PES 2009 is a good game, but the times they are changin', and we're afraid that Konami is being left behind.

ex-pro fan	0 0 In response to Article » Go to 's original post ughh this is just NOT good enough plays more like mario soccer....the player movement is terrible and im not going to buy it this year cos i cant keep supporting this ish when they just keep comin with half assed attempts.....i dislike the whole interface of the game also....the transfers are terrible who wants to have to sit there and update all the transfers thats what i bought 09 for not to have 08 teams..i dont see y they cant do what fifa does and have an online squad patch you can download....this is trash and i been waitin so long for it to come out....i dont like fifa either cos it plays way too structured and i dont like the over exagerrated momentum the players carry...but pro lost this year and they lost in a huge way because last years wasnt good enough i still played it all the way up untill 09 came out and ill probably go back to it...cos the players move like robots the way they toe punt the ball when passin is hilarious and looks horrible and they all run like a bunch of 30+ ronaldos....its like 11 ronaldos vs 11 gaza's and thats reallynot what i wanted to see out of pro...

beanz	0 0 In response to Article » Go to 's original post terrible absolutely terrible, ive been playing pro 4 years, before it was pro, im talkin international super star soccer on the snes, and let me tell n e one thats thinkin of buyin it dont!!!!!!invest your money in fifa well worth the money, EA have basically listened to the customers and given you your moneys worth, an im sorry to say but all these years ive been dissin certain mates for playin fifa, i now shall eat my hat!!!! it offers so much 4 the money, better graphics, better ball physics, realistic movement, up to date transfers and weekly player updates 4 selected leagues, not to forget its celebrations too. please dont think im a fifa fan, because 09 is the first fifa i have ever bought and it makes pro look primitive in all aspects of gaming. and by the way i own both games so i know what im tallkin about Report Reply

lee	0 0 In response to Article » Go to 's original post fifa has the better presentation, player names etc because it has to, pro evo has the better game engine that alows more skill, better passing moves, shooting etc so doesnt depend on having flashy presentation. It's easy to get caught up in fifas marketing and fancy ads but all you have to do if u have a ps3 or xbox is download both demos and it will be clear to see which plays better, although to be fair my sister prefers Fifa.

braintybonus	0 0 In response to Article » Go to 's original post I bought fifa 09 because i thought that it would be better than pes 2009. And i was right and wrong!! Controlling players in fifa 09 is like walking through mud, where as pes 2009 is still as fluent as ever. But the overall effort of presentation and licences in fifa completly over shadows pes. I hope someone from konami reads this cas next year they need to scrap the master league and replace it with proper leagues from around the world, using the champions league and uefa cup to their advantage. they need to improve the legend mode (which is actually quite good in pes 2009). They need to get a ton more licences somehow but most of all the gameplay needs to feel like it did on the ps2!!!!! I'm worried because if fifa sort out the contols and gameplay for next year i think pes may as well pull down its trousers and pants and take a shafting from fifa. Reply

Kiroquai	0 0 In response to Article » Go to 's original post I always love the FIFA vs. Pro Evo arguments, although they are mostly between people whose Mums can only afford to buy them either one or the other rather than intelligent discussions. For what it is worth, I completely agree with the reviews of both here. What's more, it is a general perception across many sites this year that FIFA is the better game. Eurogamer pretty much said the same thing. Report Reply

Steven	0 0 In response to Article » Go to 's original post FIFA fan boy much?! Pathetic review. The game is a game, not a comparison between two games. You can only judge it fairly on its own. Like Judging Saints Row... This reviewer needs to learn a few pointers! Seems like they let any cowboy write a review and because its encased online (lol) it seems to be etched in stone? Get a grip.

gpool	0 0 In response to Article » Go to 's original post i just traded fifa 09 and got pes09 . fifa looks a good game but plays very poor it also very frustrating. i play mostly with my friends who all love the game of ball and we stopped playing fifa after 4 games and went back to pes 09. pes is a for more injoyable and fun game. fast counter attacking football is what i like fifa to god dame slow and easy to read an the passing is muck.

sfx500	0 0 In response to Article » Go to 's original post Well.. I've downloaded the demo for both PES and FIFA this year..and while yes its true that FIFA's graphics and presentation are far far better than PES, there's something about PES that just seems more..fun. I'm not sure what it is. As a soccer referee for over 9 years PES's gameplay just seems so much more realistic too. Despite the graphics, the overall feeling of the game just seems much more like the real thing in PES. I keep trying FIFA, but for some reason keep going back to PES. To me FIFA feels more like an Americanized, over-glorified version of the sport...when PES seems more simple, realistic, and just more fun... If Konami would just hurry up and update there graphics it would be no hard decision! Reply
