The diagonal viewpoint gives the action a sense of open space, but it’s also too zoomed-in. Unlike soccer, there’s no benefit to passing back and forth forever. Like soccer, it requires some patience and lots of nifty passing. This games attempts to strike a balance between real soccer and something that would make for a fun video game. Whatever, my dork meter has to hit the limit at some point. I was shocked to find YouTube videos of FIFA in 16 bits, but as far as I can tell, these are either for mobile phones or specific to Brazil. It’s the second of five FIFA games on Genesis, and it’s often regarded as the best. Set pieces also received a new format, and instead of just kicking the ball the player can choose to play a predefined set piece.This is about as good as soccer can get with 16 bits and three buttons, so it’s, you know, decent.
While graphically the game only received minor changes to the isometric sprite engine, gameplay feature new moves such as volley kicks and more detailed headers (now more effective), as well as general controls being more responsive facilitating passing play, and goalkeepers now are smarter when chasing balls. For those who want to settle things the fast way, a Penalty Shootout training mode was added. Also new, a battery backup allowed to save up to four competitions in the cartridge, replacing passwords. This also increased the number of competitions, with each country having it's own League, Tournament and Playoff. The biggest change from FIFA International Soccer are obviously the dozens of club teams from England, France, Germany, Italy, The Netherlands, United States, Spain and Brazil, taking the team number tally to over 200. After the first game proved to be a worldwide success, EA developed this sequel exclusively for Sega's 16-bit console.
