News reaches us of yet another country putting themselves on the map through the medium of FIFA web sites. Proud residents of 'Cymru' and SG Forum regulars Mark 'Indygo' and the SG Award-nominated Joey Jones are putting the site together, and here's Indy's blurb:




"FIFA Wales - Enter the Dragons is now starting to take shape and will no doubt be up and running very soon.

This means that jobs will become available for any patchers or artists who would like to help out. The site is planning to create the whole Welsh League (eg, Barry Town, TNS) in the patch and also include the other Welsh exile clubs (eg, Cardiff, Wrexham).

We would be looking for any people with the ability to create faces, stadiums, tv logos, advert boards etc... to help out.

If you would like to join the FIFA Wales team, contact one of us as soon as possible using the links above.

Let the Dragons ROAR ON!"

FIFA 2001 Review at UKSN
The hard working reviewers at UKSN have just made their FIFA 2001 Review after a long look at the game. Here is just a piece of what they say:

"If you are playing this for a game and a laugh, it's probably the best football game available for you, but if you care about the fact that it's so outrageously unrealistic and you want to play a serious game of football when you have to play decent crosses, good shots and great saves, and not press a button and have the game position it and everything else for you, like I do, then there is only one game out there for you in this field - International Superstar Soccer."

Straight to the point that. UKSN give the hard truth and nothing but the truth, when it comes to their reviews. Despite the reality check of FIFA 2001, they also mention the hard efforts of Drinky (as well as many patchmakers) to make the game better then it's packaged state. You read all this and more by clicking right here.

The "ology" in FIFATOLOGY
The big man behind the running FIFATOLOGY, a brand new era of patches for FIFA 2001, has some words to all the FIFATOLOGY fans. Being one myself, I look forward to everything he has to say about it:

The patch will release this weekend (March 16th or 17th)! So get ready 4 the revolution! A lot of people asked the team how the patch will work - As you know, FIFATOLOGY will feature badges in the popups and every team with its own stadium, chants, fans, fanblocks, etc.
- but how is that possible?

It was rumoured a lot ... now the FIFATOLOGY-team has decided to explain you how it works. It's a program that runs in the background. This program reads the userfile and realizes which teams are chosen. For these teams, the program installs the specific stadiums, fans,
chants, etc. in about some seconds :)

This background program called "FIFA FX" will be a free source for everybody so that it can be used in other patches too ...Then soon, hopefully, all patches will feature displayed badges in the popups, unlimited stadium-numbers, etc.You can read the whole explanation (in german and english) over at www.fifatology.de

Kind regards from Germany,
Stefan Münstedt


Note from Joe: I've gone over to check out the stuff that I already haven't downloaded. :-) Be Back Soon!

UMBRO.COM - A Must Visit For Every Football Fan
I'm sure everyone here has heard of UMBRO. We all know they make excellent football gear that is worn by some of the most respected and well-known clubs in the world. One thing though that you may not know about UMBRO is that they have recently launched an awesome website known as UMBRO.COM. If you find yourself browsing through the Soccer Gaming websites, it is obvious you have a true passion for football and are more than keen to get the most enjoyment possible out of the sport we live, sleep and breathe by. Let me tell you this, UMBRO.COM is the place for you.

UMBRO.COM is no ordinary football website. Not only does UMBRO.COM boast on the minute news, exclusive articles, interviews and low price deals on all UMBRO merchandise, but it is also home to an awesome collection of live streaming football videos and highlight reels you won't find anywhere else. If you want to relive footballing memories you can see classic clips, such as all the goals from the 1966 World Cup final, and that magical moment when Bobby Moore lifted the Jules Rimet trophy.

Click to enlarge.. Click to enlarge..

All aspiring Michael Owen's, whether young or old, can now get one step closer to their dream thanks to UMBRO.COM's new Skills Centre (pictured in above right screen shot). From Michael Owen's preparation to Henrik Larsson's penalty technique, UMBRO.COM has got tips from the masters of their art. On top of this, some of the games most respected managers are on hand to give their coaching tips. Whether you're looking to improve your own on-field game, or maybe you even want to try some of these tips in FIFA 2001, the UMBRO.COM Skills Centre is a must visit.

By far my favourite part of UMBRO.COM is the Foosball Game in the Fun & Games section. It's a completely free online game and as close as you'll get to the real thing online. It's fast paced addictive fun. You control the players with your keyboard and see if you can beat the computer. If you're good enought to win, there are even prizes up for grabs. Trust me, you have to try this!

Foosball Game - Give It A Go

If you're a regular Soccer Gaming visitor, I am certain after one trip to UMBRO.COM you'll be updating your bookmarks immediately. Take my advice, pay a trip to UMBRO.COM and you won't be disappointed.

  • On the first "no data" screen you will see 4 "no data"'s, click on the 3rd one (Options)
  • Then the next screen you will see 6 "no data"'s, click on the 3rd one and that will be the change language option for you
  • Change it to your required language and enjoy

Coming soon from the excellent Fifamania crew they will also release :

  • next week, a new utility that is a professional installer for Fifa 2001
  • and in 2 weeks, an incredible Stadium Manager that will allow you to use infinite stadiums in the game

Patch of Solidarity
We received some news about this very special patch from it's creator Chris. This is a patch made especially for the Victims of the 1 January Volendam fire. And here is what Chris wants to say about it:

"01-01-2001 - The close knit community spirit of a small Dutch fishing town is helping residents begin to come to terms with a New Year tragedy which claimed 10 lives. The 10 died when a café crowded with celebrating young people became engulfed in flames and smoke shortly after midnight on New Year's Day. More than 180 people were injured. The youngest victim so far was 13-years-old, with the others all aged under 25.

27-02-2001 - Volendam stadium is home to the benefit match between FC Volendam and the Friends of Volendam team, a team full of stars: Gullit, Van Basten, Koeman, Kanu. After this match I decided to make a patch together with international FIFA-stars, so we'll never forget this special Match, trying to raise money for Giro 800 by letting sponsors pay a small amount of money for every time the patch is downloaded."


Here is what the patch will include:

  • original Volendam "De Dijk" stadium by DG (from FIFAItalia) and Lunardon (from FIFAMANIA.IT)
  • official Match of Solidarity home and away kits
  • roster update with official line-ups
This patch will hopefully be released by Friday March 9. All the information about it is held on the FIFA Benelux site and you can find it by pressing here.

A Message
I have received an email from the man running the site at http://www.fifa2001worldcup.homestead.com/index.html. This is what he had to say:

"After about a month of time in development of my patch, I have decided to change the plans slightly. I was originally planning on relying purely on donations from people who make kits, which was actually rather successful (46 teams now done). However, I have decided that it would be much wiser to get an actual team of kit makers who want to devote themselves purely to this patch. I will still gladly accept kits from people too busy to become fully involved, but this practice will take a backseat to the teams' own published kits.

There are simply too many for me to do alone, so I hope to get a group of at least 4-5 guys. Obviously, experience in kit making is needed, and it should be noted that I will be using only 256 color kits (the "old technique") simply because the other methods do not work on all computers.

I already have a few possibilities, so if you would like to join the team visit my site and give me an email.
"

With that said, visit his site and, like he said, email him if you are willing to help. It will be much appreciated.

More FIFA 2002 News!
Some big news from Stefan Münstedt, listen up!

"Hi friends,

I have once again some exciting news for you - concerning FIFA 2002.
After having a call with the EA Sports development-team in Canada and EA Sports Germany, I have the latest news concerning the next version of the fifa-series: EA Canada told me that the concept for FIFA 2002 has been finished and the development-team has already begun to programm the basics.

EA Sports Germany published some more detailed info on the concept: EA Sports Germany has officially confirmed that the user will be able to configure the controls himself. NBA and NHL-series support free configurable hotkeys/control since many years, but it was never realized in FIFA, although lots of fans wished this feature.

After an official poll, EA has noticed that this is an attractive feature and it will be included in FIFA 2002!

I think that are great news for individualistic fifagamers!
"

We keep getting more and more news regarding FIFA 2002. We'll keep you posted!
