The Interview with Takatsuka
Interviewer (Int.):It looks like there will be new motions for dribbling .
Takatsuka (T) : We have been struggling because we couldn`t add flexibility . But this time , we were able to add a little bit of it .
Int. : A little bit of flexibility ?
T : yes. For example , if you want to turn 90 degrees , first you needed to go right , and then go up. So you needed to always move to turn . But in "8" , you don`t have to move . You could turn your self upwards without moving the ball . There`s a well known scene that uses this movement , if the opponent comes from front of you , first you stop the ball . Next you jump the ball , and turn your back to your opponent . And then , after protecting the ball turn again where you were heading and outrun the opponent .
Int. : So you can just , adjust the direction your facing with out moving the ball ?
T : Yes . You don`t have to use space , so the variations for dribbling increased . For controllers , there are some other secret features added too, so the feeling of playing is going to change alot .
Int. : In Winning Eleven 7 International , you could make the ball float by using the right analog stick pressing Down > UP . And it looks like there are more of these kind of stuff .
T : Yes. There are some technical moves (feints) added that you could use .
Int . : What kind of feints are there ?
T : For example , you try to go right, cut back just before touching the ball , and go left. You could do these kind of movements ordinarily.
Int. : Looks like dribbling is fun !
T : Well ..some parts have been weakened . In the past series , you could easily break through the side by using dash dribbling . But this time , players that have low dribbling capability runs (dash`s) really slow. So its hard to break through sides this time . It will be hard for teams like Japan .
Int .: Are there any other changes with the controllers ?
T : In the previous game , Marseille Roulette was added , and there were opinions that the analog pass was very hard to use because it use`s the same button .And you needed to press down the R3 button to use is . So this time ,we made it so that the users could chose to , turn the right analog stick 360 degrees while pressing in the R3 button , or just turn the right analog stick
360 degrees for Marseille Roulette . You could change this in the Key config .
Int. : It looks like the choices of pass`s increased .
T : There`s no change of commands , but if you hold down the button about 1/6 seconds long , the target changes to the player thats a little far from you . In the past WE series , even if you wanted to (short) pass to the player that far from you , the ball went to the nearest player . So this time , the player could do what he(she) wants to do , compared to the previous series .
Int . : So , if you hold down the button long , your able to skip the thats close to you ?
T : Yes . You could use the normal (default pass ) button to do what you`ve been doing with the Manual Pass . And also , you could change the target for through pass`s and fly through`s .
Int : It looks like you could send a " fly through " , skipping the defensive mid fielder and send it to the front line. (I don`t know if "front line" is the right word for this . )
T : Yes . In the previous series , " you wanted to pass to the nearest player but went to the far player " or the opposite . The vagueness is gone . You could pick , which player (near or far) , you want to pass to .
Int. : Oh, I see . Are there any changes for pass`s besides these ?
T : The Centering (Cross ) has changed too . For the previous series , you changed "Far" "Near" "Grounder" by how much times you press the button . But this time , furthermore , you could choose where you want to pass (cross) the ball to ,by using the "+" button.
Int, : If so , it looks like Centering (Crossing) will be very strong .
T : I think the feel of game play has changed alot . Also the movement of the ball is better . So we were able to reproduced the shoot that you see in Premier League . Your able to shoot the ball that bounce`s off the ground 2 or 3 times and pierce`s in to the far side of the goal .
Int : And about the Free Kick , looks like indirect & trick play and has been added .
T : Yes. We thought that we couldn`t do any better at the time , but there was a technical innovation (lol) . Also , we were able to increase the number of personal (individual) motions (?) alot ,
that only specific player had in the last series .
Int. : So for the last series , there were like 4 or 5 patterns, but you added alot more to it ?
T : Yes , alot more to it . We can`t reveal the player names but we`ve added PK motion`s too . Anyhow , we really worked on this (WE8) .
Int. : So, looks like there will be feature`s added for gameplay , like for Free kick`s , touching (or pushing?)the ball a little. Are there lots of this ?
T: Indirect Free kicks is a big sales point this time . Besides that there are more motion`s added for Obstruction`s , etc. But these systems are difficult . Because there are problems with the Goal Keeper and Defenders .
Int. : Like for Free Kick , moving the wall (?) , because there are more FK variations added.
T: Yeah .(This doesn`t mean you could move the wall !! They don`t have a clue yet .)
Int. : So could you move the wall ?
T : I don`t have any clue yet . But we can`t runaway from it because we`ve given the screenshots of the Indirect Free kick (lol) . We will add Indirect free kicks , BUT we haven`t decided if we will enable moving the walls , and don`t have a clue how to move it , if were going to . Well we will do are best (lol) .
Int. : How about Defense ?
T : Were trying to improve the AI , step by step . In the past series , the team gets weak if the sideback participates in offense (lol). So were trying to fix that by adjusting the capability of keeping the ball .
Int. : How about strategies and tactics ? Are there any changes to it ?
T : No we haven`t change it . But were going over , how it effects the game. We want to make the effect of the strategy , really noticeable like WE3 and WE4 .
Int. : Speaking of AI , looks like the referee`s in the game this time . Isn`t he going to be annoying , like interfering in the game ?
T : Well , he might (lol) . About the referee , we concentrated on the AI , if he will take advantage`s or not . For example , if you commit a foul thats really hard to pick if the referee should take advantage or not , he will take advantage the first time , but next time you do it , he`ll might give you a red card .
Also if people want a screenshots thread too with all screenshots i'll do that because I have all pics released so far on my own server.
