It's easy to slag off FIFA, so let's make a start. The perennial complaint is that it's the same game every year with little more than a different number on the box. As such, it's always tempting to give it the same review. However, last year's 360 debut was markedly different from previous years in that there was actually less content, featuring only the Premiership plus a smattering of foreign leagues. Apparently, the developers were too busy honing the next-generation graphics and gameplay to type in the details of the relevant clubs, or indeed cut and paste them from the previous game.
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."
After playing Fifa Demo I knew its lame :P
Too bad Peter Moore did not make a better Fifa LOL.
PRO EVO FTW
FIFA demo is a joke to futball, the only good part is wile playing with Ronaldino on loading screen. other then that is a big lost for EA once again. If you EA cant do it, just rip off PES, is the only chance you got.
The fifa 08 demo sucked so hard.
Pes 2008 looks like it's the champ this time round.
i think i'll stick to UEFA CL on 360 until PES comes out. too bad as this game has updated rosters.
Decent review there, Bit sloppy that part he mentioned bout poor sides gettin to the cup final, shows fifa isnt realistic.
After playing both demos, there no doubt PES2008 is by far the better game. Plays much quicker and its just real football, fifa's far too slow and dull, slide tackling is retarded and passing is poor.
I think the players look more realistic in PES also. Im still gonna get Fifa but probs just to keep my footy gaming happy til PES arrives end of october!
