Playing the same map on a bright day, in heavy fog, or rain will impact what you see and hear, forcing you to adapt your play style on an ever-changing battlefield. With dynamic weather you will need to adapt your tactics to weather changes as the elements play a part in the battle. Through your actions, the pristine world around you change into a battle-scarred landscape, changing the world forever. For even more gameplay possibilities, carve a path through walls and buildings, take down your enemies in creative ways, and leave your mark on the terrain around you through intuitive destruction. Intuitive destruction and dynamic weather ensure that no battle is ever the same. Winning Eleven 8 also features improvements to the popular Master League, which now has more strategy through player development and injury, and a new 'My Best Eleven' option so fans can save their greatest teams. Boasting an enhanced ref AI, the referee will run up and down the field reacting realistically and instinctively to fouls, giving advantage for minor infringements and even stepping in to calm things down when the action gets heated. Also featured is the first-ever on-screen referee in the history of the series. The game introduces a wealth of new moves and tricks including new free kick and penalty kick techniques, an innovative indirect free kick move and a new dribbling system that offers more control as gamers go one-on-one and try to pass opposing players. Featuring 136 club teams and 57 national teams, Winning Eleven 8 offers gamers control of up to 4,500 of the world's greatest soccer players. The game now features all the teams from the Italian, Spanish and Dutch leagues under the official license. Winning Eleven 8 once again raises the bar with in-depth gameplay, improved realism and increased control.
