When MyGEN arrived today at EA's FIFA 08 media launch they were given some small time to play FIFA 08. The game is a huge improvement on last year and any football fan is going to want this game. The other good news that has already been announced but was pushed again today was the fact that the Hyundai A-League will feature in EA's FIFA 08 for the first time in video game history. This was all brought on by local EA rep Jamie McKinlay, Aussie born executive producer Andrew Wilson and all the team at EA Canada. Originally it was a goal to have the A-League by 2009 but with the hard work from these guys they now have localised content which will only help the game even more. Hopefully they see more of this effort in the future with other sports
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

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."
