With over 50 National teams and 17 different leagues, including each player and uniform per league, the in-game choices and competition are real and intense.

behavior. Players exhibit personality through emotional responses to events on the field with expressions and body language. Players can immerse themselves into the action through new cinematic camera design, ambient audio. These all-new living, breathing, sights and sounds of a soccer environment define the on-field soccer experience. FIFA 2001 Major League Soccer provides an unparalleled collection of today’s best national teams, domestic leagues and international matches from around the world. Newcomers to the series will enjoy easy-to-play accessibility while experienced game players will appreciate the depth of
