They of course promise a better AI, a new and realistic shooting system and lots of other improvements.

It looks very pretty. Are these 360 or PS3? I remember one of the new football games is actually leading on PS3, was it Fifa?

They are marked as PS3/360 on EA's press site. As far as I know 360 is the lead platform for EA, and PS3 the lead for Winning Eleven.

Looks good, any news on the Wii version? Curious how it controls, im assuming it's similar to mario strikers.

Looks pretty decent I'd say; the faces are still too glossy but look much better than before. My brother swears by FIFA now even though he used to be a PES die-hard just b/c Konami screwed over the 360 so bad that he switched. I have to say FIFA is OK, but I just really don't like the physics on the ball at all and it just feels too arcadey over all, but I've always said that FIFA gets a lot of undeserved crap b/c it's going up against the best sports series in existence. They've copied a lot from PES the past few years, they should just swipe the rest and give Konami a run for their money so that they get off their lazy asses.
 
They have to make the controls much more responsive, had tricks, and majorly rework the presentation.

The graphics look great as allways even if when in game the players seem like they don't have the right body proportions.

I want to hear more about the wii version - it is going to be interesting to see EA's take on the controls (and visuals)

So which system has the nice grass?

They really need to do something about the crowd though.

... maybe they should just think about creating hi-def assets now for the crowd; then downscale them into normal mapped 2.5D assets. The crowd there looks terrible. They're still cardboard cutouts. Except this time, they're blurry cutouts.

That's some bloody nice grass.

Cant get excited over a Fifa game though, burned too many times by their annual "Its fixed this time! Honest" babble.

There are scans from a magazine with screenshots of the Wii version, looks good, with shadows etc intact from xbox+ version.

Wii version includes multiplayer table football. There is also a special "mii mode" that is quite funny, in a total different art-style with a goal-scoring minigame and a "rythm game". The Mii's have football tenues on, so it shows enhanced 3rd party mii integration for the first time (where they keep the head but use it with a different body and a slightly different rendering mode.

damn am I ever glad not to be working on this garbage anymore lol

Yeah, the guys at Konami have it way better. They literally have to work, what, a few hours a year taking features out of the X-Box/360 versions? Is there anything else that goes into a new iteration of PES?
 
Theres a suprise it looks the same as last years, holy shite i know rooney is no looker but dear good they made him look even worse.:lol

The Wii version actually has Tablesoccer. The Wiimote would be perfect for that. ITs gonna be a lot of fun.

People don't look that good. The field looks incredible though. I don't know, I'm going to need to play both of the next Winning Eleven and this one before I decide.

Miroslav Klose I would assume.

Not from his face but from the fact that it's a Werder Bremen shirt and he is their most famous player.

I don't think so. Klose looks very different. Maybe this is Thorsten Frings.

I rather think it's Baumann.

By the way, lol at Baumann and Ribéry :lol

Ribery looks hilarious. Like Lucky Luke or something. I actually like the cartoony look, even if unintentional.

They still can't get Rooney's body shape right, he looks like he has a shrunken head. :lol

He still looks like a hamster though, so that's good enough I suppose.

Ronaldo's eyes were cool IMO: Tracking the defender, now that's next gen. The defender, however... looks like his model isn't finished. He's got Rosemary's baby's eyes.

Yes, it's Miro. They didn't get him quite right in '06 as well, but this model looks even worse. You can kinda make out that it's supposed to be Klose, but I expected better. :(

screenshots look great as always, but PES is still king as far as I'm concerned.
gameplay > graphics

Shadows look noticeably worse in the gameplay shots. Its probably why the game now's touted to be running at 60fps

FIFA 07 ran at 60 FPS (most of the time)
