I'm extremely anxious to get the PSX version of this game on November 1st. I would realy like to know what is going to be brand new since I'm having a very hard time finding any info.

1. Can anybody give me a URL for a complete team list? I've only been able to get a list of leagues and the national teams. I would like to know what classic and misc. club teams will be included.

2. Is the J-League or K-League (Japan, Korea) going to be included? Why have they taken those leagues out of the American versions in the past? This question was left unaswered on the EA page.

3. Will the difficulty levels be the same as before? Or has EA upped them to 5 different difficuly levels, since a lot of fans complained about the height in difficulty from Professional to World Class.

4. Will the MLS have a season mode, will their be a real Brazil league. What about a real World Cup?

5. Will their be demotions to 1st divisions esp. in Premier League, Bundesliga, etc... If not, will the few 1st division teams that are always included be a selectable team to play. I always hated it when I couldn't select some of the 1st division teams, unless I swithched sides when I played against them in the League Cup or the next season.

I hope I don't sound stupid asking all these questions, but I'd like to get some answers so I can get really pumped for the release date.

This is direct from EA's site. I'm glad Iceland is in. But, I'm guessing the Greek league will be the only new league on the PSX, or will the Austrian league be new (I don't remember either from last year).

Anyway, I hope some of you guys have answers to my questions, I can't wait to see a complete team list.

Yo,

Ans to:

Q2 - The K-League will be included, but not the J-League.

Q3 - There will still be three difficulty levels, but this time they will be closer together. ie - less of a gap between them.

Q5 - No you will not be able to use second division teams, and if you get relegated the game will end as it was on fifa 2000.

Sorry i could not answer all your questions, but i hope i helped you anyway.

Thanks for the answers. That is cool about the difficulty, I could barely play on World Class in 2K. Too bad about not being able to play as the 1st (2nd divison?) division teams from the start. I don't think the K-League will be in the Playstation version though, as the list states "not playstation". Thanks for the help though. All I really need is a complete team list now, and you would think someone has one (the Japaneese game has been out awhile)

Hi, i called them 2nd div teams because EA call them 2nd division teams, but from now on (as i am english) i will call them 1st division clubs, and no the k-league is not on th PS versions. You can get a list of most of the teams in FIFA 2001 @ fifa.help.pl/zap_lista_klubow.html. this site is in Polish but has english in ()'s where needed.
