FIFA 2000 PC

This version of the FIFA series contained over 40 "classic" teams, so that gamers could play as retired football legends.

It marked the introduction of Major League Soccer, replacing the fictitious "American" league previously included, as well as national leagues from Denmark, Greece, Israel, Norway and Turkey (though Galatasaray S.K. is not present in the game).

The game features over 40 national sides, fully integrated seasons,
set piece selections, increased physical contact, new facial animations,
shielding ability and tougher tackling.

The game received mixed reviews due to its cartoonish graphic engine
and shallow gameplay, a brand new engine was implemented in an attempt
to give more "emotion" to the 3d player models. The game was generally
considered to be much inferior than its rival.

The opening video for FIFA 2000 features Sol Campbell
performing motion capture duties for the game, then having his likeness
computer-generated to play against a retro side from 1994 - the year of
the inauguration of FIFA. The game also included Port Vale, the club supported by Williams, in the "Rest of the World" section (they were in Football League 1
at the time, and while the concept of post-season promotion and
relegation was introduced in this edition, teams from lower league tiers
were only selectable starting with FIFA 2004).

A Nintendo 64 beta version of FIFA 2000 exists though the game was not officially released for this platform.
