Crosses are there if you want to use them, but they're no longer necessary for dominating a match.Īnd that domination will come early. Indeed, while the strategy in previous FIFA games focused mainly on the cross-field pass, 2002 FIFA World Cup relies more on the ground game, like quick give-and-go passes and dribbling skills. Obviously, the drastic changes to the cross are important, but the smaller adjustments have really slowed down the pace of the game, making 2002 FIFA World Cup feel more like a simulation. Headers, quick shots, and other comparable maneuvers function in a similar fashion. Even simple tasks such as ground passes and shots on goal require a little more strategy because the strength-which is shown in the meter in the bottom right or left side of the screen-of the pass or shot is determined by how long you hold the corresponding button down. Recognizing that some fans of previous FIFA games may not particularly care for this system, EA Sports incorporated an assist option that will help the ball travel toward the middle of the field, but you'll still have to put spin on the ball.
In fact, crosses are so much more complicated that you'll have to put the spin (either left spin or right spin) on the ball yourself. Crosses require much more skill to execute properly, as the ball will no longer automatically track toward a player near the goal. The gameplay in 2002 FIFA World Cup is largely the same as the gameplay in FIFA 2002, so if you've played that game then you should be able to jump right in, but if you haven't, then you'll be surprised by how much the FIFA series has changed. Within this group, your team will compete in a series of matches to win enough points to advance to the single-elimination stages of the tournament and eventually the championship.
Like its real-life counterpart, the World Cup tournament mode is set up so you select a team that will be placed into one of several groups. The friendly will allow you to select the two teams, the stadium, and the time of day (if you don't already have them set on random) for your match. There are two match types in 2002 FIFA World Cup, friendly and World Cup tournament. While 2002 World Cup offers stadiums and an interface that are specific to the event, the game lacks many of the features found in FIFA 2002, making it difficult to recommend to anyone but World Cup fanatics. Hoping to capitalize on the impending World Cup fever, EA Sports has released 2002 FIFA World Cup for the PlayStation 2, which specifically focuses on the tournament to be held in the two countries cohosting the event, Japan and Korea.
