is very similar to the Playstation's ISSPro one.

pitch condition modify the aspect of the field! You can play on a wet field or
on a snow covered one, in this case the players will wear gloves !

evening the players have 4 shadows.
    * You can choose screenmode (example hires picture), radar size, if you want
to see always the match result or the active player name...
    * You can play friendly matches, cups, leagues, world cups (picture) ,
training, penalties, free kicks.
    * There is a great Arcade Mode with two different pitches that seem an arena
and with 11 custom "arcade teams" (picture)(one is the secret one) and you can
do a challenge similar to a beat'em'up with the gameplay that is mix between
speedball and a soccer game! (picture)
    * There are a LOT of cheat modes!
