Gaming News - August 2006
Redwood City, CA (August 23, 2006) - Konami today announced Winning
Eleven: Pro Evolution Soccer 2007 for the Xbox 360, DS, PlayStation 2, PSP, and
PC.
From Konami:
Building upon the series’ legacy of incredibly realistic gameplay, Winning
Eleven: Pro Evolution Soccer 2007 debuts several new additions that make it even
more faithful to the “beautiful game.” Player AI has been upgraded, with players
running intelligently into space when not in possession of the ball. The
physical side of play has been refined, with players working to turn defenders
as they receive the ball, and defenders learning to back off slightly to prevent
such moves. The shooting system has also been refined, as players will be able
to attempt more snap shots than in previous versions, while volleys and
half-volleys have been reworked. Other new moves include the ability to retain
control of the ball when performing a sliding tackle, while all-new feints and
backwards dribbling are now available, thanks to the improved movement controls.
Online play has been drastically improved on the PlayStation 2 and PC versions
of the game, with up to eight players being able to compete simultaneously.
On the Xbox 360, Winning Eleven: Pro Evolution Soccer 2007 will feature
incredible high definition graphics and animation as well as all-new gameplay
additions made possible by next generation technology. Two players will be able
to compete online via the Xbox Live® online entertainment network on the Xbox
360 version of the game.
Winning Eleven: Pro Evolution Soccer 2007 will feature several licenses new to
the series, including the French League as well as Portugal’s Sporting Lisbon
and Benfica. The game will also include fully licensed uniforms for the Czech,
French, Australian, English, Italian, Argentinian, Spanish and Swedish national
teams.
Winning Eleven: Pro Evolution Soccer 2007 will launch for the Xbox 360,
PlayStation 2, PSP system, Nintendo DS and PC in January 2007.
