If you're after flashy graphics, 360 spins, bicycle kicks and arcade football, then FIFA is the game for you :crazyboy:
But if you're interested in realistic gameplay then maybe MLS 2002 might not be a bad idea.

The other alternative is to try WE5fe or WE6 using the knife trick on your PS2. Or you can mod it. :D

Get ISSPE2 or WE and play it on your computer using an emulator. Or play WE2002 on the GBA (Bad graphics but great gameplay)!

If you know football and want more of a sim than an arcade game, don't bother with any of the FIFA offerings. Also, forget World Tour Soccer 2002. It's definitely better than FIFA, but very predictable in terms of AI and it gets boring.

On the PS2, MLS ExtraTime (NOT 2002 - it isn't coming) has good gameplay and nice graphics, but only the MLS players have real names and stats (and they are out-of-date). The national teams are useless - the USA is the highest-rated team in the game!

But, IMHO, the gameplay of MLS ET isn't even as good as the PS1 game ISS Pro Evolution, the only one to be released stateside. If graphics don't matter to you as much as gameplay, I think it's a better choice if you can find it. MLS ET just feels a bit more scripted to me and you have fewer options with cameras, bad sound (even worse than the rest of the series), no custom formations, and strange circular power meters (sort of like a golf game) for your shots.

If you are willing to play on the PC, the Webmaster is right - get ISS PE2 (imported) and an emulator - you can even edit the teams and players extensively to customize it. I have never found an editor for ISS PE1 or MLS.

That's the thing, I can't get ISSPE2 or WE ANYWHERE so I CAN'T play it on an emulator!

Btw, WE2002 on GBA is pretty good.
