Well, after we got blasted by FIFA 2000, we immediately wanted more back then. So, when FIFA 2001 first came out, we were hyped. The demo was a blast, as graphics were updated quite a notch and some major licensing was going on.

However, whilst playing the game it didn’t feel nearly as polished as FIFA 2000. Defending was a nightmare at higher difficulty, with slides being the only effective thing. Interestingly, as you’ll see in this video, the gameplay was way to simplified and overhead kicks were severely overpowered. So, basically it was about who was luckier to score more undefendable goals. A disappointment really, if you ask me.
