This is news taken from IGN website.

May 09, 2004 - Konami has unveiled solid details on Winning Eleven 8, the next entry in its platinum soccer series. The information points to a game that, as expected, improves upon previous versions in every way.

Winning Eleven 8 will feature the greatest number of teams and players in the history of the series. Master League will allow for the selection of 138 teams, up from 64 teams in last year's edition. Teams from leagues in Spain, Italy, England, Germany, France and Orlanda will all appear in the game either with real or fake names. In all, combining national and club teams, the series will for the first time cross the 200 team mark.

Gameplay changes are also being worked into the game. A new form of ball controll will feature as will the ability to select from two players during free kicks. New control options available for search pass and centering will apparently give the game a more direct feel of control.

Customization is one area that has been improving with each entry of the Winning Eleven series, and 8 is no different. New character growth features are being planned for Master League. Konami is also beefing up the game's edit features for emblems and league names.

Beginners are also being taken care of with this entry. Those confused about controls will be able to bring up a control chart by simply pressing the start button during play. Explanations will be provided for basic soccer rules and in-game skills.

And if everything falls into place as expected, Konami will end up with the biggest selling soccer game for this year once again. Winning Eleven 8 hits Japan on 8/5. Stay tuned for more as that date approaches.

Thanks but the main question is will Winning Eleven 8 be in CD (Like Winning Eleven 7) or in DVD (Like Winning Eleven International - JAP Version with multiple languages)???

GialluDis

no hope for cd version...i think

ugahari

It's difficult to patch if it's DVD isn't it? But IGN didn't mention about multiple languages...Anyway I'll report any WE 8 news news here ok?

GialluDis

perfect,
i think is normal to suppose that all the next version of w.e. will be in dvd...is for the difficul to burning a backup copy
so for the patch is not a big trouble..only...
the empty dvd price is bigger than a empty cd...

the multiple language is an evolution and i don't think that will be revomed in the next exit of the game...

GialluDis

Jap company Namco has just release their first football game titled "Football Kingdom Trial Edition" for PS2. Said to be the most realistic game ever than WE or Fifa. I saw the footage of the game & it was quite impressive & worth the look. So far no further news of Winning Eleven 8 on the net probably because of waiting for this Namco game to be release first.

Latest WE8 news from Peter Willis of www.pesinsight.com,

A quick translation of the Press Release by Konami made earlier today reveals nothing much new. Primarily the article tells us that once again Zico, the Japanese coach, will be the leading PR figure... and will no doubt feature on the cover of Winning Eleven 8.

One big point to mention is that Winning Eleven 8 will be on DVD-Rom. This is big news for anyone involved in the patching scene. The Press Release also states that almost all clubteams will have their real names in the game, in addition to almost all player names being real. New stadiums will be added to the game too, but no details are mentioned at this time.

We will try to post a full translation soon. Check back to this news article for updates.
