FIFA 09 vs. PES 09 - Detailed Comparison with Images

Gameplayer has done an extensive feature looking at this year's battle between the two giants of socce gaming. It examines what each series has been doing right, what they have been doing wrong, and goes through what has been announced and is expected for this year's release in order to come out with a likely leader.

"The best possible outcome for any game is to be a critical darling, and a financial success. However, neither FIFA nor PES has been able to lay claim to succeeding in both these facets over the course of this decade."

Biased to who? I read the whole article and didn't get an impression that it was biased at all.

ki03655771d ago

i felt he was biased towards pes but he still was fair to both

Mr_Showtime15771d ago

PES will always win, even the last PES which weak still beat FIFA, sorry EA but licensing and fancy graphics are not gona hide your awful game play!

Harry1905771d ago (Edited 5771d ago )

Fifa as marginally better and showed an enormous progression curve.
Fifa makes me think of an evolved Pro Evo for next gen consoles.

People need to stop talking out of their ass.

I own every PES in existence even the Winning Elevens and used to be a PES fanboy until last year.

Pes2008 got pawned by fifa 08 in every way, i didnt want to believe it at first but i had to except it in the end. I traded in pes08 after a day and bought a fifa game for the first time ever and i dont regret it. Its do or die for konami this time round because fifa has caught up and surpassed pes.

SlappingOysters5771d ago

I think FIFA 08 was a great improvement, but the gameplay in PES is much more fluid and realistic. FIFA just lags.

This year however...

Strife Lives5771d ago

Every single time my 360 gets used,fifa08 gets played before everything.with that said. .Fifa09. AAA for me. Pes has let me down last year.and Fifa09 looks set to beat it again.stupid to compare it now though.

tapoutnhb5771d ago

pes used to be thought of as the realistic football sim but thats all been turned on its head , after playing the next gen fifa's you realise how arcadey pes is and has always been

newneto5771d ago

I will get both. I hope this time I will not regret like on PES2008.

Is Anybody Out There?

GamingLives mourns the decline of socialising in online games and explores why.

" If an individual wants to include a social side to their gaming, they must now do so in dedicated communities, gaming clans and guilds, or by restricting themselves to their own friendship groups. No longer can it be found in our everyday experiences of the games we play online."

The reason why no one chats in-game anymore is because of three types of people:
1) The assholes that take the game too seriously and insult anyone that's better or worse than them,
2) The trolls that do nothing but teamkill or play loud, obnoxious music through the mic, and
3) The prepubescent snot-nosed children that are a mix of everything above.

If gamers actually had respect for one another and did their best to keep a clean competitive online environment, then maybe more people would be willing to plug their mics in. The odds of that ever happening, though? Slim. Very slim. It's a fact that being an anonymous entity online gives people a scapegoat to be immature; it gives them a mask to hide behind, and it's common for gamers to abuse that anonymity. Half of the stuff gamers say to each other while playing a game, they would never say face-to-face. Try going up to a random person at a gas station or shopping mall and call them a "d***-sucking f***** n*****" or talk about their mother. Odds are they'd deck you in an instant. But online? There's nothing they can do. It's essentially a Get Out Of Jail Free card.

It's a sad reality, but that's just the way it is -- and as much as we want it to change, it probably never will.

Football games: Worth every penny or a total con?

TGC writes: There are those that like to argue whether you are a Fifa gamer or a Pro Evolution Soccer gamer. I’m going to take it one step further and say your either a football gamer or a non football gamer. The fact of the matter is a new game comes out every year with possibly the slightest difference from the previous game and they release it onto the shelves in quantities thinking that they’ve made something new and improved. I really think they should hold a prize for anyone who can spot the difference between FIFA 09 and FIFA10 because I’m really struggling.

I use to buy every sports game I was interested in madden,MLB,nba and wwe along few others and I remember buying playing for few days than thinking why I paid full price for this. Than one year about 4 years ago I said no more and I have never bought another sports game at launch sometimes I do buy me when they $20 on craiglist of sale but that's barely

IMO sports games don't do enough to justify a fully price and that's just my opinion

If 2k can sell nfl 2k5 for $19.99 and make a profit than why are games today with less content are selling for full 60? No wonder why EA ran to nfl and bought the exclusive rights

FIFA
Nfl
Nba
MLB
Wwe
NHL
Etc,

Sports games shuld be every 2 years and in between dlc and more updates and stuff like tournaments

berndogskate4280d ago

If people are willing to buy them then whats the problem? i think its cod or mw123 you should be talking about, the new pes and fifa look good this year.

The Scourge Of Odd Numbered Gamerscore

There's no doubting that Gamerscore has been a phenomenal success for this generation of consoles. Microsoft's scoring system has proven to be an addictive mechanism that has incentivised gamers to keep playing even when a game is completed. So much was its success, that Sony even got into the act with the belated introduction of Trophies.

But if there's one thing we hate more than anything else, it's those odd-numbered achievements that mess up your score. Here's our pick of five of the offenders
