Pro evo ps3....who is in?

[loki]

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.
