FIFA, in 2002, was a video game that was still underdeveloped, but which progressed at a rapid pace.
EA Sports added pass strength meters, impact shots, and several other attractive elements, which were later used in the 2002 FIFA World Cup game, which was released 23 years ago on the occasion of the World Cup in Korea and Japan.
The innovation of this game was the more advanced control of the ball in the air, and we also had more options to adjust the referees' criteria.
The video game featured the 32 teams that had qualified for the World Cup, as well as nine other teams that had failed to qualify.
The teams were mostly licensed, although the biggest star of the time, Brazilian Ronaldo, in the video game did not have the hairstyle that had caused a stir throughout the football world.
Furthermore, there was also controversy surrounding licenses and player appearances, with then-German goalkeeper Oliver Kahn suing Electronic Arts for unauthorized use of his image.
For this reason, EA lost the right to sell the game in the German market. This became a lesson they never forgot.
Additionally, this was the first FIFA game to not feature licensed music; instead, a Vancouver Symphony Orchestra recorded compositions created specifically for the video game. /Telegraph/
