You're now able to quickly and clearly select teams, change formations, substitute players, and then sit back and absorb the lengthy opening game presentations. The game now presents itself with more visual flair, a better set of menus to toggle through, and a logical system that's not bogged down in redundant or cumbersome menus, pages, and text-heavy sections. YES NO This year's model comes complete with another set of significant improvements in all areas, the most obvious being presentation, one of Konami TYO's traditionally weak areas.

If you even sort of like soccer and fancy yourself a competitor, you owe it to yourself to play this beauty. It's beautiful, filled with highly polished gameplay, exquisitely subtle and realistic moves, and state-of-the-art animations.
#WINNING ELEVEN 8 BEST PLAYERS PC#
Winning Eleven 8, due on February 1 on Xbox, PlayStation 2, and PC in the US, is a champion of soccer games. Over the last five years, Konami has fiddled with the American version, trying different things and finally in the last three years, nailing what is genuinely considered the world's greatest soccer game (though we haven't forgotten ESPN MLS Extra Time, which stunk.) In particular, the last two versions have been outstanding with this year's version looking to outrank them all. It's tough to say…īut Konami keeps coming back with newer, prettier, and better versions of its world-class soccer game, and whether we receive it first, second, or last, it doesn't matter, as long as we get it.

Maybe it's the low scoring games, the lack of hand work, or the simple fact there are no cheerleaders to get us through a tough loss. football or futball, is the predominant world sport. It doesn't really seem right, either, since soccer, i.e. It's just that, somehow, those other sports, the big three - baseball, football and basketball…OK, four, hockey - really have the majority of the sports fans' attention (and the networks' money). But it's not as if us Yankees don't love the superbly entertaining sport of soccer. We get most things first, so we have little complaints. And that Europe, which is collectively crazy about the sport, gets it second. We understand that Japan, where the game is made, should be the first to receive the latest iteration.
