Although certain things like the graphics are not as good as expected, it is still a extremely good game with great gameplay. Winning Eleven 4 has improved from Winning Eleven 3. The makers actually made the game harder, even at easy level to add more of a challenge. New features have been added to make the game more interesting, and new moves to excute. ------------------ Some Need To Knows ------------------ Ok, there are some need to knows in Winning Eleven 4. Firstly, the power guage. Power guage ----------- The Power Guage, is a guage to show you how powerful your shot on goal or how powerful your cross is. Here's a rough diagram of the Power Guage that is shown at the bottom of the game screen. Power Guage | | V |--------------------------------| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| |________________________________| | | | | 10 | Blah Blah Blah | <--- Player's Name |--------------------------------| ^ | Player's Number Then the Player's Number. Player's Number --------------- The Player's Number is of course, the player's number. If I'm not wrong, all the numbers and players names are the same as in real life. Player's Name ------------- The Player's Name is...... yes you've guessed it, the player's name of course. And yes, if I'm not wrong, all the numbers and players names are the same as in real life. --------------------------- More Advanced Need To Knows --------------------------- There are also More Advanced Need To Knows. When you get to the match, you can set the strategy, formation etc etc. The menu is in English, so there's no need to worry about finding the wrong thing. Strategy -------- You can set the Strategy in the menu, choosing either Professional or Normal. After that, if you are using Profession, you can choose what tactics you want to use as quick strategies. Remember that you can only choose 4. Player Change ------------- You can change players before the match or substitute them during the match by going here. Formation --------- You can change your teams formation by going here. There are many formations to choose from, so choose one which you can cope with or you think suites you. ----------- How To Play ----------- To play Winning Eleven 4, is really simple. All you have to do, is to know the controls, have a little skill and you're off. Here are the controls: X: Pass, Normal Tackle Circle: Long ball, Cross, Sliding Tackle Square: Shoot, Clear The Ball Triangle: Through ball L1: Change player L2: Use with X, Circle, Square and Triangle for quick set of strategies( using professional mode ) R1: Run R2: Use with Square and Circle for quick set of how offensive or defensive you want to be( using professional mode ) D-pad: Move player ( Analog Controller recommended ) Basic Skills ------------ Now for some basic skills training. As far as I know, there are quite afew skills that you can do. Also, Winning Eleven 4 is something like Virtual Striker 2. Skill No.1 : Sharp Turns ------------------------ By quickly moving the D-pad in any other direction than the direction you're standing or running more like, you can make a sharp turn to dribble past your opponent or turn around to stop them from tackling you. For example, you are running towards the east, and your opponent is heading to you from the west( see diagram 1 below ). By making a sharp turn to the south, you can avoid your opponent( see diagram 2 further down ). Diagram 1 Out Line | | V --------------------------------------------------------------------- O <--- you O <--- opponent | | ------- ----> <---- ------- | | / \ / \ | | | | Diagram 2 Out Line | | V --------------------------------------------------------------------- O <--- you O <--- opponent | | ------- <--- ------- | | / \ / \ | | | | \ \ \ \/ \/ O <--- you | ------- | / \ | | This is just a very rough idea of what it's supposed to look like. So don't blame me if you don't understand. If I have a HTML version, it would be better. Skill No.2 : Fake ----------------- To fake somebody, you need to have accurate timing, and press R1 just when the ball is about to reach you to intentionally loose the ball. Try doing this in your opponent's penalty box, it can be useful if you have a player to pass to the dummy player and another player behind to take the ball. Pass the ball and do the fake and the ball lands in front of your unmarked player. Just make sure the keeper doesn't get the ball though. Skill No.3 : Cheap Goal ----------------------- I've tried this skill on the computer, but it doesn't work as well as it works on another human player. This is just like virtual striker 2, all you have to do is to be outside the penalty box not too far out, and press your shoot button to charge your power guage until half a bar, and release. It's a fifty-fifty chance on the computer, and i think about a seventy percent chance against a human player. Skill No.4 : Stop & Run ----------------------- This skill is also something like the skill in virtual striker 2. Run at the opponent, and stop near him. When he tries to to tackle you, press the run button to go pass him. I can't assure you that this skill is very good as you still can get tackled. Timming is also crucial when using this skill. Skill No.5 : Legs Circling Around The Ball ------------------------------------------ I find that this is a really useless skill and I think that it's purely for show or to use when you versus a lousy opponent etc etc. To do this skill, rapidly press L1 and your player will start circling his legs around the ball. Nice to look at, but useless. Never and I repeat NEVER use this skill if have diffculty getting the ball back. So far, that's all I know. If anybody knows anything else, please feel free to mail it to me and tell me about it. I'll give you credit for it. ---------- More Stuff ---------- Ok, here's some other stuff I know or is stated somewhere that you can do. Scissors Kick ------------- Do a scissors kick, cross a low ball into the penalty box and press the kick button when you control your player in the penalty box and he will automatically do a scissors kick. Another way to do a scissors kick is to get a rebound from the keeper or player and press kick. Headers ------- There are afew types of headers that you can do. A passing or short header, a clearing or long header, and lastly, shooting or powerful header. To do a passing or short header, press X when the ball is in the air. To do a clearing ot long header, press circle when the ball is in the air. And lastly, to do a shooting or powerful header to score a goal, press square. Also, if a ball is crossed in low, your player may do a diving header instead of a scissors kick. ------ Cheats ------ I don't know whether the following works or not, but what the heck. Anyway, thanks to Gamesages and Jack Stealer for this stuff. To Unlock World And European Classic AllStar -------------------------------------------- Go to the Master League, choose any team, set the difficulty to Normal and 10 minutes of play. Now play and make sure that you stay on top of the league table after the 14th match( it doesn't matter whether you lose or draw any games ) just make sure you finish the league at the top of the league table. After the credits, the memory card will autosave the game on the memory card screen to confirm that the classic allstar is available at the exhibiton mode. To Unlock Secret World And European AllStar ------------------------------------------- Go to the International Cup, set the difficulty level to Normal and 10 minutes of play. Keep playing until you win the cup. After winning the cup and the credits are shown, the memory card will autosave the game on the memory card screen to confirm that two new teams have been unlocked. Check it out at the exhibition mode. ------- Credits ------- To Konami for making such a great game. To GameFAQs and CJayC for accepting my FAQs. To GameSages and Jack Stealer for the secret teams.
