description confused you, don't worry I'm not sure I understand it either! Suffice it to say, it's an exhibition move and rarely finds a use, although a German striker did use it against me once in one of the few indoor games I played. Those mad enough to try playing with the mouse, or those hampered by having only a 2-button joystick/pad miss out on many of the moves, some important (like the speed burst), others (like the rainbow kick) less so. The Simple keyboard mode uses the cursor keys plus A, S and D, whilst Complex adds the use of Q, W and E. Most control mechanisms have two modes, Simple and Complex. That line crops up in the five pages(!!) describing the available moves in different situations.
Selecting the match style you want brings up a screen new for '97, yes I did say "indoor games" earlier, EA have added an indoor soccer option, on a small pitch surrounded by plexiglass walls. The usual match length, offsides on/off, fouls on/off rules and so on are also here. Arcade has the fastest gameplay and no difference in skill levels, whereas Simulation comes closest to the real game, enforcing all the rules, players get tired and have differing abilities. The Options menu offers a choice of three game types: Arcade, Action or Simulation. Another new feature for this year is Transfers, players can now be traded between teams, irrespective of the difference in ability, allowing you to transform your favourite team, however humble, into a side capable of trouncing AC Milan. Modem and Network setup are also offered, with Network play you can spread up to 20 controllers across up to eight machines so that every player on the pitch, except the keepers are human-controlled.
The competitions can at international or club level and you can choose any number of teams to be human controlled. Next up comes the team selection screen, where you can choose from International teams, club sides from eleven countries or if none of those take your fancy, you could create your own custom team. Not a feature to buy this for.
The goals look quite strange, with flat polygon crossbars and posts and a net which never moves. Players have different hair colours and styles but don't feature the texture-mapped faces of NHL '97. The camera angles present a good view of the game most of the time, although after goals in replays the camera often pans across too quickly, preventing you from seeing the ball after it crosses the line. The motion-captured animations are very good, although watching the replays too closely can ruin the illusion as the timing of movements, dives and headers in particular are often out of sync with the path of the ball. The practice option allows you to practice a variety of set-pieces and other skills.The new polygon engine for the most part looks very good, although the players still don't look as clean as those in Actua Soccer and Euro '96.
The music I turned off about five minutes after installation and definitely adds little to the game.The crux of the game is in how it plays. The general spot effects are reasonable enough, but nothing new over last year's attempt. Andy Gray seems to think nearly every game is going to be a classic and most of the English Premiership sides are described as very physical, furthermore, a great rivalry exists traditionally between virtually every pair of teams! Additionally, the anomaly of Queen's Park Rangers being referred to as Queen's Park, rather than QPR has carried over from the '96 edition, Queen's Park is a different team based in Scotland, not London! Indeed, some commentary sounds as though it has simply been reused from last year's game. It is, in my humble opinion (as a programmer) a difficult task to get right, but NHL '97 managed it on the whole, so why couldn't FIFA '97.
Beginner soon becomes too easy, which leaves Semi-Pro pitched at about the right level. Pro is very challenging but primarily due to weaknesses in the gameplay rather than the quality of the AI. There are three skill levels, Beginner, Semi-Pro and Pro. The way in which players hang back from the challenge rather than rushing at you and diving feet first for the ball is good, but conversely it takes too long to wind up for a shot and so often the defence nails you as your player stops to take the shot whilst you continue to try and move him goalward.
The control system on the whole often seems sluggish in its responses. However, this needs split-second timing and no small amount of luck to get right every time. This can be avoided by pushing in the opposite direction to the way you're running which will hopefully slow you sufficiently to maintain control of the ball. Admittedly, this will happen accidentally sometimes but on the whole a player would compensate and trap the ball. However, when running towards a stationary ball close to the touchline, it is all too easy to reach the ball and immediately kick it over the line. There are workarounds for some problems, for example, when dribbling the ball, you kick it ahead of you and then run after it and then kick it again, which is true to life.
Which leads me to perhaps the weakest part of the AI - the goalkeepers. With a little practice the optimum time to shoot becomes apparent and goals being scored eight times out of ten is not uncommon. It is all too easy to play a long ball over the defence for your striker to run onto and score past the goalkeeper.
