FIFA's continuing screwing around with this is just so annoying. You should be able to have as many human players as you want. In FIFA there is only one way to play.ĮA Sports have been under performing with the FIFA series since about 2000 in my opinion.Īnother thing that really annoys me is the options for custom tournaments - in every version you should be able to create your own tournaments - this should be a given. In PES the emphasis on learning techniques and mastering them, and a player can develop their own style of play. In FIFA you learn the tricks to win then just keep doing them over again. In FIFA your main striker will score over 50% of your teams goals! That in itself shows how shallow the game is. Things like staying goal side of the man, retaining possesion, passing, these are all important factors in PES.

You can tell that the people who made it are real football fans. PES has the feel and rhythm of a real game of football. When it comes down to the actual game on the field, PES outstrips FIFA - totally eclipses it. The following comments that I am going to make all talk about game play - talk about graphics, fan chants, stadiums, etc - these are all superficial things when compared to the actual game play. I had been getting frustrated with FIFA for quite some time and the reason is this: game play. I have been a dedicated FIFA player since the first version, and I never thought I would find a better football game, but I have given up on FIFA and switched to PES. I have been reading these forums for a little while with much interest.
