History
Versions
FIFA 98 on the Saturn was one of EA's final releases for the system, is noticeably stripped down when compared to its PlayStation counterpart. All full motion video cutscenes render at a lower resolution (with borders), support for Dolby Surround was dropped and much of the graphical detail is missing, with fewer textures, lower quality shadows and simpler (and sometimes non-existent) animations (the latter seemingly at odds with EA's heavily publicised use of then-cutting edge motion capture technology). It does mean the Saturn game takes less time to load, however (though both are trounced by the cartridge-based Nintendo 64 version whose load times are near-instantaneous).
Players are much larger than their rival console counterparts, giving the impression that pitches are smaller than they should be. Many of the omissions can be found in the previous year's release of FIFA Soccer 97.
