I've been experiencing problems with FIFA 98 in its PAL Spain version. The game requires the disc loading speed to be set to Fast to function; otherwise, it fails to load anything after the EA Sports video. Additionally, the music and commentator audio cut off shortly after starting, leaving only menu and match sound effects. I'm unsure if this issue occurs in other PAL versions because I haven't tested them. PAL versions feature different commentators according to the country, with separate commentators for Spain, Italy, Germany, and France in their respective languages, in addition to English present in the PAL UK and NTSC USA versions
