Got Game?

Didn't konami produce a special MLS version based around the WE engine?

Here's my advice for the makers of Winning Eleven: "Go big or go home." I'm not going to buy any soccer game that doesn't have an MLS license, period, full stop..

winning eleven is primarily created for the japanese and european markets
so MLS is hardly their priority. there are tons of mods created by a very talented community so its a matter of just downloading a mod pack and you can play any league you want.

fifa is an arcade game and doesnt have any pretentions to be a sim. if you want realism and faithful re-production of the mechanics of soccer w11/pes cannot be touched. its not even close.

I think they did a few years ago. They worked with the ESPN games department, and essentially made an MLS version of WE with true-to-life stadiums and jerseys. However, they only made it for two seasons, 2001 and 2002. There just wasn't, and probably still isn't, the market for an MLS game. And I must agree that WE7 is the best game made for the sport. One last thing. If you want to download the mods for MLS and other leagues for the PS2 version, you're going to need an X-Port for the PC or a USB flash memory drive for the PS2 so that you can move information from your memory card to the PC and back. All we need now is a stadium creator/editor.

2. (I'm looking at you, EA...) If I qualify a team for the World Cup, I expect to be able to play in the World Cup. When you play Madden, do you have to pay an extra $50 to play in the Superbowl? I think not.

2a. (I'm giving you an icy glare, EA...) If you're going to wimp out on the World Cup option, give me the tools to create the World Cup as a torunament, including the option to set the groups by hand if I want to recreate the actual draw.

EA sucks. I have heard that SI is coming out with a MLS version of CM. Should be good stuff.



6. Ditto for chants. It would be too sweet to hear Section 8 in full chorus during a Fire game.

7. How about this for an unlockable: More dialog. If I play long enough or do well enough, the announcers introduce new comments into the rotation so that I don't have to hear the same thing ad naseum.


XBOX version could have this stuff downloadable for Xbox live. Not a bad idea. Or unlock more announcers, each with their own different commentary.

There will be eventually. The ideal situation would be for Sony to gather all the rights in one package, a la Gran Turismo, and poach Konami's staff or do it as somekind of joint enterprise.

I'm sure eventually you will see a WE type game where every first division national league is featured along with every stadium. Ideally, a FIFA level glossy product with konami's game engine and CM's stats.

Ps2

[afgrijselijkheid]

oh... i thought... well I have game... just no video games

[JinJin]

I'm still trying to get a ****** import version of WE8...... so far from all the reviews i've read, most people say its the best WE so far. Clearly Fifa is not even close, they can get fancy with their little graphics but they are like a generation behind WE in terms of gameplay.
