* 3. Introduction
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Welcome everybody to my ISS3 (GC) FAQ! This is my first FAQ, I hope you enjoy
it.
ISS3 is the second sequel of the famous ISS series for GC after the
appearance of ISS2. Definitely, the game is much better than ISS2.
Firstly, it has a new mode called mission mode which objective is to win
several matches in adverse conditions against well-known European clubs.
As a result you obtain points, which you can exchange by several items
(T-shirts,socks,etc.), special movements and so on, in the catalogue.
It also includes the classical International Cup, Exhibition matches, Training
mode
and World League.
Enjoy it!!

------------------------------------------------------------------------
* 5. How to score?
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The objective in any football game is to score. So in order to complete
Mission Mode, win International Cups or whatever, you should score more
goals than your rival.
A) First tip: Free Kick
=======================
*The first thing you should buy in the catalogue is the Super Free Kick(Z+B).
If you don't have it, keep playing until you obtain it.
If you play with 2 players, there is an easy way to score goals. Anytime
you have a free kick, the player who don't kick it should go through the
wall, then you would notice that you can move the players in the wall
creating a hole. Now the free-kicker could shoot with MAXIMUM POWER
through this hole and score an easy goal with the Super Free Kick, try
to adjust your shoot to the post. Depending on the distance you should
raise the arrow shoot more or less, practicing you will learn it quickly.
*If you play alone, it is a bit more difficult. First of all, the
free-kicker should be very good(Power Shoot 9 or more). Shoot with MAXIMUM
POWER with the Super Free Kick but the arrow shoot should never impact
under the waist of the wall's players and if it's possible not under
the chest. If the free-kicker is VERY GOOD the ball will pass through
the wall 'magically' and you will score. The effectiveness is very high,
but not as high as the 2-players method.
B) Second tip: Corner Kick
==========================
The problem of this tip is that it is different with every corner kicker,
because it depends on the power shoot of the player. Anyway, the method
is always the same:
1. Try to direct the arrow to the front the keeper zone.
2. The end of the arrow should be should be at the same height of the
crossbar or lower.
3. Curve the shoot with C-stick a bit, but do not overcurl the shoot
because then you will lose power.
4. You should press button X to the maximum.
5. Head the ball pressing B and direct it to the most separated post from
the corner.
The effectiveness of this tip depends a lot on your ability, but once
you master it, it is very good.
C) Third tip: Long Pass
=======================
This is my favourite trick.
When you had been playing for a long time, you would get used to watch
the radar constantly. It's very important to do this trick. The base of
this trick is the counter-attack. When you steal a ball in your defence
zone or in the middle of the pitch, then watch the radar and locate your
forwards. If one of them is highlighted, then press Y two times very
quickly. The result will be a high pass through, then run with your
forward to catch the ball. Sometimes a defender will catch the ball
before you, but if you're cunny enough you could steal it and go to the
goal. Then you will depend on your hand-to-hand ability against the keeper.
D) Fourth tip: Hand-to-hand against keeper
==========================================
There're several ways to score against the keeper, it depends on the situation:
1. If you arrive alone to the area, try to be centred and when you are on the
penalty spot then shot pressing B slightly. It's quite effective.
2. Dribble the goalie requires ability and experience. When the keeper comes
to intercept you, then try to avoid him runnning in diagonal. If you
dribble them, then you angle of shoot would be very reduced and if you
shoot you will miss it. The KEY is: once you dribble the keeper, do not
direct the stick to the goal, direct it horizontally like if you want to
do a shoot parallel to the goal and then shoot it. It should be goal.
E) Fifth tip: Wing L-dribble
============================
This is another of my favourite tricks.
The base of this method is the L-dribble. Look at the map and
follow the instructions:
1) When your player has the ball, run near the line until
you meet a defender, dribble him with the L-dribble in (1).
2) After doing this dribble you will have enough time to arrive
to (2) where any defender will intercept you, dribble him
with the L-dribble another time. When using the L-dribble
in (2), ignore the defender and go to (3) like if you were
following a line.
3) When you enter in the area, then pass the ball pressing A.
The ball should arrive to a forward at (4), and then shoot
diagonally to post the at your left as you can see in the
picture.

Unless a defender cut the pass, it will be goal.
This trick could be executed on the other side also.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
*6. How to avoid CPU scores?
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The effectivity of CPU on hand-to-hand duels against keepers is 99%. So
avoid this situation if it's possible making a fault.
If you tackle him with X or A, you should stop him and probably receive a
yellow card.
Or you can steal the ball making a fault without receiving a yellow card
How? With Z+A, this is the way CP always steals you the ball without
getting a fault. I admit that it's very difficult to do it while you are
running pressing R, but it's very useful. DO NOT change the configuration
of the buttons(DEF.), because the special movements only work with the initial
configuration. If you use the FREE configuration or the EASY one, these
movements will be disabled.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
* 7. Mission Mode
------------------------------------------------------------------------
There are 16 missions to complete. In order to unlock these 16 teams you
should clear these missions ONLY on hard mode. This is how I cleared them.
If you followed my tips to score goals, it wouldn't be so hard. Furthermore,
you could use Pennine when you unlock it or use an original team. If you
choose the second option(like I did), you could transfer to your team some
players you create(See section 8).
Mission 1-1 Rival: Pennine

Mission 3-1 Rival: Seine
************
Your Psychical condition: Normal
Your Physical condition: Normal
CPU Psychical condition: Normal
CPU Physical condition: Normal
Objective: Win scoring a goal with a heading, volley or overhead kick
after a corner kick.
Tip: The difficulty here is to create a corner kick. I only have one suggestion:
If you have a VERY GOOD player(9 Power Shoot or more), you can create a corner
(and sometimes score) shooting from the front of the area but you should be
centred. Shoot pressing B-button until you reach the middle of the bar and if
a defender didn't block it, the goalie would send it out making a corner kick.
Mission 3-2 Rival: Rhein
************
Your Psychical condition: Normal
Your Physical condition: Normal
CPU Psychical condition: Normal
CPU Physical condition: Normal
Objective: Win scoring a goal from the outside of the CPU's area.
Tip: The easiest way to score a goal from the outside of the area, is using
the Super Free Kick(see Section 5). But in order to use it, you have to provoke
a foul. How? When you were near the CPU's area, try to dribble the defenders
running, in many cases they make a foul tackling you. Do NOT try to dribble
them without pressing R, because then they will steal the ball with Z+A and as
you know the referee won't whistle.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mission 3-3 Rival: Beaujolais
************
Your Psychical condition: Normal
Your Physical condition: Normal
CPU Psychical condition: Normal
CPU Physical condition: Normal
Objective: Win scoring a free kick.
Tip: Read Mission 3-2.
Mission 3-4 Rival: Piemonte
************
Your Psychical condition: Normal
Your Physical condition: Normal
CPU Psychical condition: Normal
CPU Physical condition: Normal
Objective: Win with 80% of possession of the ball or more.
Tip: The key here is to score a goal in the first 10-15 minutes, because
if you score later it would be impossible to complete the mission. Once
you score, try to recover the ball and pass it to your defenders. Then
lose time passing the ball from one defender to another(the keeper also).
I strongly recommend to look at the radar to not miss any pass.
