Also, if having authentic licensed teams is very important to you, you may want to steer clear of this title apart from biggies like Arsenal, a lot of the teams are generically represented. An intermittent clipping problem is one thing, but it's actually a little distracting watching your player when he looks like his head is on fire as his hair clips in and out of existence. The one strange quirk is that there is a pretty severe and consistent clipping issue involving your players' hair. The player animation is very fluid, however, and the players are surprisingly expressive (watch their reactions when they get red-carded or miss a shot on goal). From the graphics in the stadium to the menus, the game is decidedly lacking in dazzle. There is no denying, though, that this game is somewhat.drab. This mode is extremely satisfying and makes the single-player game a more robust experience. This mode is analogous to a franchise mode, except with the added wrinkle that you start out at the very bottom rung in terms of competition and personnel and are charged with leading your team from the depths of the cellar to international glory. The biggest draw in this year's iteration is undoubtedly the Master League mode. One minor issue deals with shooting - even from about twenty feet away, world class players like Ronaldo are surprisingly inaccurate when shooting towards the goal, and on many plays where you think you've set up a beautiful score, your player will sail the ball harmlessly out of play. I rarely save replays from any game, but I already have about a dozen from this one.

Every time you elude a defender, execute a couple of crisp passes and catch the keeper out of position to rip one into the net, you will definitely feel like you earned the goal.

Once you get a handle on the controls, you are treated to the deepest portable soccer experience available. The number of moves you can pull off is simply staggering, and while they're all listed in the manual, you will be thankful for the training mode to give you a little hands-on practice. However, gameplay is paramount, and Winning Eleven has it in droves. It was a difficult choice and I ended up buying both, but eventually, the gameplay of MVP kept it in my system long after ESPN MLB ended up on the used-game shelf at Gamestop.įor those of you trying to decide whether to buy Winning Eleven: Pro Evolution Soccer 2007 or FIFA 07, you face a similar dilemma there's no question that Winning Eleven plays a fantastic game of soccer, but the presentation falls slightly short of what you'd find on EA's offering.
