1up: "FIFA 08 was one of the three on-stage demonstrations during the Electronic Arts press conference at Games Convention 2007 this morning, and EA Canada Producer Joe Booth made sure to underscore an important point about this year's version: the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions are both running at 60 frames per second."
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."
if they can step up their game as they are apparently doing with Fifa then consumers shouldn't have to complain as much. (Unless the game contains bugs or something.)
Anyway, great to see they are upping the PS3 version's framerate. It's good to know it'll run better than Madden.
According to 1up a gameplay vid should be up soon too for anyone interested.
Awesome find and news. Stupid EA is finally learning something.
they could get away with it on madden.
But football is the most popular sport in the world no doubt so an inferior version in this sport would of hit hard especially with Pes 7 around the corner aswell
Maybe it's ironic, but I'm a huge fan of international soccer, and I was planning to buy this game, I have FIFA 06 and 07. I like FIFA way better than Madden.
And then the frame rate thing hit me since it is EA. I was thinking I might have to try Winning Eleven. But this is great to hear.
They probably realised they had to make sure their version was good because unlike Madden EA have decent competition in the football/soccer genre.
