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! >>Aart Van der Werf is looking for a few kind people to help him make a "FIFA 99 patch". Visit him at his website or email, if you would like to help. Posted by Joe October 30th >>1:10pm CST The UK Modem League posted below, now has their new site open. Click here to be directed to the site. >>Dihego, from Fifa Ecuador, has asked me to tell you that he needs a few people to translate his webpage into the one of the following languages: Italian, German, French, Chinese, Portuguese, and Maltese. If you can help please e-mail Dihego here. Posted by Joe October 29th >>6:15pm CST 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." Posted by Joe October 28th >>7:05pm CST I am now helping out Ric, at our Headquarters at www.soccergaming.com .

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.
