So, 96 was the turning point- the argument becomes hazy here, as I never bought FIFA 97 or 98. I have been told that they were quite good to very good (from a biased source) and I have also been told that they were, and are, utter dump(from another biased source). Now, I have an inkling that 97 was pap, but something tells me 98 was slightly better. It doesn’t matter, though because ISS PRO and Pro 98 rode high at the time. No-one could stand in their way, not FIFA, not Actua Soccer and certainly not Adidas Predator Soccer.
Times stayed relatively golden for Konami, and they have right up until the present day.
I myself lost interest in the whole argument way back in 99. I couldn’t give a toss which is better anymore. I do know that finally EA have gotten their act together with FIFA 2003, making it a bit more similar to ISS with regards to the controls, and the option to play arcade or simulation mode. Does it live up to the standard set by the mighty Pro Evolution Soccer 2?
I’d value any opinions.

'FIFA is gay'. Did you come up with this theory by yourself or did you steal it from a 9 year old?

I was probably not much older than 9 when I came up with it, so I'll stand by my comments.
I'm 24 now, though.
Definitely.
he is mistaken. oh yes.
