Fate of a modern e-footballer, FIFA and PES
Apparently this is a different game from:

or

how? why? the answer is so painfully obvious.
I also played PES 2010 demo today and it's just the same game, its just same as before, nothing has changed.
I would play PES, i do own PES 2009, i understand its like tetris, its fast, eventful, robotic and fun. But why am i not looking forward to this year's version?
1) online play will be just as ****ed up as every time before, which is not acceptable.
2) AI ...... i could go unlimited about how bad AI is and in some cases its acceptable, its a game, not a real life, its fine. I put on top-player, i win, sometimes i lose, its fun. but there are 2 big problems for me that are completely game-breaking. There is this really stupid come-back routine that PES uses, which usually activates at about the same stages in the game, towards the end or right after you score a goal. Basically the AI will try to score with all its got, including your defenders accidentally passing ball back to the opponent and your players not doing (accidentally) what you tell them to. That's one, okay, the other one that completely screws it up is an attempt by PES to even out chances of winning for different teams. And how do they do it? The stronger team's players will be less accurate and slower, while weaker team's players become the opposite. WHY? Why they have to destroy the game with this? Common! This is the stupidest way to do it. Did you ever wonder, why you are so even with your much superior friend, why he had 20 shots on goal and score 2 while you only had 3 shots on goal and scored all 3? You probably think you are just a better player...
So no PES 10 for me this year, they didnot resolve these problems, its the same, rubberglove AI. And FIFA 10 on PC does not exist, its a dated ... everything.
You probably wonder, why did i write so much about PES here, well there are only 2 games, minus as well discuss them both, otherwise this review would be incomplete. What are we supposed to play then?
The answer is simple, FIFA on Xbox. That's what they want you to do, and thats probably what i end up doing for the first time if i will still have the desire to play e-soccer this year.
