this thread should be moved to iss vs Fifa.
But since we're here...
Im now an ISS man, and you fifa guys are arguing for it cause you haven't even played iss. I know how easy it is to argue for fifa, i have, but then i saw the light. Truthfully fifa 2002 is ok, has it upsides, but when it comes down to it, if you enjoy soccer(football) and not just scoring repetitive goals, iss is the one for you. It's a different sport (iss from fifa and fifa from football).
If you are arguing for fifa because of kits, and commentary that's pretty weak. If you want to have rewarding gameplay and a game as addictive and fun as the real thing, get iss.

It's funny though reading the FIFA 2002 online news, that everything is just new kits and rosters and roster patches and things to change yoru own kits. Tell me this.... if fifa is better than iss cause it has proper logo's, then why do many of these fifa people seem to spend more time making new kits/rosters than playing the game? You shouldn't have work on what's best about the game? imagine how back the bad parts of the game are.

Meanwhile, all the iss fans are too busy playing the same version of the game all year. if you can understand what im saying it pretty much says it all.
When i was a fifa fan the only time i could play it was if my buddy came over, cause after a week of playhing it, it was so repetitive that there was nothing to keep me going except managing a team, which was even more lame. so i'd turn it on, stare at the screen and realize that this isn't giving me anything.
Iss, i dont turn it off, and if i have to, im thinking about it when im away how great that game was or how it just slipped away. Losses kill you, wins make you throw your arms in the air. Just like what? real football.

truthfully

Truthfully, I enjoy ISS Pro Evolution (made in 2000 AD) much better than FIFA 2002. I've been playing FIFA for so long that I had no idea how unbelievably fastpaced it was (kind of like pinball or something) - plus, if you're still using a PS1 like me, the graphics and resolution of FIFA 2002 are so choppy - furthermore, the computer doesn't play intelligent soccer.

However, one major department that FIFA 2002 simply EXCELS in is the response time - in ISS you find yourself hitting a button several times before it actually responds - in FIFA, you need only hit it once (or hold it, whatever), and you're guaranteed that the ball will be passed.

Anyways, if you've played FIFA 97, you won't find the passing system "revolutionary" at all - it's the same passing system that was taken out of the game after FIFA 97. So, unless you're turning on expert passing & shooting, you should be perfectly happy with previous FIFA titles and blowing the comp out 17-0 on World Class mode (pass from defender, pass from midfielder, dribble, dribble, juke, dribble score! repeat) (and prior to 2002 and after 98, the header from the cross was the easiest goal to perform - so, that's formulae #2)

And why are the players so darn small on the tele camera? Even if you zoom all the way, the players are so miniscule. Honestly, FIFA 2002 isn't bad, but I already have ISS & all FIFA titles as far back as FIFA 97 and I'm not ever touching FIFA 2002 again so long as I have ISS (which I found Used a few days ago) =)

Oh, so if you want FIFA soccer, get FIFA 2002 - but if you can find an ISS title, I'm sure you'll find them closer to soccer reality than EA delivers.

WHAT ARE YOU GUYS SAYING!!! FIFA has the best gameplay, the best graphics, it has no bugs, it leaves ISS for dead, I want more and more FIFA. All you people who think ISS is great and FIFA is crap, have you ever played these games. FIFA is EXTREMELY realistic.



If you cant tell I'm being sarcastic

Hey LaBrujita, you are wrong about one thing buddy, I have played ISS, granted the US version MLS Extra Time, but I have played and ejoyed the great gameplay and awesome realistic ball physics. But i love fifa as well, I think if the two combined it would be the complete football game. But thats not happening. So I will play both of them, an enjoy the good qualities of both, cause there are many things better in FIFA 2002 then ISS, and there are better things in ISS then FIFA 2002. The fact is the "old" fifa fans turned complete iSS fans knew before they got this game they wouldnt like it, so they bitch, bitch, bitch... Stop whinning to us about how you dont like FIFA, I Dont care.. I like them both.. I come to this forum to talk about FIFA with other FIFA players, and I'm not blind i have seen all the lil bugs in 2002 but look past them, expect some of them... and still have fun.... And I have seen the disasters in FIFA history like 2000, the worst fifa to date. But at the same time you ISS fans are telling a person who LOVED 2001 not to buy 2002? How is this? He liked 2001, and 2002 is 100x better. Maybe not a game you want. But in my opinion this kid would love it... if he loved 2001. The game is fun.

I'm a FIFA 2002 Fan, and a ISS fan. They both are fun
Later.

Couldn't have said it better myself. I feel the same way. I am playing ISS pro evo 2 on my pc with an emulator and Fifa 2002 and like both of them and enjoy both of them. I agree with Gazza 100% on this one. Also agree that if you liked 2001 you will like 2002 it is a lot better. There are things that need to be fixed as we all know and maybe EA will patch them if we are lucky. The whole debate is old to me. I will continue to play and enjoy both games and be happy.

 

[Gascoigne USA]

yeah Ezio, most people should be cool with both. Hey anyway what happened to that FIFA 2002 chat we were in that one day? I miss that.

I don't know about the chat. Is it still there. I have been busy at work lately so I really haven't had a chance. Let me know if it still works and post the link if you can. When I have time I'll check it out.

The bottom line

k ive been playin fifa games since i was 6 years old . thats 7 yeers of fifa and ive got a just 2 things 2 say.




1. ISS has better gameplay , and is a great football simulation.


BUT!!!!!!!!!!!


2. Fifa 2002 is a great game . It isnt quite as realistic but 2 b honest ALL of of the Fifa games deliver sumthing that no other footy games do . The thrill factor . Fifa is a thrill 2 play and sum times a thrill 2 watch as well .


So ISS=Gr8 gameplay , excellent simulation
FIFA=Incredible excitement and excellent graphics

not real

Fifa 2002 is not realistic. It's much better than fifa2001 but you see, imo it's impossible to be worst. I just can't see how someone that loves football can say that fifa2002 is realistic. IT IS NOT! Now, at times to times I even can get some fun from it, but that's a different matter... Sometime ago, someone, somewhere, said the correct definition to the fifa series:

If you thing fifa series IS football, I feel sorry for you.

No your giving your opinion, there is no fact, no right or wrong. I like both of them. I can see why somone likes Fifa, I can see why someone like ISS. the only FACT here is that 2002 is the best fifa since 98 and if any fifa truely SUCKED, it was 2000. Which was the biggest joke in the series.

the question was: is it realistic... not if it's better than any previous version or how it differs from PES....

answer: no

 

[som3a]

To gigiuzzo

i agree with u all the way...all the things u said happen in the game.
For all the others:
don`t tell me that i suck because i don`t. I`ve been playing the fifa series from the beginning and this one is the worst ever...i think only american lads will like it because it somehow similar to hockey games where u can score from 45 yards out. The game sucks and if fifa2001 was unrealisticly easy this one is unrealisticly difficult and it can`t be compared to any ISS game...even fifa98 was a hundred times better than this one.

i think fifa98 is the best soccer game ever made for PC...if only someone could make a patch so that the pc player goalkeeper doesn`t waste time when the pc is winning as i consider this the only flaw of the game.

Anyway, that`s my opinion.
