I reinstalled this game today, and I must say that I NEVER had as much fun with Fifa 99 and Fifa 2K than I had today (not to speak about how great the game was 2 years ago).
It had a realistic game pace and great handling, if only the CPU strikers would shoot better - still, when playing mediocre teams I have a really hard time against star teams.
I am currently updating the SERIE A. If you want to have that update, post here.

FIFA 98 - GREATEST SPORTS GAME EVER!
