THIS IS A BASIC REVIEW not going into huge amounts of detail, JUST SIMPLE STUFF.
i just want to get this off my chest .
as every pes fan knows how in recent times , the tables have turned
and fifa is on top , and PES are working on a comeback[i hope]
Ive been a pes fan since the ISS days ever since then , brought every freakin pes game and played the shit out of it . But i have never brought a FIFA game ,, until now , and never played since 98.
I missed FIFA 10. played demo and that was it . But now i decided to get the WC game after playing the demo , so i paid full price for it / trade in with another game.
Played the demo , loved the gameplay and atmosphere , so i got it.
Note , i have pes 10 and am still playing that too! , so i have both.
So this is the first EA soccer game im playing , and so far im having a great great time, i brought espeically for Online experiance, which PES sadly doesant stand up to.
BY the way im playing using PES controls !
im gna be comparing to pes quite a bit .
GRAPHICS =
ok not so good when it comes to player faces , but stadiums and pitch are great. But it is for me ... no where near as good looking as PES,.
7.5/10 FIFAS graphcis have putt me off from playing it alot ! , the way game looks has had a negative effect on me , even the radar isnt as clear on the pes games.
PES Graphics = 9.5/10 i think konami have nailed it .
GAMEPLAY =
great animations, great ball physics , great player movment , feels alive, intense matches, can change the speed of the game ! ,
not so many fouls. freedom of play ......! yes what PES once use to have ,
SOUND =
good commentry , however not perfect, but a mile ahead of PES.
atmoshpere stadium effects ARE GRAND !!! konami should seriously see this and implement it , i dont care if they copy it exact.
feels alive ! and creates more tension. Konami need to improve their commentry by a substanital amount.
GAME MODES=
you have normal exhibiton , online WC which i got this game for , you take a team to group stages and then advance , great stuff !!
story of qualifying , which is not so bad.
But online WC for me nails it ! . not much lag or response problems[at all],
WHAT IS MISSING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
INDIVIDUALITY !!!!
ok there is some small amounts of individuality in this game , but very small. sometimes i think this may be the one spot where EA will never be able to Nail.
where as PES have this in the games blood ! , and just need to work on animations and gameplay. AND this in fact has me buying PES every year, cuz of it . for me its important. I need to have fear in seeing what my player fittness will look like , cuz it determines the game a lot like real life. , key players its important.
But in FIFA i just cannot find it
, i play anybody i dont seem to be bothered , i have tried , but i just cant notice it , as much as PES.
What konami have to do .
we all know , they need to improve animations. RESPONSE TIMES !!!!!!!..........SIMPLE.
gameplay tweeks are needed . in fact as one suggested , have a completly new engine . PES are not that far from catching up in terms of basic gampley and animations. Player movments and sound. They can do it, im very sure of it , in fact if they try, they can better it . On the past gen they showed us what they could do , its matter of pulling it off again.
I have high hopes for PES 11 , like every year, but i think this year they can do it .
WILL I BE BUYING FIFA 11 .... i doubt it . im very confident that konami can give us a great game this year. saying that .... I AM ENJOYING PES 10 , espeically playing with mates. I dont hate FIFA, its just that i havent played it becasue it hasnt been the better game for the last 10 years or so. But suddenly they have taken the top , well done to them.
Community is an issue , that konami have. But this year ive seen improvments from many fan sites. And konami being more involved with their wolrd wide fan base.
conclusion
we have some great footie games i beleive , but truth is FIFA EA, have
the upper hand , yes they have the better game, only now that fans like me have noticed flaws in PES [ but never wanted to mention them because we love the game that much , yh you can call us sad] that we look and find the competiton is putting out a great footie game , its only right we give it a try.
and hatts off to EA for doing just that. But im looking foward to the end of this year. Definetly to what PES can do with their next installment.
FIFA WC 2010 for me is an enjoyable game ,and for me probably is the best football game out their !!!! right now topping FIFA 10 with its improved gameplay. EA are showing their superiority[while it lasts] . great fun , enjoyable and i think must be played by any footie fan. However buying it .... full price. If you havent brought FIFA 10 then investing in this is worth it , BUT play the demo first . will it last after the world cup .... i think it might due to the enjoyable online. and general fun , or i might trade it in if i get bored of it . Thus it will be cheaper after the tournement.
8.5/10
i wont give it 10 , because it misses Graphics , and individuality for me is just too important not to be noticeable to the extent , of how the competition[pes] have it .
