Scored a fabulous goal last night, against Wales in a 5-1 win. I'll describe it to you.
Gerrard picks up the ball after a stray Welsh ball doesn't find it's target. He passes it out to the right to Beckham, on the half way line. Beckham makes some progress, then lobs the ball across to Heskey, in a central position, 35 yards from goal. Heskey controls the ball on his chest, and lays it off for Owen, then makes a run into the box. Owen takes one touch, and plays a through-ball between the defenders, and Heskey is on to it to rifle a shot low into the right hand side.
The thing about the goal was that it just looked so real, the player movement, their touch etc.
I'm really enjoying ISS2, even though the defenders do seem to get caught forward a little too often, and it's hard to get back to defend! Also, I can't seem to score from crosses, but headering the ball down for another player is pretty effective!

This really is a great game when you get used to it!
It's much better for scoring great goals than any of the N64 games were.
With the '98 games you could only score bizzre goals - ones that were either volleyed in from the hllfway line, or bent in from the corner flag.
I can score some great long-range shots now with the likes of Scholes on Real Mode. Roberto Carlos is brilliant too.
I still can't manage to curl the ball though - not even from a set piece.

Well seeing as though there is only one post about a decent goal I will tell you mine.
I was England playing against Russia, I picked the ball up with Campbell and passed it to Scholes who was on the half way line, with him I then took it past one player, got myself in a good postion and let rip with a beauty of a shot and it went in. Now that does not sound that good but it was 34.5 metres out.
I suppose you had to see it.

ISS 2 is totally different to the N64 versions, but they rae both excellent games although I couldnt pick one over the other.

It's been confirmed in Japan so it should hopefully get a European release.

That sounds great!!
I was worried, cuz from the screenshots i've seen it looks kinds FIFA-like - YUCK!!
But I knew the gameplay would be very similar!

Much better than ISS98, it's a sort of cross between Pro Evo and ISS. It reminds me a lot of the original Pro Evo games on the PS1.
How does this compare to ISS 98?
Been thinking of getting this game but dont now how much i'll like it. After playing Pro Evolution on the PS2 for nearly everyday since it came out last year, no other football game really comes close. Even going back to ISS 98 was crap after playing Pro Evo.

ISS2's great, I know what you mean about the defenders getting back everytime I play the computer they mainly score from doing through balls down the middle and my defenders are too slow to get back.
Try playing a match against Iran and listen to the crowd noise it's scary and at the same time hillarious, sounds like someone's brought a singing elephant to the stadium.

When I read something like that about a game like ISS 2, it just makes me wanna run and swim to Nintendo, grab a PAL GameCube, and run!
I have the game but no console due to the stock shortages! :(
I've also got Luigi's Mansion and Wave Race 'collecting dust'.
I've got the 2000 edition on the N64, but I finnished that once and for all about 2 weeks ago. It's a great game, but I was expecting the console and games to arrive very soon after.
I was wrong!
I still won't go back and play it though, and it's driving me mad!!
