The Ultra-Realism of FIFA 2000... lol (PC)

What happens when you combine David Beckham's polygonal hair, a massive choice of team, and a non-licenses Ronaldo? Well you have FIFA 2000 for PC/Windows.

[@MrRitchieevans]

Scott McManaman, Charlie Adams, Harry Redknapp and Ritchie Fowler😂😂😂😂😂 what a squad we used to have in 99/00😂😂😂😂😂

[@SaishsJahshsb-ou9nl]

I don’t think he follows or remembers the names correctly lol 😂 Robbie Fowler….. Alan shearer…. Come on bruv

[@MrRitchieevans]

@@SaishsJahshsb-ou9nlMate Ive clicked back on this video off your comment and hes said is this Dirk Kuyt for liverpool im actually howling😂😂😂😂 feel bad for him man surely if his footy knowledge is lacking this bad he should google stuff😂😂

I'm not English my apologies. Started getting into footy around 2009

[@thegreaseboard]

I didn't want to Google i wanted to try! It was about 10 years before I started so I don't have much historical knowledge before around 2008 or so haha

Good retro vibes, man. Thanks for the upload

Glad you enjoyed it!

1:32 His name is Nakata. He was in the infamous Nike "the cage" commercial

[@rocon86]

I see Paul Shearer, Alan's cousin, was in that England squad, I did not know that. Harry Redknapp also got a few caps, fair play Harry.

[@thegreaseboard]

Forgive me! But really i can't tell which parts are sarcasm

[@mferry90]

I loved plahing fifa2000 as a kid! Still playing it sometimes

[@thegreaseboard]

Thanks!

Still playing too bro regards

No.10 was most likely Michael Owen at his UEFA Ballon D’or peak before injuries ruined him. Also, Canada was a great team with Forrest, Bunbury and Radzinski. Gold Cup Champions in 2000 🏆

[@YBM2007]

Owen, typical example of how English wonderkids used to get every bit of talent milked out of them from a young age so that their legs were knackered by the time they reached their 30s.

[@AndyKusanagi86]

0:58 is Eddie Pope of DC United (yes, the same guy who committed the penalty at 19:32) on England: * David Seaman wouldn't grow out his hair until 2002, so he didn't yet have the ponytail * Gary Neville was the starter, Phil was the reserve; it's an easy way to tell them apart * Tony Adams * Graeme Le Saux played on Chelsea back then * Steve McManaman * maximum attribute points here is 7... things were dire in this 2000-2002 period for FIFA * Jamie Redknapp - Harry's actually his Dad xP * Teddy Sheringham (close) * Alan Shearer * Robbie Fowler

[@fr4ctl]

*Robbie Fowler *Teddy Sherringham *David Seaman *Rio Ferdinand *Michael Owen

Hola! Vitalis Tsiartas is the Greek fella, I think. The team on the Israeli cover is Hapoel Haifa. Hidetoshi Nakata was the Japanese lad on the cover, playing with Roma at the time.

[@warmike]

At least it has a good keyboard-only controls system. Something that is absent from modern FIFAs.

[@thegreaseboard]

Fair

[@AndyKusanagi86]

for these old FIFAs on PC, the least you need on the keyboard are the arrows and WASD, really. with W you knock the ball ahead (essentially tap to sprint), A is long high ball, S is pass and D is shoot to goal. if you don't have possession, A becomes slide tackle, D is steal and S switches control to the player nearest to the ball.

[@joeykeizer1017]

That soundstrack! Robbie Williams - It's only us On the b side She's the one. Highly recommended songs.

[@nrbst69]

The japanese player's name on the cover is "Hidetoshi Nakata"

[@thegreaseboard]

Thank you!

[@snuffmeister6720]

i remember the first time i saw fifa2002 on my cousins pc, it looked and felt like real life to me. i thought thats it,graphics could never get better.

[@thegreaseboard]

What a feeling

[@AndyKusanagi86]

as for Brazil, many of the players appeared only with their surnames, due to some image issues which weren't properly sorted out. for example, the goalkeeper, C. Neto, was actually Vasco da Gama's goalkeeper Carlos Germano (full name: Carlos Germano Schwambach Neto).

[@fb1767]

It's football. Because it's actually played with your feet.

[@thegreaseboard]

I can't help it!

[@Ponimaju]

As opposed to American and Canadian football, where you only use your feet for punts, kickoffs, extra points, rouges, impromptu drop kicks, and of course field goals, where a significant amount of points come from and where almost all the franchise and league leading scorers are represented.

[@leighfletcher7675]

​@Ponimaju yet the ball still spends the majority of the match in the players hands.....

[@Ponimaju]

@leighfletcher7675 It's agreed then, association football is officially renamed "groundball".

[@pagodebregaeforro2803]

​@@Ponimajuusa is right. The rest of the entire world is wrong. Ok.

I'll try to find it. I've just been picking up second hand games and reviewing those

[@AndyKusanagi86]

that one's a banger. i modded it with a few leagues i felt should be there from the beginning and i still fire it up when i can. not so much now, though, because i'm starting a project to "fix" other old FIFAs.

[@milannalim87]

I played this game for years! So many great memories!

[@azrie1419]

I played this game some years ago (played some old FIFA games back then mostly due to having a toaster laptop) and I personally thought its as good as FIFA 99. Seeing this video kinda make me want to play it again if not for the outdated gameplay. Also, I'm pretty sure you could look at the controls in the options screen though I might be wrong. Some stuffs about it: 1. There are a bunch of cheats that you could activate in the game that does crazy stuffs. There's a cheat where a player can get abducted by a UFO and your team is forced to play with less players until the end of the game. There is also a cheat where a player can get hit by lightning and is temporarily out of the match. I think you could also activate some teams made up of the developers and play at their HQ's pitch, 2. I think the reason why Ronaldo has fake names in old FIFA games is because they don't have the license to include him. Same case for Oliver Kahn (Germany GK in 90s and 2000s) and a bunch of other players I think. Edit: I just researched a bit and found that it might be because Ronaldo is licensed to another football game: Ronaldo V-Football on the PSX and GBC. 3. You should've played with the classic teams. I'm pretty sure this is the only FIFA game with proper classic teams. If two teams from the pre-1960s are picked, the screen turns black and white. If its teams from the pre-1970s, the screen would turn sepia. 4. Port Vale, a team that played in the English third division at the time, is playable in the game because Robbie Williams (the one that sang the game's theme music) supported the club and included a part in his license agreement that he wanted the club to be included in the game. 5. I'm pretty sure one could add a lot of teams into the game using an unofficial editor

[@thegreaseboard]

Thanks for the tip, I felt really dumb haha

[@AlexOjideagu2]

Pro Evolution Soccer on PS2 was light years better than this. Shading, Lighting, 3D Models, Gameplay.

[@YBM2007]

Fifa 2000 was a noticeable step ahead of Fifa 99 in terms of graphics as I can remember - tho both are prob ancient looking these days

[@MrRickytuk]

Pretty mental that Fifa has the language option of "American". Is that normal with games in the USA or do most list the option as English?

[@azrie1419]

Pretty sure the American and English commentary in the game is also different

[@vinnyfanneran3116]

@azrie1419 Wow!!! That seems so unnecessary, but also really cool. It's a nice little extra they didn't have to bother with. But they did, so fair play!

[@thegreaseboard]

Could be just American spelling?

[@MANGO_TANGO-84]

​@vinnyfanneran3116 I do remember this game, and the American language option gave you Julie Foudy and JP Dellacamera as an alternate to the British commentary. Interesting and fun for the time. I grew up listening to JP on ESPN broadcasts as a kid.

[@AndyKusanagi86]

​​@@MANGO_TANGO-84JP Dellacamera? i remember the main commentator of the US English version being Phil Schoen.

I know its unrelated to this game but the nostalgia from seeing the cover reminds me of this is football 2002 with robbie keane on the front for us Irish. I think it was shearer for the English cant remember that one just the robbie cover lol game came bundled with my first ps2.
