Only one of the two patches is worth downloading!

1) I downloaded the U.K. Commentary patch at:

ftp.cdrom.com/pub/3dfiles/patches/fifa2000_1.exe

It took me a long time to download it (about half an hour or so), but it was worth it! Even though the American commentators weren't as bad as everyone here said they were (and unlike most people here, I don't HATE Julie Foudy and I DON'T want to see her dead... she's actually a pretty nice lady, but not a good commentator), hearing the U.K. commentators again just seemed "right". Granted, even the U.K. FIFA 2000 commentary wasn't quite up to the quality of commentating set in FIFA 99, but it was still good to hear. http://www.soccergaming.com/ubb/smile.gif


2) I downloaded the FIFA 2000 Patch 1.0 at:

ftp.cdrom.com/pub/3dfiles/patches/fifa2000_2.exe

However, I really don't recommend this one. It didn't seem to do anything positive the first time I tried the game out with it, and it somehow screwed up the game to the point of unplayability the second time I tried playing. I had to uninstall the game, and then reinstall it. http://www.soccergaming.com/ubb/frown.gif

So if you live in the U.S., by all means download the U.K. Commentary patch... but do NOT download the 1.0 patch!

UH, how come EA hasn't made any official announcements on the patches? Maybe we (the gamers) weren't supposed to find it, yet.

Does anyone know what the patch is supposed to do anyway? I checked the file and there is no readme. If anyone remembers the last FIFA 99 patch that was supposed to improve the sound (but made it sound like playing in a cave with 3 fans present)then I want to know what it does before it gets applied.
