TIPS & TRICKS - For the first time it'll be hard to find Ronaldo, the Brazilian star Actually Ronaldo is named D.SILVA in Fifa'99 for PC find him in Inter Milan or Brazil subtitute players you can change his name in the player edit mode.(same bald head) - Juventus, Inter, Manchester United, Arsenal are the best team to date with. - Try not to bring the ball alone, cause it's easy to tackle. Pass through all you players, make sure that you pass to the right direction. If you find it's hard to do, go to the practice section. - IGM is an automatic strategy you can control during play. Press Space to activate it. There are 3 kind of IGM. IGM 1 is the default formation, IGM 2 is ultra defensive formation, IGM 3 is attacking formation. So you must learn when you should use IGM 1, 2, or 3. - Evade Sliding tackle with Q (Keyboard) / X (Gravis) button. Learn to do it at the right time. - The Z (Gravis) Button is use to through pass, but you can score with it the accuracy is better than B button. When you go one on one against the goalkeeper press Z + D-Pad. - Corner Kick is the best opportunity to score, so don't miss it. Cycle your view by pressing Z (Gravis) then press B to switch players find your main striker (ec Ronaldo in Inter Milan) then try to do a bicycle kick, usually works. - Ronaldo, Alessandro Del Piero, Gabriel Batistuta, Dennis Bergkamp are the samples of the player who has higher speed & technique. ______________________________________________________________________________ 5.
