14 ways PES still has FIFA beat

Why Konami will be taking this year's match with EA into extra time.

Rock-Lee3549d ago

One way FIFA has PES ALWAYS beat:

LICENSING!

iamnsuperman3549d ago

This is the reason FIFA will always stay on top. PES can do all it likes but the lack of licencing will always hold it back

slimeybrainboy3549d ago (Edited 3549d ago )

Do none of you seriously not know that you can download a save that gets all the kits names and faces for PC and consoles?

It better as well because you can edit hairstyles boots to keep the game authentic.

The problem with PES is not licensing, it's that major areas of the game completely suck.

hardeepmeghera3549d ago

Agreed. I always liked playing PES ever since the PS2 era but not having proper names for teams was such a turn off. Till they get licensing for at least the big leagues, they'll never be able to compete With FIFA.

Yorkshire Orange for Hull made me chortle every time I came up against them.

Who cares about famous players. I care about the game. The game matters more than the players and PES is more fun and realistic to play.

I love both PES & Fifa, but PES is more realistic.

I got FIFA 14 last year so I will probably get pes this year and look at if FIFA 16 is worth getting or waiting until FIFA 17 before repeating the cycle again.

iceman063549d ago

So, I'm not the only one. I used to buy FIFA and then trade it in for PES during the times when they were off cycle. Now that they release at the same time, I pretty much do the same thing. I cycle between the two. Of course, if one has a horrible demo, then I usually be a bit more cautious with my purchase.

I am not quite sure about the legality of the option files for PES but on the current Gen they were very easy to install as an edit file. The option files (made all the correct team names and kits) look amazing and are user made.

PES is almost fully editable as well so if your playing as Yorkshire Orange you can change it to Hull City in about 30 seconds. On prior versions you could even create your own stadiums to very accurate representations of each ground if you did some work. Sadly EA brought the rights to stadiums to stop PES being able to allow this. That said there is a strong community on the internet who simply edit for PES.

FIFA gives you everything up front which is awesome, but with work PES is a much better game because you feel like you have more invested in it both with the edits and better and more difficult game play.

I own both FIFA 14 and PES 14 and I can honestly say that with an option file PES is far superior in gameplay and on the pitch. Just don't look at the stadiums very closely because there are only about 8 in the whole game

To add to the writers list

15. UEFA Champions League with Music

16. 100+ International teams.

17. Online Competitions - simply the best way to kill an hour (2 if you are good) on a football/soccer game

Konami shuts down PES 2015 servers

The online service for Pro Evolution Soccer 2015 will be terminated.

bouzebbal2873d ago

Already??? Seriously Konami?
I actually prefer PES to FIFA, but no more PES for me after what Konami has become.

Goldby2873d ago

theres a free Pes2016 game for ps4 if you have that

Godmars2902873d ago

Until they shut down the servers for that. Which could be next month.

freshslicepizza2872d ago

ea also shuts down servers to some of their older games and so has sony. sony shut down socom 4, resistance games and even gt5.

ecchiless2872d ago

And here he is, the article is talking about pes and konami, but sure lets bring ps servers to this topic, sure he talks about ea servers to sound fair..... smh

hay2872d ago (Edited 2872d ago )

While it's their choice to do that I hate when servers go offline. I whish every game would support dedicated servers so that community would exist after the game stopped being supported.

freshslicepizza2872d ago

@ecchiless
"And here he is, the article is talking about pes and konami, but sure lets bring ps servers to this topic, sure he talks about ea servers to sound fair..... smh"

it is to show that this isn't immune to just konami whom so many want to pick on now that what happened to kojima and their new focus into mobile gaming.

And if fifa 17 this year is using the Frostbite 3 engine and showing gameplay improvements making use of the engines benefits (including the referees and goalkeepers, and other realism improvements such as the managers coming out into their box rallying the team on, the fourth referee, net realism, better particle effects in rain, snow or foggy conditions etc) then PES could be on the back burner again.

#Youknowwhatgoeshere

Konami: Noun; joke of the gaming industry despite being at one point highly praised.

TwoForce2873d ago

What ? The game was about 3 years old and you shutting it down ? Really, Konami ?

hay2872d ago

One year and six months old. Officially gaming have dropped below 2 year support time.

Shubhendu_Singh2873d ago

FIFA just got a new Frostbite engine treatment...
So in response Konami shuts down their only 1 year old servers.

Keep winning Konami. You know what gamers want !!

Jamaicangmr2873d ago

Nice move Konami. I see you enjoying ruining this once mighty brand.
