The single biggest gripe I have with the title however does not concern the changes to features or gameplay - it concerns the slowdown. Yes, that's right, slowdown.

Passing is crisper, headers can be accurately directed and there is no handball (a big one, that, because it's one less thing to get worked up about when things don't go your way).

The guys at KCET have again delivered a soccer fan's dream. And with the promise of an up-to-date roster, revised commentary and no slow-down for the UK PES4, you can be confident that it'll be still the galactico PS2 experience leaving lesser games trailing in its wake. [PSM2]

As expected, Winning Eleven 8 offers more evolution than augmentation but it still improves on past instalments – perhaps not as much as we’d like but it’s just enough to put it top of the table on goal difference. [Oct 2004, p.118]

The ball feels much more weighted and like the object we know it is, rather than the mild on rails feel of previous iterations.

A worthy purchase, but waiting for the next instalment would be a much more worthwhile proposition for those ‘sitting on the fence’, happy with the last game but curious as to whether the need to upgrade is already upon them or not.

The best soccer game out classic argentina is the best especially maradona+di stefano.
Ufuoma O. gave it an 8:
The gameplay is somehow awkward, not as smooth as the 7 edition. i am about to try fifa which i think is catching up to konami. I think the hardware limitation of the ps2 is starting to surface. I am sure the xbox version of winning eleven 8 will be perfect.
