In view of the fact that WE8 will be out in perhaps about 6 months from now, I have released another 20 suggestions today to Joanne-Customer Service, Konami. To share with you guys, this is what I have written.
1. First Leg Score indicated during commencement of the 2nd Leg match.
2. Add more brutality to the game with dramatic injuries such as boot hitting the face/head/chest. Blood on player’s face or head. Keeper should be proned to such injuries. More heads collision when competing for high balls. Sound of clashing should be enhanced.
3. For serious injury, player should remain on the ground for a longer period, at times motionless until the ball goes out of play. Also allow player to limp on the pitch if he cannot carry on playing.
4. Enhance the Option file- besides badges and players’ names, enable edited kits and faces to be transferred to the next edition. It is really time consuming to rework all the names and kits each time when there is a new edition.
5. Besides Classic teams, allow us to purchase all the World Cup Winner Teams since its inauguration.
6. More dynamic celebration such as player jumping across the advertisement boards to salute the fans or doing his own individual gig.
7. On exceptional dry pitches, leave behind a trail of dust as the ball is booted away. On exceptional wet pitches, leave behind a trail of marks on places which has damaged due to heavy sliding activites. Muddy up the shorts and jerseys. Player’s face should be stained with specks of mud as a result of some steep sliding actions.
8. Create a huge reservoir of archived information in the Team Info. It should include a Goal Statistic Record broken down into goals scored or conceded as follows:-
a) Headers
b) Volleys
c) Corners
d) Dribbling
e) Own goal
f) Shot conceded/scored outside the penalty area
g) Shot conceded/scored within the penalty area
h) Penalty
i) Direct Free kick
j) Indirect Free kick
k) Goalkeeping error
9. Better Commentary .The commentator should be endowed with more artificial intelligence and numeracy . More information should be included in the Team management/Info to provide the necessary resources for the commentary. The commentator’s voice must be passionate, vibrant and exciting. Have a panel of commentators for variety. The commentary should be centered on both the competing teams’ info and inter alia should include (a to z):-
a. Reminding us of the first leg result if we are playing the second leg.
b. Name of the ref and captain.
c. Players to watch out for- those with high performance ratio (see below)
d. Player that should avoid getting a second yellow card and missing the next game.
e. Current top scorer of both teams.
f. Player nursing an injury but is on the starting 11 line up.
g. Attacking/ Defensive Records of both teams
h. Record of consecutive wins or losses.
i. Players having the most yellow/red cards (analysis on both teams)
j. Player making his debut
k. Player back from injury/suspension
l. Based on the real time stat, comment which player is having a good game.
m. Mention the name of the player who has caused an own goal
n. Give a brief description of the weather
o. Mention the crowd size and the name of the stadium
p. How many goals we need to score inorder to move on to the next stage.
q. The cruncher-reminding us that this is the game which will decide the championship or enable us to proceed to the next stage of the tournament.
r. Reminding us that this is the game we must not lose so as to avoid relegation or exit from the tournament.
s. Give a brief overview of the formation, attack or defence oriented.
t. Mention in passing the name of the player who has missed a recent penalty.
u. While the game is in progress, comment on the team performance based on the real time stats.
v. Comment on the strength/weakness of the teams based on the goal statistic
Eg.strong or weak in aerial battle.
w. Home/Away record with the opponent.
x. Position of the teams in the Master League
y. Star striker or striker valued at 600 points and above currently experiencing a goal drought. How many matches of barren run.
z. Name of the former player competing against his previous team.
The above list is not exhaustive. It is just some ideas which can be found in the game
where the commentator can make use of for his commentary.
10. Team Information should also have a record for each player former or present:-
a. No of first team appearance
b. No of times being played as a substitute
c. Performance ratio-No of points accumulated based on the rating at the end of each match divided by the number of appearances(inc. as a sub)
It is imperative that the correct rating should be given to the player at the end of
the match. Noted the rating currently given by the system can be highly
controversial. I once had a defender who did not make any mistake whatsoever
securing a meager rating of 5 where another defender who seemed intoxicated and
making all kinds of silly mistakes you can find in the game securing a rating of 7.
11. During the match, players from each team having acquired the highest performance ratio based on all previous matches should have their names displayed on a Banner.
12.Golden Boot award to the top scorer of any competition. The winners should be
archived in the respective team info for the commentator to comment on .
13.Indirect Free Kick should be included to make the game more complete.
Compared with the Direct Free Kick, the indirect free kick is more difficult to
perform as another player has to touch it before we can aim for the goal.
An indirect free kick should be awarded to the opposing team if a player, in the
opinion of the referee, commits any of the following offences: (a)
dangerous play, (b) impedes the progress of an opponent, or (c) prevents
the goalkeeper from releasing the ball from his hands.
An indirect kick will also be awarded if the goalkeeper: (a) takes more
than four steps while controlling the ball with his hands, before
releasing it, (b) touches the ball again with his hands after it has been
released from his possession and has not touched any player, (c) touches
the ball with his hands after it has been deliberately kicked to him by a
team-mate, (d) touches the ball with his hands after receiving it directly
from a throw-in taken by a teammate, or (e) wastes time.
Ref should beckon for an indirect free kick.
14.Slow down the speed of the game. Winning 7 International ‘s pace is a bit too fast and as a result, players tend to skate which makes the game looks somewhat unrealistic.
15.The strength of the pass should be correlated with the force we apply on the directional button. The direction of the pass should be correlated with the depressed directional key and where the player is facing. This unfortunately was found wanting in WE7 International. Just a little bit more strength to X button of WE7 would have been perfect.
16.Pre-qualifying rounds should be included in any International competition. Currently the International competition is too short Add more teams to make this a reality
17.During any substitution, the player should be brought to the halfway line with an
official holding an electronic board displaying the number of the player being
substituted on each hand. Applause should be heard for any player being
substituted who has secured a rating score of 8 and above .Boos should be heard
for any star player that has a rating score of 5 and below.
18.Some changes should be made to the Master League. Instead of having the top two teams fighting it out through the Play Off, it would better if the top team of Division Two be given automatic promotion. Teams occupying the 2nd and 3 rd spot of Div 2 should go for the Play Off with the last two teams from Division 1. During the play off, the team topping the group will play in Division 1.
19.Correct hand signals. Whether it is a cut scene or better still if the ref in on the pitch, the referee should be seen giving the correct hand signals for direct free kicks/indirect free kicks etc.
20.A more dynamic Customer Service department who really lives us to its name by acting as center where buyers’ view are exchanged with the developers. We are extremely disappointed as mails are never acknowledged and we tend to wonder whether mails are ever read or treated as trash for recycling. As it is , the situation looks so monologue, certainly it is not conducive to the game’s development , what we want to see an approachable Customer Service Dept where more dialogue can be exchanged. It would be instrumental if the contact number of the person in charge of suggestions/complaints (email addresses, tel phone numbers) are displayed under the game credits commencing with Winning Eleven 8.

), well, we all know how darn infuriating the handball decision is now, what with it only ever occuring to attackers in attacking positions, well, imagine how frustrating it would be for you to get penalised for your GK not releasing the ball within 6sec, or getting penalised because your recently nutmegged defender obstructs the striker? Man, I can see control pads getting thrown through TV screens.
