1. INTRODUCTION
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

International Superstar Soccer is the 3rd soccer game released by Konami of
America in Sony Playstation Console. The other two are Goal Storm & Goal Storm
97. Maybe you guys realize that i was the author of Fifa'99 FAQs, so i want
to explain the difference between Fifa'99 & ISS Pro'98.
The ISS Pro'98 game is more easier & fun to play than Fifa'99. Why ?
You just can see that in ISS Pro'98 there are no complicated button combination
like Fifa'99 has. The game is just that simple. Shooting, passing, heading,
volleying are easier to do. There are no in game strategy, IGM, just only has
simple strategy. The "ball in the air" situation is more "live" than Fifa'99.
The bad is the player are not licensed (Ronaldo is Ronarid ?), the movement
aren't as realistic as Fifa'99. So my suggestion is, if you find that a soccer
game is seriously, need more skills to play, & cool then pick Fifa'99, but if
you just wanna play easy, think soccer as fun & get comfortable with, choose
ISS Pro'98. Overall Fifa'99 (9/10), ISS Pro (8/10). Ok let's cut the crap, go
to features section.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- The through pass (Triangle button) is the best way to destruct opponent's
defense area. Make sure to do it at the right timing.

- Combine between Dash & normal run to pass opponent's players, you must learn
to do when to use Dash, when to use normal run.

- Corner Kick is the best way to score, the percentage is 80%. Pass to the
center of opponent's penalty area then try to head it using Square button.

- During play you can use Select button to change your player priority, if
you push select, you see that the little box under the player name moving.
Forwars is more attacking, center is normal, back is defensive.

- The best formation to use is 4-4-2 C formation because the middle area
are very strong & penalty area are more saver because of the devensive
midfielder are helping to defend from opponent's attack.

- While holding R1, press X rapidly to charge your enemy.

- Sometimes you must see the radar to know the situation, for example if you
are attacking see the radar, if your attacker position is beside the opponent's
defender tap O button to lob the ball pass the opponents to your player.
it's easy to scote from here.

- Do you know what is Roberto Carlos special abilities ? yes his super freekick.
Remember the Tournoi the France Competition ? If you got tackle by opponents
in half enemy area, Roberto Carlos will take the free kick. See the special
abilities he has. (of course use Brazil as your team)

- If you like wing attack, try Germany. From the Left or Right area pass to
Opponent's penalty area then try to heading it, of course there is Oliver
"the golden head" Bierhoff in there. i guarantee 80% Goal.
