i'm not sure about an appropriate place for this thread. i've been reading up on the latest soccer title from 989 sports and all the reviews i've found range from favorable to enthusiastic. but i haven't seen anything here at sg.com about it. is anyone out there playing this game? opinions?

There is a WTS specific board on this site. It is called This Is Football in Europe.

Hmmm... I've lived in Phoenix, L.A., Las Vegas, Salt Lake City, and Fargo... those are all in the United States if I remember my geography classes... I've never heard anyone say that:P

>>>well i dont know about WTS '03 but i bought WTS'02 when it came out and i must say it was the same as if i took my lighter and set flames to those $40 i spent on the garbage... they say '03 has more features but the gameplay hasn't been tweeked enough for it to be considered a contender to the other titles (we/pes/fifa)

I'm purchasing this game in a few days and when I get some play in, I'll let you guys know about it. It has a lot of promise, as a certain JRod said, in leagues/features department but the gameplay of WE makes for a right bobbly dazzler this.

Uh oh. The Lakers are losing again.

Gotta run.

I now have this pot of gold. There's so much out there I don't even know where to begin.

Played a few exhibition games today, 10 Minute Half, Pro Level. Beat St. Mirren 2-0 w/PSG & lost 5-1 to Classic Milan w/50s Real Madrid. Righteous game so far. The only annoyances:

The menus are a little hard to read but bearable. This becomes problamatic when doing the Transfer Search. There are 32 Attributes to sort through and it became a bit dodgy at times to figure out which # represented what stat. I got the hang of it though by writing it out on paper.
It really is like championship manager light isn't it? Of course experts should have no problem w/the system, but since I'm used to FIFA, its a new experience.

Load times are bearable. I read this was a problem but I don't see it.

What can I say? I'd best get on it some more when I get time.

And like Brady Bunch its like perfect.

Righteous Man.
