This is what ea told me on the phone when I complained that the game ran like sh*t with my 3DFX banshee!
-The card is too old so we didn't bother concentrating on the graphic drivers for this game!
This is what the e-mailed me:
Hi,

The problems you are reporting have not been reported by any of our customers here at this technical support address, at the moment you are the first and only customer who has contacted us regarding experiencing this problem and it does seem an odd one. I have checked the FIFA 2000 forum and read the comments made and I cannot comment on the information reported there as there is no hard and specific technical information relating to their PC's that could enable a diagnosis of their individual problems. We have thoroughly tested this software with all 3dfx cards and there would appear to be no specific problems with the operation of the game on these systems that cannot be resolved through the normal troubleshooting means.

Hard and specific evidence not found? What a load of cr*p! It is quite obvious it's their thrash drivers!? Has anyone else contacted ea on this? If so they are lying cuz they told me that I am the only one with thhe following problems!:
Blacked out stadiums in night games
Jerky play
Fuzzed up numbers
etc etc
I have tried Galahs way of fixing the problem and thankfully it works great! Why didn't they use that thrash driver in the first place is anyones guess?

EA really need to get their act together i thinks!

Respect going out to all you who is having problems with FIFA2000+3DFX. I symathise with you deeply and so should EA!

The great news is that my Web Site is up & running. You can get the
3dfx patch, my Socceroo Jersy, Low res Pitches and my edited game graphics from their. I hand coded the pages to reduce the time it takes to load, (Though because I used a free site the speed won't be great.) But every bit counts right. We'll enough crap, the address is,
