Iss Pro Evolution 2 Walkthrough for PlayStation Game Name: Iss Pro Evolution 2 Format: PlayStation Submitted By: many goats ISS PRO EVOLUTION 2 WALKTHROUGH Hi! I hope my walkthrough for ISS Evo 2 is helpful to you. Here, I will focus on the Master League mode. I will give you a dream team, the most useful players and of course, hints and tips on free kicks, little tricks and corners etc. I will also tell you how to score some goals with your dream team just in case you are having trouble getting the onion bag to bulge. Also, I will give you a few cheap players so that you can build up that win tally quickly and therefore get more money to buy players. 1. The Dream Team 2. Special Skills 3. Set Pieces 4. Unlockables 5. Scoring the Goals 1: The Dream Team GK: Chalivert RB: Caffu LB: R.Corlos CB: Hierro DM: Oliseh, Davids SH: Geags, Denilson AM: Zidane CF: Shevchenko, Ronaldo This formation should bring you endless goals, happiness and league wins. Lets have a look at why this formation is so good… To start with, the goalkeeper, Chalivert, is as good as any goalkeeper on the game; the only one with higher attributes than him is Compos, and he is too easy to lob. In defence, you have got a truly solid bunch of stars. To start with, R. Corlos is the fastest player on the game, and even if someone goes past him he’s likely to catch him up soon enough. Hierro is a massive player, and very few can beat him in the air. This means that you are unlikely to be penetrated by balls being played over the top. The final defender, Caffu, is simply solid, quick, useful in attack and great in the tackle. If you time his tackles right it is nearly impossible for someone to get past him. In defensive midfield, you have got probably the two most powerful shooters on the game. Oliseh and Davids both hit the ball VERY hard. Also, they are nippy and although not particularly agile, both make a solid wall that prevents your defence being hit by counter attacks. They are good for supplying the forwards with the ball, and are also a good outlet for the defence. Your two wingers, Geags and Denilson, are not particularly quick at all, but both are excellent crossers of the ball, and have excellent ball control and passing abilities. They may both actually be wingers, but their forward presence is taken down a notch as a wide midfielder, and they can provide outlets for the fullbacks. The attacking midfielder, Zidane, should be used as probably the most important player in any attack. You should assign him to all corners and close range free kicks (make R. Corlos take the longer ones) and if you really want he can be your penalty taker. He also makes a good captain and can get on the score sheet. He can provide through balls for the two pacey forwards as well. Shevchenko and Ronaldo are the two quickest forwards on the game. Shevchenko is slightly faster, Ronaldo slightly better. Play one-twos between the two strikers and you can tear apart nearly any defence. Once one on one with the keeper, go for the lob if he strays from his line, to finish stylishly. For subs, any well known player will do really, as they are all quite good (use Mbama as a substitute winger; he is very quick), and try to make sure they all have at least one very impressive quality, whether it is speed, shooting or heading or whatever. Look forward to winning! 2. Special Skills These are not as useful as you may think, but they can make you look good in front of your mates, especially if you pull them off. Fake shot/side step Command: square , X (quickly)- Not incredibly effective, but if you can pull it off in front of the keeper you can wrong-foot him and have an easy finish in the open goal. Step Over Command: Quickly tap L2- More of a showboating move really, but it is useful for wrong-footing a tough defender. Quick Turn Command: Opposite direction when sprinting- Not really a “Special” skill, but this is the most useful so far. Wrong-foots the defender. Kick Ahead Not very special but it’s still useful. If you are racing down the wing and the defender is coming over to tackle you, use the kick ahead to play the ball further away from you (and the tackle) so that you will either fly past the defender or he will pull you down. 3. Set Pieces Set pieces are very useful for scoring goals, as long as you know how to do them. Free Kick- Edge of the Box (16-24 Metres) Simply hold down the power to about 2/3 full, and then press down as the shot is released. Aim for the corner away from the keeper. Free Kick- Further Out (24-30 Metres) Pretty much the same as above but do not hold down the down button this time. Also, you have space to bend the ball around the wall if the angle isn’t too good. Free Kick- Long Range (30-40 metres) It is possible to score from 40 metres, but you’ll need a player with a 19 curving stat. Hint for those with the dream team: R. Corlos CAN score from here. You need to push the power up to just under full, and bend the ball well around the wall. You should aim for the top corner with enough pace to beat the keeper. Free Kicks- In Your Own Half You can either play it Wimbledon style and belt it up field, or pass to a nearby player and build an attack from there. It does not really matter. Corners The best way to take a corner is to aim slightly out from the near post, where your centre back will wait, and aim for his head. If it is the right height he will score if you aim the header right. Another good strategy is to curl the ball away so it hits your players around the penalty spot. If you have a player running in, they can give the ball a lot of power as they are running at good speed, so even a header is hard to stop. 4.

Scoring the Goals! I will just mention that this is for people using the team given at the beginning of the walkthrough, but you can try it with whatever team you want if you like. The best way to score a goal is a very simple way. Get the ball to Ronaldo, make him turn towards Shevchenko, play a one two and he will run on to the return and will have the pace to get away from the defence and have a pop. It works the same with Shevchenko. Another great attacking strategy this one. Give Geags or Denilson the ball. As they attack the wing back, get them to play a through ball INSIDE the full back, beating him and rolling the ball into the path of the on-running striker, whoever it may be. If the striker is in a wide position, try to pull them across the goal and curl it into the far corner. Want to get Davids and Oliseh on the score sheet? Well, this is how you do it. Get a corner, and then if it is cleared, try and force the ball to one of those two about 30 metres out. Do a short sprint (just hold down for a second or two) and then hit a shot to about * full power. If you ain for the far corner, you may be able to score an absolute rocket that is not only a vital goal, but also it is one that you can save and show your mates how great you are. Another is mentioned in the “Corners” section. Do a near post corner to the head of Hierro, and hopefully you can send a blistering header into the net. These are all very useful, and don’t forget to simply run down the wing and cross the ball, a lot of goals are scored like that. With the dream team, you should be almost indestructible, even on the hardest difficulty level. If you have any other great scoring strategies then please tell me!
