Like all great photographs, the covers of the FIFA and Pro Evolution Soccer video games capture a moment in time. But which ones have been best?
PES and FIFA were the true football rivals of gaming for two decades, but the landscape of football games has changed dramatically in recent years. GameSpew looks back on the rivalry, and where the franchises are now.
No contest since 2012, PES/Pro Evo dominates FIFA in gameplay but fails in UX/UI and licenses. Graphics are a slight nod to FiFA.
Interesting read, some stuff not factually correct though.
EA didnt lose the rights to the name FIFA. They chose not to relicense due to the extortionate fee that they were being charged.
The bottom line is true though, EA are comfortable and put what feels like little to no effort into each release. There is still so much that can be done with this game and yet, we see so little.
Microsoft has rolled out an update on the Xbox Game Pass store page and app to reflect the games that will be leaving Xbox Game Pass.
The Last Stop, Fifa 20 (being replaced with 22) Jurassic World Evolution, MotoGP 20.
I won't miss these.
EA have announced in their online service updates notice that FIFA 20 will not be playable on EA Play from July 1, 2022.
