FIFA 10

Ok I've just tried FIFA 10 in Gamestation on an X-box 360 and I have to concede it now at last looks good and is well animated. My FIFA 09 on my Playstation 2 looks very poor by comparison. So for all you FIFA nuts out their I have a couple of genuine questions before I give this years offering another chance. The two main features I like about PES is the classic teams and the way players develop on the Master League (my Nihat on PES2008 is ridiculously good, I call him Captain Fantastico).

So first off are there classic teams on FIFA and secondly assuming there is a Master League type feature on FIFA can you buy young talented players like Marek Hamsik and Aaron Ramsey and watch them develop over a few seasons like you can in PES? In fact do the players have all the player stats like they do in PES? These are the features which have kept me playing PES year after year and I wouldn't even buy PES without them.

BTW I will probably be getting it on PS3 ;)

Yeah, it's called Manager Mode and includes way more teams than PES. The players do develop but it depends on several true to life factors, such as how good your club is at developing players (you upgrade each position), how often they play etc. You can also scout generic players (more realistic than the PES regens) but again, how good they are depends on how good your clubs scouts are.

And I'm not too sure about classic teams tbh.

Hmmm, you see this is the problem with Fifa. They're trying too hard to make it too much of a simulation and less of a game. I think everyone agrees that PES despite it's clear failings is the best pick up and play game of the two. I don't want complicated button presses to score great goals, I just want to have fun. I don't want players to develop realistically I want to have an almost super human Nihat! LOL. I will of course be getting Fifa regardless because I have a son who will want it. But when we play each other it's always on PES and we play as the classic teams against each other (Usually Netherlands Vs Brazil). I just wish they'd improve the many irritations I've had with the game since PES 2!!! I could write a book but I won't.
 
tbh iv not tried this but my mate has and he was playing with city on a live match and he plays Benjani and he said he never loses a head and is fuckin lethal.

Can anybody else tell me if they have tried this ?

Yeh, and the PES fanboys all claimed it wasn't realistic enough. Now all of a sudden realism doesn't count.

I was always PES until 09, when it lost the plot bigtime.

Thats a myth, PES 2009 is the best football game I have ever played. When I first bought it I thought it was garbage and PES had lost the plot but after a few weeks it became clear just how good it was. Graphically and in terms of gameplay it is in another league to any Fifa, the only thing lacking were stadiums, kits etc but that will always be the case with EA's massive budget.

This abuse PES 2009 is totally unjustified. PES 2008 I will give you, this was the first edition on PS3 and even I will admit it was very poor but give me the choice of that and any Fifa I would still find it difficult to take the Fifa as it is just a muddled mess of graphical inperfections and unrealistic gameplay more suited to a 90's Sega megadrive.
