This was the greatest football game in the Universe

Couldn't agree more.
fecking loved it
Indeed, that game was amazing !
After very bad Fifa 97, EA Sports gave us 98 and it was a very huge step forward for this series.
- Good selection of stadiums (17 of them)
- Different weather conditions
- Great music from Crystal Method and Blur of course (Awesome intro)
- Indoor stadium
- Great overall atmosphere. You could just feel the tension before World Cup 98 through this game, it was so awesome.
...and finally gameplay.

Yes, this was fantastic.
I loved to switch off the referee and just tackle like a maniac.

You're all wrong.
This had fat blokes, thunderbolt shots, the lot
Yes Fifa 98 was the tits, I loved playing indoors.
Brilliant game. United vs Liverpool was always first game of the league season on mine. Solskjaer was set to take all United's free kicks for some reason.
i thought this was the greatest football game in the universe
Sensible Soccer. By. A. Country. Mile.
Yes! Indoors was great. I loved the professional fouls too, they were awesome.
You used to be able to close down goalkeepers when they kicked the ball and if you timed your slide right you could block them.
And when you're running down the wing you could guarantee that the cross would find your man on the far post, and graphics slightly slowed just as he headered it for full effect when it went in. Ah nostalgia!
Everytime I hear "I get knocked down" by chumbawumba, I keep thinking of Fifa 98. Loved that game.
Wait no that was world cup 98.

Loved this game, remember Ronaldo and Weah being the only ones over £20million, along with Schmeichel oddly enough.
The one with Bergkamp on the front was the best.
Yup, Fifa 98 was the best game I ever played!
I liked to play the indoor game and score goals on rebound

That was on the N64 not the SNES.
Is the correct answer.
Actually Sensible World of Soccer was the best version in my opinion.
I still play it all the time. I'm in a online league and am pretty good.
On the Xbox Live arcade version I was 26th on their leaderboard (about 4000 people on there) last time I checked.
Twonks! Nothing beats Mexico '86 with its spinning ball arcade machine and the best World Cup music ever.

Good game but was a right bastard for trapping the skin of your palms.
No pain, no gain. That was the beauty. Nowadays softies would have sued the arcade owners.
in the arcades
True. Between that game and Track and Field its a wonder I had any hands left after my summer holidays.
I used to have this:
Have to agree....
for me FIFA 98 and World Cup 98 were just amazing....EA Sports really hit the sweet spot with those 2 games...everything was perfect (for it's time of course)...stadiums, teams, gameplay, commentary, and the soundtrack for BOTH those games were awesome....
EA Sports really had it going ...up until FIFA 2002/2003 when Pro Evo just shat all over it
