Brilliant Gem of a Game

The title says it all. This is a great soccer game again. This is easily the best soccer game on the market. It amazes how each year additions can be made to the games that actually would make you want to buy the game again aside from roster changes. Yet THis is one of those games that necessetates getting the game again. Aside from killer graphics (the best you will see in a soccer game), you now have the ability to do three different types of kicks when trying to score a goal. That is incredible!!!!! Bottom Line: Do you like soccer at all? Own this brilliant, fun game.

Very Dissapointing

First i'd like to ask, did the first reviewer even play the game? I am a huge fan of the Winning Eleven/Pro Evo series. I bought this game yesterday and was excited to start playing. After about a half hour of playing i realized that the graphics are barely even updated. They seems to be just a slightly bit better than last years Winning Eleven 9 on the xbox. To me this is unacceptable considering this is supposed to be next-gen.
Onto the next dissapointment. Less leagues. No German Bundesliga this year. Also very basic editing is included. You cannot change the team names, league names, stadium names or add teams. The only thing thats available is you can change the players names and stats.

Masters league mode is untouched, so if you played any of the previous few games in this series it will be the same

The gameplay is still superb and probably the best soccer gameplay out there (although Fifa has closed the gap a bit this year). That is this games only saving grace. I just dont see the justification of spending $50 for a game that is basically the same as last years. Oh but with less leagues and less stadiums. Only 8 stadiums in this game by the way.

Long Game Title

Firstly, your opponent that quit on you R. Conover, may have been me. I left a game last night because my opponent had a terrible Internet connection.

Anyway, for my review. WEPES2007 is a mixed bag, with mostly good aspects. The gameplay is great, like it always has been. My biggest gripe from last year's game has been fixed, and that's the fact that my teammates now run for a loose ball. Last year, they didn't, and that completely put me off from the game. This year, however, my teammates now work as a team. They also attack the opposition when they have the ball, whereas they ran away from the ball-controller last year. Just this one fix has greatly increased the enjoyment level over last year's version.

Some people will complain that it's too hard to shoot, when it's actually realistic. If you are able to get set and have time to line your shot, it's not that hard. But as we all know, that's not likely to happen. So, you'll take shots on the run a lot, and those are less accurate. That's realism. I would rather have it hard to make a shot and have a realistic score than to have a 13-10 final. This is not an arcade style game, it's sim.

The graphics are disappointing, not much of a step up from last year's PS2 version (which I owned and reviwed, and did not like). Luckily, I have an HDTV, so I get the clarity and crispness of the game. However, if you do not own a high-definition television, don't expect the look of it to wow you. Closeup, the players look good. On the field, they look like they always have.

The audio is virtually untouched. The announcing is accurate, the crowd sounds good, and the menu music is awful. The menus themselves are pretty ugly too, I forgot to mention that.

Online play is great, as long as you're not playing an opponent who has a bad connection. That, of course, can happen with any game though. If you are playing an opponent with a good connection, you can have brilliant experiences online. The entire game is exciting online, very fun.

If you have enjoyed past versions of Winning Eleven (Pro Evolution Soccer), you will like this one. There is still a lack of clubs, but that's nothing new. You CANNOT edit team names, logos, flags, or stadiums. But, since I'm not a diehard international fan, I'm not bothered by that. The gameplay is where it's at, and Winning Eleven is great at gameplay. If you're a fan of the franchise, fan of soccer, own a 360, and have $50 (not $60), you should go buy the next-gen version of the series.

What Happened

I had purchased each installment of EA's FIFA series until 2005, when I warily opted for Winning Eleven 8. Since that point I have been a vehement supporter of the WE/Pro-Evo series and have gotten many of my friends to play and love the game. Yesterday, I purchased Pro-Evo 2007 and could not wait to play it on a next-gen console. I fired it up and was pleased by the intro - crisp and original. The actual game menu came up and I was initially thrown off by the blaring/annoying menu music and sloppy-looking display. This didn't bother me as the series is not known for good looking menus, but rather solid, non-inhibiting play. Starting a match, I noticed that there were not many "new" items included (as the previous reviewer pointed out, no Bundesliga). I started the actual match and was initially impressed by the graphics and gameplay. That is until I started having frame-rate issues and noticed that the graphics from the Xbox version were pretty comparable. The controls kept giving me issues and I tried tweaking different button arrangements until I found something serviceable. I came to the realization that the 360 controller doesn't translate well to the control scheme. After the match, I played a game over Live and found that there were more frame rate/horrible lag issues. My opponent quit. I ended up sighing and putting in Fight Night Round 3. Long story short - the "new" parts to the game (enhanced graphics,...ummm....Man U?) do not sufficiently negate the "ugly" parts (horrible music, control scheme/controller disconnect, frame rate problems, etc...). I keep telling myself that I'll like it after I play it more, but I hate that I have to tell myself that.

2/17/07 - I've played Pro Evo 2007 pretty extensively since I initially posted the review and have found that the game is pretty solid. My friend sent me a text message stating - "The game itself is good, but Konami gets an F for effort." I agree with him completely. This game is very fun to play and should be purchased, but be aware that you will be frustrated when you see the wasted potential for greatness.

love this game

I really don't understand the negative reviews. Yeah, the graphics aren't updated that much, but they still look great. Most importantly, the gameplay is phenomenal. I have a lot of 360 games and this one is the first one I can't put down.

Konami makers got to make the next one better for the Xbox 360

I played the game for PS2 and Xbox 360 and I got say it better for the PS2 because it had all the Stadiums. Also you can make player tranfers. For the 360 the graphices good but it could be better. For the next Winning Eleven for 360 they need a couple of things 1.Need all the stadiums 2. Player Tranfer 3. Player Jersey moving separate from body and Player Jersey get dirty when sliding 4.You and a friend can make a league online like the EPL. If they fix those things then the game will be perfect to me and couple other die hard soccer fans

It's quite a funny thing

I agree to some extent with other reviewers on here, but here's something you must take into consideration. Fifa 2007 has beautiful graphics, all sorts of wavey shorts and shirts, dirt on players jerseys, all the stadiums and player names.... but what doesn't fifa 07 have? SOLID GAMEPLAY one match you could enjoy and have a descent time and score a few goals and then the next your bobbling the ball around getting beaten 3 nil. Instead of just comparing this game to other console versions, look at its competition on the same console. This WE07 has fantastic gameplay, the controls are instant the second you want to pass you can pass, and what I love even more than that is if you accidentally hit the shoot button for too long you can cancel it by pressing the button again! which drives me crazy on the fifa games if you didn't mean to push a button you're stuck watching the ball fly god knows where. I must admit they do need to amp up the graphics a bit, and more authenticity would be appreciated but it doesn't get much better than master league. I'm not sure what the guys talking about in the review complaining about not having player transfers. you can update the transfers as current as the January transfer roster, AND you can transfer players in the master league mode. overall i thoroughly enjoy this game and I'll be selling my copy of FIFA 07 if anyone is interested lol

Great game.. with 1-2 issues

Winning Eleven is undoubtedly the only game that you can never ever get bored of. Its lasting appeal is incredible and I know a great number of people who have bought a video game system, just due to this game. ProEvo 2007 is another great product from Konami. I do agree with some of the reviewers that the graphics have not been updated as one expected over the XBOX version, but the gameplay seems to have become smoother and the movement of the players is extremely realistic.
This game is a must buy on any console.

i've been a long time fun of Winning Eleven, since the super FC ago 10 years ago.

this game is hard, and for beginner, please don't play in "regular" mode, it's too hard to score a goal.

the graphics is great on my 50" HDTV.

reason for 4 stars?
i didn't get the WOW factor after spending so much for a XBox360 and this game. the game play itself (AI) is not that much better after 10 years. if you've playing Winning Eleven prior version, you know what i mean.

Better than the current EA FIFA 07

I like the game, but I am very used to the controlls in EA-FIFA, so I had some trouble getting started. Of course, it doesn't offer all the "official" teams/names, but it is by far the better soccer game.
