Level 15 and Once again FIFA RAPES PES

Nobunaga's Ambition...sounds like a Rock band from the 70's,doesn't it?...but here on gamespot that's the name they give you when you get to level 15...all I can say is I hope I'm not here for too long :oops:

Now to the main issue...an issue I take personally...an issue that burdens my heart year in and year out...the FIFA-PES saga...or the annual molestation of the competition as I would put it since EA don't ever look like pulling their pants up and KONAMI have absolutely no problem bending over for long periods

After playing the demos of both FIFA12 and PES12,I have absolutely no doubt which one I'm spending my lunch money on.Yes folks,there's absolutely no need for coin-tossing or Tarot cards,FIFA12 is the better game for days.EA have built on a solid 2011 release of their soccer sim series and brought a new,revamped and (I didn't believe it was possible) even better game.The gameplay is awesome,the player impact engine is real,the defending is more hands on and manual and there are new game modes that are probably gonna be a lotta fun to play judging from FIFA's track record these past few years

PES,PES,PES....where do I begin with your flaws?...your graphics have always been striking but veins that big sticking outta players' necks kinda make you wonder if you didn't mistakenly buy some kinda 3rd person shooter.The gameplay could've been soo much better but instead of building on last year's version they decided to (and this is strictly in my opinion) merge the gameplay mechanics of PES2011 and PES6.Players look as if they're sliding when they're turning back to get a ball that's gone behind them,and the movement is sooo...no comment...You kinda feel like the game is being played on green ice.The off-the-ball controls are a real innovation I must admit but the trigger-run control is sooo hard to pull off that sometimes you wish they'd just left it out.Keepers are still beaten too easily and lowly rated players are still no good for anything but giving away free kicks.The fouling system has not been fixed and you'll find your players getting booked for just running into another player or doing absolutely nothing foul-worthy....the list goes on but sadly my patience doesn't

The GOOD AND BAD NEWS is they're both just DEMOS...GOOD NEWS because PES might be able to patch up theĆ­r game's flaws(well some,hopefully most of them) and release a game that's actually half decent and worth the money in the wallet you found on the sidewalk...BAD NEWS because the anticipation of a full FIFA12 couldn't be much higher and this is all thanks to a demo that shows a game that I dare say is fit for release looking at what the competition is bringing to the table
