Description

"FIFA Soccer '96" for the Sega Saturn marks a significant entry in the FIFA series, being one of the first to feature real-time 3D graphics on some gaming platforms. Released by Electronic Arts in 1995, this game set new standards in the realm of soccer video games with its innovative approach to gameplay and visuals. Players could choose from over 3,800 real-life players from more than 200 teams across various international leagues, each roster reflecting the 1994–1995 soccer season. The game offered multiple playing modes, including friendlies, league play, and tournaments, which each contributed to a comprehensive soccer experience.

One of the most notable features of "FIFA Soccer '96" on the Sega Saturn was its Virtual Stadium technology, which utilized 2D sprite players on a pre-rendered 3D stadium, creating a more immersive visual environment than previous iterations. The game was also known for introducing player animations based on motion capture, enhancing the realism of player movements and actions. Gameplay mechanics such as the ability to make tactical changes in formation and strategy during the match were innovative at the time, offering players a deeper strategic element. The game's mix of audio commentary, with commentaries in multiple languages, added to the authentic feel of a global soccer broadcast, setting a new benchmark for realism in sports video games of its era.
