Overview and Gameplay
FIFA 98: Road to the World Cup brings EA’s late 16-bit football series to the European SNES with a focus on international qualification for the 1998 World Cup. Players can guide national teams through Road to World Cup, play friendlies, leagues, penalty shootouts, and practice drills.
Controls And Mechanics
- Matches use isometric real-time football with passing, shooting, sprinting, lobs, tackles, headers, volleys, and set pieces.
- Road to World Cup mode follows qualification groups and knockout progress toward the final tournament.
- Simulation and Action match types change fatigue, substitutions, and match speed.
- Multiple human players are supported with a multiplayer adapter, but normal site labeling fits it as a two-player sports game.
