It's so bad. CPU only wins because of constant annoying tackling, intercepting 1000 passes per minute and using the special moves so often it seems like a figure skating event. The pitch is bigger - since the defensive AI is scripted and players don't loose speed when performing a 360° turn - that's no big deal on world class.
Pro is o.k., a bit harder than before, but surely not a challange that will keep you there forever.
The Ref sucks too.

NHL 2001 really is a vast improvement. Fifa 2001 is better than 2000, but it stands nowhere next to ISS.

If you want a hard game - go ahead. But if you don't like being cheated than this ain't for you.
I rather stick to Falcon 4.0 :-)

xite I could see that coming, even in the demo. The only way EA's crappy AI can stop us is :

a- With a SUPERMAN GOALIE
b- REF not calling the fouls
c- MAke all the players tackle the guy with the ball

btw What the **** is UP with this powerbar? its worthless http://www.soccergaming.com/ubb/smile.gif hehe and still theres people that think its worth, guess they never tried oh my god not again http://www.soccergaming.com/ubb/smile.gif ISS EVOLUTION

Actually I just come from a match that was pretty good, but the CPU scored the winner with a 360°...

The powerbar actually is not that bad, it is not worthless since last year you could not control anything.
