According to this interview , the 360 version is not a port, but built from the groundup. We truly did build the 360 version from the ground up. I'll repeat: this is not a port of the PS2 game. Besides amazing graphics, the next generation of consoles allows us to get more realistic in terms of phy...

Couldn't agree more with your comments JRod. I have now played about ten games each on the PS2 and the 360, and the latter is just plain disappointing. The 360 version is more like FIFA than a Konami soccer game. The individuality of the players and teams is gone. It didn't matter if I was playing w...

How do you find the "born-on" date?

Question for 360 players:

Is the ML set-up customizable? i.e., can you choose what teams go in the four different A-leagues, and the one B-league, or is it pre-set?

(In the PS2 version, as in past years, it is an option you have to buy from the WE Shop.)

Thanks,
JD

Not saying she would have been the mother of the year, but I feel sad for that baby. What a way to start a life--brother dies the day or day before he's born, and then mom dies a few months later.

Played two games of the PS2 version last night. My brief impressions: -I haven't played a PS2 game in awhile, man the graphics seem crappy. And that's just coming from an xbox. -I wonder if PS2 and 360 versions are different. To me, the game seems FASTER than last year. I played on "Regular" difficu...

I don't care about the accuracy of the team rosters for the ML, I just like to have the correct names of the players I am buying and playing against and I don't want to spend the time myself on putting them all in. Zepp, I agree with you on the attributes tweaking. I don't like anybody messing with ...

Grimaldi's is damn good pizza, but I really like the pies at Lombardi's, in Little Italy, as well - wood burning oven, fresh mozzerella, great toppings. Stay away from the sugary-sweet sauced, ultra-salty packaged cheese of places like Ray's or whatever. There are weird little spots like Two Boots,...

If you playing mainly online, the lack of editing is not a big deal. However, I love playing the ML and for that a good option file is a must. For that reason I will be buying the PS2 version--and becasue I don't own a 360. I am curious to see how WE plays out on the next-gen systems. It has always ...

Gamespy did a decent preview a couple of weeks ago:

I have ordered the PS2 version, I will post some impressions next week.

Whiner? Mr. Kahn is certainly no whiner. Possibly an asshat, but I call it being assertive. Kahn also doesn't feign injury, usually because he's busy dishing out cheap shots to guys in the box. Agreed. Kahn is just a nasty SOB. Lehman, on the other hand, has moments when he becomes mentally ill. Bo...

That wasn't always the case though, right? I remember watching some Bills games during the glorious Todd Collins era (which I think was the late 90's) at a bar just 30 minutes east of Rochester. We used to drive to the town of Victor in Ontario County and watch the games. I think they soon changed t...

The club seats at the Ralph are not enclosed. But the seats are heated and you have access to club area that is enclosed which is like a sports bar. There is also a third club section named for Jim Kelly--that is where my seats are.... :D There have been a lot of local newspaper articles written abo...

A few reasons for the recent string of blackouts: -Buffalo is one of the smallest NFL markets and has one of the biggest stadiums. -The Sabres are on-fire right now and selling-out all their games. -Four home games post-Thanksgiving. Unprecedented and without a doubt punishment from the league for R...

I don't really expect much just want something that will work for the dozen or so times I play it. The only game I'm looking for is Tecmo Super Bowl. I don't care if it costs $20, it will be worth a night of entertainment. Who nows maybe I'll take the Bills and do a season. Always loved throwing dar...

Thanks, that looks like a pretty good machine and the controllers look decent--some of the other ones look like they are going to fall apart. While searching for an NES I read something that the U.S. NES patent recently was up and that is why all these unlicensed, but legal machines are now showing ...

Anybody know anything about these systems on ebay? There seems to be a few different versions. Here's a link to one: http://cgi.ebay.com/TOP-LOADING-LOADER-NES-NINTENDO-ENTERTAINMENT-SYSTEM-XB_W0QQitemZ250061420372QQihZ015QQcategoryZ62054QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Was thinking of picking one up so I can p...

WE9 (Xbox)

It has licensing and franchise flaws, but the gameplay is still on another level when it comes to sports gaming.

I'm not sure I get the whole removing teams and such from next-gen games. I mean it's just data--why can't it be transferring over directly? Stadiums may be one thing as they have to make new models, but please Konami, don't tell me you need more time for new hi-res designs of those butt-ugly defau...

The 360 version will be a stripped down version of the PS2, not as many stadiums, not as many leagues, etc. I doubt it'll differ from the European version, perhaps they'll come with updated rosters, that's about it. I agree. What a weird time in sports gaming. Shelling out the big money for next-ge...

Thanks for the impressions. A few questions: The NA release is for Feb and is for 360, PS2, and PS3--no xbox? In reading the impressions at PESFan, it sounds as if the PS2 version actually has more options (including way more stadiums) than the 360 version. Any word on what the NA releases will be l...

Forget the launch...how sad is it that I'm excited just to sit here and watch you guys discuss the damn thing. You are not alone Mutt, I'm the same way. I have probably read a dozen articles about the PS3 and Wii launches in the past week and monitored this thread, but will not buy either one for 6...

Remember all that Tevez/Mascherano buzz just two months ago (myself included)? They are already being rumored to be sent back to South America: http://msn.foxsports.com/soccer/story/6172674 These guys have made Veron's and Forlan's stay in the EPL look glorious by comaprison. I for one was way off o...

The 360 has been very well-received other than its reliability woes. The reliability is what worries me about the 360. I game for about 4 hours a week--late night after kids and wife are asleep. I never want to worry about my machine not working when I get that hour or two to play--especially if I ...
