It's really ashame that this game has NOT released in the US yet...

does anyone know if it's releasing in the US soon on PS2 or Xbox?

I just can't believe the first one on the PS2 didn't even release at all here... WTF?

I'm tired of this chit by Konami.. why in the hell does it not release these games in the US? there is NOT 1 footie game in the US on DC, GC, PS2, and Xbox that is any good.. FIFA sucks.. and so do all the others ones like Striker Pro and that stupid MLS game.. Konami is so dumb... why do they develop a MLS soccer game for the US when European and FIFA soccer is more popular here than the MLS.

is there a way I can play the European PES on my US PS2?

I'm talking about the one that just came out.. I want this game now.

I can't wait when this game goes online on Xbox and I will be showing some Euro boys some real footie skills. haha..

Mod your ps2 and get Winning Eleven 5 Final Evolution. It's the same as PES (only with better Japanese commentators), and it displays/runs properly on an ntsc tv.

Or don't mod it and wait until late March/April for MLS ExtraTime 2002 to come out, which supposesly will use the PES game/graphics engine.

Why would you wanna play stupid MLS teams..i have no desire to play american teams..they don't appreciate the art of football the way it is suppsoed to be appreciated..
and what about this new football game World Tour Soccer 2002? anyone heard about that one?

I think that there is another thread that mentioned this title- World Tour Soccer 2002 for PlayStation 2. Recently released in Europe as This is Football 2002.
Some players rag the crap out of this game, some players think that it is ok, i played it and enjoyed it untill Pes Ps2 got released and knocked em all to the wall. Now it sits in a drawer doing nothing.

if I mod my PS2... does it still play my US games like Madden and so on? and if so.. how much does it cost?

I have seen Xbox and PS2 sites talk and hype the PES or ISS games up and coming out on them systems and coming to the States. I just don't know if that is true or not...
