Pick a 4-4-2, an aggressive 3-5-2 with 2 offensive midfielders or the attack-minded 3-4-3 that will surely bring tons of goals (scored or conceded). You'll be given a chance to take on the coach's seat and change the formation settings, by choosing the arrangements that we, soccer fans like to talk about while watching the game in a pub. Licensed stadiums? Guess again, this is PES and stuff like unlicensed content don't change when they've become a trademark of the series. Choose a season, setup the weather, the time of day or choose the stadium you want to play on. If you want a more realistic approach try setting the injuries on and you'll know what the British tackling is all about: broken bones and punches in the face. Select a uniform for home or away matches and setup your match's configuration by messing with options that refer to penalties, match length, entrance scene or the max number of substitutions.

You can tell the difference between the Amateur AI or the Regular one, let alone the Top Player. Don't know why they're not in the game, since they're one of the best teams in Great Britain and the winners of the 2005-2006 season.Ĭhoose the AI level right from the start and proceed to what should be a great football experience. There were previous installments where Chelsea was present, but now they're called North London. Licensed content? Not here and Konami is cheap and you'll only see Manchester United and Arsenal in Premier League. Taking up the same amount of space on the memory card as the sixth installment did, PES 2007 sure has a lot of data to load and save. If this game was created for the PC, I'm sure it would have been just another add-on or pack to raise PES 6's replay value. Konami could have at least changed the first cutscene, or at least the menu or the menu colors. I'm not the type of guy that repeats things twice so if you've read the other review, you should know about 70% of this game's features. Failure or another hit from Konami? Stay tuned as it's not even half time! However, getting to play the game, I felt a couple of changes in the gameplay and a very little bit in the game's graphics. If that was all, I'd be tossing the game aside and would have given it a big fat 3.

Browsing through the main menu, I saw a change, it was the licensed sponsor of this production: Puma, that took over Reebok's place. I was under the impression that I had inserted the wrong DVD. It had the same menus, the same options, it even dared to have the same cutscene in the introduction. I was dealing with a game that seemed to be the identical twin of the Pro Evolution Soccer 6 title. What to do? A question that I had to answer while playing Winning Eleven Pro Evolution Soccer 2007.
