Poll: FIFA or PES?

[mojojowjow2007]

For those who like this type of game which do you think is better?

FIFA is very player n kid friendly which makes it very easy to just pick up and play but has some horrible design choices.

PES has amazing gameplay but takes ages to get into it and doesnt own the rights to many teams which is very annoying.

Pro Evo is simply the better game.

Fifa in every way. Graphics, gameplay, clubs. All better

 

[Headwuend]

It depends...

On PC I'd say Pro Evo is better due to FIFA's worse graphics (still old engine, bad optimization), gameplay and controller configuration (I had to edit a file with notepad in order to move the "start"-button, wth?)

On 360 or PS3 however, FIFA 09 is sliiightly better imo. It has the nicer graphics and the gameplay is severely different from the one on PC, offering the same possibilities in my offensive play as PES. But the dribblings are more balanced, maybe because the defensive controls in FIFA are much more sophisticated (you can choose to only pressure the player in possession, waiting for a chance to actually go for the ball). It gives me the feel of more control than PES's frustrating "apparently you did nothing wrong, but the engine decided that that forward just pushes your defender aside"-moments, which happen far too often. But maybe that's only my sucky defense in general. =)

Kid friendly? What do you mean by that?

Have you been paying attention over the last few years? What horrible design choices? Fifa's gameplay is far more in-depth and realistic to PES's.

As far as I've heard, the PC PES has been OK, but on this generation of consoles ALL of the PES games have been lazy, rushed, and very buggy. PES used to be far and away the best but FIFA has steadily overhauled it. My friend assured me that PES had ironed out bugs and not been generally lazier with this generation of PES games. I went over his house. Penalty shootout. My keeper dived, and went underground. His penalty rolled in. I brought FIFA out of my bag. We played it.

Pes. Sheer fanboyism as it's widely accepted that fifa is the better game these days but in true fanboy style, LALALA I CAN'T HEAR YOU

It's the never ending cycle.

Everytime a FIFA game is released, gamers all over say that FIFA is the greatest footie game, always has been the better footie game, is more realistic, is more fun, yada yada. Then PES comes out and everyone forgets what they said before and praise it as the second coming instead. Both series edge each other out now and again, but overall they're quite evenly matched. I prefer PES meself though, unlicensed and all.

I've never played PES only FIFA

 

[sirdanrhodes]

Neither, let them die!

PES is awful...give the ball to the fastest player on the team, run up the side of the pitch, cross, score, rinse, repeat. Are the formations in that game even useful??? NO!!! PES is garbage, always has been, always will be...FIFA FOREVER!!!

by kid friendly i mean that even 10 yr old kids can pick up and play it very easily without having to learn the usual 4000+ button combinations you have to learn with any normal game that is out at the moment.

and i prefer pes because the 2008 version for the wii beats every other football game hands down[

 

[TheBadass]

Fifa, as they actually license the teams. I play to be in the Premiere League, so PES just seems nowhere near as appealing to me.

 

[D_987]

I would have said PES, but FIFA 09 nis better in EVERY department - Gameplay, skills, clubs, modes, online..PES is a last-gen game, Kionami stuggle with online play nd thats what makes a football game for me, Fifa gameplay is far more realistic than the arcady tyle of PES and has every club EVER!

Sensible Soccer (the original).

 

[haruvister]

A couple of years back, I used to swear by FIFA. Then I played PES and realised the error of my ways. Suddenly I was off the rails!

 

[hix24]

Lst year i would have said pro evo was better. This year however i think fifa is the better overall game. Its a shame cos pro evo used to be sooooooooooo good and now its getting worse
