Hey what\'s up buddy? Personal message only lets me have messages of max 1000 characters and I\'m on the go so I\'ll just post my answers here. Sorry mate.
1) Master League is kind of like how you said, you start in the Second Division (you can select each team in the division yourself, or randomly). Then it\'s like regular master league, however when you win a game in Division 2 you get LESS points to spend on players than normal (I think it\'s only 6 player points a game). The top 2 teams in Division 2 go up and the bottom 2 in Division one go down. The bottom team in division 2 stays in the division. Once in division one you get the normal amount of points for winning games (8 points to spend on players + bonus). Other stuff that\'s been improved have been more stats (of both Division 1 & 2) and live scores updates (of the other games in the league) at half time and full time when you\'re playing.
2)Yes 24 teams, I think 6 in Division 2 and 18 in Division 1. Batigol is in Fiorentina in this game, but I am sure he will be in Roma for the proper ISS Pro Evo 2 release because WE2000U23 is more than 6 months old now. A lot of new players have been added to the rosters.
3)2 types of injuries - a bad one (red cross) and a normal injury (yellow cross). If you get a bad injury the player cannot continue and may be injured for several games, a normal injury and he can keep playing but he\'ll be crap. Injuries don\'t happen that often though which is unrealistic.
4)I\'ve only played Master League and exhibition, so I don\'t know any secret teams, once I unlock some I\'ll let u know.
5)I haven\'t noticed, again when I play next I\'ll let u know - but the referees are really really strict, almost too strict for my liking and you can get sent off easily if you\'re reckless. There are more different types of fouls - shirt pulling, shoving etc - but not violently like Fifa, they\'re still very realistic.
6) The game itself is amazing, dribbling is a lot easier but to compensate the defenders are even smarter. Passing and shooting are even more realistic and you really have to know which is your player\'s favourite foot, and the positioning of the ball makes a huge difference - scoring from far is much harder. Aftertouch (curl) can be done really well depending on the player, and the ball physics have been greatly improved - there are so many more types of goals you can score it\'s crazy - diving headers, bicycle kicks and spectacular volleys are a tiny bit easier to do now - I love it. The goalkeepers and players have more animations, and there are more details such as Totti\'s headband etc. The stadiums are also incredible.
It\'s sucks that the 4 player is crap though, 3 of my friends weren\'t even soccer fans but after ISS PE they love soccer and the game - we play every weekend it\'s great. Maybe one day in a few years, when the PS2\'s broadband kicks into gear we can play each other online in WE6.
I\'m going to be really busy these next two weeks because I have exams, assignments, and (eek) med school interviews. I\'ll try to check the board when I can and answer any other questions.
Cheers,
Lavan
