Create a Team:
Creating a team is also pretty cool. I have made 16 players of my choice and then put them altogether on a created team. It is pretty cool if you put you and your friends on it and then play as them as real soccer players. You can adjust the team name, and what their clothes are and other things.
Create a League/Cup:
To create a League, press left or right at the option at the very top till it says League. Now just name the league and it will be on the league screen and available in Season mode. To make a cup, press left or right at the option at the very top till it says Knockout or /Knockout. Now just adjust the settings to make your own custom cup.
Team Management-
You can have the best ball handlers in the world on your team and still get blown out if you don't have good team management. Take control of every aspect of your team's performance on the field and find that magic formula to propel you to the top of your league. The Team Management section lets you make changes to your lineup, formations, strategies, and kick takers, plus conduct transfers to change the makeup of your team entirely. When you're done, you can save your changes or restore the game's default settings.
Starting Lineup/Substitutions:
Before the game begins, you can access the Starting Lineup screen to change your roster as you see fit. During the game, access the Substitutions screen to give a fatigued player a rest and bring in a fresh pair of legs.
Formation:
You can change your formation to adjust the emphasis of your team between attacking and defending. Try a formation geared toward defense when playing a tough offensive team, or go strong attack against a team with a weak defense.
Strategy:
Every team you play is different, so your approach to how you play them should be different as well. Press left or right to adjust your Attacking and
Defensive Styles. If a team seems to have your number, try experimenting with radically different strategies.
Kick Takers:
Put your best legs in a position to do some serious damage. Set your kick takers for corners, free kicks, and penalties.
Transfers:
Is your lineup getting depleted by injuries? Or maybe your "star" player isn't living up to his billing. Search around for the key player to fill that big question mark in your roster and get your team in good position for the playoffs.
Rewards:
It's true that success is its own reward, but it isn't the only reward- not in
FIFA anyways. Polish off your opponents in FIFA World Cup Qualification Mode and unlock new tournaments that you can access in Tournaments mode. The
Rewards screen displays your achievements in each of the tournaments. You can also view those competitions you have yet to unlock. Win a tournament to unlock a Panini box cover-which is displayed when the Tournament is highlighted-as well as a new competition.
Saving and Loading:
You can save your FIFA progress and settings upon completion of any Season or
Tournament match. If you exit the game mode without saving, you lose all progress made during that game play session.

13. What Happens After the Match?
Well, what does happen after the match? If you win, then of course you win.
If you lose, then of course you lose. But what happens when you tie....
End match as a draw- If you tie, and choose this option, then the game will be counted as a tie game and no team wins.
Golden Goal- If you tie, and you choose this option, then you go to two, five-minute overtimes. The first team to score wins it all. If no one scores after both five-minute overtimes, then you go to penalty kick shoot out.
Penalty Kick Shoot Out- If you tie, and choose this option, then you and your opponent go head to head in a Penalty Kick Shoot Out. The team who makes the most Penalty Kicks, wins the game. To find out how to easily make and block goals in penalty kicks, look at the Tips and Tricks Section.

14.Best Goals Ever
This section will list the best goals that people have gotten. They will be listed by the person who sends them in. So start typing and send those great goals in! (sjjgilchrist@aol.com)
Jordan (Mine, in order from best to least best):
1) I was using my high school created team like always, and I had just scored.
They started out with the free kick, and passed it back to their left mid. The player (which is me in the game!!!) sprinted towards him. He did a step over, but I slid in and knocked it away from him. I lobbed from about halfway between the center and the 18-yard box, and it went in a straight line to the other side of the field. As it came down, my guy did the heel kick move and it flew over the goalie's head and into the side of the goal I had just crossed it from.
2) I was using my created team, and was just inside the opposing team's 18 yard box. I ripped the ball at the goal, and it bounced off the inside of the left post, flew across the goal, hit the inside of the right post, and barely crossed the goal line for a sweet looking goal.
3) I was dribbling and was a near the opposing team's 18 yard box. I accidentally pressed the pass button instead of the shoot button. The ball slowly rolled towards the goal. The goalie dove OVER the ball and it slowly rolled in behind him. funkdoctorspot:
European Champions Cup finals. I was Manchester United and was playing Lyon.
The score was 2-2 in the final 10 minutes of the match. I had worked the ball up the touchline to Van Nistlerooy... As I got about halfway between the 50 yard line and the box, I was about to loft a curving pass to a Soljear as he was making a run, when I noticed that the keeper was out a bit... so I put a little more power on the lob hoping to get it over him and hit Soljear on the run... Instead I ended up curving the ball around the keeper from the opposite side and the ball hit the ground and the post simultaneously and it bounced in.
I was halfway surprised when it happened, as was the keeper. But what made it great was the keeper made a last ditch effort to get to the ball but it was just out of his reach.
Gamefriek0: Mine was with a created team. My LM player crushed a shot from the angle where the middle line meets the sideline with no curve on the ball. It hit the under side of the crossbar, then hit the left post, then the right and almost came back to hit the left post again but stop inside the line for my best goal. Hey JordanPlayer, your FAQ for FIFA 2002 is great. jimi_wite:
1. Half way line smash curls round the keeper (almost every time).
2. This has to be the best ever. I was Inter Milan and playing Paraguay in a friendly, it was extra time. I gave away a free kick 25 yards away from my goal. The Paraguay keeper took it and my keeper saved it, he kicked it out as the keeper ran back. I shot from the half way lie and it hit the bar. It was then cleared and with out the ball bouncing on the ground, I did a scorpion kick from behind the half way line and it sailed in!
LadderMath:
I was playing a season as Leeds against Arsenal and it was 1-1. It was coming towards the end and Lucas Radebe had it on the right side of my box. I lobbed it toward the center where Alan Smith was. I hit O twice and he jumped up and volleyed it in the air. It flew towards Seaman like a bullet it was slightly over him. He jumped up but couldn't reach it. It hit the underside of the bar, went down onto the line and in. Fantastic goal. monkeysarecool: I just got the game last night so I was trying to get used to it by being England against one of the worst teams and I got a goal kick. I kicked it to the farthest person and made him do a bicycle kick from behind midfield. The keeper and fullback both waited for each other to get it and it rolled in.
Power Puff Kirby:
1) I was midfield and just shot lightly, It slowly rolled past all the defenders (who weren't paying attention) and when it came to the goal, the goalie bent down to pick it up, but he seemed to bend down in the wrong place.
It kept rolling until it was in the goal, what a dumb goalie.
This happened several times.
2) Also another one. I was midfield and I used X (to shoot) to pass the ball to a teammate real close to the goal. Apparently, when I hit X to pass, the goalie took that action as a real shot and dived in the direction for it. My teammate picked it up first, went around the diving goalie and hit it real hard into the goal. Again, dumb goalie. pringleman 2002:
1) I went to header it on the half way line. The other guy fouled me, (and got a red card), I shot with a curl on the ball and it went in.
2) I had a throw-in at the half way line. I volleyed it and it went in the top corner. sccrjoe13:
1) Bicycle Kick from about 25 yards with Hernan Crespo in the right corner.
2) PK with Henrik Larsson, hit a goal post and rolled across the face of the goal, hit the other post, and went in.
3) Just a hard, hard blast with Paul Lambert that hit the cross bar, bounced down and hit the line, hit the cross bar again, and went in.
SGVSC4:
Newcastle U. vs. Real Madrid in the European Champions League second game. Tied
2-2 in the 80th minute Shearer gets fouled about 30 yards out. He takes the free kick and it hits the top corner and bounces out to about the penalty kick spot where Speed is fouled for a penalty kick. Shearer hits the top corner again and they clear the ball. I send it back in with a volley and Robert bicycles it over the goalie in injury time.

15. Tips and Tricks
This section is just a list of tips and tricks for FIFA 2002. Some are hard to do, some easy.
1) To get on breakaways much easier, have a midfielder dribble the ball to midfield and make the other team's defense try and get it, then just lob it over their defense for a breakaway that should score.
2) To score goals easier, press the shoot button (X) and hold it depending on how close you are to the goal. Now, use the joystick to aim at a post. If you do this and your shot is hard enough, the goalie almost never gets it. Also, holding L or R to curl the ball makes this extremely effective.
3) Is the goalie blocking your shots when you are on a breakaway because he is coming really far out? When he does this, just lob it over his head for a great looking goal.
4) If you receive the ball really close to the goalie, and have not pressed any buttons for a 1 touch shot, quickly turn the ball and dribble back to your goal. The goalie will follow you so just dribble out really far, turn, and then shoot it in for a VERY easy goal.
5) A good way to score on corners is to get it all the way to the back post and then head it in. If this does not work, hit it to the near post and either head it in, or trap and shoot it in.
6) Another good way to get breakaways is to press X with a player on your side of the field. He will clear it and the defender on the other team usually traps it. Right as he traps it, come in with a slide tackle and you will be on your way to another goal.
7) If you cannot seem to get past the goalie, shoot the ball straight at him so he has to deflect it, then shoot it in while he is lying on the ground. This
