Console Monster writes: "Over the last day or so, many of you may have experienced problems when signing into Xbox Live as the console freezes. You may have tried everything including cleaning your cache and may have thought it was to do with Microsoft's maintenance and downtime during the week. Fortunately, it's a little bit simpler than that.
The cause of the console's freezing is the Pro Evolution Soccer 2009 demo, released yesterday. Those of you who downloaded the demo will no doubt have acknowledged the problem of the console freezing whilst it downloaded, and any attempts to sign into Xbox Live after failed. The simple solution to the matter is..."
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
With the current World Cup coverage all around the world, CoffeewithGames takes a look at the play-time data for some Wii soccer(or football) games.
CwG says about FIFA Soccer 10, "FIFA Soccer 10 was released on October 20, 2009, and the data was collected approximately 252 days after it released."
In another section CwG says, "FIFA Soccer 10 has 7,698 players reporting data."
CwG also shows the data for Mario Strikers Charged, Pro Evolution Soccer 2009, and FIFA Soccer 09 All-Play.
any of the games shown? If so, would you recommend them to others?
I have played Mario Strikers Charged and thought it was a lot of fun, reminded me A LOT of NHL Hitz.
Also, anybody that keeps up with soccer(or football) know if there is a "favored" team to win the World Cup out of the teams that are still in it?
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."
PES 2009 is the same as PES 2006, not even worth downloading this!
Fifa 2009 has made such much progress (2008 already) that it is surpassing PES with ease. They just facked up with PES. Yes. Even in gameplay its loosing this year...
Excellent, my flat mate and I played the demo last night and after retiring to my room from a little LBP I could hear all sorts of profanity emanating from his room. He'll be chuffed when I him the problem and better still, the solution.
Guess if we want to play the demo again it will be on my PS3. At least until the problem is addressed.
Good thing I dont like soccer lol
FIFA 09 FTW
I haven't been able to sign into live since monday :(
I haven't tried since yesterday morning. Finally got hooked up with a LBP code. Wow, what a game.
