How it plays

How does FIFA 2000: Major League Soccer play?

Matches use a third-person broadcast camera. The objective is to score more goals than the opposing team while managing possession, positioning, passing lanes, tackles, crosses, and shots.

Players can compete in individual matches, tournaments, and season-based competitions. Team selection, formations, substitutions, and match conditions affect how a game develops. Progression comes through advancing through scheduled fixtures and tournament rounds rather than through a role-playing character system.

Plan your run

What is the best way to play FIFA 2000: Major League Soccer?

Use short passes to move defenders out of position, then switch play toward open space. Avoid sprinting constantly, since controlled movement makes first touches and defensive positioning more reliable.

On defense, contain the ball carrier before committing to a tackle. Use crosses when the opponent protects the center, and take lower-percentage long shots only when passing options are closed.

Before you begin

  1. 1

    Keep possession with short passes and use the wings to create crossing opportunities.

  2. 2
