MEGamers: "After playing FIFA 09 for quite awhile it's time now to see what Konami has to offer with PES 2009. For years PES was the series to beat, with FIFA lagging behind in nearly every
department. For 2-3 years now FIFA has improved rapidly offering the first real challenge to PES and Konami. PES 09 promised improved graphics, a load of new options and many new in-game animations. Playing the game for a week now, we failed to notice any of those improvements. The animations are as robotic as it gets in a game, the graphics are extremely weak compared to FIFA 09 and the new gameplay modes are not all that worthwhile. Is PES 09 a complete mess though? Well, that depends on how optimistic you are."
The epic fight between the two soccer giants Pro Evolution Soccer and FIFA has been going on for over 10 years now. Cynamite takes a look at the scores from both games and shows, at which point PES overtook the FIFA series.
PS1/PS2 - PES by far
360/PS3 - FIFA by far
I can't see that changing until the next generation of consoles.
2000 - 2005 -> PES dominated since the PS1 days but then it came PES 2006 it was a major letdown
2006 - NOW -> Fifa started to show its quality on this current gen and it evolved year after year while PES was still way behind.
A shame that games like "This is football" just vanished during the PS2 days
pes2011 is much different from any next gen pes, this is really a huge improvement
Its funny to read or talk to the FIFA fanboy they cant accept the true and hate PES.
If you go to the FIFA forums they talk Bs. About pes and they hate it.
In the Pes forums they respect Fifa and many will be getting the two and we aré confidente that PES11 is better and the kind is back
With the current World Cup coverage all around the world, CoffeewithGames takes a look at the play-time data for some Wii soccer(or football) games.
CwG says about FIFA Soccer 10, "FIFA Soccer 10 was released on October 20, 2009, and the data was collected approximately 252 days after it released."
In another section CwG says, "FIFA Soccer 10 has 7,698 players reporting data."
CwG also shows the data for Mario Strikers Charged, Pro Evolution Soccer 2009, and FIFA Soccer 09 All-Play.
any of the games shown? If so, would you recommend them to others?
I have played Mario Strikers Charged and thought it was a lot of fun, reminded me A LOT of NHL Hitz.
Also, anybody that keeps up with soccer(or football) know if there is a "favored" team to win the World Cup out of the teams that are still in it?
Boomtown writes: "No rivalry in the world of gaming is fiercer than the one between competing football franchises. It almost mirrors the strength of feeling people have for their club. Crossing the divide to support another franchise is a relatively rare occurrence. There are two major derby matches in the football gaming calendar and they feature a bitter enmity which has built up over the last few years. The first is Pro Evolution versus FIFA and the second is Championship Manager versus Football Manager."
that's sad for PES fans! I played both demos of FIFA and PES and I can be certain and say that FIFA09 is better than PES2009 hands down!
Ya the game is very very disappointing.. its like the developers were not even trying on this one.
