This thread has been linked to the game 'Pro evolution soccer 2'.
Picked up an early copy in my local games shop, pretty much played it throughout the day - here are my impressions:
Pros:
- There's a little more freedom to shoot than before.
- The Master league mode lasts for ages now with the 3rd division, and with the oppurtunity to use transfers etc.
- The training mode is a lot more involving, i particulaly like the Umbro challenge which is very challenging indeed.
- The commentary (although still not impressive) is at least reasonable, and Peter Brackley and Trevor Brooking are more familiar voices than the old pair.
- The stadiums are sound, as are the crowd.
- The gameplay is much faster and more fluid.
Cons:
- It's still so damn frustrating.
- Its getting a bit too easy to score.
- All the dodgy Master League names means its a booger working out who you're playing.
- All of the games seem to take place in 5 of the 14 available stadiums.
- Plagued by lack of major new feature.
Don't get me wrong, i'm enjoying the game, i just feel disappointed to a certain extent. Still, it's had me playing all day so that says something i suppose.

No, it's quite hard to score really, then again I never had the first Pro Evo.

No, it's quite hard to score really, then again I never had the first Pro Evo.

I noticed that at first but I think it's because the teams you play in Div 3 only play in them stadiums. Get to Div 2 and you'll play teams with different home grounds.

Into my 2nd season of Master League now. Got promoted via the playoffs into the 2nd division.
Its cool that they put cup competitions within the master league as well. Loads of points to be won in them! :) just got 800+ points for winning one cup game.
