ISS Pro Evolution Soccer 2

ISS Pro Evolution 2 (known as World Soccer Jikkyou Winning Eleven 2000: U-23 Medal Heno Chousen in Japan) is the fourth video game in the ISS Pro series and the second installment in the ISS Pro Evolution series. It was developed by Konami Computer Entertainment Tokyo, a division of Konami, exclusively for the PlayStation and was available in Europe and Japan, but not for North America, as ESPN sold MLS GameNight beforehand. It is the first ISS Pro game with real licenses, albeit partial, as some players have real names - for example, Beckham instead of Bekham (ISS Pro Evolution). The game has an expanded champions league with two divisions and eight more clubs, so there are twenty-four club teams in total, such as Leeds United and Boca Juniors. More international teams have also been added. Besides these additions, the gameplay has also changed, since it is now more fluid and realistic. The Japanese version of the game also includes U23 national teams, such as the Australian U23 team, which are not included in the European versions of the game.

In the latest issue of Official UK PlayStation Magazine, the game was voted the best PlayStation game of all time.
