Lazio In Winning Eleven Pro Evolution Soccer 2007

Pro Evolution Soccer 6 (Winning Eleven 10 in Japan and Winning Eleven: Pro Evolution Soccer 2007 in the USA) was officially released in the UK on October 27, 2006 for the PlayStation 2, PlayStation Portable, Xbox 360 and PC platforms and on February 9, 2007 for the Nintendo DS. The PC version does not utilize the Xbox 360 engine but is a conversion of the PS2 edition. The PSP version is similar in many ways to its PS2 brother, while the DS version has graphics and gameplay reminiscent of the older PES series on the original PlayStation.

A criticism of the previous version was that the game was too unforgiving and so suppressed fluid attacking football. Pro Evolution Soccer 6 was issued with more tricks and an overall more attacking mentality, but whether it does make it easier to take on defenders and get forward is debatable.

More licenses were added, including fully licensed international kits including the nations England, Spain and Italy to name a few (as well as the ever present Japan license). The French Ligue 1 is now included as fully licensed league, as well as the Spanish, Italian and Dutch leagues, plus several other individual clubs. However, the Chelsea FC. license from PES 5 was removed and, due to a lawsuit, Konami were forced to drop the Bundesliga license. The only Bundesliga team to appear in the game is FC Bayern Muenchen. The game had not updated Arsenal's venue to the Emirates stadium; the defunct Highbury is still present. The same applies for Bayern München, who, despite having moved to the Allianz Arena, are still represented in the game as playing at Munich’s Olympic Stadium. Also, the recent extensions to Old Trafford are not included, while Serbia and Montenegro are still present despite the dissolution of the country in May 2006, this being due to the disestablished state competing at the recent World Cup. All teams which competed at the World Cup featured their 23 man squads from the tournament, including those who retired from international football (e.g. Philip Cocu of the Netherlands) and from the game altogether (e.g. Zinedine Zidane of France), although club teams were fairly up to date.

The Xbox 360 version features next-generation, Hi-Definition graphics and more animations, but gameplay similar to the other console versions, according to a recent interview with Seabass. The Xbox 360 version also finally introduces the Pro Evolution series to widescreen gaming, a feature that was sorely missing from the PS2 and Xbox versions of the game. Much of the gameplay and editing options were severely stripped down for the 360 release.

This is the default composition of Lazio’s players in the Winning Eleven Pro Evolution Soccer 2007:

• GK. Angelo Peruzzi

• CB. Sebastiano Siviglia

• CB. Sanchez Cribari

• RB. Massimo Oddo

• LB. Luciano Zauri

• DMF. Gaby Mudingayi

• DMF. Cristian Ledesma

• RMF. Valon Behrami

• LMF. Stefano Mauri

• SS. Tomasso Rocchi

• CF. Stephen Makinwa

Il capitano Massimo Oddo leads the team. I modified the starting lineup of Lazio into like this:

• GK. Angelo Peruzzi

• CB. Sebastiano Siviglia

• CB. Sanchez Cribari

• RB. Massimo Oddo

• LB. Luciano Zauri

• CMF. Gaby Mudingayi

• RMF. Valon Behrami

• LMF. Stefano Mauri

• AMF. Cristian Ledesma

• CF. Tomasso Rocchi

• CF. Goran Pandev

Not really different with the default actually, I only switch the position of Ledesma from Defensive Midfielder to Attacking Midfielder and replace Stephen Makinwa with Goran Pandev.
