I started playing ISS pro 98 first, not regurarly, was still fifa player (from 94-95 til 99), but occasionally at friends house, FIFA 98 was awesome so wasnt immediate convert, first mainly find it a charming little unpredictable game with just fake players. But my first time getting hooked full time was 2000, school trip to Florence, was a PS expo conference/awards just next to Fiorentina's stadio (Rui Costa was sooooooo cool, and Udinese's roberto Muzzi scored a cool volley goal), excited by most games in display, but this was instant hook, felt like a truly evolutionary step of unpredictable football simulation compared to the compeition.
They were playing tournos in this expo and long time since I played it, ISS pro evo 99, but battled my way through with Nigeria and came third place. Went home shouted the gospel to my brothers/some schoolmates and never looked back since. Story started for real with PS2 really in 2001, when they got more ambitious and started getting some real teams and names, with the first pro evolution soccer there
