A total of 40 unlicensed club teams and 56 unlicensed international squads (expect for Japan which is the only fully licensed team in the game) are available. PES 2 features six game modes, including single matches, training, various cup tournaments, and a Master League, in which the player can select a team to compete in various competitions and partake in the transfer market. PES 2 was succeeded by PES 3, which was released in 2003. It was the last game in the series to be released for the PlayStation and the first and only game to be released for the GameCube, though it was the Japan-exclusive Final Evolution update. The Japanese release was succeeded by an updated and improved version called World Soccer: Winning Eleven 6 Final Evolution.
Pro Evolution Soccer 2 (abbreviated as PES 2), also known as World Soccer: Winning Eleven 6 outside of Europe, is the second installment of Konami's Pro Evolution Soccer football simulation video game series.
