Every year, the new version of the game is released first as Winning Eleven in Japan, and after a few months a slightly modified version is released worldwide, in two different packages: Winning Eleven International for the Americas, and Pro Evolution Soccer for the rest of the world. Additionally, in some countries a localized version is released, featuring local leagues and teams, instead of European ones.
History and Features
Winning Eleven's popularity has grown over the years, and is currently one of the most popular football games world-wide, fiercely rivaling EA's FIFA Series. Winning Eleven 10 is the latest version of the game and was released in Japan on 27 April 2006.
The Winning Eleven series has been produced under the guidance of Shingo "Seabass" Takatsuka at KCEJ.
The main single-player mode is the Master League mode, where the player is given control of a team of his/her selection. However, the players are all generic, fictional players with relatively poor statistics. These players have become cult figures to many people playing the Master League. The aim is to use these players and gain points by winning matches, using acquired points to purchase real players to join the team. Ultimately, one should end up with a team of skilled players. In Winning Eleven 8, players' growth and decline curves were added, where a player's statistics may improve or decline, depending on training and age. This added a new depth to purchasing players, as one is less likely to purchase an aging star whose statistics are declining over an up-and-coming youngster whose statistics rise dramatically.
Since Winning Eleven 3, the game has been co-narrated by Japanese commentator Jon Kabira.
Starting with the Japanese release of Winning Eleven 8 LiveWare Evolution, an online multiplayer mode was introduced into the game. This allowed for players to compete with each other online. The game is primarily made to be played in Japan and therefore has most changes done in Japanese.
Contrary to popular belief, the Winning Eleven series does not precede the International Superstar Soccer (ISS) series which debuted on Super Nintendo. The ISS series on Super Nintendo was created by a different division of Konami, not by KCET. A version of ISS was made for the PlayStation 2, ISS3.
Winning Eleven 9 International introduced a unique new feature for online games. While waiting for an opponent to be found, you are able to just play for a short while against a CPU player. When an opponent has been found and selected, you will switch back to this new match.
