It's the stupidest way to introduce the game imaginable.īut, to us, it is indicative of something. You just do not win 6-2 in a Pro Evolution or Winning Eleven game. To be honest, it is completely anomalous. The score line, 6-2, is the sort of excitement that we've come to expect from end-of-season encounters between closely matched sides throwing caution to the wind for the sake of a few more points and climbing to 11th. What they don't realise, though, is that we are their lords and masters, and that our thumbs are the mighty instruments that drove them to such a divine accomplishment.
They will raise them to thank the lord for their good fortune. As the final whistle blows - and, perhaps in deference to Sky Sports, the score graphic vanishes from the top of the screen - they will raise their arms aloft in exultation. Lucky strikeĪs we type this, see, the players of AC Milan are preparing to celebrate a monstrous 6-2 victory over Bayern Munich. Then you won't mind if we lapse into dreamy approbation. What this is, to be completely clear, is a more fluid, responsive and balanced version of PES3 that you can only buy in Asia - with the option of menus and commentary in several different languages, helpfully including English, which makes the Master League mode a little bit easier to handle. And yet it's not the same as the American version, which is also called WE7 International thanks to Konami's confusing decision to market PES under the Winning Eleven banner in the States. That's because Winning Eleven 7 International - the Japanese vintage - is a fairly minor adjustment to the game we all bought at the end of last year. Go and play PES3, and, by the time you can curl a Beckham free kick into the top corner every once in a while, you'll be in a position to appreciate why this one is better. What you want is Pro Evolution Soccer 3, which remains the pinnacle of footballing accomplishments in your local gaming shop, despite the efforts of 878,000 FIFA fans to convince us otherwise. Given that PS2 console games are region-locked, and that the average punter is very unlikely to have a Japanese console tucked under the telly, it seems fair at this point to bid a fond farewell to those of you with no prior experience of Winning Eleven.
