At first look PES 5 doesn't seem to have anything new... But it's in detail. The former versions already showed how a simulation has to look. If you played football (saying soccer reminds me of pressing buttons) with 10 mates for years you don't want to have an action-soccer game (now it fits) like FIFA. You deserve more. With a lot of my friends I already played PES in one team or against each other. It's funny to see that their behaviour on a real football field is reflected when we sit in front of screen. Whatever they value or prefer to play in real life they just do it with a pad in their hands. This in fact was the most convincing point for me. And even today I find out some more tricks to bring my play to another level. It's not easy, but that lets your motivation grow. Of course, there's still a lot of work. Referees make false decisions (from what it looks on the screen) so that the play isn't always fluent and online-play has to be improved.
Many people claim that it's almost impossible to tackle without a foul. It's NOT true! You just need to be careful when defending - just like reality you can't run into an opponent and steal the ball. You have to follow him, stand close to and in front of him to make him nervous. Another hint: use (only) the black button, when you are very close - the player gently steals the ball.
I really can't stand reading these reviews saying that FIFA is better. How can someone prefer FIFA? This ain't football. It's very hectic, faster than realitiy and players can do things (run through the defence WITH ball) that are far from realitiy. I know FIFA since it's first release on PC. Of course, it improved a lot. Of course the license, graphics and other gameoptions are worth buying it. But if you're really interested in football (or say soccer) your only option is to buy PES 5. It DEFINITELY is much closer to reality than FIFA.
There can't be any question considering what's better... FIFA is for those who wanna play soccer and need the license to enjoy it and PES is for those who want to play football and do know what it's about! You just need to know who you are!
