12. Hints and Tips
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
             Coming Soon!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
13. General Questions and Troubleshooting
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
   1. What do all the icons mean in FIFA 99?
If you hold the arrow over each icon, a message pops up telling you
what
exactly each icon does.
   2. I try to play FIFA 99 in 3D, but I get a messed up screen but
sound works fine.
Even though you drivers might be certified, problems can still occur
playing FIFA 99 in 3D. First, make sure you have the latest drivers
from your video card manufacturer. Even if you bought a 3D card
recently, it could still have outdated drivers. Just because you just
bought the video card, doesn't mean it hasn't been sitting on a shelf
for a year!
   3.  Are all the players names in the commentary because I have
often had
players on for whole games and their names never mentioned?
All the player names should be included in the commentary, though I
have played
quite a few matches and never have heard certain players mentioned.
   4.  What are Player Attributes and what do they mean?
Player attributes are ratings from 0 to 16 as to how each player does
for
different abilities. A higher number indicates the player is better at
that
attribute. I made a list of the player attributes in the game:
Accel = Acceleration   Aglty = Agility           Ball Cntl = Ball
Control
Creat = Creativity     Fitness = Fitness         Headers  = Heading
Accuracy
Shot Powr = Shot Power Shot Acc = Shot Accuracy  Speed = Speed
Tackle = Tackles       Aggrs = Aggression

Y - Toggles Pitch textures/details on/off

- (minus) - Decrease screen size
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
15. Improving Game Speed
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here are some tips to speed up the game-play:
"-" (the minus key) reduces the size of the screen
"y" toggles field detail
"t" toggles stadium detail
Make sure no background programs are running. One way of checking this
by hitting
CTRL+ALT+DEL and a menu will pop up. Shut down everything EXCEPT
Explorer and Systray.
You may have to repeat this a few times.
Do a full installation of the game. If the game keeps having to access
the CD-ROM, your gameplay can suffer significantly.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
16. Modem Play
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Modem connection may be direct or indirect. If you are connecting
directly, you must use a serial cable with a null-modem adapter. If
you are connecting indirectly, FIFA 99 requires that you have at least
a 28.8k modem or faster with a high-speed (16,550 UART) serial port.
To Set Up a Two-Computer Match
 1. Make sure your modems are configured correctly.
 2. At the modem connect screen, one person selects "Dialing
Directory", while the other person selects "Wait for Call".
 3. The person that selects "Dialing Directory", highlight a memory
space, then click on "Edit". Enter the number you want to call. FIFA
99 allows you to save up to 99 numbers.
 4. Type the name and number of the computer you want to connect with,
then press "Enter".
    The number is saved in the "Dialing Directory". To delete a
number, highlight the number and click "Delete".
 5. Click "Dial" to start the call. When the connection is made, the
"Match Select" screen will appear.
 6. Set your game up as you would in a standard FIFA 99 game.
Modem Setup Screen
 Modem Type - Go through the provided modem types. If your modem is
not listed, use the "Generic Hayes Compatible".
 COM Port - Allows you to select which COM Port your modem is
connected to.
 Baud Rate - Allows you to select your modem's baud rate (bps).
 Initialization String - If your modem has a specific initialization
string, this is where you would enter it. See your modem manual for
more info.
 Dial String - You do not need to include the phone time (pulse or
tone) in the dial string.
 Dial Method - Switches between tone and pulse dialing.
Modem Problems
 Here are some things to try if you are having problems connecting by
modem:
1. Your modem should be set to connect with data compression disabled
and your modem should not locked into any specific speed.
2. Since a lot of 56k modems are still Flex or X2, use 28.8kbps as the
highest speed to connect with.
 3. Hardware (RTS/CTS) flow control must be enabled.
 4. Consult your modem manual for the appropriate initialization
strings. Put the correctmodem initialization strings in your Windows
95 modem configuration screen in "Control Panel".
 5. Verify there is no COM port conflicts. Mice and other devices may
be sharing the same COM port as the modem.
