Playstation Universe Writes - "After the many Rumours circling the net about Konami acquiring the Uefa Champions League License, we can finally confirm that these rumours were actually true. We contacted Konami this morning to see if we could get this clarified, and a Spokesperson confirmed this to us and added, "Yes, i am pleased to confirm that Konami have indeed got the Uefa Champions League License, after months of talks with Uefa. They are now starting work on introducing The Uefa Champions League into Forthcoming Games".

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."
Great.
No matter what, it always will be the greatest 'FOOTBALL' sim ever, period.
PES then?
that's a surprise. Seems like Konami finally understood that licenses are important and they need to spend big money on it to improve their product.
Although this is good news for PES2009 I don't see this as a big factor to weigh into the debate of whether to buy Fifa or PES.
The reason? Well it's only rights to a name and Fifa could always immitate it by making the champions league but just calling it something else like 'European Cup' or similar. Just as PES does with all the licenses it doesn't have. I believe they both even have an option to create your own tournament!
A step in the right direction for PES though....
