1UP's not going to crown FIFA 08 just yet, but after spending more hands-on time with it than David Beckham's spent on-field for the LA Galaxy, prospects look good. After a dozen games, they decided to look back at last year's review of FIFA 07, just to see what the developers didn't fix. After all, FIFA tends to dupe the U.S. press with its glamour every year, but ends up being a 10-game experience before you toss the controller and just turn the game on to listen to the soundtrack.
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."
I read a side by side comparison on another site that said the in game engine in FIFA just is not as fast and smooth as PES.
PES can keep up with you in decisions and flow, FIFA cannot.
I know what I'm getting.
I cant believe people actually still buy fifa.
Obviously having the full licenses saves EA in nearly all their sports games that has to be one of the main reasons anybody buys fifa the other being they have always played it and dont want to change.
Because gameplay wise i cant see a single reason why fifa is better the pes, do you still have to use the gay analogue sticks on the new iterations of fifa as i havent played them for a while that sucks real bad.
I think this statement saids it all.
It's tough to get a yellow, and a red comes only if you tackle from behind when it's a one-on-the-goalie situation.
Well thats well realistic :\
I cannot wait until this comes out. I'll also pick up PES.
