Pro Evo for mep4ddym

You tried the FIFA 09 demo?

I am not a football fan as such and have always enjoyed the Fifa games more

My football fan mates are all united in the fact that PES>Fifa

[QUOTE="p4ddym"]Pro Evo for meKrigon

You tried the FIFA 09 demo?

Yeah. Dont like it. Prefer Pro Evo's gameplay.

How can people still prefer 8 way running over the smooth running that seems to be 16 or even up to 32 on the FIFA 09.

I was so impressed by the fifa 09 demo, it seems it got everything right this time around. It got what made PES so great last gen, off the ball gameplay. The tactics are even much improved.

Seeing how some players run and call for the ball without even needing to tell them to do that is great.

I think PES developers are still stuck on last gen, might be because they are so stretched out on all these systems so they can't really focus on the engine that much.

But when Seabass says that PES 2009 is not a real "next-gen" version of PES, then one should watch out. He said the same thing about 2008, promising that 2009 would be next real PES that takes the step to next-gen (current-gen).

Pro Evo used to be by far the better game, but has stood still for the last 5 version and Fifa has caught up and perhaps even surpassed it. Honestly I was a stalwart Pes fan as well, try fifa again it has come on in leaps and boundscakeorrdeath

Same here. I was PES all the way since i was a kid, but now it seems they haven't made any progress. they have even stripped down these current-gen versions.

The only thing that got me excited about PES are "be a pro mode" which seems to be more fleshed out then the FIFA "copy" and that you can import sound files (chants).

For some reason i actually prefer the way pro evo 2009 looks visually. Fifas graphics are techinically better but the pitches look dark and i dont enjoy playing it as much as i do with pro evo. I also hate all EAs menus and stuff.

Fifa.

Yea. I overall dont like the feel of Fifa. The feeling of scoring a goal in Pro Evo is much better for me.

Pro Evo plays a smoother, better and less sluggish game of football. If it had licenses for everything league it would be perfect.6matt6

PES needs to revamp the menu system and overall presentation (including getting more licenses). Make more modes and change up the gameplay to make it more fresh. Fifa just needs to work on the game feeling slow and stiff, I also do not like that all goals feel similar.

[QUOTE="6matt6"]Pro Evo plays a smoother, better and less sluggish game of football. If it had licenses for everything league it would be perfect.anshul89

I think for the first time I may actually get the PC version. Might aswell put my rig to good use.

[QUOTE="6matt6"]Pro Evo plays a smoother, better and less sluggish game of football. If it had licenses for everything league it would be perfect.anshul89

PES PC has a programm that will soon be released:

Its called TEAMSERVER which will enable to have UNLIMITED NUMBER OF: Teams/balls/stadiums/championships/tournaments

Practically it can simulate the global football SCENE!!!!!

Oh and its PC only.....

Will this include boots? I hate being restricted to picking Addidas boots. Needs Nike, Umbro and Reebok to mix it up.

For more animations, more realism, smoother gameplay, and FINALLY Champion's League License Pro Evo.

But, I've always loved FIFA anyways, so I'll simply get both. I have Pro Evo 08 and FIFA 08:D

For less animations, less realism, same since 2004 gameplay, and FINALLY Champion's League License Pro Evo.

DeadMan1290

Fixed. The only good thing is the Champion's league license.

Last years PES was a disappointment and it seems they haven't improved on the game that much. I hope the demo will surprise me.

That mod looks fantastic.6matt6

Thanks:oops:

FIFA 09 has Albania as a national team? That's it, FIFA 09 for me. I was impressed with how much FIFA has evolved, and I loved 08 over PES 2008, so now, I think I'm going FIFA everytime. EA is bringing the best out of their lisences, and the gameplay is a lot more polished and better.Albanian_Killa

they need to have more. They need to have Chile (one of the most promising national team)

All national teams mod for PES2008 FULL licensed....over 200 national teams....

Wait......wait wait wait wait. Are you accurate with the fact that FIFA 09 is actually going to have the whole Argentine League. I need to see the source of this because I dont believe it. Either way I am going with FIFA 09. 10 v 10 online should be lots of fun and hopefully lag doesnt kill it.balindos

The source is just wikipedia atm. :( don't get your hopes up

1. 8 directions in PES, 16 directions in FIFA, I haven't experienced any advantage at all.
2. Tactics existed from the first PES, what are you talking about ? lol.
3. in PES 09 the AI could do this.
4. I have PES 08 on PS3, it is a next gen game on a next gen system...btw FIFA 09 plays like WE 4, talking about outdated gameplay huh?
5. Prove it with links.

---

• player faces on FIFA 08 and 09 looks like crap, on the other hand PES 08 had the exact and more realistic faces, even rookies like Yoann Gourcuff had their Faces right, FIFA doesn't have this depth of presentation.

• Every player is the same in FIFA while PES players has their own signature moves and animations even their primary feet they play with in real life, for example, Messi plays in his left foot in real life and in PES while in FIFA he plays on both feet.

---

The only flaws in PES 08 were the lack of game modes and features, plus online, other than that, the gameplay was better just like always.

When PES fans talk about disappointment, they talk about PES and what it usually offers, this doesn't mean FIFA is better when compared to PES, this doesn't mean PES fans will switch to FIFA lol, people these days takes everything out of context.

Both games look great but I've always been a pro evo fanboy and I guess I'm going to stay that wayfabz_95

Me too heheh and this year PES looks waaaay better than PES08, it is shaping up to be the best PES imo.
