"Pro Evo Soccer - v - Fifa 2002"

Both Fifa and ISS games are considered the heavy weights of the football games on Playstation, however, sadly for me it seems that previous Fifa games seem still to top the charts with there flashy looks, real player names and arcade style play where as the ISS games always went for the superb realistic play over visuals. However ISS Pro Evo 2 came along and with many more people knowing about it, the game topped the charts, until yet another update of the fifa series came out. Now though the two heavy weights are prepairing for a fight as the two soon to be coming to PS2 in the form of Pro Evolution Soccer and Fifa 2002, this is how they look at first impressions:

Pro Evolution Soccer:
For the PS2 version the ISS has been dropped, but remember this is the ISS you want. First impressions about the graphics are good, they look so smooth and are built up with loads of detail. The stadiums look stunning as do the players, there are some really good life like ones such as beckham and Seaman. All the players and team names should all be correct this time if that bothered you, there has also been some talk of the pitch being a little bigger enabling some good build up play and more ways of scoring. The AI has also been improved making the game even more realistic than ever before. The game looks great, just hope they sort out the commentary.

Fifa 2002:
The Graphics from 2001 on PS2 looked amazing and 2002 does aswell, better in some cases. To try and top the charts once again, relising that the might Pro Evo is coming out, this Fifa will play like no other before it. More accuracy is now needed to pass the ball, short and long meaning pin point passed will no longer be as easy as sayint the alphabet, the player now has to control the angle of the ball and make sure the power is correct for a good shot or pass. The AI is suppose to have been improved also making the game more realistic therefor moving away from the arcade style. It is possible to press a button to see where your players are running to so you can plan your method of attack. Hopefully too the improvments are vast compared to the arcade 2001, which was still enjoyable, just not ad much as ISS Pro Evo 2.

With both games trying to top the charts, there should be masses of improvments over the precious games. The question is though, which are you going to spend your hard earned money on. With Fifa you are certain to get slick visuals and all the latest stats, but will the gameplay match. With Pro Evo you get the best gameplay there is on any console, which is why im getting it, although i will end up getting both probally.

ok soz

I was talking about 2002 with him.

I was just reading PSW, they have been playing Pro Evo and they say it is so much better than ISS Evo 2, it plays so much more realistic that it will blow you off your feet.

They say the graphics are so smooth and nice on the eyes. The only bad thing is the commentary.

He didn't have a Pony tail on FIFA....he didn't even have it in real life when FIFA was released.....

Also, players liknesses on Pro Evo are very good, you can instantly tell who the players are, of course not every player has a huge likness, just the main famous ones, but they look very good and have loads of detail.

In Fifa 2001/2 they dont, they have a little likness, but you really only can tell who they are because of the team and position they play in, the name indecator helps too.

David Seamen is a prime example, the only reason i knew it was him on fifa was that it was Arsenal, he was in the net, and had that stupid pony tail!

So true, Pro Evo my son! ;O)

That seems to be the style that EA go for - graphics over gameplay. Well that was the case for Fifa 2001, they say they have improved the game play in Fifa 2002, but I very much doubt that.

However, I say that, when Pro Evo has superb graphics...and BETTER game play. It will be unbeatable, trust me.

Wasn't there a rumour that EA hired a bloke from Konami to come and help them with the passing system?

Lol - shows you how poor they are at making ooty games, don't it!

:D

SHOCKY

Yeh i know it was crap....the fifa players look like something off spitting image

Yes but that ISS was crap, Pro Evo does not have this problem, it even looks better than Fifa 2002.

It looks like it's anti-aliased. I hope it is because ISS (PS2) suffered terribly from jaggies...the pitch was like a dancefloor.

because it is a class game you can have loads of fun playing it i think it's a brilliant footy game

Excuse me? Why is that then, eh?

Give me one good reason as to why you think what you think...
