Just bought Fifa2001 and my initial reaction - INCREDIBLE!
There has been a LOT of improvement with features over FIFA2000, which i thought sucked. After playing for awhile though, some of the old problems begin to resurface. I will highlight these problems which i hope will be fixed in future FIFA versions.
Refereeing is VERY inconsistent. Tackles from behind go unpunished many times, and last ditch tackles on players who are through on goal don't produce the red cards they deserve. And there are too many direct red cards for normal slide tackles. All these don't happen in the real world.
I jumped straight into world class and found it amazingly hard, but that's only because the computer makes their players do spin moves each time i make a tackle. It looks so stupid everyime they do 5 spins in a row. There are many more realistic skill moves that weren't included. Even the move where you flick the ball over yourself is unrealistic, though it does look cool.
I found the commentary to be inconsistent with the gameplay, as they tend to overexaggerate.
The faces are ok, but some younger looking faces would be nice.
Too often injuries occur without fouls given, so the game should force you to kick the ball out. Injured players should remain on the ground, rather than walking around and still actually managing to perform that STUPID spin move.
Can't think of anymore at the moment, when i do i'll post back here.
