FIFA Soccer ’95 (1994)
Audio Lead | Composer | Sound Design
This was the last FIFA game before I moved to the NHL team – this was probably the best sound I was able to get out of the Genesis/Megadrive. By this stage we were really pushing what the machine could do. It was originally designed to only place one sample at a time, but Kevin Pickel found a way to make it do four, albeit at 11khz mono 4bit.
This is also the game where I came up with idea to have celebration sounds on the controller buttons after you score 🙂
When I played this I was surprised how the menus and the sound were so “modern” – I was used to World Cup Italia 90 :p
The celebration choices were fun at first, but would become indifferent once the novelty was gone.
Was this soundtrack released in physical support or streaming/download?
I sometimes listen to it on youtube, still sounds great.
Hi Jeff,
Your work was simply awesome and amazing on Fifa!!!
And your idea was brilliant!!!
We’re putting voices on the sounds.

I think the songs from this game deserve a remix or two. Especially the intro song, and one other that I know too well.
The videos don’t work 🙁
Anyway, I found them on youtube. Those songs are AWESOME, I may be playing one of them with my band someday, I’ll let you know.
Good luck!
