"ISS or FIFA?"

What is difference? They all have the same idea just to play the fine game this time around as your favourite teams....but nothing has changed in these games since i last played World Cup Striker on the SNES, wow the gameplay was good!
But now we only have the 2 games that stand out in this genre. People have tried and failed to even get close to these 2 games, but now what is your favourite football series of all time?
Of couse ISS has been around for ages and it has maintained on Nintendo machines since the SNES to be the greatest football sim to be made, but then EA sports with the proper FIFA license ( ISS has finally got the license but has recently lost it's good gameplay on the PS2 version).

I would go say that some reviewers were wrong about ISS 2000 on the N64, it was the best version ever and what spoiled it is that the FIFA series was still one of the best around because of them having the FIFA license but then i'm happy with getting the game, the ISS games seem to be playable all the time whilst my FIFA 99 sits in my cupboard gathering dusy ISS is promptly in the cartridge slot.

So Gameplay sense ISS is the king but the realism isn't always there in both footie games for some reason, keepers jump for the ball and completely miss it sometimes players but FIFA seems to get that off their backs with some superb animations and to top it off the number of skills you can trigger is brilliant except limited on ISS, it has the neat touches and the old passing game isn't even manageable in FIFA because the AI is completely useless in Beginners mode and too hard in Semi Pro, ISS fits that with some intelligent AI that gives a good fight for it, but the same old 1-0's of Arsenal become 6-0's on FIFA.
What do you think?

World cup 98 was good.

ISS is better.

FIFA has hardly changed since Road To World Cup 98

And the passing game is always in ISS.

I dont know? Fifa 96 is class!

i like the sensible soccer games on the consoles but i suppose it depends on a persons taste

Striker rules!!!

I got Striker, and then Striker 95!!

On Striker, all you had to do was run the wing, and then shoot diagonally. Goal!!

i've got sensible soccer on the Megadrive its a good game

i love the through pass. it puts iss in another league!

but end of the day. sensible world of soccer on the amiga is the most playable soccer sim ever made and will never ever be bettered.

ISS by far and the my reason is simply because the ISS series is more challengeing against the computer, it is harder to score and win on ISS which add up to a more realistic game.

there are alot more reasons but i can't be bothered typing them

It's alright, weird but good fun.
