About FIFA Soccer 97

FIFA Soccer 97 is a soccer simulation offering several ways to engage with its systems. The presentation features commentary from John Motson and Andy Gray, with Des Lynam hosting segments between matches.

Gameplay can be adjusted to favor a more arcade-like action style or a detailed simulation, with rules like fouls and offsides being optional. Players can hone their skills in practice or compete in league and cup tournaments. Multiplayer options are supported, and a distinct six-a-side indoor mode provides a variant on the standard match.

Technical aspects include motion-captured animations from David Ginola and the ability to review plays through interactive replays.
