ISS Pro Evolution is a soccer sim that rebuilt its predecessor's engine from scratch. You control matches with refined player movement and smoother animations than earlier PlayStation football titles. The game includes both national teams and club sides—a series first—plus updated rosters for 1999. Gameplay centers on passing chains, with a revamped one-two system that rewards quick combinations. New dribbling controls and trick shots let you beat defenders in varied ways. Off the pitch, there's a player editor for customizing squads and memory card storage for replays, trophies, and unlockables. Multiple stadiums change the visual backdrop match to match. If you want technical soccer with tactical passing options rather than arcade speed, this delivers.
