Intro (of the game)
EA sports has done it again. The game Fifa 2000 became the best seller
of the year. Many kinds of improvement took place within a span of
time (1 year). Robbie Williams shows his skills in the game also, his
song "Its only us" is very good. The songs are too good that we may
spend time listening to them other than playing. There are also new
Player editing techniques in this game. For more information you can
go to the sites of the game.

Now lets come to the game without wasting any more time. First, lets
see about the game functions and lets look through the stats.
Gameplay :
It is a little outta shape.(you should know what I mean).
so I have to give it
-3.5/5 (not too good, not too bad)
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Graphics :
Graphics are cool. When you do a very rough tackle a movie comes
in which you will get a card. See how the players move like in real
life.
So, I can give it a
-4/5
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Music :
Music is AWESOME. The songs like 'Its only us' are excellent.
So, it is
-5/5
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Commentatory :
Commentatory is like ....y'know...not strong enough To keep our gaming
spirits up. I can't say it is very good, because it is repetitive. At
first it will seem good but after a few weeks of playing, it will be
boring. So it is like a 2.5/5
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| Overall:is a 6/10 |

-------------Levels--------------
------
There are Three difficulty levels in the game. They are:
a) Amateur.
b) Professional.
c) World Class.
The Following are each in detail.
-+-+-+-+-
| Amateur |
-+-+-+-+-
This level is for the beginners. The scoring trick is soooo easy. An Expert
Can shoot about 20 goals in about 10 minutes. (I do that).This level is
like a Training Ground. The tips for shooting in this level are:-
* When you start the match and you are taking the center, run with the
ball
down to the enemies defense area.
* Run and dribble the ball very fast, otherwise the ball will go out of
possession.
* Even you can run towards the corner area and lob the ball into the
box and do a bicycle shot into the net.
* You can even run towards the goal keeper and hurdle and tap the ball
in to the net. This picture might make it clear.

"YOU"
* Another trick is that when you near the goalkeeper alone without any
opponent near you ,the goal keeper will charge towards you. When that
happens quickly change your track in which you are running, this is
an easy method to score.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-
| Professional |
-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-
This is the place of the game which starts to be tough. It will be a
little hard to move away from the opponents, so take care so that you wont
lose the ball. If you lose the ball, then it will take some time for getting
it back. You should not use any kind of aggressive tackle, so that you
wont get a card. Tips same as that of amateur but don't try to be fast. You
can be fast but slow down near the penalty box. But don't slow down that
much that the opponents could reach you .You will push him away but that
wont help much, so be fast enough. And to deal with the goal keeper, don't
shoot from far away 'cause the goal keeper can catch it very easily. And
don't
come too close too 'cause the goal keeper can come sliding too fast that you
can
not use the trick showed in the amateur section. If you are lucky, you can
score.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
-+-+-+-+-+-+-
| World Class |
-+-+-+-+-+-+-
This is the toughest level of all. If you lose the ball and don't try
to get it back ,then it is a sure goal. And if you try to use aggressive
tackle then, Out comes the card, in goes the player. In this stage you
should be very fast(very very fast) so that the opponents cant reach
you(which
never will happen).But in penalties the goalies are not so hard. But
don't think of that too much, 'cause you will never get the chances to shoot
penalties. I have never scored in this level, because the opponents are
too strong.No tips in this stage because you know the cause. So readers
help needed

Questions and Answers
1) How do u head the ball into the net from a cross or in particular
corner kicks?
-Lewis
A) Well there are many chances of heading the ball into the net. The
thing u should do is ,when the ball comes flying over head...see
that it falls correctly to where u r standing. Then more backwards
(little -max 3 steps)then charge forwards by pressing the shoot
button...it will result in a diving header. BUT, this is a very
tough attempt as we may be attacked by an opponent. You can also
head by pressing the Triangle button.
1) To head the ball to the net, send the ball to a player, & make sure
you are holding circle[shoot button]. Tapping will perform a bicycle
kick and stepping back will result in a diving header or a miss .
- Lewis
2) For the free kick, curve the ball around the wall of the defense
using R1 or L1 + shoot button or send the ball into the top corner.
*Remember that some goal keeper are very sharp and flexible than other
ex [ Lazio, Parma,Barthez[Monaco], Schmeicael, former Manchester united
keeper and David Seaman[Arsenal].If you are playing a season, try to
use a club that is good but will not make it to Uefa or champions league,
then buy a [ player named G Macbride from EA3, he is cheap to buy but
has great skills] and try to win the title and qualify for next yr.
