I find it easier to head in from corners in WE8, but anyway I read elsewhere that pressing R2 as the ball approaches causes the receiver to step back in order to keep his header/shot down. Haven't tried yet, so don't know if it's effective.

Sorry I wasn't clear. I was patching WE7 of course, but reading the description of the new version it looks like I have indeed wasted a CD myself. Ah well.

I tried the patch last night and would recommend the risk of wasting a few pence on a CD. Some of the graphics on the tactics screen look a little strange for some reason(some black backgrounds behind small graphics) but it's all clear. Great stuff.

Since it isn't losing Konami any money, I doubt they're bothered but since some patches contain official team strips/badges/names, I'd have thought EA would be the ones looking into the legalities and trying to stop the patching, since they had to cough up the dough for licenses to get them into...

Nope, I've played it loads and haven't seen any of those either. Mind if I add a couple more to your list? 5. The harder you press triangle, the harder your through ball 6. A slow moving guage for accurate crossing Heard about those but I haven't seen any evidence.

I second Mike21's full analogue player movement. I'd also like a user-definable camera angle, where you can specify how high and far the camera should be placed, as well as the field-of-view and whether the camera should move with the play, or just pan like a TV camera. Being able to view a...

In WE6, I once hit the side netting and was given a goal. Saved the replay to prove it.

Nice one Wolf. Descriptions for the downloads would be helpful - would be good to know the differences between the patches and exactly what some of those utils do.

As mentioned in another thread, there's a patch at: http://strider.sshel.com/technote/read.cgi?board=PDS&y_number=186&nnew=2 It doesn't translate everything, but the players' names are in English as are some of the menus, tactics, etc.

I'd like to see better slide tackling, a CPU opponent which doesn't pack the penalty area or punt the ball up all the time and more use of the analog buttons (i.e. the harder you press, the harder you kick). I'm not too bothered with sponsorships, cutscenes or other such fluff. There's always...

Yes, but they have a wonderful sense of humour. (Sarcasm)

I find it really annoying when your player heads the ball to the opponent's keeper when you were trying to pass the ball backwards from an advanced position. It's also annoying that it can take a while before your keeper can throw the ball to a player. Okay, so it stops you making mistakes...
