When more than 10 people are willing to buy the game because of MLS.

Look, as an MLS fan, there's nothing Major about MLS other than the name. The quality of the soccer on the field is pretty minor. Soccer may have a huge following in America, but MLS does not. That's a big difference. Because of that gaming companies like EA Sports and Konomi will alway focus more on the other World Major Leagues like EPL, Serie A, Spanish League, etc... than MLS. Case in point, Konomi doesn't even bother buying MLS rights for their game because all it will do is increase their sales by 10. EA Sports, on the other hand, is very generous providing its fans with MLS teams and players. Why don't you just buy FIFA 07 when it comes out? (I prefer Winning Eleven myself).

Well said.

There are literally dozens of leagues --several of which are far better than MLS-- that are not fully represented on either Winning Eleven or FIFA. I haven't seen any posts suggesting that a game should cater to those leagues. Perhaps a "take a number and wait your turn" approach is best.

No time soon.

As fan base increases and interest grows, we might see one with all the MLS stadiums included and such - which would be cool.

I wonder if a game solely dedicated to the MLS could spark more interest in the league though. With good marketing it could work. The AFL game EA put out this year had that purpose.

I liked that one MLS game they had a while ago... in 2002 I think. It had all the MLS teams and a lot of other North American teams, both club and international. It was fun playing as Guatemala, Trinidad & Tobago, and even Canada... teams you can't be in Winning Eleven. :(
