Pro evo ps3....who is in? - Page 2

Well I got the FIFA version bundled with with my PS3 and downloaded the demo of Pro Evo. It's a bit difficult to fully compare a demo to the full retail version. That said I haven't played FIFA or PES for the past couple of years being purely a PC gamer.

I think FIFA has come a long way, a real long way as there was a noticeable difference in gameplay and PES came out on top. Now the gap is not as wide. Whilst I think FIFA looks more polished and plays more realistic, I think PES still holds the advantage. FIFA to me (Certainly in multi player) still is blighted with who can do the most tricks wins. Defenders are painfully slow in FIFA as well. For these two factors I think scorelines will end up being greatly exagerated.

Don't get me wrong I think FIFA has a hell of a lot going for it and its a travesty that Konami haven't moved the game forward another level like EA have. That said when you strip away all the online stuff, player management and bloat, play for play I feel PES just about noses it.

In the past I would have traded in FIFA for PES. I think I will keep this and order Pro Evo. All things being equall, this is great for us footy fans as each year Konami and EA should be trading blows to make the better game.

Thank you loki. I have experienced some of the points you raise as well and I personally will prefer pro evo over fifa. I guess it is all about horses and courses....or how did that saying goes again? Lol.

Konami needs to wake the **** up and realise they will soon lose it. Having said that, I agree that it is a good thing for footy gamers and this year and next will be exciting times.

My pre-order of pro evo2009 should arrive in the next few days...cant wait.

PS: Loki, do I have you on my friends list?

I preferred FIFA 08 at first over pro evo, till i started playing El on PSN, it was very choppy and laggy, but it still played a good game of football.

By all accounts lag has been eliminated, so im hopeful, Fifa 09 is great, but its still hampered by being too easy to tackle.

The scores exageratted in Fifa? Not in this years version, not so far. I was able to beat teams 6/7-0 on Semi-pro, but bumping the difficulty up to Pro means I'm having trouble scoring and winning (I managed a 6-1 win against a League 2 team as Everton, something you could see happen in real life). In PES, even on 5 star difficulty I could beat teams by huge margins. Using players like Ronaldo with their pace meant it was easy to rip teams to bits. I once beat Man Utd 10-0 with Everton, just because I had 3 speed demons up front. That's last years PES though, so it's entirely possible this years game may have evened that out a bit.

Cool. I will check just to make sure.

I'm ElRazur on the psn.

@MM: I look forward, especially the online side of things.

Hopefully there will be little or no lag at all this time.

Yes it has. No longer can you dash across with the ball at your feet like Usain Bolts am afraid. The defenders closes down better on the striker now and people like Adriano, Eto, Henri and co can no longer sprint past defenders.

That's good, I'm glad they've sorted that out. I'd still expect players like that to be uncatchable should they get a head start (they are lightning quick after all), but it was too unbalanced last year.
