For the first time ever, FIFA 2000 features consecutive season play - play well and you may gain entry into European Cup Competitions; play badly and you could find yourself in a relegation dogfight.
New gameplay features include shielding logic for improved ball control and retention, hyper-realistic facial animations that give each player his own unique and individual character, new crowd chants from grounds all around the world and increased physical contact AI and animations to really bring the game to life.
