Anyone else waiting a week for Evo then?
Played about 15games on both demos and after buying Fifa for the last couple of years I think PES has not only caught up but jumped way ahead.
I can't quite put my finger on it but Fifa 11 (whilst great) still feels a bit 'on rails' to me and controlling someone like Iniesta on PES feels so much more intuitive this year compared to his Fifa incarnation. What really stands out though is the passing. Fifa's passing is markedly improved this year but PES gives you much less room for error, but crucially greater control. Some of the moves I've done on the PES demo just wouldn't be possible with the Fifa engine. I think Fifa didn't go far enough with the manual passing this year out of fear of alienating the hordes of casual gamers who only buy football/FPS games. Similarly Fifa's crossing is still poor and the AI movement of the opposition is still too predictable.
Me.
Bought both Fifa09 and Fifa10 on release date. Holding out this year after playing PES demo.
Fifa's a good game. But it's not for me i don't think. I reckon i could enjoy it on manual, but only until PES comes out next week.
Read some reviews in The Sun and they claimed Fifa was more realistic because PES still robotic. Some people just don't get 'it'. Aha. I love how different players have different reaction times, and i love how the game takes into account transfer of weight, when turning with a player.
Each to their own i guess.
