Despite its potentially confusing title, the game is an upgrade over the original ''[[FIFA International Soccer]]'' released for the [[Sega Mega Drive]], with sixteen new teams, a CD soundtrack (and crowd chants), updated intros and a licensing deal with [[wikipedia:Adidas|Adidas]] and its Predator boot, leading to new in-game moves (such as the ability to curve shots similar to ''[[Sensible Soccer]]''). More modes were added and the computer AI was improved, and the overall pace of play is much quicker than the prior iteration.
