Steve
from FIFA Cup, has
informed me of his new USA FIFA Cup, to run alongside with
UK competition. There may be prize money, but definitly a
trophy. This is a first for US Players. Let's just see if
they are as enthusiastic about soccer as their English cousins.
Click here to go to
the site to register. Remember, this is for US players only!

Andy
Beill, has updated the downloads
section. He has posted the Mexico 1986
World Cup patch. He also has posted some Italia' 90 screenshots,
the patch itself will be available soon.
>>I
received a message about a new UK Modem League being created:
"
I'm organising a tournament for all players of either Fifa99
or Fifa2000. The Fifa Cup will be a one off knockout competition
run along similar lines to the F A Cup. There will be prize
money available (at least £150 to the winner) and a real trophy!
Everyone that registers can also enter a draw to win a copy
of Fifa2000. You can check out the website at http://members.netscapeonline.co.uk/chairboysbmyarmy.
I have registered the domain name www.fifacup.co.uk,
but as I write this it's not yet live. I have just started
to publicise the site, so I'm not expecting the tournament
to start until late November...."
......"
This concept is a first for Fifa modem gamers. Most competitions
available at the moment ask you to register using one of the
teams in Fifa. So the poeple who register first get the good
teams. With this, all you do is make up your own team name,
and you can then choose any Fifa team. So everyone starts
from a level playing field. Depending on the number of entrants,
the prize money might well increase. At the moment
this tournament
is open to UK
gamers only. However, I would invite anyone who plays Fifa
to visit the site and contact me to state their interest.
In time, I'm hoping to develop a competition for each country
that shows interest in the idea."

Gianni,
the webmaster at FIFAWorld,
has just informed me of their last FIFA 99 patch.

Patch tomorrow or Friday on our site. The patch will be the
last update for Fifa 99 that we are going to do. Also we are

Sorry,
there hasn't been alot to report on, but here I have received
a message, telling me about a unnofficial Swedish FIFA99 site.
Of course, it's in the Swedish language, so I guess you can
check it out. Try to find your way around. They have so realy
neat stuff there, just have to look around.
>> Well, I am on my way to Memphis, Tennessee,
USA (Actually less then 24 hours). So I will be leaving the
site up to Matt (most likely). I will be back to normal updates
on Monday, October 25th. Auf Wedersehen! (In case you don't
know German, that's "goodbye".)

Johan
Karlsson has informed that he has just completed his World
Cup 1974 patch. It replaces the American League teams with
the 16 World Cup teams from 1974. This is great because you'll
get the chance to play the classic World Cup Final between
W. Germany and Holland ( Franz Beckenbauer vs Johan Cruyff!
) There's only a few more details before he will put it on
the net for downloading, which we will inform you when It's
completed. For now, here are two pictures to feed your appetite.
 
>> The
people at Fifafanatics, have told me that they still have
six openings for their Modem World Cup tournament.

you to their site to find out more about the ASP patch before
it is released. The link to the English version of the site
is on the left on the ASP main
page.
>>8:10pm

This
is the new version of the FIFA
Multi-Roster assistant. It fixes some bugs in the beta
version including:
"There
was a problem where some files in Fifa99 or the additional
leagues folders had read only properties, this stopped the
MRA from copying the files and crashed with an error code
'Permission denied.'
If
you reorganised your directory structure after you have loaded
the MRA it will now default the Root League Directory back
to C:\Program Files\EA Sports\Fifa99 if the previously set
directory has been moved/deleted. This used to cause the MRA
to crash as it could no longer recognise the root directory
Fifa99
can now be launched effectively from the MRA"
>>4:06 pm CST
Update!
I just talked to Andy for the first time, so expect some Download
section updates in the next few days!
Where
is Andy? To be honest I don't know. I haven't had a chance
to meet him, yet. He is in charge of the FIFA 99 Online Downloads
section. So bare with me as we wait for some news about Andy's
whereabouts. Maybe Matt knows?
