   Konami's continued march to crafting the perfect footy game continues this week in the carriage of the latest Winning Eleven. Each year, the company tweaks, hones, and refines the subtle and not so obvious nuances of their flagship soccer game to improve the experience. The Japanese league, as usual, factors exclusively in Winning Eleven witrh 16 division 1 teams, 12 division 2 teams, and All-Stars teams with members culled from East and West All Star rosters. The 2001 model of WE enhances the environmental realism of the game by conveying atmospheric conditions, lighting which ranges from dusk to dawn, and weather challenges to impede performance. On the field, players now suffer from the rigors of physical fatigue and the gameplay continues to shine with excellent control and finely tuned dribbling of the ball as you motor down the field. Fans of the series can look forward to more of the very challenging gameplay and necessary "training" in order to excel at this game. New initiates into the Winning Eleven fold are well served with this rewarding soccer game which earns the title of "mother of all soccer games" year after year in Japan.
