Australian website Gameplayer got word this morning from EA that this exciting new FIFA 08 feature will be region specific - Aussies for one will miss out.
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."
Australia miss out on everything PS3s cost $999 and now we have to pay $120 on a game with missing features give australia a break
Pro Evo 6 has 4 vs 4.
Oh wanna be Pro Evo. Stick Fifa and Madden up your bottom ! Why Americans call it Football when they rarely use "Foot"!?
That's disappointing. I wanted to play against some Americans :( Nevermind. I'll make a US account and play it on that :)
I wonder if it is a matter of network speed. Perhaps Europe and the States are the only regions with a consistently high enough network speed to maintain 5 vs. 5 - I know the speed in Australia is a snail's pace compared to other regions.
