Forever, there has been a divide between the Winning Eleven and the Pro Evolution Soccer fanboys of the world. A divide that had North American gamers playing Winning Eleven while their European friends played Pro Evolution Soccer. Funny thing is, they're the same game.

But that naming confusion has been put to rest and will be no more as Konami just made it official that Pro Evolution Soccer will no longer be referred to as Winning Eleven in North America and, from hence forth, will be universally titled Pro Evolution Soccer worldwide (sans Japan). That means, North American gamers will never have a chance to experience Winning Eleven 11 (hehe, eleven), but will unite with their European brothers in playing Pro Evolution Soccer 2008. Rejoice and be glad.

Thanks. I think I've looked up the game a couple of times and was confused as hell with all the names out there - including whatever EA is calling theirs.

Pro Evo/we > Fifa

no problem, used to confuse me as well..

I hope EA borrows this control scheme for basketball and NHL...Being able to precisely control your cutters in basketball is the next big thing..

Up until this year, that was true. Go read the reviews by consumers and professionals and they all picked Fifa 08 this year. In fact you will find a lot of PES fanboys saying EA finally beat them this year. Unless the game is vastly different from the European version that has been out awhile (which I doubt), EA has the edge in the 2008 series.

I suppose PES is better than FIFA, looks truly. Inter team in Italy is too strong to be beat.

Soccer sucks

Necroing 4 month old threads sucks more.
