This thread has been linked to the game 'Pro Evolution Soccer 4'.
I recently received an e-mail from playasia.com about the forth coming release of Winning Eleven 8, it has some details about what new features to expect in the game:
---------------------------
Good news for all soccer (we call it football, but, oh, well) fans out there. Konami of Japan has announced the forthcoming World Soccer Winning Eleven 8, for release on the PlayStation 2™ this Summer.
The street date is set exactly one year and one day after World Soccer Winning Eleven 7 was released in Japan (for the curious: Winning Eleven 6 was released on 25 of April 2002, so we don't exactly have one-year intervals).
The game will feature over 130 playable teams in Master League mode, as well as a new system that helps you even out the growth and decline of your system's particular talents, so you can tweak them to become better at certain things.
We've listed known features as of today:
- 138 master league teams available
- More than 200 teams planned
- Player names should be accurate for teams from England, Germany, Spain, Italy, France and the Netherlands
- Free kicks can be played with one or two players
- New modes for through pass and centering allowing more control to the player
- Jerseys get dirty during gameplay
- Improved control of players & ball
- New Help screens & pause screen with quick control
- Referee is visible on the field during play
- JFA licenced Japan A team and Japan under 23 team
We look at a few very nice additions while the list from above is not meant to be complete yet.
Free kicks can now played with two players (free kicks were not particularly easy to play in WE7 and often resulted into just kicking the ball away), we should have new ball control techniques, we have new modes for development or retirement of master league players etc.
They said we'll be looking to incorporate new Soccer rules, while we have no clue which ones they should be (ie. which ones were missing in WE7/PES3).
World Soccer Winning Eleven 8 is available for preorder for US$59.90 only and is expected to ship on 5th of Aug 2004. Don't miss it, we wouldn't want to either.
--------------------------
It looks as though Konami are tweaking the game even further and I for one can't wait :)

*Trembles with excitment*
Just think aswell, we'll be able to play it.
Me before most of you though.
*wink nudge*

Should be excellent.
No mention of the online play Konami talked about in an interview with the French PSM2 though, which sort of suggests someone has got to be wrong one way or another.
Still, 138 club teams is promising. It ain't FIFA standards, but who the hell wants to play as some Division 2 Polish team anyway?

The online gameplay may still be a feature of WE8/Pro Evo 4, I guess this information only shows as much as play asia currently know, but it's exciting times for the Pro Evo enthusiasts.
Edit: double post.
