Any opinions? How does it compare to Fifa 2005 ? I tried it on the PS2 and
it looked pretty good, any improvements/changes for the xbox release ?

Does winning eleven 8 license player name from all the big clubs? I
thought that was the big knock against it. Who wants to play a soccer
game with Joe Blow as your teams striker?

Does Pro Evo have access to all the players names and likenesses?

Neither do. And in terms of pissing on Fifa from a great distance, no
online means it could only piss on Fifa from in the same household.

It pisses on Fifa from a great distance. Pro Evo 4 has Xbox Live support.

It has licenses for the Dutch, Italian and Spanish leagues. Most of the
others have real player names, but not real team names or uniforms. It's
easy to edit though.

European version does have Live support. Most teams have the correct player
names and likenesses (a few exceptions) but only some countries (Italy and
Spain and some others I can't recall) have the official team names etc.

The European version does have Xbox Live, as I said. If you don't live in
Europe, then you get what you deserve. By the way, it's called 'football'.
Don't ever call it 'soccer' again.

Why make a "football" game for the US when ............?

I didn't call it soccer.

I also didn't know that the original poster was posting from Europe so until
he says he is, IT DOESN'T HAVE ONLINE.

I think this will be the deciding factor for me, I don't wanna have to spend
time editing names and uniforms for the lesser known clubs...

Online play is not a big concern...

What about the game itself, I never had a chance to play fifa 2005...I'm
still surviving on a badly bruised copy of fifa 2003, squeezing out the last
few drops of useful work I guess...

Other than licenses and online, is there anything that would make one stand
out over the other ? Any cool tricks, designing set plays, variety of
strategies, etc...

How about difficulty, fifa 2003 was challenging at first but it didnt take
me too long to get accustomed to the world class level...how do fifa 2005
and winning eleven compare in that respect ?

If your deciding factor for a 'soccer' game is the player names and
likenesses, then you probably won't be interested, or deserving, of a copy
of Winning Eleven.

You're probably after brain dead monotony and laughable ball physics. So
stick with Fifa.

You football elitists are so funny. The reviewers don't share your "light
years ahead of Fifa" view anymore.

Not trying to be funny but did you notice that the extremely ratings of
winning 11 are mostly from European sources. Most mainstream mags and sites
rated them a lot closer than the 8% you are referring to.

Wow genius, that answered everything. Where exactly did it explain "well
