What the hell happened to FIFA? Once an appalling arcade kickabout not fit to lace Pro Evolution Soccer's unlicensed boots, FIFA '08 is - whisper it - pretty good.
Online is perhaps the biggest win, with numerous options, stylish presentation and, er godawful menus. Oh and the whole signing-into-EA-before-you-start thing is an annoyance too. But get over that and you have leagues etc that kick Pro Evo's clumsy online efforts into touch.
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.
Fifa 10 was good, but have you seen Fifa 11? NOt that much of a step up from 10. Pro Evo 2010 was not that good, but so far, what I've seen of Pro Evo 2011 blows anything and everything Fifa out of the water.
Pro Evo is back to reclaim the number 1 spot.
just because pes has improved alot over pes 10 dont mean much, its still the same robotic game it has been for a while. and if you have played fifa 10 then moved to 11 its improved on a lot on what was already a great game.
agreed, pes11 is an improvement on last yr but it still lags way behind fifa at this point.. all the same issues that make it bad are still their
pes was good till 2011
it's a fail - they tried to change the gameplay for good but they ruined it
It's a shame that people such as yourself are still stuck in the dark days, clinging onto the hope that PES will be what it once was.
I was a huge fan of PES back in the day - as big as you could get, really - and I still believe that PES 5 and 6 are the best football games of all time. But I played the PES 2011 demo and deleted it after two games, because it's just horrible. Passing is decent, but that's about it; the player movement still borders on robotic, shooting is way too floaty and the presentation is mediocre.
If you really believe that the 'King' is back, then you must have a very short memory. PES this generation has absolutely nothing on the old games, nor does it have anything on FIFA this gen either; its rival is superior in almost every way.
It's actually a step down, they ruined the Fifa 10 formula and this is coming from a Fifa player. Am not a PES fan so i really don't know if the new one is good or not. My angle is the fact that EA messed up Fifa 11, i have spoken to many diehard fifa fans that feel the same way. Some are considering to just stick with 10 and see what 12 is like.
FIFA 11 is superior to FIFA 10 in practically every way, without a doubt. I find it laughable that anyone could think any different.
FIFA 10 was a great game, but it had way too many flaws. FIFA 11 is a much more refined experience, and is all the better for it.
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
CVG: Publisher splashes the big bucks to win FIFA endorsement from England striker
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."
uk aint got no fifa love. no fifa love at all. Pro Evo is the better game but wat a way to bash fifa.
Fifa 08 fails to deliver its actully worse than the champions league attempt 6 months ago its Pro evo all the way and the players in fifa look like waxwork dummies nothin like there real life counterparts but what do you expect from EA they think they can get away with selling games on the strength that they have offical this and offical that and then they deliver absolute bollox gameplay you wont ever be gettin my money EA
ur jst being biased. Pro evo bests fifa on gameplay and gameplay only. Fifa beats pro evo in all other aspects but pro evo gameplay is so strong that its enough to overlook fifa's efforts. Pro evo better start making some major improvements better sign more clubs i dnt wanna play with "man red" anymore. Pro evo is the better game but fifa is catching up and they WILL if pro evo dosent get on their game
