 Good game! August 25, 2008
I think this version is better than the next one, 2008... but it seems that 2009 version will be greater!!
 1/2 a game... June 19, 2008
First, I have to say that I much prefer Winning Eleven over Fifa, simply because of the gameplay. That said, this game is a disappointment. I, along with everyone who has stuck with Winning Eleven over the years, understand that they emphasize the A.I. over presentation. However, this game is pushing it considering the power of the Xbox 360. A bit of improvement would have been nice, because this looks just like the PS2 version.
The reason I actually bought this game is because I had it on the PS2, and did not want to drop $50 for 2008 just to play it on the Xbox 360. That said, I am half considering breaking this disk in half and playing only on my PS2. One would assume that because it is the SAME game, just different systems, the games would be the same. This is not the case.
The first thing I noticed that was missing was the during game and post game statistics. I can't even imagine why they would leave this out. Second, in masters league mode there is no during season training. Therefore, you cannot improve the players you don't use. This, over time, gets quite frustrating, to the point where you don't want to play the seasons and just play matches.
Really, the gameplay is as good as ever, though the PS2 plays better. I find that the A.I. is random, and slow to react (mostly the players on your own team). Also, the must have changed something with the Side Backs because they simply do not fall back when you lose possession (extremely frustrating).
All in all, I just don't get it. Why not improve the game to compliment the new system? Why produce a game with the same graphics and half the features?
I say wait for '09 and read the reviews, if they improve the graphics then buy it, if not, I say switch to FIFA or one of the many games created using its engine. They will catch up quickly with the A.I., and Konami doesn't seem to be making any effort to produce something new.
 Very fun to play with friends September 24, 2007
You can have a lot of fun playing this game, it doesnt matter your experience level on it.
Experienced player can make more complex/beautifull plays, but smart begginers can also do very well playing it with more experienced player...
 One Step Forward, Two Steps Back . . . September 19, 2007
Was VERY excited to try this game on the 360 console after being a Winning Eleven 8 & 9 ADDICT on the PS2 for 3+ years.
My observations . . .
Visual experience: The graphics are beautiful, but were not as advanced as what I had expected from the new gaming console.
Game play: I have read other reviews that laud the more realistic gameplay compared to earlier versions. On the positive side, slide tackling is now a viable option on defense to steal the ball. Prior versions also seemed to suffer from an over-abundance of fouls called on challenges, putting a premium on set pieces and slowing the run of play. However, I find that this version has over-compensated by allowing defenders to hang on attacking players and obstruct runs without fouls being called. It seems the only fouls called are the ones worthy of a card. Reviewers have also commented on more intelligent runs from teammates, making attacking play more realistic. Frankly, I don't see this and am constantly cursing at the screen as I watch my other teammates retreat when I steal the ball and am on a breakaway or they continue running forward on the attack after on unfortunate turnover in the midfield.
Longevity: The fact that I am still playing this game has more to do with the fact that I'm a soccer addict than anything else. I REALLY hate the fact that the ability to create your own team, your own uniforms, your own players, and edit team names, edit player names, etc. have all been left out. It is incomprehensible to me that a new game on a new/improved console with more memory would drop these features.
Bottom Line: Entertaining soccer game. Trademark soccer realism of Winning Eleven series. One step forward for graphics and visual experience. Two steps back with loss of personal customization features. People looking for a good soccer game will like this game. Long-time devotees of the Winning Eleven brand will be underwelmed.
Good soccer game, but July 28, 2007
this game is very fun to play and you can play for hours if you wanted to. however, i give this game a 3/5 because of its pathetic Xbox Live experience. if you have played it online, you'll know what i'm talking about. you can't deny anyone who you don't wanna play, sometimes it takes forever to find somebody you WANT TO play. and there's no freaking LOBBY. one horrible thing about this game is that it's a little too hard sometimes. every time you tap your shoot button lightly, the freaking ball just goes over the goal and it goes outside the stadium or something! ugh !! bottom line, it's a little more realistic than FIFA and it's pretty fun. worth a try.
