World Soccer Winning Eleven 7 International looks to improve on everything that made last year?s installment the critical hit that it was. The most notable upgrade is the graphics, which have been completely redone. Players have brand-new animations and look much better this time out. Plus, six new stadiums add some more variety to the scenery for a total of 21 arenas.Year in and year out, the reliable star of the series is the finely tuned gameplay, and that constant is intact so far. Controls in the preview version were responsive, and the A.I. of your opponents and teammates was quite lifelike. The audio also sounded great with authentic crowd chants and commentary in both English and Spanish.
If there were any complaints about the previous version, it certainly was the relatively paltry selection of teams as compared to rival FIFA Soccer. Winning Eleven 7 still won?t come close to matching EA?s roster, but it now has over 100 international and club teams. Making up the difference in numbers is the depth in each of the teams, which is clearly apparent in the immense Master League mode that provides incredible micro-management controls over game strategies, player development, schedules, and salaries. As if there wasn?t enough to do already, this year also sees a 40-percent increase in options available in Master League mode.
