FIFA 08 producer Joe Booth has told GamesIndustry.biz that he relishes the challenge of facing off against Pro Evolution Soccer in a market which is able to support more football titles than ever.
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

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."
Enough with the marketing talk.
Easy solution is for fifa to actually implement good gameplay. They have great graphics, great atmosphere, great music, but have always stuffed up on the gameplay. How hard can it be - they could copy pes style gameplay and instantly have a classic on their hands. One thing pes has always lacked is visual style which fifa has in bucketloads
This title may confuse a lot of Americans, such as myself. I'm not sure why they named American football: football. Two different sports with the same name is strange.
most of EA sports games are lacking from football to basketball to even soccer (futbol). They all seem to be playing catchup. From 2k football still better than madden 07, from 2k7 basketball better than live and even Pro evolution soccer still better than fifa..
so when ea refers to evolution i doubt they are referring to themselves
