MOST MEMORABLE GAMING MOMENT

“Once I won all the competitions available in ISS PRO EVO 2, I decided to face new personal challenge with the same game: try to win the league with the worst available team. During the first few matches I had racked up an impressive amount of defeats, but then after a tactics refresh, I found the right combo between formation and tactics. My team was very weak, I was only able to reach the opponent goal with one single systematic and repetitive action – The rest of the time was spent in hard defending. It was really frustrating, but eventually I managed to collect more and more points which brought my team 2 points away from the top of the league – This happened just before the last match I had to play against the leading team. Picture this, I was at the end of first half and down by 2 goals, everything is tense and anxious, when in the second half something magic happened: after being able to tie the score, it was down to the last minute with one final kick left to take… GOAL! I hit home the ball to score the winning goal (3-2) which allowed my team to win the league. I was shouting and jumping around the house in ecstatic joy. It has been the last match I’ve played with that game and this memory will last forever.”
