International Superstar Soccer Deluxe - Differences Between ISS and ISS Deluxe

Differences Between ISS and ISS Deluxe

The Deluxe version, released in the same year as ISS, contains several developments over the original. These changes refer to the SNES version.

• It was made possible to play with two players co-operatively against the CPU
• Extra commentary was added, although it was basic and consisted of a few set phrases such as "Down the wing!", "It's a biiiiiiiiig kick!", "Incredible control!" and "Blocked shot!", which sometimes played a little too late, to comical effect
• Player graphics and game AI were improved
• Substitution and player selection was improved, making it possible to tell the type of player being selected, striker, defender, etc.
• Activating one of the set strategies results in the name of the strategy appearing on screen
• Corner kicks and direct free kicks no longer have a few seconds before taking where the camera pans around the players. It was made possible to control panning before the kick is taken
• The timer shows a ring graphic which counts down the time in each half
• It is possible to tackle the goalkeeper when the ball is out of play, frequently (but not always) resulting in a red card
• Curling the ball became more pronounced, including the ability to curl kicks taken by the keeper
• It's no longer possible to knock down the reporters standing behind the goal by hitting them with the ball.
• Winning the league mode in the hardest difficulty unlocks the all-star team. The all-star team has the best players in the game maxed out, so every player in the all-star team is equal in abilities.
