The purpose of this file is to provide the players of FIFA 98 with information about the game this is covered and not covered in the manual. I get a lot of e-mails from people saying they didn't get the manual when the bought the game.
This file isn't a direct replacement for the manual, but it will help those people out with the basics of playing the game.
