About FIFA 99
FIFA 99 features an elite league called the "European Dream League" in which 20 top teams from across Europe battle it out in a league format. It was also the first game to feature a block containing teams which did not pertain to any of the main leagues (back then, it was known as "Rest of Europe" since all teams were European, the vast majority of them featured either in the 1998-99 season of the UEFA Cup or Champions League). Graphically, it is a major improvement over FIFA '98, with the inclusion of basic facial animations and different players' heights as well as certain other cosmetic features such as improved kits and emblems, although they are unlicensed. Gamers may also create their own custom cups and leagues and select the teams they wish to participate.

“The best FIFA yet, even given the stubborn problems that never get taken care of, regardless of how many times they're pointed out. ISS '98, though, still reigns supreme.”
“Overall, FIFA 99 is a decent soccer game, but the bottom line is that it's pretty much the same as last year's game, and neither”

Before you buy
Fake risk is low. Loose copies sit about at the library's median price. PAL copies cost far less loose and somewhat less complete, so the PAL release, a separate release, is the cheaper way in.
