About FIFA Soccer 96

FIFA Soccer 96 is a football simulation that offers a broad selection of teams from both club and international competitions. Players can engage in matches through various modes, including friendly games, domestic league tournaments, and major international events like the World Cup.

The game's scope is extensive, featuring fifty nine national sides alongside eleven global leagues. These range from prominent competitions in England and Italy to less familiar ones, such as the Malaysian league. For those wishing to alter team rosters, a custom team creator is provided to assemble a preferred lineup.

Match presentation includes real time commentary by British broadcaster John Motson. The quantity of available commentary phrases increases on systems with more than the base memory. Multiple pre defined camera angles are part of the presentation, facilitated by the Virtual Stadium technology.
