Winning Eleven DS

[Johnny]

Anyone also get this? My copy arrived today and I've played 5 matches so far.
Graphically it's very, very basic and blocky (especially on set pieces) and gameplay-wise, it's more or less like ISS Pro/ISS Pro 98 on the PSone which means no continuous diagonal running and so on.
Control wise it's identical to the PS2 with:

A - long ball/cross/slide tackle
B - pass/attempt to win ball
X - through ball
Y - shoot
L - switch player
R - run

To be honest, despite being a seasoned Pro Evo vet and used to all the gameplay features, this didn't feel like an awkward step backwards. Maybe it's because I have very fond memories of ISS/ISS 98 but I'm really, really enjoying this a lot more than I expected to.

Haven't tried it out online but I expect to do so tonight or tomorrow.

Football was never better than when on PSOne, sounds like this is what Ive been waiting for

It's not bad so far. Defo best footy on DS. But damn, make sure you change the difficulty before starting a game, because default is stupidly easy.

Yeah, I am finding it a tad on the easy side.
Any menu translations available?

Havent checked yet. I'll checkout Gamefaqs. I think the difficulty can be changed during the kit change screen. It's the option below where you change the kits.

I found the penalties a bit of a joke to be honest.

Let's be honest here. The penalty system is the same in current pro evo games. Six directions with random misses.

I don`t like the long passes, free kicks and corners, there isn`t enough control because the response is so direct. It looks like absolute ****,especially compared to the PSP version graphics, but it plays better and that`s what it`s all about. But damn those graphics are just nasty. Drawing a circle is too hard nowadays on a DS?

[NeoStuey]

Got this today.

I think I have found what appears to be my friend code for WE DS.

Anyone else want to post theirs so we can try having some online matches.

I managed to get a match-up with someone in Japan, terribly laggy like a stop motion film in slow-mo, and we ended up getting disconnected during the second half.
