I had ISS64 AND ISS 2000, good games, movement was rigid though and goals were easy, you could put some crazy swerve on them and they would go in from anywhere.
Personally in my opinion, I think ISS pro evolution soccer on PSX was way ahead of its time.
The animations and movements and fluidity of that game, even the game atomosphere, just classic shit.
My opinion though, your welcome to yours.
Agreed but the best version perfect striker3 which only came out on the ps2 in japan in 2001 is in my opinion and others one of the best simulations ever made.
have alook for yourself.

for a eight year old game it certainly is far smoother and fluid then both fifa09 and pes09.You also had greater manual control on crosses and the passing was fluid and on a 360 degree plain plus it used a card system like pes2010 and had one of the best one-two systems ever devised plus shooting was fully manual.
not only this but
No invisible walls on throw ins,manual pushing,elbowing,diving,looping headers,top stats,card system,players that put there hand up for a pass and point to space, accurate goal kicks that you could place to any outfield player,underarm and overarm manual throwing of the ball by the goalkeeper,tackling of the goal keeper on goal kicks(although you would be sent off),fluid seamless passing,simulated gameplay,aftertouch much like pes,rainbow flicks,juggling,raising the ball,feints,shimmys,180 turns,dedicated trap button,better more accurate set piece and free kick system.
need i say more...........perfect striker3 also had pressure sensitive passing,shooting and penalties plus the ball was more of a free entity unlike the n64 versions.
Iss on the psx was very similiar but it used 8-axis due to the controller only having a d-pad.
i still play perfect striker3 and if i play either pes09 or fifa09 and then play perfect striker3 its clear how free and fluid this game is in comparison to these more modern takes that are on rails and restrictive and lack the deeper more logical control of this earlier game..
ive been playing every pes since the first pes and am a master at this series but the pes series still is not a patch on perfect striker3.
Hopefully with 360 degree movement and passing and maybe the euphoria engine pes2010 will go back to this more simulated style of gameplay that was simply more fun and enjoyable and required more skill and having to create space and be more creative with the ball.
