============
Introduction
============
World Soccer Winning Eleven 6: Final Evolution (WE6 FE) is one of the latest
soccer games to appear on the Gamecube, but it's certainly well worth the wait.
Unfortunately, this great game is only available in Japan, as Sony has the
exclusive PS2 rights to the WE series outside Japan (where it is published
under a different name: Pro Evolution Soccer).
This means that the only way to play this game if you live outside Japan is to
import it (the game is 100% playable on a PAL EU-AUS/NTSC US GC using Datel's
Freeloader), and even then those of us unfamiliar with the Japanese language
may be daunted by the game manual and menu, most of which are in Japanese.
I have thus decided to start writing a guide, especially for those fans
struggling with the language, and who do not own a PS2 and will otherwise not
be able to experience the wonderful phenomenon that is WE. As this guide is
tailored for the GC, I cannot comment on the differences with the PS2 version
simply because I do not have a PS2 and thus have not played the PS2 WE games.
At this point, it is looking unlikely that Konami will bring WE7 to the GC
(but please surprise us, Konami-san), so us GC owners will have to be content
with only WE6 FE for now.
This guide borrows heavily from the game manual, and the official GC WE6 FE guide
book (also published by Konami), as well as some websites, all of which are
credited in the "Acknowledgements" section.

(A) Game Controls
-----------------
Although it is easy for a beginner to WE6 FE (we all are at some point in our
lives) to be intimidated by the seemingly numerous buttons at your disposal to
be able to pull off all the moves successfully, you have to be patient and
remember that even Zidane in real life has to practice, practice, practice to
get all his silky moves right.
So, with this in mind, I have separated the game controls into two major parts:
the basic controls for those just starting to get their boots dirty, and the
advanced controls for those more seasoned players who now want to try a cheeky
body feint or an ambitious scissors kick.
(Note: Seasoned players should also go through the Basic Controls due to some
subtle differences they may have missed before. Also, the fancy names given to
some of the moves, like Super Cancel and Pass & Go are not invented by me; they
are there in the manual in Katakana script)
1. Basic Controls
................

Body feint
+ Press L Button repeatedly when dribbling
Quick feint
+ Press Z Button repeatedly when dribbling
Two-footed feint
+ Some players have the two-footed feint ability (marked by a Star in the
corresponding parameter) and when you press diagonally-forward
repeatedly on the Analogue Stick when dribbling, they will do a two-
footed feint
Stopping the ball
+ Release the Analogue Stick when dribbling and press the R Button to
stop the ball in its tracks
Evading sliding tackles
+ Press the Z Button to jump over the opponent's sliding tackle
Changing your dribbling direction
+ In the middle of your dribble, hold down the Z Button and press the
Analogue Stick 90 degrees to your advancing direction for a nifty
change in dribbling direction
(Passing)
Back heel
+ Press the Analogue Stick in the opposite direction you are facing when
you have the ball together with the A Button to do a back heel pass
One-two return
+ Hold down the L Button and press A Button to pass the ball. Just before
your team-mate receives the ball, press the Y Button to perform a one-
two (or press the X Button to do a flying one-two)
Pass & Go
+ Just after you pass the ball, press the Z Button and the player you are
passing the ball to will run to meet the ball instead of standing there
waiting for it
Fly through pass
+ Press the L Button together with the Y Button to perform a fly through
pass (similar to through pass except the ball is in the air now)
Ally cross
+ Press the L Button together with the X Button to cross (or at least
attempt to cross!) the ball into the opposing team's penalty box no
matter where you are on the field
Getting the most out of your crosses
+ When crossing the ball, try pressing the Z Button. The ball should drop
more kindly for your forwards (Works for both far and near post crosses)
(Direct play)
+ In general, if you press a certain button just before receiving the
ball, you'll do a direct play (i.e. you won't trap and stop the ball
but play it on the fly)
Possible direct plays:
Direct shot (B Button just before receiving the ball)
Direct short pass (A Button just before receiving the ball)
Direct long punt (X Button just before receiving the ball)
Direct through pass (Y Button just before receiving the ball)
In all the above cases, the Analogue Stick determines the path the ball
will take upon playing it
Depending on the player and situation, a direct shot can be a diving
header, volley, or scissors kick
(Shooting)
Shoot feint
+ Press the B Button and while the shooting gauge is still displayed,
press the A Button and you'll perform a shoot feint
(It's easiest to press B + A at about the same time to pull this off)
Lobbing the keeper
+ Hold down the L Button and press the B Button to lift the ball high over
the keeper's head.
+ Press the B Button, and while the shooting gauge is still displayed,
press the R Button to chip the ball past the keeper

(2) Master League
................
In a nutshell, the Master League (ML) is where you choose a club team and guide
it from obscurity in Division 3 to be the champions of Europe in Division 1.
Along the way, you can sign almost every player in the game (except the Classic
hidden team players), offload players you no longer need, change your team
stripes, assign jersey numbers, practice with your team in between matches,
play in the Cup, drool over your player statistics over the season, negotiate
new contracts with your players, and devise clever team formation and strategy
to outsmart your opponents.
Yes, it's really THAT comprehensive and much more. You won't get maximum fun
out of the ML unless you really know what is going on, so here I attempt to
help you build your own dream team and plough your way through pages and pages
of mind boggling text.
10 Things You Should Know About the ML
=====================================
i. You start with the same default set of players no matter which team you
choose
ii. You earn points by winning or drawing matches. Points are used to sign
new players (think transfer fee) and to pay wages
iii. You get more points winning or drawing matches the higher the difficulty
level you choose
iv. Winning cup matches yield more points than the league (the purpose of
the Cup is actually to let you accumulate points, so don't treat the Cup
with disdain)
v. Be careful how you spend your points! Once you run out of points, your
game is over! (So don't rush in and buy the best players straight away)
vi. Wages are paid after every league match, but cup matches are "free" (in
that your players are not paid)
vii. Players generally want to play in a higher division league, so if you
are currently in Division 3, don't expect every player in Division 1 to
rush to join you
viii. It is easiest to sign players when you are playing the ML at the lowest
difficulty level (Easy)
ix. You increase your chance of signing your player if you put in a higher
offer than what is offered (but don't be held ransom!)
x. Check your players' condition before every match as it has significance
on their performance (see the section on "Player Condition"
First, let's take a look at the Master League Main Menu:

How to Sign a Player
--------------------
Basically, you have too scout for the player you want to sign ("Request
for Player") and make an approach to the club. The terms (length of
contract (between 1 to 5 years), player salary, and transfer fee) can
then be viewed ("Transfer Player <IN>"). You can make any adjustments to
the length of contract, the salary, and the fee too.
It takes one league match for your offer to be considered, and after the
next match, you can come back to the "Transfer Screen" to see if your bid
has been successful ("Successful Transfer <IN>")
If your bid has been rejected outright (maybe the player is not for sale)
you'll see your bid end up in "Breakdown in talks"
If your bid is deemed too low, a revised offer will be put to you again,
("Transfer Player <IN>") and you have all the time before playing your
next match to decide how you wish to proceed.
The process is the same for signing a player on loan. The main difference
is when you approach the club, you are sometimes given 2 options, and
sometimes 3. For the 2 options, you can only choose a permanent deal (first
option). If you are given 3 options, you can choose to sign the player
permanently (first choice) or sign him on loan (second choice). Loan deals
are good for one season only and the transfer fee is only a fraction that
of a permanent move.
How to Release a Player
-----------------------
It's easier to get rid of a player than to sign one! Just choose "Release
Player", highlight the player from your team rooster, and he'll be axed
from your squad. You'll have to pay a penalty though for terminating his
contract.
Generally, the longer the contract remaining, the more you have to pay.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(3) Formation Set Up
...................
Just before kick-off, you can choose to tinker with your line-up, alter your
team formation and stratehy etc. One of the main things you should do is to
look at your players' condition, as it has quite a big influence over their
stats (the next section has more details on this)
Formation Set Up
Exit
Member Change
Formation
Attack/Defense Mind
Strategy
Kicker & Captain Select
Formation Copy
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(C) Team Data
-------------
Let's take a closer look at all those delicious stats Konami has thrown into
the game for those who love number crunching ala CM (Championship Manager),
shall we?
1. Player Parameters
...................
You can view your player's parameters during the Formation Set Up stage, when
you choose "Member Change". There's a ton of options, and you can use the -->
and <-- on the Direction Pad to switch between 2 pages of stats. Here's a
run-down on what those numbers and stars correspond to:
Main Page Second Page
========= ===========
Position 1 XX Dribbler
2 XX Post Player
3 XX Positioning
Height (GK) Rush Out
Foot (L,R,or 2-footed) Striker
Offense Leadership
Defense Passer
Body Balance Two-footed Feint
Stamina PK Kicker
Speed 1-on-1 Shoot
Acceleration Long Throw
Response Direct Play
Dribble Accuracy Outside [Playing on the flanks]
Dribble Speed Man Mark
Short Pass Accuracy DF Line Leadership
Short Pass Speed (GK) Feet Kick
Long Pass Accuracy PK Keeper
Long Pass Speed 1-on-1 Keeper
Shoot Accuracy Injury Prone
Shoot Power ["A" being least prone and
Shoot Technique "C" most injury prone]
Heading Accuracy
Jump Power
Technique
Curve
Attack Tendency
Mentality
Stability
Free Kick Accuracy
Cohesiveness
i) Obviously, the higher the numbers, the better the player is in that area.
ii) A Star next to a particular stat (Second Page only) indicates the player is
especially skilled in that area
Most of the stats are pretty much self-explanatory, but there is one particular
stat I would like to highlight, and that is the last item on the main page,
"Cohesiveness".
Now, this stat is VERY important especially when you are attempting the ML. It's
akin to how well the player is settling into your team. So, just after signing a
player, his "Cohesiveness" stat would usually be 30+, but it would improve with
every match he plays in (including pre-season friendlies, so don't skip those!)
If there's another player in your team with the same nationality as your new
player, they both get a 5% boost in the "Cohesiveness" stat when you play them
together. Neat, eh? So the next time you sign a major star, don't just throw
him into the thick of action and expect him to dazzle right away. Give him time
(just as in real life) to gel in together with the rest of his team mates. Nice
touch, Konami!
Although the exact numbers are unknown, I do know that a player with low
"Cohesiveness" does not perform to what his other stats claim to be. So he may
have 95 for "Shoot Technique" but that will not be his real stat in the game if
you are playing him for the first time and his "Cohesiveness" is 36.
2. Player Condition
..................
Don't under-estimate the importance of the players' condition before a match,
as it has tremendous influence over his parameters! (You can check your players'
condition by pressing the L or R Button at the Formation Setup screen just
before kick-off.)
There are a total of 9 different types of condition, as follows:
Best condition Red arrow (pointing upwards)
Good condition Orange arrow (diagonally upwards)
Normal condition Green arrow (pointing side way)
Poor condition Blue arrow (diagonally downwards)
Worst condition Grey arrow (pointing downwards)
Carrying light injury Boxed yellow cross
Carrying serious injury Boxed red cross
Just recovered from light injury Boxed grey arrow with yellow border
Just recovered from serious injury Boxed grey arrow with red border
What the condition modifies is the player's stats. The list below shows you the
extent each individual stat is affected by the player's condition (modifiers
are in terms of percentages, so +9 means a 9% increase in that stat, while -6
means a 6% drop in that stat)
(Light) (Light) (Sers)
Parameter | Best| Good | Poor | Worst| Injury | OK | OK |
-----------------------------------------------------------------------|
Offense | +12 | +6.4 | -8 | -16 | -32 | -6.4 | -12 |
Defense | +12 | +6.4 | -8 | -16 | -32 | -6.4 | -12 |
Body Balance | +12 | +6 | -12 | -18 | -18 | -6 | -12 |
Stamina | +12 | +6 | -6 | -12 | -24 | -6 | -12 |
Speed | +9 | +4.8 | -6 | -12 | -24 | -4.8 | -9 |
Acceleration | +12 | +6 | -9 | -18 | -24 | -6 | -12 |
Response | +12 | +6 | -9 | -18 | -24 | -6 | -12 |
Dribble Accuracy | +9 | +4.8 | -4.8 | -9 | -24 | -4.8 | -9 |
Dribble Speed | +9 | +4.8 | -6 | -12 | -24 | -4.8 | -9 |
Short Pass Accuracy | +9 | +4.8 | -4.8 | -9 | -18 | -4.8 | -9 |
Short Pass Speed | +6 | +3 | -3 | -6 | -18 | -3 | -6 |
Long Pass Accuracy | +9 | +4.8 | -4.8 | -9 | -18 | -4.8 | -9 |
Long Pass Speed | +6 | +3 | -3 | -6 | -18 | -3 | -6 |
Shoot Accuracy | +9 | +4.8 | -4.8 | -9 | -18 | -4.8 | -9 |

Jump Power | +12 | +4.8 | -6 | -12 | -24 | -6 | -12 |
Technique | +9 | +4.8 | -6 | -12 | -18 | -4.8 | -9 |
Curve | +9 | +4.8 | -6 | -12 | -18 | -4.8 | -9 |
Attack Tendency | +9 | +4.8 | -6 | -12 | -30 | -4.8 | -9 |
Mentality | +12 | +6 | -9 | -18 | -30 | -6 | -12 |
Free Kick Accuracy | +9 | +4.8 | -6 | -12 | -18 | -4.8 | -9 |
Notes:
i. A player with Normal condition shows no midification to his Parameters
ii. (Light) Injury means the player is carrying a light injury
(Light) OK means the player has just recovered from a light injury
(Sers) OK means a player has just recovered from a serious injury
iii. A player cannot be played if he is currently carrying a serious injury
3. Attributes to Look For
........................
We all know when that for a CF, his Shoot Teachnique is more important than
his Long Pass Accuracy (generally speaking), but what else should you look for
exactly? Konami has listed the attributes that are important for the players in
each position, as reproduced below:
(I) Forward (CF, WG)
====================
+ Dribble Accuracy Notes: The most important thing for a
+ Dribble Speed forward is his ability to score
+ Shoot Technique goals. As such, you should look
+ Shoot Power for a player with high shooting
+ Heading Accuracy stats. Also, it would be an
+ Attack Tendency advantage if your forward can
+ Dribbler jump and head well.
+ Post Player Startlooking from those players
+ Positioning with expertise in Striker and
+ Striker Dribbler (marked with a Star)
(II) Midfielder (OH, CH, SH, DH)
================================
+ Stamina Notes: A midfielder is the link between
+ Short Pass Accuracy attack and defence, and as he is
+ Short Pass Speed usually the one who works the most
+ Long Pass Accuracy on the field, high Stamina rating
+ Long Pass Speed is desired.
+ Technique He should also be good at passing
+ Leadership the ball around.
+ Passer Start hunting those players with
+ Outside expertise in Passer and Leadership
(III) Defender (SB, LIB, SW, CB)
================================
+ Height Notes: The important things for a
+ Body Balance defender are physical strength
+ Stamina and height.
+ Response For an attacking SB, his speed
+ Dribble Speed and passing ability are also
+ Long Pass Accuracy important.
+ Jump Power
+ Man Mark
+ DF Line Leadership
(IV) Goalkeeper (GK)
===================
+ Height Notes: The most important parameters for
+ Defense a GK are Body Balance, Response,
+ Body Balance and Jump Power.
+ Response Of course, if he has expertise in
+ Long Pass Accuracy 1-on-1 Keeper, and PK Keeper, so
+ Jump Power much the better!
+ (GK) Feet Kick The GK's ability to rush out of
+ 1-on-1 Keeper goal is closely related to his
+ PK Keeper attacking stats, so if you desire
+ Shoot Power such a GK, go for one with higher
attacking stats.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(D) Best Teams
--------------
In Konami's official WE6 FE guide, each of the teams (and players; see next
section) in the game are scored (out of 100) in various departments such as
best attacking/ defending teams, best GK/CB/DH/OH/FW etc., and so on.
These numbers are provided by Konami, and in the case of the teams, the actual
calculation is simply based on the average of all the relevant parameters of the
selected players in the team (e.g. in the case of the Best Attacking Teams, the
score takes into account the attacking attributes (offense, shooting strength
etc.) of the forwards and midfielders in the first starting eleven.)
Without further ado, here's the Oscar list of who's who in Konami's WE6 world:
Notes: i) Score indicated in parenthesis after team name
ii) Teams ranked 1 are the best in that department

Hmmm... obviously very different from the latest FIFA world rankings!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(E) Best Players
----------------
Similar to the previous section, each player is the game is scored (different
from those actual player stats used in the game) and ranked individually by
Konami.
The full list is too comprehensive to be reproduced here (EVERY single player
is scored and ranked) but here is a shortlist of the best players in the major
departments:
(Note: While compiling this list, I realize that Konami has ranked all available
players (including hidden and non-ML), and that most of the best players cannot
be signed anyway since they are not available in the ML (Pele, Maradona, etc.)
So I will most likely compile a different table in future to include only the
ML players so you get a better idea which players Konami has deemed to be the
"best" and are poachable in the ML)
Players are listed with their names first, followed by their team, and finally
their score as calculated by Konami
Best CF (Centre Forward)
.......................
1. Pele Classic Brazil (93.6)
2. Oranges080 Classic Netherlands (93.0)
2. Eusebio Hidden (93.0)
4. Vieri Italy (92.8)
5. Maradona Classic Argentina (91.9)
6. Batistuta Argentina (91.3)
7. Crespo Argentina (90.6)
8. Henry France (90.2)

(F) Bugs
--------
There is a very serious bug that has been reported preventing the full
unlocking of the ML hidden players when you have won the ML Division 1 title.
Apparently, gamers who have unlocked the hidden players in the Traning Mode
prior to unlocking the ML hidden players will not get all the ML players! This
appears to be a problem with the game itself, so to prevent this, play through
the ML first to unlock all the hidden players before attempting the Training
Mode challenges. (See the "Secrets" section of this guide for an easy way to
unlock all the hidden ML players).
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(G) Secrets
-----------
(1) Easiest way to unlock all hidden ML players
Each time your club team wins the ML Division 1 title, you unlock a set of
hidden players (which you can then sign for yourself)! There are a total of 42
hidden players, but only 14 (randomly out of the 42) gets unlocked each time
you win the ML Division 1.
This means you have to win the ML Div 1 title 3 times to unlock all the 42
players, but there is actually an easier way to do that. Just before you win
the league, save your game, then play the subsequent game that gets you
confirmed as champions (Thus, you must know exactly when you get confirmation
that you have an unassilable lead at the top of the table. For example, if you
have 3 games left to play, and you lead the next team by 9 points, you'll know
that if you win the next game, you'll get crowned champions, or if the second
placed team lose, and you draw, etc. Yes, soccer gets quite mathematical!)
Anyway, when you're crowned champions, you'll see a message saying that there
are new players available in the ML rooster (under the "Teams outside the ML")
and your option file will be automatically saved.
Now, DON'T save your game, but instead, exit to the main menu and reload your
last saved ML game file just before the game you just played. Play the same game
again, and if you get the right result, you'll get crowned as champions again,
and the same message appears indicating that new players are available.
This second set of new players actually differ from the first set, so just
repeat this process a third time and you'll have all the hidden players
unlocked with minimal fuss.
Here's a complete list of the 42 hidden ML players:

(2) Get the best for less!
This trick lets you net any player you wish for a ridiculously low amount of
points, particularly useful at the start of the ML when you're stuck with the
default list of players in Division 3.
What you have to do is simply edit all your target player's stats to 1, then
go and sign him for your team. After you sign the player, simply restore his
stats back to his original numbers.
(3) Hidden teams
Besides the usual 56 national and club teams, there are 9 other hidden teams in
the game. Here are the hidden teams as well as the method to unlock them in the
game.
i. Euro All Stars Win International Cup with any team
ii. World All Stars Win International League with any team (Full or
half seasons are both fine)
iii. Classic England Win European Cup with England
iv. Classic France Win European Cup with France
v. Classic Italy Win European Cup with Italy
vi. Classic Netherlands Win European Cup with Netherlands
vii. Classic Germany Win European Cup with Germany
viii. Classic Brazil Win Americas Cup with Brazil
ix. Classic Argentina Win Americas Cup with Argentina
(4) Unlock Calling Names for your ML teams
The easiest way to do this so that the commentator don't say "Europort" but
"Liverpool" instead is to win the Konami Cup with any club team. Play on the
lowest level with only three teams, and after clinching the Konami Cup, you
will unlock the Calling Names under the ????? when you go to edit the club
teams.
Unfortunately, Konami has only included the names of cities (due to licensing
issues) so while you get the major European cities, you have to make do with
alternate names for teams without a city name like Arsenal (rename as "London")
(5) Goal celebrations!
Some of the players in the game have their own style of celebrating a goal, just
like in real life.
Here's the list of the players who have their special celebrations.
Riquelme Barcelona
Robbie Keane Ireland
Beckham England
Raul Spain
Morientes Spain
Pires France
Wilmots Belgium
Vieri Italy
Del Piero Italy
Ballack Germany
Klose Germany
Tomassen Denmark
Mboma Cameroon
All Senegal players Senegal (All Senegal players in you team dances)
Batistuta Argentina
Ronaldo Brazil
Chilavert Paraguay
Choi Yong-Soo Korea
Inamoto Japan
Moriyama Japan
Nakayama Japan
Suzuki Japan
Nakata Japan
Takahara Japan Reserve
Nakamura Japan Reserve

Here're some of my favourite WE6 related links
1.
http://www.alphalink.com.au/~warrior/ISSNews.htm
Well, this is primarily an ISS (International Superstar Soccer, another Konami
produced footy game) site, but it has a very nice history of the entire WE/PES/
ISS series, and many reviews of the various games, from the early SNES days to
the latest GC/PS2 incarnations. (English)
2.
http://members.jcom.home.ne.jp/zapanet/WE/WE7/we6fe.html
A whole lot of useful WE6 FE information, from the mystery behind Nakata's and
Ono's dual naming in the game, to bugs like the non-apperance of the ML hidden
players even when you have won the ML Division 1 title. (Japanese)
3.
http://www.importinvasion.co.uk/archive/we6fe_guide.htm
Wonderful site with all the translations for the game menu screens. Definitely
worth a visit! (English)
4.
http://we6fe.no.sapo.pt/
Has a downloadable Option File with the edited names of players and teams in
the game plus additional club teams and transfers! I do not have the means to
link my memory card to my PC, so I have not tried the file, but I do wish I can
though! (English)
5.
http://www5f.biglobe.ne.jp/~wwe/we7/we6fe.html
If you want to try your hand at editing extra players for the game, this is the
site you need. Extra players include Wayne Rooney, Cristiano Lupatelli,
Philippe Mexes, Fernando Torres, Bernardo Corradi, Antonio Filippini, plus many
more! All parameters and edit information are given. (Japanese)

Thank you for reading this FAQ.
As you can see, this is a very rough first version, and I am eagerly awaiting
comments, suggestions, corrections, or anything else you can think of that
should be included/ excluded in future updates. (Feel free to email or post on
