FIFA 2002 (also known as FIFA Football 2002) brings EA Sports’ signature football franchise to the PlayStation, offering updated rosters, new passing mechanics, and international leagues. Released during the buildup to the 2002 World Cup, the game features a refined power bar system for passing and shooting, giving players greater control over the ball’s trajectory and weight on the pitch.
How to Play
Take control of your favorite club or national team and guide them to victory in friendly matches, league play, or custom tournaments. Use the new passing mechanics to thread through balls or ping long passes into open space.
- Movement: Arrow Keys (D-pad)
- Pass / Switch Player: Z (Cross)
- Shoot / Conservative Tackle: X (Circle)
- Lob / Sliding Tackle: A (Square)
- Through Ball / Goalkeeper Charge: S (Triangle)
- Sprint: Q / E (L1 / R1)
- Start / Pause: Enter
Tips
- Master the Power Bar: Both passing and shooting use a power bar in this edition. Hold the button to fill the gauge, but be careful not to overcharge your shots or they will fly over the crossbar.
- Use the Open Space: The passing system rewards playing the ball into open space for your strikers to run onto, rather than passing directly to their feet.
