Hi,
I really really want a good football game for me advance. But heard a rumour that this one is messed up - it doesn't give any points for a draw, which makes leagues a bit daft. Anyone got it and able to scotch/confirm the rumour?
Ta muchly,
JBR

I actually bought Total Soccer 2002 the day it came out. The actual game engine itself isn't too bad. You can get down the wings and ping those crosses in to your hearts delight. However, there are countless presentation glitches. That no points for a draw thing is correct. I played a league where I won as many games as the top team, I drew more games but they won the league due to superior goal difference! Doh! I also got to the final of the "Euro Club Cup" (champions league) and drew 1 - 1, and that was it! No extra time, no penalties, no winner!!!
I'd only really recommend this game to true football geeks such as myself. If you've got the patience then wait for something better. I've looked for reviews on this game on the net and found none at all. I've come to the conclusion that Ubisoft must have hacked all of the gaming sites and nicked the reviews to hide their terrible presentation in this game. Shame. Roll on ISS. Or David Dunn's Total Soccer 2003! Come on you 'vers!!!!

Im going to wait for ISS and wait for it - KICK OFF 2002!! Thats right, the legendary series is making a return to the GBA - If its anything like the original then it should be one of the finest footy titles available!! Its been a long time but hopefully worth the wait!!
Ta muchly. Saw a good review in one of the gameboy mags - that's the only published one I've seen - that gave it 85%. But reading what they'd said gave no idea that they'd actually played it - and all the screenshots were just the standard ones. Pity if it is poor, cos Total Soccer 2001 was really good, back to the good old sensi days, but never mind...
