PS2 - J League winning eleven 2007 better than PES 2008 (IMO)

Have you guys tried J League Winning Eleven 2007? I have to say that it is an excellent football sim. I like it more than PES this year. I have been playing it for a couple of weeks and here are some of the things it contains:

English league (unlicensed)
French league
Italian league
Holland league
Spanish league
and some rest of the world teams (licensed and not)

Something I like about the leagues is that when you play a Master league, all the teams are in it. Unlike PES where you can only have up to 16 teams in division 1, here you have all the teams. I am still in my first year of the EPL so I don't know how the promotion/relegation part works.

The Fantasista mode is incredible. You play as a young (17 years old) player starting out in J league. Your first match is with a fake japanese team against another fake japanese team (I say they are fake because the kits have nothing on, but they may be real teams, I don't know).

After that game, you get around 5 or 6 offers from clubs in Japan's division 2. And as you progress, you get signed by other teams, including teams in the other leagues in the game.

The mode is so adictive that is worth getting the game just because of it.

The gameplay is great, with most of the action being on midfield. Goalies are good too. In PES I found it too easy to score, even in Top Player. J League has an extra Super Star mode for added difficulty.

In conclussion, I recommend this game to all of you.

Enjoy.

I just noticed that my sig has changed...Is this because of the Englands league people being jerks?

The game is in japanese, but you can download an eglish patch for it.

I haven't seen gameplay flaws. I think is more realistic, with most of the game being played on the midfield. I haven't noticed framrate issues at all.

It can't be played online as far as I know.

It is only for PS2, but I must admit that I don't know if you can play PS2 games on the PS3. You can buy it from play-asia.com and also I suppose you need a swap magic disk.
