Play Fifa Soccer 64 Online

FIFA Soccer 64 came out for the Nintendo 64 in 1997, published by EA Sports. It was one of the early 3D soccer games on the system, arriving at a time when polygonal players were still a novelty. The game tried to bring the FIFA series into a new dimension, moving away from the 2D sprites that were common before.

You control a team of eleven players, switching between them to pass, tackle, and shoot. The main goal is to score more goals than the opposing team within the match time. A couple of its notable mechanics were the through pass, which let you send the ball into open space for a teammate to run onto, and the ability to perform sliding tackles and jostle for the ball. The game had a fairly quick pace, and the difficulty could spike, especially when playing against the computer on higher settings. It felt fast and a bit chaotic, but scoring a goal after a string of passes was genuinely satisfying.
