Well to start, Yes it does.
PES is a game franchise that has sold millions all over the world and this year is no different.
People always find a way to hate on it, e.g. "you can only run in 8 directions". Who cares, as long as its fun.
It is sad to say that FIFA has overcome expectations to many people and that it is more realistic than PRO EVO but in my opinion FIFA is too realistic, perhaps taking the fun out of the game?
I have bought every PES onwawds from the ps1, so i do know what im talking about.
PES has introduced the Become A Legend (BAL) to the series over here in Europe but it was introduced a few years ago in the Japanese version of the game so PRO did not copy FIFAS "Be A Pro" mode. Overall BAL is really a gimmick after your first few seasons and they could have made it something special by introducing the old training modes from the EARLIER games, but this mode is more realistic than FIFAS "Be A Pro" e.g. calling for the ball doesn't always get you the ball in PES but in FIFA you get the Ball 100% of the time.
Masterleague is the same as ever which is unwnated and wanted.
PES has a lot of cup and leagues. I think there is 17 in total. The online may not stand up to FIFAS but legend mode is extremely fun. Everybody works as a team and you get a feeling of relief if you get a goal after ling together 20-30 passes.
Overall PES should keep you going for a year and is a great multiplayer game for you and your mates to play, but expect many arguments because this game is frusrating when you hit the bar from 30 yards out. It a great game and is a solid edition to the LEGENDARY franchise. Thank for reading my first ever review.
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."
