Best soccer game to date !!!

Since there was no hype whatsoever for this game, I wasn't expecting much first time I tried it. What a surprise !
IMO, even though WTS5 is NOT a madden (on soccer) it is much superior than the other two (FIFA04 and WE7). I've tried WE7, fifa04 and WTS5. Now I only play WTS5, here are the reasons:
- Its more simulation than action (video game).
- Has most teams, most players and most leagues. PLUS you can edit and transfers players and customize teams.
- You can use and abuse of sliding tackles, hello ! Sliding tackles is part of soccer (WE7 doesn't like them)
- Defending is easier than attacking, as it should be.
- Game speed is about right, a little faster than Fifa04 and slower than WE7.
- Even though graphics are not as flashy, animations (player moves) are perfect.
- Game situations are more like the real thing (again more like a simulation than a game)


One thing I don't like is the long loading time going from menu to match. Another thing that could be improved is the AI, players don't pass the ball very often thus there is too much running (with the ball) going on. IMO they don't break the game but they certainly should be improved in the next version.

Overall I have much more fun playing this game than fifa04 or we7.

Hope it helps.

Wow! The Mexican league is in this game and also Argentina's and Brazil's. You gotta get this game the gameplay is good, not great but I for sure will say it's way better then FiFa and almost as good as Winning Eleven Seven. I am just shocked and so excited that they finally put the Mexican league in here and the other south american league's too. Thank's 989' and keep up the good work. I bet 2006 will be your year and I'll be looking forward to buying your game, just as long as the Mexican league is in it : )

Great Game

The fight is between FIFA and WS7. In the recent years this small company is getting better at making this soccer game yup in one more year 989 sports is going to eat the other soccer selling video games. I is way much better for beginners and for the advance people. Plus the stadiums look cool. Another thing is the the play is much more real the the winning series. But this is me, so go out and rent it fist. The graphics is not lagging although the controls seem pretty wierd at first.

WTS2005 is now Fighting for a spot in the soccer game world and if they get the permission to get all the culb it will so cool.
