This is Football 2002

Anybody try this game yet.If you have played the origional and didnt like it dont write off this game .Graphics are not too bad.Player's look like real players but also has more leagues then fifa 2001 .Including 1st division leagues for some countries .Funny this is the inclusion of schoolboy teams ? ? The game play itself is not to bad although i find it a little slow compared to Fifa.The one thing i do like is the AI of Goal keepers.They are so much smarter then the keepers in fifa.But you can score some great goals from outside the box .Little features such as deflections ,handballs little tweaks in the tackeling make this the most realistic football game out on the PS2.Tough times ahead for it with fifa 2002 and pro evolution soccer coming out soon .

can you do that sweet overhead through ball ala ISS pro evolution, cos if not....

Of course there are overheads,side kicks looks better then fifa 2001.

I am considering treating myself to this game too.

Has any1 else tried it, and what do you think of it?
Is it going to be 12 of those games you clock in a couple of weeks and never pick up again?

It it 4 player enabled or just 2?

Never actually checked to see if it is 4 players yet.But if you are in dublin ,got to HMV in grafton street as you can play it there down stairs .This game has loads to keep you entertained loads of teams and leagues.Id say against friends it could be good fun too,you can play some great through balls in it .I decided to treat myself to this too and quite enjoyed it.It is the fist game i have played since i was a kid were i couldnt wait to get out of bed in the morning to play it .
