2) ability to create 10 new teams from scratch?

3) referee on the pitch?

4) replay on demand (ie. you replay any moment, not just goals)

5) sensi-soccer style tournament creator?

6) differing styles of play depending whether a team's at home or away?

7) ML Champions' League (how does this work)

8) new features to attack/defense arrows in tactical setup screen?

9) ref sometimes play advantage?

1) no
2) yep, i think so
3) no
4) yep
5) doubt it
6) hmm... don't know
7) yep
8) yep
9) yep

10) can you select which referee to use before a match (maybe jsut friendly matches)?

10) yes

or did they just make all the refs a bunch of cheatin gits?


another question :rolleyes: ...

11) can u alter the formation and starting line-up of an AI team before a match?

Have any of the following been improved:

1) Can you turn of automatic clearance when you press square or circle button.
2) Has player switching been improved.
3) Do you still have to press the switch button many times to switch to the closest player.
4) Do you control the direction the ball will go after a slide tackle.
5) Is there still a delay when the player loses the ball.
6) Do players respond faster to rebounds,tackles.
7) Can the goalie drop the ball on the floor.
8) Has goalie passing and throwing been impoved.
9) Can you pass 360 degrees for freekicks, goalkicks, corners.
10) Do players still jump,tackle, kick the ball even though you have not pressed the buttons.
11) Can you select which players go up for corners , freekicks.
12) When you pass the ball to a player do you get full control or do you have to press the cancel button.
13) When you pass the ball to a player , do they still stand there rather than coming towards it.
14) Has the passing to players at freekicks,corners been improved.
15) Has the pass distance been increased. (In PES2 if the player was too far the ball would only go a couple of yards in front of you)
16) Has the the chip overshoot bug been fixed, (If you are running with the analogue stick and you just tap the chip button, the bar will charge to its maximum)
17) Do players still run away from the ball even if they are the closest.
18) Do you have control of the power and direction of goal kicks,throws and passes, or is just based on luck.


Heading questions:

19) Do you control when your player jumps, or do you just press and hope they jump.
20) Do you have more control in power and direction of headers.

1) Dunno, but I doubt it.
2) Feels like it to me, I have only been annoyed with it a couple of times.
3) Nah.
4) Well, you tackle, the ball will continue in the same direction you tackle it.
5) Yeah, but not as long as it used to be. Still annoying though.
6) Depends on the player, but overall, yeah.
7) I haven't tried it, maybe ...
8) Not noticably.
9) Haven't checked.
10) Yes, annoying.
11) Not as far as I know, also annoying.
12) Uhm ... what do you mean?
13) Depends, they usually stand still, but it depends on how accurate the pass is.
14) Nope.
15) Yeah.
16) Yes, thankfully it's completely gone.
17) Has happened a couple of times, not as often as it used to in other words.
18) You have reasonably good control on all of them, although goal kicks are naturally hard to direct precisely.
19) You don't control this as far as I know.
20) If you hit it, yeah, but you have to time headers a lot better in WE7, the R2 move-around thingie is really important on all kinds of crosses.
