FIFA 2001 was released on the PlayStation console in November 2000. The game features teams from 16 national leagues and 58 international teams, with gameplay modes including exhibition games, season play, tournaments, and a training mode.
The game's story mode focuses on managing your team and navigating the challenges of professional soccer. You'll need to make tactical decisions, manage your squad, and balance the books to keep your team successful. With four different camera perspectives available, you can customize the way you experience the game. However, some features were not included due to engine limitations, such as licensed stadiums and real-life player models.
Gameplay is similar to previous versions of FIFA 2001 , with simple, intermediate, and advanced controls allowing for a range of skills and tactics. You'll be able to execute headers, volleys, one-touch moves, skill moves, and in-game changes, but the power bar mechanic for controlling shot power is noticeably absent.
