News Delivery - 0:54 AM PST
Like I said earlier, here I am, just had lunch and ready to deliver some news. Alright then, let's get started.
First, I want to tell you guys that thanx to FIFA 2000 Online, I've got the FIFA 2000 pack shot for those who live in Netherlands. You should be able to see the shot on the right. I'm not linking this to a bigger one, because the bigger shot was kind of similar in size (just 10 - 20 pixs difference). However, If you still want to see it along with other pack shots we've collected, then I recommend you to go to the pack shot page in the screen shots section.

Let's move on: my friend Nati has told me that they have redesign Euro-BALL. Oh yeah, for those who is wondering, yes this was FIFALAND. They have changed their name officially, from FIFALAND to Euro-BALL, recently. Check it out! It looks more simpler, cleaner, and also more intuitive than the old interface.

Now for the big one (well, not so big, actually): Luca L.D. Lombardi have written a preview over at Centre Of Players. He saw one of those early release version in SMAU, the international informatic show that was hold in Milan. Here's some thoughts:

The animations of the players are amazing! I falled in love of a scene: one forward, back to the door, was defending the ball from the defender and they really were... alive... hard to explain but the forward kept the defender far with his right arm and the defender was pulling him from the shirt... really great. By this point of view I think that EA Sports has done a great job. These are touch of class that make a football game a football simulation.

Okay, that's about it for now, but don't worry, we'll be back again later with some more fresh news. Catch you later, guys! =)

Classic Teams - 5:00 PM PST
Hi guys! Was I right, or what? There's plenty of fun-tastic news and that's just the beginning. Nicky over at FIFA 2000 Online have posted list of all Classic Teams in FIFA 2000. There's lot of great classic teams here, such as Brazil 1970, AC Milan 1988 - 1990, England 1966, Italy 1982, and some other collection of great classic teams. Check out the full listing here. I'll post somethings again later, when I get back from school, so stay tuned... =)

Even Another Preview - 9:04 AM PST
Operation Sports has posted a very good preview of the FIFA 2000: Major League Soccer PlayStation version. Much new info and a lot of new screenshots. Here's some tastes:

The ball actually seems to be moving among people because if people get in the way of the ball, it gets deflected and the path of the ball changes. This is the first time I’ve played a soccer game that has lived up to its fact sheet. When I say that I mean the fact sheet talks about “new shielding logic for more precise ball control” and this time I actually feel like I have better ball control in dribbling, passing, and shooting. The control with the dual shock controller is great, and I should tell you right now that the square button is “aggressive tackle” or as I like to call it “automatic red card.”

When you are playing in snow, an orange ball is used, and the weather effects are beautiful.

Right at the front of the game you have these options: Exhibition (Friendly) mode for a quick game, tournament mode where you can take in the European Championship our FA Trophy, and of course the World Cup. You can also create your own cup tournament if you’d like. Leagues are also available, and you can also create your own league. You MUST create your own league if you want to have an MLS 12 team league. You can also choose from a season (but not MLS) and you can also choose training if you’re not yet ready for the big time.

Snow, the European Championship and the World Cup! Great things!! Only around two weeks to go! I can't wait until October 29th!! There are also around 20 new screenshots, click here to go directly to the screenshot page over at Operation Sports.

Email Trouble - 8:32 AM PST
There is a "little" or with other words big problem with the email adress fifa2000@sports-gaming.com. DO NOT SEND ANY EMAILS TO THIS ADRESS, WE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO READ THEM! We will notify you when this problem has been solved. In the meanwhile send your messages to me or Mike.

More Screen Shots - 8:20 AM PST
Like Mike said, there is very much exciting news today. FIFALAND has two new screenshots from the PC version of FIFA 2000. Not the best graphic on this screenshots. Probably the game didn't run in the same high resolution as the four screenshots Nicky got for some few days ago. Anyway here they are:

Super News Days! - 7:35 AM PST
I take back my words. I have a feeling about this. I'm sure that in the upcoming days (maybe on this day, mainly) we would be able to see news flying all over the place. It's because the early release version of FIFA 2000 has been given to some lucky person such as Matt and Ric from Soccer Gaming and I'm sure they will be able to deliver some in-game screen shots and some other cool stuff. Here's some excerpts from Matt:

A few things that I must mention; the new and improved Automatic Replay feature after you score a goal is awesome. There's even a camera placed in the back of the net. On top of this the crowd now moves, and the "jostling" and "coliding" features have to be seen to be believed.

The report also tell us that they would be 41 classic teams and an area where cheat codes can be typed in. On the right you should be able to see the new screen shot. If you look at it closely, you should see a water bottle in the bottom of the near post. =) One thing I would say: the shadow of the player looks more realistic than the '99 series, but still not perfect. On the other hand, the ball shadow looks just about perfect.

Stay tuned because Kristoffer would be here later posting plenty of exciting news.

Shielding Feature Highlight - 5:13 AM PST
Well, since there's no news regarding FIFA 200 at this moment and I do have a spare time, I've decided to make a FIFA 2000 Feature Highlight showing the new shielding feature from FIFA 2000. You can find the image here or by clicking the FIFA 2000 Feature Highlight: Shielding thumbnail below.

New info about cups and tournaments - 9:32 AM PST
When I visited FIFA 2000: Temple Of Football I noticed that Eli had got some new info about cups and tournaments from EA Sports. Here's the quote:

According to EA Sports representative, FIFA 2000 will have many game modes of play - Including the World Cup! Wether the world cup will be integrated along with the season/cup mode is another piece of information which I am trying to get hold of. However, above playing already made tournaments, you are once again given the option to create your own league or cup game with seemlessly endless configurations.

I can't say if this is true, but I may ask EA Sports about it.

Kristoffer

European name? - 9:27 AM PST
We all know that FIFA 2000 will be called "FIFA 2000: Major League Soccer" in USA. Until now, it didn't seem like the europeen version of FIFA 2000 would have an "extra name", but FIFA 2000: Temple Of Football claims that FIFA 2000 will be called "FIFA 2000: The World Of Football" in Europe.

Kristoffer

FIFA 2000 Australia - 9:21 AM PST
It looks like EA Sports in Australia just opened up their official FIFA 2000 wed site. Head over here the check it out, but there's not much there for the moment. Hope they update with some new info later some time.

FIFA 2000 Going Local - 3:42 AM PST
I've just noticed that over at EA Sports Thailand they have posted a pack shot of their own version of FIFA 2000 (the Thai version). You can see the pack shot in the right. I think that is Zico being featured at the box. Thanx to Nicky for this info.

On the other hand, I've also got the news about the Greek version. Apparently, the Greek version of FIFA 2000 will have Tsiartas on the cover of their pack, and the famous Greek commentator, Hristos Satirakopoulos will be commenting on it. Thanx to Commander K for this info.

Pack Shots - 1:53 AM PST
This time, I've gotten my hands on three pack shots. They are the Italian version of FIFA 2000 on PC platform pack shot, and the new US version for both PC and PSX platform pack shots. The new PC version for US residents sure looks better than the old one. Thanx to FIFAMANIA for the Italian pack shot and Cyber Soccer for the new US version pack shots.

I've also redesign the other pack shots page, so don't forget to check out our collection of other pack shots in the screen shots section.
