I have been playing winning eleven since it was called "goal storm 97" and have every single title of the same family from Konami. From My personal experience there is no comparison between WE and FIFA because FIFA is extremely easy and not very realistic I mean a lot of people in BKK can beat many teams in World Class mode 15 -0 or more including myself. While I can only manage to beat MAN UTD(best score so far) in Extreme mode season 3 of Master League 8-1!!! FIFA football (soccer) games are the same as English food "great presentation unfortunate about the taste!!!!"

The game play of WE International has improved dramatically since the last version. Unfortunately the name of players are not correct and is not updated enough, for instance Tony Adams is still at ARSENAL. This is simply because it is not the newest WINNING ELEVEN game!!!!!

At present the BEST of Winning eleven series is called "WINNING ELEVEN 6 FINAL EVOLUTION English Edition" There are more teams in the master league but honestly who would want to play as Aston Villa (no disrespect to the club). This game is truly fantastic with smoother control when dribbling, it is now possible to bamboozle 4-5 defenders from players such as Henry, Ronaldo or just leave defender eating your dust from the like of Owen and Shevchenko. The passing is crisp and free kicks are a lot easier to master. You can beat teams ( 5 stars diff) like Brazil and England using lowly Japan or South Korea by passing the ball around and waiting for the perfect time to put a through ball to one of your strikers. It is also a lot quicker in term of game play speed than Winning eleven international. Players stats are included (including completion rates of passes, dribble, shots etc.) at the end of each match.

There are a few let downs however as Advantages are not recognised by the invincible refereee. Tackles from behind are sometimes went un-punished!!! Nonetheless it is still the BEST soccer game to date.

What else can I say TRY to get hold of WE 6 Final Evolution English Edition asap and you will know that everything I say is true......

Worse Game I ever play

Even the motion of the players are better than ever in term of realistic, the game play is really really BAD. The graphic is also not too good.
Player Controlling can not call playing game. It's too unpredictable in controlling, hard to control the move of players. They create some kind of buffer to stores the command so that it make a delaying response which make this game really up to the LUCK big time and can not count on the controller we holding anymore. However, A+ for motion of the players.

Good game play

The game play is good. You can be certain countries, but the characters are fictional. The controls take a little time to get used to though. The bad part is the graphics. I found them a little jaggedy.

5 stars? come on

if 5 stars implies perfection, then there are a few on here who need their heads examined. without a doubt, we11 is the best football game but it has more than its share of problems:

- licensing is something konami should really shell out a few extra yen for.. it's silly to think that there is a huge glut of 'fifa-only' football fans in the world who won't buy this game simply because of the absence of a license! i don't particularly fault these fans either, after all they'll be paying for the game. personally i couldn't give two sh*ts about real names or not but konami should have a serious look at their business model!

- gameplay is difficult and sometimes arbitrary. people claim that all manner of situations are possible with this game but i've had it for 2 years and usually score from just outside the box WAY more than any other time. have scored from a corner just once. (owned iss pro '98 and played it to death so this isn't my first konami game either.) on level 3 i found the computer would ratchet up the difficulty during games without warning, almost as if it wanted something to happen, eg. a completely ridiculous sequence of skillful moves leading to a goal that you would imagine only a div. 1 or 2 team capable of pulling off.

- the game forces you to learn the advanced button combinations in order to 'unlock' more depth. in a football video game (and this applies in real life football) it shouldn't be necessary to have to hold down a shoulder button while passing the ball and pressing another to perform a 1-2 or whatever.. simple one-touch button pass back to the original player should be enough, bang. i pass it to you and used the same button to ping it back.. instead the ball often drifts into no-man's land where the defense gobbles it up.

- the through ball needs serious re-working. its use is tilted too much toward attack; you should be able to use it outside your own box just as you should in the opponent's box. instead, the game thinks you want to hammer a 25 yard ball on the ground up the field to an attacker off-screen, when all you want is a simple 4 yard run into space from your defender between opponents!

- as someone mentioned earlier in these reviews, there seems to be a buffer around your player that causes analog stick movement/reactions to be sluggish. i've noticed this with higher-rated players too so it's not just a rating/poor player problem. there is a fundamental dearth of 'felt response' when moving and even shooting..

- shooting is a bit mixed up as a whole too, often a shot you've suspected of being a dribbler ends up speeding into the bottom corner while one you imagine bound for the top corner is kept out by an unrealistic save.

- long balls are almost never hit into space over your (or defender's) head. always a 50-50 heading challenge. this isn't really like football

- overall presentation is a bit too focused on recreating what football is like on tv, a fifa-syndrome that i'd prefer konami to steer well clear of

- goal celebrations are just a joke

- commentary in all games is stupid, same here

- crowd sound is sub-adequate, reactions are delayed and hollow sounding, non-immersive (it really feels as if the developers watch a lot of ball on telly but don't actually go to games!)

- menus are terrible, clunky, and frustrating - it really shouldn't be this difficult to enjoy yourself!

like i say, i've played this game quite a lot and believe whole-heartedly that simple, effective football in a game should be SIMPLE to perform. a more intuitive control scheme. i'm obviously biased from iss '98 which i thought had an incredible balance and beautiful feel. i haven't played a fifa in years so can't fairly compare we 6 to that game.

do yourself a favor and rent this game! it's the best but there are still plenty of areas of improvement.

Best Soccer Game Ever!!!!!!!!!!!

When I went to the store I was looking for a soccer game it was a tie between either Winning Eleven Six or Fifa 2003. I looked at the cover and the back of both games it looked like fifa had lighter pics but not as realistic as winning eleven. International teams it's so real. It's way better than Fifa, but the problem is when you go to a local store there either sold out or only have one in stock.

I haven't played this game but all I would say to anybody is play Pro Evolution Soccer and the upcoming Pro Evolution Soccer 3. These are THE games to play for football/ Soccer without a doubt. Forget the rest play the best!!

Score One for Konami

I have been playing Fifa since it came out on Sega, that's a long time. Best Fifa game has been 98, then 2002 and to some degree World Cup 2002. But Winning Eleven beats them all by far. Why you ask. Its simple, Realism! When you play a match on winning eleven it feels and looks like the real thing, not those precise crosses or never-ending bicycle kicks you see in Fifa, this is truly a football simulation. With some few minor adjustments this game can actually dethrone Fifa from the shelves forever. First they need to buy all the club and national team licenses they can. The club teams for example Milan, Barcelona all have different names. They need to add more club teams from all over the world, for example Argentina and Mexico. The game narration could use some help, even though you can here the game in German, French, Spanish, and Italian, that is a definite plus. The formation strategy window is perfect; both players can modify their team's formations and substitutions at the same time. And there is an endless array of formations and you can create one if you can't find the one that suites you. And last they could use a better name for the North American market; winning eleven just doesn't cut it. I could go on with what's great about this game, the training sessions, the tournaments, etc. Remember when eight of your friends got together and played a world cup on Fifa, each one choosing a different team. Well you can't anymore, leave it to those geniuses at EA. Well EA bad news, your not the only Football game that is out there anymore and beware because Konami has done what you should have done years ago; Listened to your Customers! I'm just fed up with Fifa, Fifa 2003 was the last straw, its horrible, just plain horrible. So play my Futebol fellow mates, because Football doesn't get better than this. At least for now. Score one for Konami.

dont think, just buy and play

this is the greatest footie sim on the market bar none.
enuff has been said about the perfect feel of the gameplay and the great graphics(xbox version please! hdtv owners NEED this in 480p konami!)...just read the reviews here or gamespot or ign.
sure they dont have the license of many teams but there is an extensive built-in editor, and if you're feeling lazy there are countless websites with user-made rosters. all you need is a xport to transfer them onto your ps2.

room for improvement is left by the fact that advantage after defensive fouls are not recognized, sometimes(once or twice every game)the cpu doesnt switch you to the player you need after a longball is played, and the reffing is horribly unfair(against the player of course). but then again after the last world cup you could say that this is quite accurate ;)

finally for ppl that think fifa is a better game (im looking in your direction foilpac)....you know absolutely NOTHING about footie.

You're a fool if you dont buy this game.

i have been playing the winning eleven series since winning eleven 3 (final evolution) in japanese. i actullay learned the katakana characters from all the time i spent playing the series(and i dont have a japanese background). i own the the next sequel to this game in japanese and playing it right now(thats the only reason why i'm not playing this game right now but i have played it for more than a year in the japanese version). FIFA is like a stone age version of this game (i would rather play winning eleven 3 which was developed in 98 than FIFA 2003). really if you actually own any FIFA game and dont have this game then i feel sorry for you. i only feel bad that the team who brought this game to the US didnt spend much effort into updating the teams but i dont care even if i have to edit all the teams. dont worry if you dont like the game when you start playing cuz i didnt like the game at the beginning and look at me now.
