Murphy: "Automatic assumption" now that FIFA is better than PES, are copycats

Jon Murphy, Konami's European team leader for PES, has said that while there was a "period of dissatisfaction" with PES for good reason, now it's because EA marketing has 'duped us'.

The PES franchise hasn't been "given proper respect" for returning to quality, said Murphy, because "so many have bought" into EA's PR. Also EA 'copy' the PES formula.

PES 11 and 12 are way better than Fifa 11 and 12

That is not true. when PES was clearly better in the PS2 era they were recognized for it by both fans and critics

FIFA has been better this gen and PES is playing catch up.

I've bin playin' PES on PS2 n PS3 and The funniest thing is that i stopped playing Fifa games on PS1 n never played even one on PS2. I got hold of Fifa 11 and 12 on PS3 i played it against people who've been playin' Fifa games like 4ever, i lost the first 5 games and After that i stated whippin' ppl till i got bored n never lost again and the same guys who are Fifas fans can't even win one game on PES, they got murdered flawlesly. Fifa is for kids

Murphy does raise good points but i just think PES are to blame for the position they are in. I play on both footy games and although i feel PES has good gameplay and AI, FIFA just delivers the full package including no just licenses but ultimate team, impact engine and fluid animation. P.S PES fans pls dont kill me for saying this
