^No man, fifa had the chance last year to get rid of pes, BUT FAILED.
As you may know, I was a pes fan, but switched to fifa in 09, but made the switch back to pes in 11. I actually got fifa 11 before pes 11 because I had faith that pes will suck and fifa will be better.
But I was wrong.
Fifa 11 in short.
Every team plays the same
No personality despite EA claiming it to be in
Career mode bugged and I really do mean BUGGED up to a point where the craeere is scripted to get rid of you at some point (after seasons with the same team, the game does everything to get rid of you. YES MAJOR SCRIPTING LIKE THE SAME PLAYER SCORING, IF YOU RESET A GAME and the same events happen if you reset the year only via a seperate save).
Strength and speed are the only attributes that matter
Technique is no where to be seen
Goal variation is VERY minimal.
Superhuman goalers, even 2nd divions gks.
Dribbling. Stupid. Messi doesn't exist on fifa because he's not tall and strong.
The list could go on forever.
Now with all that, let me tell you why I ahve to faith in fifa 12.
I listened to some interviews and the developers said
After the huge success that personality + was they will turn the focus to tackling and animations.
REALLY? REALLY?
That won't improve the game. That's only visual stuff to blind people.
It WON'T FIX THE CORE ISSUES I LISTED.
So no, rest assured that fifa 12 won't beat pes in my book and in those' who aren't blinded by fifa's animations and visual presentations.
However I agree about not expecting much because you'll be disappointed. It's better if pes 12 is truly as good as they're saying to expect less and then be surprised.
Sup Shaun,
I respect the fact that you have gone back to PES but please do not let your lack of skill blur your understanding of what Fifa has evolved into....a great solid game.
Firstly, not every team plays the same way in Fifa! If that was so Chicago Red Bulls would up against Real Madrid online everyday. Ridiculous!
Next, Personality plus is evident in the game. Especially in players like CR9, Messi, Drogba and a very strong defender named Pepe.....(Anyone who plays Fifa feels this)
Not all the players have Personality + but it is evident to all Fifa players like myself. Still a work in progress. But some players have better passing, dribbling and techique than others. Would you call that a personality?
Career Mode is bugged. I will admit that.
Strength and speed are a couple attributes that add to the personality of players in Fifa. Drogba strong and CR9 fast. However, players like Messi and CR9 have a personality of technique which has to be practiced and mastered.
I am sure you have seen vids of Fifa online with players labelled "skillers" who uses the techniques of players to beat their competition.
Nut megs, Rabonas, 360 turns, side steps ...you name it, once mastered the game becomes really fun. This also adds to goal variation which you mentioned, maybe because you could only score from one section of the field. The variation of goals in Fifa super exceeds PES.
Currently, there are only a few skills in PES making the game a run, pass and shoot game. Players in PES cannot even juggle a ball ....but yet still some think it is more "realistic" than Fifa. Do you recognize the dept of skill, technique and variation of animations in Fifa? I don't think so.
Let me also address the talk of "scripting" in video games. I have seen the misuse of the term in an effort to justify the poor skills of users like yourself in games.
EVERY SINGLE MOVE IN ANY VIDEO GAME IS CONTROLLED BY A PRE-DESIGNED SCRIPT. THIS INCLUDES PLAYER INPUT AND AI REACTIONS. THESE SCRIPTS ARE CODED INTO EVERY VIDEO GAME.
PLAYER INPUT IS ALSO A SCRIPT. EXAMPLE
IF A PASSES BALL B INTERCEPTS Y OR N
IF Y OPPOSITION WINS BALL
IF N A PASSES AGAIN ....
Now, have you ever noticed that when you have the ball and try to pass it to a player, he passes it to someone else? Bad scripting yes.
PES is riddled with that.
Now, when defenders in PES run away from oncoming forwards...it is infact the cause of bad coding or scripting. Like movies, the directors planned it out badly.
Now, when a team attacks and you are unable to defend and the same player keeps scoring against you....unless ...
1) You cannot foul him even if you try..he "ghosts" thru limbs
2) You cannot control your defenders...(cursor switch prob by PES)
3) You cannot keep a steady defense back line (bad AI)
....then you just maybe sheit at the game and need more practice.
Let me make this clear.
Fifa is a better game that PES because the coding/scripting in Fifa is less flawed. Still flawed but by less. Get that str8.
I hope this opens up some light for you on video games.
Ohhh....just a quick note. Fifa has kicked PES arse for the past 3yrs ...very badly. Seabass has also recently admitted the superiority and leadership of Fifa to PES.
Do you know why?
