I'm OHMCS110, who wrote the Codename: Outbreak FAQ (the simple FAQ). Now, I'm writing back with my second FAQ. Maybe this is another simple FAQ you've ever found on Internet. But for me, I want to make it short and simple, not forgotten, I want to make it accurate too.. I started play the football (soccer in U.S) since 7 years old. I've interested to play the football in the computer when I bought FIFA World Cup 98. Start from that, I'd collect all EA SPORTS FIFA series from year 1999 till now. Overall, Electronic Arts successfully improve their game by year to year. The game play become more interesting and the graphic become more detailed and sleek. But, from the many reviews I've been read, it's true that FIFA 2001 is better than FIFA 2002? Hmm.. For me, both games have their own advantage and disadvantages. I don't want to discuss about it at here because I want to explain more about EA SPORTS 2002 FIFA WORLD CUP. All right, let's get started. I hope you enjoy reading this FAQ. If there is any grammatical mistake, please forgive me, and if you have any suggestion please not to shy to mail me. You will get a credit. This I promise you. *********************************** 2.

A: When you sprint, watch out to the opposite player at the back, and then, simply move to opposite direction before you try to shoot or pass the ball to another player. Q: How to score easily?

OHM's Strategy: ------------------- a. 4-4-2 (4 Defenders, 4 Midfielders, 2 Strikers) ================================================= Normal formation, many World Cup qualifiers use this formation and maybe this formation also suitable to you. :) b. 4-5-1 (4 Defenders, 5 Midfielders, 1 Striker) ================================================ This formation suitable for team that has many top-quality midfielders (e.g. England, Spain). This strategy very useful for gamers who like to attack from the middle of the field. c. 5-3-2 (5 Defenders, 3 Midfielders, 2 Strikers) ================================================ Suitable when you decide to secure your win. the defenders will try to block the strike from the opponents. I recommend you to place one last man and 4 defenders. d. 5-4-1 (5 Defenders, 4 Midfielders, 1 Striker) ================================================ Hmm.. Use this strategy when you decide to secure your win and by the same time, you want to add more goals.. :) e. 3-4-3 (3 Defenders, 4 Midfielders, 3 Strikers) ================================================= When the opponents lead you with 2 or 3 goals, hmm.. the best way to make sure you can win the match or just want to equalize, try this formation. It's very suitable for counter-attack strategy. But be careful, if the opponents can move more than the middle of the field, maybe it can become a problem to you. f. 3-5-2 (3 Defenders, 5 Midfielders, 2 Strikers) ================================================= Hmm.. You want to make a counter-attack but you don't want to let opponent players move more than the middle of the field huh.. All right, try this formation, many midfielders will block the strike from the opponents. g. 4-3-3 (4 Defenders, 3 Midfielders, 3 Strikers) ================================================= This formation suitable for the team that have many strikers and many midfielders (e.g. Spain). Have a similarity as 4-4-2 formations. *********************************** 11. OHM's Teams Review: ----------------------- Argentina ========= World Ranking (as on 2002FWC) - 2 Star Players - P.

OHM's Dramatic Moment: -------------------------- Dramatic Moment 1: France vs. Argentina I've play using France team, on first half, huh... poor me, hmm.. I let the Argentinean lead by 4-0. But on second half, I try to back up by scoring 4 goals - 2 from Henry and 2 from Trezeguet. On extra times, Zidane score to give me a dramatic win. 5-4 over Argentina... :D Dramatic Moment 2: Saudi Arabia vs. France I've play using Saudi Arabia team, on first half, no goals by other side. On second half, Sami Al-Jaber and Al-Temyat score to make sure I win the game by 2-0. Both of them scored by make a dramatically bicycle kick in front of the goal. *********************************** 14. OHM's Tips: --------------- a.
