Pro Evolution Soccer 3 (known as World Soccer: Winning Eleven 7 in Japan and World Soccer: Winning Eleven 7 International in North America) is a football simulation video game developed and produced by Konami as part of the Pro Evolution Soccer series. Initially released for the PlayStation 2, it is also the first in the series to be released on Microsoft Windows.

While the Japanese version featured Japanese national team coach Zico,[1] the European version cover features the image and signature of iconic Italian referee Pierluigi Collina, who had previously officiated the 2002 FIFA World Cup Final. This was unusual, as football games had come to almost exclusively feature only players and managers on their covers; plus, referees only appear in cutscenes in this game (they would only be integrated to the playing field in the next entry of the series) and Collina didn't feature in the game at all. PES 3 was succeeded by Pro Evolution Soccer 4, which was released in 2004.

New features

Script error: No such module "Unsubst".

  • New graphics engine.
  • Improved gameplay, control, ball physics, animation and AI.
  • New Shop mode, where points can be traded in for hidden items.
  • Master League expanded to four divisions, with tons of new players.
  • Support for 1–4 players (multitap required for 3 or 4 players).

Licenses

The game does not include any full leagues but 64 clubs from various European countries. 6 clubs are fully licensed, which are the five Italian Serie A clubs Milan, Roma, Juventus, Lazio and Parma, as well as Feyenoord from the Dutch Eredivisie. All other clubs have fictional team names, logos and jerseys. Also player names are fictional, but only if the player is part of an unlicensed national team. Noticeable cases are for example Dutch players (e.g. Von Mistelroum instead of Ruud van Nistelrooy) and German players (e.g. Kalm instead of Oliver Kahn).

Like other Winning Eleven video games before, the J.League license was limited in Japan.
