    Well they are pretty much the same game; Pro Evo does get a tinkering or upgrading in the months between the WE release and it coming out. Usually for the worse sadly. The most common problem is they speed up the game too much, make it harder to play slow and any speed advantage the truly fast players have (Owen, Henry etc) is negated by the defenders being able to catch up quicker.

    Except for WE8 in Pro Evo 4. They've pretty much left it alone in terms of fiddling about gameplay wise, all that seems to have happened is the usual squad tweaks and fixing part of the slowdown problem (it still slows occasionally but not as much as the Japanese version).

    I'd vote for this one as well. All the "super-realistic" upgrades of soccer over the years do nothing for me., personally.

    The winning eleven series is supposedly the best in the world right now. Unfortunately, it goes for a fortune and is VERY hard to find the last time I looked for it.

    it's not, as previously mentioned, it's the same game as PAL Pro Evolution Soccer 4 (Xbox/PS2) which is easy to come by for anyone for around 50 bucks....

    Sega Soccer Slam is great if you don't care about playing with authentic teams. Good arcade-style play.
    Currently catching up on PSN, WiiWare, Wii U E-Shop and Xbox Live Arcade exclusives I missed.

    Anyone have an mp3 of the "goal" music for Winning Eleven 6? I used to boot it up, score one damn goal, and just leave the replay on because that song rocks. Hook me up.

    I still see Winning Eleven 7 for the PC all the time in my local EB and Best Buy. Must be the PS2 version that is rare.

    Really? It sells in the hundreds of thousands with some new edition or other about every year in Japan. If you really are looking for it, I'm sure someone here can help you out, myself included.

    Maybe he means the US release of the series...?

    The only true rare edition in the WE series I know of is WE6FE for the Cube; only released in Japan, didn't make 6 figures, probably more copies of it exist outside of Japan than in! Goes for $75+ on eBay now easily.

    So has anything better come out since December? And if "best" means "most arcadey" to me, then which one do I want?

    Pro Evo is till the best out at the moment and has the nicest controls and overall balance, also its the least arcadey.

    If you want arcadey go for virtua striker 2 on DC or ISS98 N64. Don't touch the fifa games they went down hill since 95 on the megadrive/snes. Just look at fifa 64.

    I know it's already been said but Mega Man Soccer is awesome. At least I think it is. Although I remember Game Informer giving very promising reviews for the Pro Evolution games. I think.

    well, as everyone has said, the Pro Evo series (Winning Eleven in Japan) is widely regarded as the best
    I think we're up to Pro Evo 4 now (for Xbox/PS2) and it is commonly available. In England pretty much everyone owns either a FIFA or a Pro Evo game or both
