Eh yeah...good point.
But TIF is great!

It can only be good for us gamers, putting EA under pressure with games such as Pro Evo and TIF2002 will force EA to re-evaluate the FIFA games they are constantly re-releasing.
EA Sports can't rely on their American sports titles anymore either to bring home the proverbial bacon, The staple diet of the Playstation2 US sports enthusiast will be tempted with the Sega Sports efforts. The '2K' games for the Dreamcast were very good indeed, and with these titles set to make an appearance on the PS2 now that Sega has gone third party, EA will have to pull their fingers out, or their seemingly unassailable hold on the console sports market will start to slip away.
EA have always relied on the coverage that FIFA titles get from the media, I often wonder at the sanity of some reviewers, or perhaps more cynically considered the magazine motives for the unbridled joy that gets shovelled out over the latest FIFA release. I do think that Konami/team SoHo have really closed the gap (and passed EA) over the last couple of years. Pro Evo is not just an alternative to FIFA 2002, most people agree that it will be a much better game. Either that or the hole EA has dug with it's constant touching up of the same game has finally started to cave in around them, and gamers just don't trust FIFA titles anymore.
With the entrance into the market of TIF2002 there's a third viable option, which people are already warming to. Despite it's slightly dodgy PSone background it's looks and plays very well. What disappoints me about EA is that even with the wealth of experience they should have accumulated making football games, a relatively new title can come along and have people saying that they rate it at least alongside FIFA.
When it comes down to It, I don't think EA will let this happen. After this round of PS2 football games paints the picture that we all think it will (i.e. Pro Evo cleaning up), EA will either rise to the challenge and come back with an absolute gem of a footy game, or slide ignominiously behind Pro Evo and accept it's fate. It's going to have to make real progress with it's Madden/NHL/NBA/Triple Play games, so they might as well do it with the FIFA series while they're at it.

they said (EA) in opsm2 that the only reason fifa 2001 didn't sell well woz cause hardly ne1 had a ps2 but they want to make 2002 the best footy game ever...hmm, that will be why it looks exactly like 2001...'oh but Natbuc we've improved the passing and it is much better, mmm yes we are better than team SoHo and Konami mmm yes we are and we are off to play soccer now so by from mister EA'......
they will start giving a toss if 2002 dont sell!
FIFA are still winning the financial battles. So they dont give a toss if the other game is better
LOL, i hope that happens. It would send a clear signal to EA how much we like fifa games now. They might think about a total re-make then.
i've seen some sites saying fifa and pro evo will come out on the same day...fifa will take a good hideing if this does happen.
