Perfect For Real Soccer Fans, Not For Amateurs

This game is great for people who understand and play soccer, as this game really requires knowledge of the game. To help, the game does provide the player with useful tutorials. Being a amateur of the sport, this game was either too easy or hard. The game offers one to five star difficulty ratings. On one and two stars, I stood a chance against the computer, I even scored some goals. The problem with this is that the computer never even got off any shots. Through some games, I would have as much as 10 shots and the computer would be left with 0 shots. Not challenging or fun at all. When I play on three star difficulty it would be the opposite. I actually never scored a goal on three star difficulty, it's was quite frustrating. This all happened with teams on the same level. I'm not saying the game is not fun, it was designed wonderfully, I just can't score a goal! It really requires a lot of passing and through balls to score a goal, just like in real soccer. But being an amateur, it was just too hard for me.

Realistic?

I don't know what half of you "wankers" are talking about. Sure the physics engine and ball play might be "realistic" but I would rather not sacrifice enjoyment for such "realism". Honestly, it seems like the game is working against the human player rather than creating a fun and engaging experience for him.

Again, the referee system in the game is a tad bit more than unfair which, in a less extreme form might be realistic, but at the level it presents itself in Winning Eleven, its just outrageous. To be called on a perfectly legitimate steal or have my only goal taken from me on a completely B.S. offsides call at least once a game makes me want to puke. Somehow even the computer generated announcers seemed to know that such calls were "harsh".

Furthermore, that the AI's players would be given such a leg up on my own players makes for a thoroughly unenjoyable game. For godsakes, my teammates couldn't hardly create a moderately tight defense to save their computer-generated, non-existent lives.

Look elsewhere for your footy, folks-ahem-FIFA-cause this one ain't worth the energy (much less money).

...disappointment...

I am winning eleven player since 1996!!! Ten years playing all the games it is the WORST of all. KONAMI slightly improved the gameplay BUT the referee system SUCKS. And you will notice it while you play the game especially at six stars. The game becomes unnatural especially when you have a small team against a big better team. I don't know why they have done this but I think it is the worst game of all. I will wait for number 6...

WOOOOOOW !!!!!

Still beats EA, Cheating CPU

I've owned and played versions 6, 7 and now 9 of the WE/PES series.

The animations are simply brilliant in this version. The game has become much more physical -- you can shoulder barge simply by nudging the controller as you're running alongside. Much more realistic crosses, deeper master league with retiring players, etc. The on-field gameplay completely overwhelms EA's shoddy offering.

However, as has been noted in many places, the difficulty level difference between 2 stars and 3 stars is far beyond realistic. The CPU does in fact cheat with the speed and abilities of its players on level 3, where it did not in version 7. In version 7 I was able to win contests fairly often at 4 stars, and occasionally on 5 stars. In version 9, I am lucky to lose only 0-1 at times, but usually I've lost two players to (unnecessary) cards and lose 0-3 or 0-4.

Great game, but Konami need to sort out the difficulty problems with a patch or they will have lost half their audience to frustration.

realistic gameplay does not make it fun.

Instead of opting for a arcade feel, this time konami decided to make it more realistic. This is a huge mistake, and hopefully konami will not continue this trend. While i have to admit that this is the most realistic soccer game, it is also in my humble opinion the worst winning eleven games. What made other game in the past fun was perfect passing and easier goal, unfortunaely this game is quite just the opposite. It so real, it not fun.
In fact the control have to get a little use to even if you are like me and have play other winning eleven games. In fact this time the control are a lot harder to use and to learn. I had to spent 2 hours just to learn the new control.
Simply put if you want to try a more realistic soccer game, and have own the other winning eleven games, then do pick this up, and i am quite sure you will agree with me.
One last thing i forgot to mention is you won't be able to see the crown when you are in the game, you can still see them in the video but not when you are playing the games. The ps2 just doesn't have enough memory to support it if it want smooth gameplay.

Better than Fifa 2006

This is a very good soccer game. The graphics, presentation, and gameplay are very good and it's a pretty easy game to pick up. The only negative thing about this game is the the commentator's voices are low and it's sometimes hard to hear them over the crowd. I recently purchased the Fifa 2006 and traded it within a week. Although the graphics and presentation are just as good if not better than Winning Eleven 9 game, the gameply on Fifa 2006 is terrible. Stick with the World Winning Eleven 9 series and you won't go wrong!
