iss vs fifa

pro evo 3 is out on platinum already!!

I heard there is an update in October. this is standard practice apparently. They've worked alot on the offside/advantage rules. I can't think of much else that needs tweaking but I guess they can take the entire game up another level.

It really is amazing how realistic it is. The sense of each goal being unique is quite strong.

are you sure?

I'd offer to explain how I do them but that would be overly dorky, even for me.

One time we were playing and for some reason I made my keeper take the freekick, it was some mug, not Chilavert, and I scored! It was the funniest thing ever, the keeper does a kind of somersault and shouts like a wild beast.

my flatmate will be in for a surprise. mwahhahaha

I scored a lovely free-kick with Okacha yesterday, so satisfying. Another trick you can do is, for really close in free kicks, if you've not got a great player taking it, use the this thing it says in the manual for a sort of power free kick, you press r1 just as you press shoot and there's no curl on the free kick, they just blast it.

I like to try these with Jorge Bermudez.

drool.

x-post I'm not sure if my pad is pressure sensitive, I got a black one free with the PS2 which probably is, is it? My other one is the old analog one too, I use the old fashioned wreck your thumb pad though.

then the team split into two and there was some crap game called ISS on PS2 and the new games are Pro Evo. I guess people still call both ISS though.

any idea why they have like the names of some players/teams but not others.. like they have the international teams, but the club teams have names like "north london", "manchester" or something. and holland's players seem to have made-up names. (although holland aren't even in fifa at all if i remembered correctly), was there some weird licensing issues going on or something?

I sold Fifa 2004 because it was rubbish. I couldn't ever get around players, always had to pass and the replays were unsatisfying and buggy.

What should I go for now? Fifa 2005 or ISS Pro (or whatever it is called in the US)?

The sense of each goal being unique is quite strong.

This statement of Ronan's make me want ISS Pro but I am a sucker for stats and accurate squads, etc.

What say you?

answer query!

It has most player names now and stuff. And you can edit anything so you could bring it up to date and stuff.

Because it is RIGHT.

I would also like to rashly claim that I could beat anybody here, should the opportunity arise.

I am pretty good at lobbing the keeper though.

but here is my current slept-on master league squad... turns out I deleted the file : /

More Licenses

English Licenses will be included for the first time ever. But don't get too excited, only Arsenal and Chelsea are going to be licensed. Other new licenses include those for Rangers, Dynamo Kiev, Galatasaray and FC Porto. 2005/06 kits will be added for the clubs from La Liga and the Dutch Eredivisie. Real numbers and lettering is included for the licensed teams. Updated kits have been added for the unlicensed clubs.

New Stadiums

Improved Graphics

Although the game uses the same engine as in Pro Evolution Soccer 4, there are various enhancements. Players will now be seen to have their shirts untucked, and can also have tape on their fingers (generally used to cover rings). Wristbands are also now included in multiple colours and players can wear cycling shorts underneath the club shorts. Players will now also move better around the pitch thanks to even more animations.

A new weather condition has been added, snow. Now you can play in even the coldest conditions, and even see breath coming from players mouths. Also to do with the pitch, you can now play with new balls, including an orange ball for the snow conditions. More ad boards can be seen around the sides of the pitch. Previously only 3 different styles were repeated whereas now there are many more styles.

And There's More...

- Improved online play. Konami have promised less noticeable lag. In addition you can now compete your Master League teams against each other.
- Improved Master League with more control of player growth.
- Two new positions: Wing Back (For players like Cafu who go forward a lot but are defenders) and Second Top (For players like Scholes who play generally just behind the strikers).

is it time to move up a grade?

: O

The only team I can beat is Paraguay, and I can only score from corners!

Adam you must persist, soon you will be scoring goals "for fun".

it is very hard though, for real. I remember playing the first one on the super nintendo years ago and we nearly took it back it was so hard to score goals.

don't rely to heavily on R1 and mix up your sprinting with R2

also use R2 to feint away from players, this is a touch more difficult but with practice you'll soon pick up the timing

in and around the box don't press the shoot button for more than an instant

and sometimes even when you tap square, if your man has timed it right, you can hit the ball very hard

don't worry about headers and free-kicks

and learn how to use L1

they made R2 a weaker version of R1+R2 allowing you to shift your guys position within the tracks he is already on, it's very subtle actually and really useful sometimes more useful than R1+R2 which takes you completely off the tracks

a beautiful game

Cozen's point about not overusing R1 is a good one too, as a general rule, avoid kicking the ball (whether to pass or shoot) while sprinting.

you can use it in conjunction with all the usual cross presses

that is, L1+: Ox1 for a normal cross, Ox2 for a near post, Ox3 for a low cross along the crowd, Ox1+R2 for a high looping cross

different contexts, different button presses

ungh

adam you now know everything you will need to win at the world

what does L1 do?

i don't think i've ever used it except to help when scoring free kicks.

- corners seem better for some reason, they whip in alot faster and stay nice and low
- free kicks are a piece of piss, at 25 yards out you don't even need to curl them, just aim for the top corner, push down and get the power bar to about 2 thirds and they whip in every time
- RUN BOYS RUN
- chris james is a NAUS albeit an unintentionally hilarious NAUS: "the game's tightening up and the crowd have started a mexican wave!"/all time classic "the sun is beating down and the wind is shooting through the stadium" even tho it's clearly PISSING IT DOWN CHRIS/i sometimes think this must be japanese irony or something "ha ha look at those funny englishmen and their lots of rain!!"/what really made me piss myself in nervous laughter was when it started to glitch and chris james kept repeating "BARCELONA. BARCELONA." over and over, occasionally stopping to say something else "BARCELONA. BARCELONA. the ball goes out of play. BARCELONA. BARCELONA. BARCELONA. BARCELONA. ooooh look at him figBARCELONA. BARCELONA. BARCELONA."
- GET A GOAL ELEVEN
- michael owen is the best striker in the game!
- TERRY BUTCHER. he's a genius. chris james: "it's half time terry, what did you think of the game so far?" BUTCHER: "it could go either way chris" chris james: "good point terry". and when chris james introduces him at the start of the match and his little speech is drowned out by the fanfare "thanks HORNS joining HORNS HORNS should HORNS HORNS match". i only wish he said more, tho it is such a joy to hear his little voice crop up every now and then through the match and can be a real inspiration during a tough game
- arggggh no super cancel!!!
- the graphics are still as beautiful as pe4 except the player animations are obviously not as sophisticated. but i like this, the more "realistic" players are made to look the more they turn out all strung out with zombie eyes, the players in this seem more like computer game characters if you know what i mean. still crack up every time when i see the little bababa chats they have with each other, and it's funny when a player hugs a smaller player than himself cos he just kind of reaches for the air above his head whilst the little dude just grins like they really love each other.

i could go on but i won't cos i want to play it now. all in all it still STANDS UP and is still a CLASSIC GAME, almost as good as ISS 98 the best game ever made.

I like doing that.

It amazes me a team of people who don't know stock phrases like "in the hole" can still make such a beautiful game of the beautiful game.

beatles fan OTM upthread, I can't part with PES1.

Shit, I remember reading that and then forgetting it and never doing it.

: )

he has such a daft name and is a bloody genius.

He has such a daft name and face but he's one of the only german players who can actually dribble.

Also is it PES1 or even current PES where they say "WELCOME FOOTBALL FREAKS" at the beginning of games?

and yeah I've done the remixing thing!
