    This game is just great. EA should play good football games like this before they decide to release one more FIFA game.

    Konami strikes again! Can it get any better than this. The physics engine is unbelievable with realistic bounces, slide tackles, dribbling, shots, etc. Although it still doesn't own all of the licenses, once it does, FIFA will be wiped off the mat for good. The six star setting is a little unrealistic (magic goals for the computer, etc.) but is still worth the challenge. Buying Konami strikes again! Can it get any better than this.

The six star setting is a little unrealistic (magic goals for the computer, etc.) but is still worth the challenge. Buying classic players is a gem as usual as well as the access to classic squads. You can change teams around easily, and the Master League mode had gotten more in-depth as the series continues. I can't wait for the PS3 version of this franchise. Well worth the money and time to play the game.… Expand

    the best soccer game ever!!! hands down. WE9 makes fifa 06 a midiocre game. It's not much of an improvement from WE8 but it's still the king in soccer. WE9 is WE8 but with better graphics and online play. Konami should make bigger improvements because if they don't, some game called fifa is going to come alone and take the lead.

    To a gamer that knows or plays football, WE9 is an improvement over WE8, in terms of ball physics, speed of gameplay, and goalscoring . It's not just better graphics. It is one step closer to simulating the game of football. Every year I buy the new winning eleven, and the changes in the game are worth every penny of the purchase price. Fifa lags far behind unless you like arcade To a gamer that knows or plays football, WE9 is an improvement over WE8, in terms of ball physics, speed of gameplay, and goalscoring .

    You have GOT to be kidding. Maybe the low quality of Fifa has made this game seem good by comparison. Terrible player auto-selection, sluggish responses, poor team-mate AI, strikers who can't hit a barn door at ten paces, unsatisfying winning tactics (you'll do far better simply sprinting past defenders than trying to pass your way to a good opening)....it's RUBBISH.

If anyone is old enough to remember Sensible Soccer, they might have some idea of what it's like to play a football game that's actually fun rather than merely good looking. This might be the best 3D soccer game ever made. As they've all been atrocious, however, it isn't saying very much.… Expand

    The greatest soccer game on the market! Perfect control, intelligent opponent and teammate AI, and online play help make this game the ultimate soccer experience! You must play the amazing Master League Mode to get the full experience, its RPG elements will have you hooked in a short time! I can't stop playing this game, thank you Konami!

    Awesome game. I play it every day that I can, even if it's just a friendly for 20 minutes. I get a lot of enjoyment out of it, as it has improved a lot over WE8. The graphics are superb (much better than Fifa 06), and the gameplay is spot on yet again. A great new feature is the Memorial Match, which saves your record against your friends in multiplayer.

    Este jogo é incrível! Eu recebi e ainda não posso parar de jogar. Os gráficos são tão detalhadas para um game e é desafiador, mas divertido e terá que jogar por horas! A história é complexa e profundamente pensado. O melhor jogo que eu já joguei de forma

    A scintillating performance, marred only by the odd foul.

    The gameplay is nigh on perfection, the pace is perfect, the shooting has been tweaked subtly and, with the addition of the R2 shooting, it really feels like a new game. This is the first time since WE6 that most die-hard fans will notice a real change and a real sense of newfound enjoyment in the game.

    We'd like to see the player rewarded for his skills more, that the game was fairer. There remain plenty of moments in Winning Eleven 9 where you'll scream with frustration not because 'that's football' but because the game does something that's completely out of your control, and for that reason we have to mark it down.
