"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.

Can you get through 1 hour without mentioning that game!!

Yes the game will be great... well it better be after i post stuff about it all the time. :)

PRO EVO SOCCER

ISS Pro Evolution is one of my most played games - No other footy game comes even close to it!!
I cannot wait till the PS2 version - Its going to be the best footy game for a long time!!

I am getting it no matter what.I love ISS

oh i think i will get it. it does look really good and i have liked the gameplay from other versions. it rocks.

Dont let that stop you getting it, once you start you will get straight into it and if you put the time in you will become good at it. Although i have not been on it for a week!! Cant believe it, i have a large work load at the moment at 6th form.

As for a release date im not sure, other sites say october but i doubt that, i would hope thats its sometime around christmas...then i can get my parents to buy it me. :)

PRO EVO SOCCER

i don't have a clue about any release dates. i do want Pro Evo. the next version. it looks good. and i dont have the previous so i ain't any good at it.

Has pro evo soccer got a release date?

Personally, i dont really need it. I still think the first pro evo game is perfect. I still play my brother every single day. Only the graphics let it down.

For me its not the refs that are a big problem, its the way fifa games have always played, they feel very arcade like and at times you cant control your player, eg. your players is running to a deflected ball and you cant get it in your possession or you cant have a first time shot which is annoying. Also the ball seems to be made out of polystyrene as it floats and curls as if there was a huge wind blowing, nearly every pass is accurate and the shots are if you keep within the power bar. This is for Fifa 2001 mainly.

I wish konami would hurry up with Pro Evo soccer.

PRO EVO SOCCER

well i'll tell u it is a good one.
