The KCE TYO-developed soccer sim features an overhauled graphics engine with more than 20 detailed stadiums and some of the best and most realistic player animations ever seen in a soccer game. Konami has been busy, adding a new rewards system that lets players trade points for new teams, stadiums, and textures for the player editor, better ball control during offensive plays, a training mode that actually affects the player stats, better AI, improved ball physics, more animations, player bruising (players sport bandages on the injured body parts), and use of the advantage rule for fouls. Instead of interrupting the play flow for every little foul, referees now let the game continue if the fouled team doesn't lose the ball. Based on Winning Eleven 6.

A new dribbling system is also available giving more control as players go one-on-one and try to pass opposing players, while crosses and cut-back passes can now be made with more precision. In keeping with this level of detail, player likenesses are also enhanced to match the noticeable individuality of the world's greatest stars. Both international and club players are instantly recognisable due to almost photo-realistic graphics, while additional realism is added via kits that get progressively dirtier as the match progresses. Pro Evolution Soccer 4 will also boast an on-screen referee for the first time. Whereas previous versions have featured an un-seen referee, Konami TYO's game now features an official who runs up and down monitoring play - and even steps in to calm things down when the action gets heated! The referee AI has also been further refined, with advantage being played for minor infringements, while each of the referees available will react instinctively to fouls and the flow of play depending on how strict they are deemed to be.
