Konami seems to be one of the few companies using motion controls to make a game potentially more in-depth instead of more casual-friendly. That seems like the right approach for the new Winning Eleven: Pro Evolution Soccer 2008. We can't imagine the Winning Eleven series being anything but complicated, and we wouldn't want to see it transition into a party game or whatever.
GamesRadar took some video of the game in action, which allows us to see what a real gameplay session would look like. Pointing to pass seems like a natural method of control that will also allow for greater precision and quicker moves. Way to make us care about soccer games, Konami!

I'm not really into sports games, but I'm glad to see new third-party games looking a lot less like shit.

Since Winning Eleven is my favourite series of all time,I love this direction they're going. Being able to pass into space, taking players on dummy runs- you could pass into space before, but manual passing was a bit tough. I'm excited to try this out. I hope they get rid of the dribbling thing though- no reason to not just map dribbling to the nunchuck joystick (I think its an option).

I was pumped about Fifa 08, then realized it didn't have a manager mode, so now I'm going to wait on this.
