Wii: Pro-Evo Soccer (Winning 11)

[Nicholasp27]

Looks like Konami may be making the better soccer game, both graphically and control-wise:

"On the contrary, PES2008 on Wii looks every bit as realistic as its hi-def cousins and, if initial thoughts prove right, it could well offer a greater level of control and freedom in terms of gameplay."

Basically, you use analog to move and b to pass, like normal games...but "the cursor is used to accurately pass the ball, so if you want to thread a looping through ball to a winger (rather than the obvious guy standing nearby) simply move the target over the runner's head and press pass."

you can also use it to "'order' off-the-ball players to make runs. Again, simply click the cursor over their heads and then drag in the direction you want them to run. They'll then scuttle off, leaving you to knock in a well-weighted ball they can latch on to. There's no limit to the number of players you can move around either, so there's no reason why a skilled player couldn't send one player off on a dummy run while crossing the ball into the path of a player they've sent in another direction."


so, it sounds great in theory...we'll see how it plays out, though


if done properly, u can start accurately making leading passes and having the other players actually make smart runs...one hand can control ur guy while the other controls the other player...if done right, then skill could be even greater than ever
