Quote from site:
"There is just something about Pro Evolution Soccer 2009 that shines, sure it lacks FIFA's obvious polish but once you are immersed in the gameplay it is still the best football game where it counts and that's why it's the champion once more".
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.
Fifa 10 was good, but have you seen Fifa 11? NOt that much of a step up from 10. Pro Evo 2010 was not that good, but so far, what I've seen of Pro Evo 2011 blows anything and everything Fifa out of the water.
Pro Evo is back to reclaim the number 1 spot.
just because pes has improved alot over pes 10 dont mean much, its still the same robotic game it has been for a while. and if you have played fifa 10 then moved to 11 its improved on a lot on what was already a great game.
agreed, pes11 is an improvement on last yr but it still lags way behind fifa at this point.. all the same issues that make it bad are still their
pes was good till 2011
it's a fail - they tried to change the gameplay for good but they ruined it
It's a shame that people such as yourself are still stuck in the dark days, clinging onto the hope that PES will be what it once was.
I was a huge fan of PES back in the day - as big as you could get, really - and I still believe that PES 5 and 6 are the best football games of all time. But I played the PES 2011 demo and deleted it after two games, because it's just horrible. Passing is decent, but that's about it; the player movement still borders on robotic, shooting is way too floaty and the presentation is mediocre.
If you really believe that the 'King' is back, then you must have a very short memory. PES this generation has absolutely nothing on the old games, nor does it have anything on FIFA this gen either; its rival is superior in almost every way.
It's actually a step down, they ruined the Fifa 10 formula and this is coming from a Fifa player. Am not a PES fan so i really don't know if the new one is good or not. My angle is the fact that EA messed up Fifa 11, i have spoken to many diehard fifa fans that feel the same way. Some are considering to just stick with 10 and see what 12 is like.
FIFA 11 is superior to FIFA 10 in practically every way, without a doubt. I find it laughable that anyone could think any different.
FIFA 10 was a great game, but it had way too many flaws. FIFA 11 is a much more refined experience, and is all the better for it.
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."
and great review. thanks wotta
by the demo this review is spot on.
I got to say, i'm not a fan of football games but, i've tested the two demos (FIFA09 and PES2009) both, on PC and PS3, and i don't agree with this review.
- First of all, the sound is very very poor, even PES2008 got better sound. Just listen to the ball sounds when kicked, when hits the post/bar, etc. and the enviroment sound isn't better also.
- Graphics? Well, everyone knows that graphics isn't konami's spiciality but after 2008 disaster, we, gamers, expect way better graphics then this ones.
- Now, whats with the "9.9, originality"? Those option are not that original and should have been introduced in previous versions.
- playability, lets be reasonable. PES2009 is way better then PES2008 (it wasn't hard though) but 9.8? FIFA09 has improved his playability way better then PES2009 and this year, between both, in my opinion, FIFA09 has advantage.
I think people need to stop calling PES2009 a simulator and call it what it really is, an football arcade game. You don't see real players do some of the thing you made on PES, feels like a circus, its impossible but again, that's why people like PES more than FIFA, because on PES you do stuff you'd never do on real life and it's sort of fun. On other way, FIFA movements with, and without, ball are more realistic and not everyone can adapt but that is a real simulator because you're not doing impossible this.
What i think:
Playability - 8.6
Sound - 7
Graphics - 7
Originality - 8.5
Remember, i'm not an addicted fan that suicides for the game, i'm a gamer WITH OPINION!
my team is on that image. playing barcelona :D
now my take on this "war" fifa came a long way and its great. but i still prefer PES 2009, cant beat it's gameplay.
ps- i played both demos.
they have not improve well the creator of pes said that it will be like thsi for 2 or 3 years whit just few improvement n latter they will make a ral big next-gen inprovement i hope is true .
ps. yeah fifa has inprove but that dosent make it better than pes im sorry but one thing is getting better than the old fifas and anotehr thing is been better than PES . is plane n simple like that!!!
n i wish FIFA could be better than PES so i cna move on n buy it but lifes sucks n i will stay whitout a soccer(futbol)game for teh firt time in over 10 years.
