i'm a little concerened about the hype that this game has been given.
in my opinion ISS Pro Evolution 2 is quite possibly the best football game i've played on the PS1.
i will be getting Pro Evo but could someone tell me if it actually lives up to the expectations it been given???

Yeah, that phrase is a classic no matter what anyone says. I always use that phrase. It is now known as one of my favourite quotes

The commentry is bad, put a CD on instead.

There are loads of competitions to choose from, a normal league only with international teams, a master league and all the usual cups, this will take a while to complete.

Yes, thats in the master league where you can buy players with the top european league teams.

The replays are quite good, last quite long too, shame you cant access them when you want.

Nope, the loading is not bad at all, and the game plays as smooth and fast as any of the other games.

Nope, the gameplay is to die for, if you liked the others, you will love this!

Pro Evo
I'm getting Pro Evo 2 for Christmas. With all the hype about it, I've done well, I think, to wait until then!
I was until recently a FIFA fan, I'd seen and played demos of previous versions of ISS and was put off by the arcadey presentation, (GOAL!, THROW IN! GOAL KICK! etc plastered over the screen),and the lack of correct names etc. Yes I know that makes me shallow, but I was happy with the products that FIFA was offering ( Road to World Cup '98 was a massive leap forward for FIFA, I thought). But upon purchasing FIFA 2001 for the PS2, I realised I'd had enough. It was very poor. And although this years offering is apparently improved, with a 'new' passing system et al, I didn't trust EA anymore.
I bought This is Football 2002, and was very pleasantly surprised, a good game, but still not quite right. And I wasn't happy that although Port Vale, Huddersfield and Tranmere were included, QPR were omitted. If my beloved Superhoops had have been involved I might have pledged my loyalty there.
So now, finally I turn to Pro Evo 2. I'm nervous. It's like breaking up with a long term girlfriend, and then being set-up with a girl you've never met. I've seen photo's and she looks nice enough, I've heard lots of nice things about her, but there's still a niggling doubt in the back of my mind. 'Will I like her as much?'
I've heard a few worrying things about Pro Evo 2, that concern me slightly, and may spoil my enjoyment.
The gameplay, I am convinced, will be excellent. However,

Sorry to drone on, please feel free to answer all/some of the questions. Any help will be much appreciated!

Nothing is lost from Evo 2 in Pro Evo, everything is much the same only a lot better, you will have no regrets getting this game, trust me!
yeh, what he said....
Anyway, much more realism added to this game. Realism that leads to frustation for some, for others adds to the truly amazing experience.
