FIFA 2001 Major League Soccer Hints and Glitches (PS2)

FIFA 2001 Major League Soccer is one of the first installments in the long-running series from video game publisher Electronic Arts that arrived on the then newly launched PlayStation 2 home gaming console from Sony.

The game aims to be as real as possible to the game of football and includes an updated physics engine and better Artificial Intelligence for the players on the pitch.

The game is developed using a set of official licenses.

GAMEPLAY HINTS

Easy goals

Get the ball to a winger and have him carry the ball to the corner. When he is between the 18 and the goal box, have him cross the ball (Square) and then tap Circle(2). You will score every time if you cross the ball at the correct moment.

Bicycle Kick Goal

When doing a Corner Kick, around the 18 or goal box should be an icon (usually Square). Kick it to that icon, and when the ball is in the air, tap Circle(2) in quick succession. Either you will score or the goalie will hit it out of bounds every time.

Scoring on free kicks

When you are shooting at the wall, look around for an icon next to the wall. Press that icon, run in, and either press Up, Down, Circle; shoot full power; or score your own way.

GLITCHES

7 on 7 game

Enter the training part of the game and set all the settings as desired. Go to "Training Game" and select "Offense". Now it will be a 7 on 7 game. You can remove the disc from the PlayStation2 and the game will still run, but without music.

USA chants

You can hear the voice of the fans and audience shouting "USA" "USA" "USA", in any league or match whatsoever even those that do not concern the USA.
