"Winning Eleven 7 continues to push the boundaries of gameplay to create the best soccer simulation available, if not the best sports game," said Rob Goff, Product Manager at KDEA. "We strive to keep the Winning Eleven franchise the world's most realistic soccer game year after year, and the unprecedented additions and improvements we have made to this year's game clearly demonstrate that commitment."
Now featuring more than 100 national and club teams, and 21 beautifully rendered stadiums, WE7 leads the soccer genre with astounding player control, ball physics and playmaking abilities. The title's new graphics engine delivers the greatest level of detail seen in any soccer series. Hundreds of new player animations mean that players not only look identical to their real-life counterparts, but they also move like them. The game includes amazing detail from players' changing facial expressions to bandages that protect their recent injuries.
As gamers navigate improved menu screens, they will have their choice of several cup and league modes, including the deepest franchise mode of any sports game, the Master League. Expanded to become the ultimate in league play, the Master League now features competition within four regional leagues. Teams must battle through their own divisions for a chance at club team supremacy in the Champs Division. Aided by a brand new player "search engine", virtual managers can search through the entire league for the perfect player to take them over the top.
Additionally, carefully refined A.I. creates the best challenge in sports gaming, along with realistic pace and balance. The computer will bring a much more challenging defensive scheme to the pitch and ever-so-human referees will be playing the advantage in foul situations or even favoring the home team! For those looking to go even further in their play, Winning Eleven 7 introduces a "Shop Mode" where players earn points that can be traded for new players, teams, stadiums, crowd effects, and strategies.
WE7 is rated E for Everyone and is available at an MSRP of $39.99.
