Reception

The game received fairly positive feedback. GameSpy rated the game an 87 of 100 stating that "the only people who won't like FAPLS are those who object to anything which isn't FIFA, so this game won't be too popular outside of the UK, but if it were up to me, everyone would be taught to love this game. A gem." [1]

The game sold enough copies to be eligible for an EA Sports Classics re-release.
