PlayTM writes: "The biggest plus point offered up by FIFA 08 is its mixture of genuinely unpredictable gameplay and its seriously challenging A.I. difficulty. While Xbox Live fans can take to the virtual pitch with up to eight online friends, and home-based contests and co-op opportunities can also be enjoyed, FIFA's merciless single-player A.I. opposition seldom bends over the physio's table to placate the needs of a half decent player."
"To be frank, any lapse of concentration by the player is punished with uncompromising professional efficiency, and battles in the middle of the park (as in the real game) often make or break progression. It's also worth noting that individual team playing styles also seem to have been incorporated into FIFA 08, with the likes of Manchester United and Chelsea playing open and attacking football, while the likes of Blackburn press relentlessly and are aggressive when chasing the ball, and lesser teams try to dig in behind the ball and catch the player on the break."
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."
