A European soccer game based around the UEFA license, Striker Pro 2000 effectively merges elements of Rage software's Striker franchise with the evolution of Infogrames' UEFA license on the Sega Dreamcast. The game offers a mix of arcade and simulation style gameplay and features a certification mode where the player is tested for skills to unlock game modes.
The primary focus of Striker Pro 2000 's European clubs lies in its tournament mode, with an emphasis on major leagues. In addition to simple match selection, the game supports various tournaments, including:
National Team Qualifiers - a mode unlocked when reaching certification level 3/10. Players can choose from 49 teams and compete against each other, with the top team advancing to the finals.
Territories Cup - certified at 5/10 unlocks this mode, allowing players to participate in league play around various world locations.
National Team Finals - requires certification level 3/10 and success in National Team Qualifiers. The remaining teams compete in a knockout format, with penalty shootouts settling ties.
League and knockout tournament play are also supported, along with classic matches featuring historical scenarios.
English live commentary features Ron Atkinson and Jonathan Pearce.
