The Winning Eleven (Pro Evolution Soccer) series is an evolution, on the part of KONAMI. But it is also an evolution for the whole gaming industry.
Some of the ball physics in this game, will compete with any current title. The way the ball deflects off the post or an oncoming defender, or the way it bobbles along the ground on a dry pitch.
The tussles for possesion, the slide tackles, the timing & positiong required to both score & defend.
It truly is a simulation, moreso than a game.
I appreaciate the GOG team for considering this classic milestone of football gaming.
