finally i got myself a ps3, and because PES will be next gen on pc i thought i would buy fifa on the ps3 so here are the unbiased comparaison points:
Graphics:
FIFA the stadiums look great, although the crowd looks REALLY bad, but the overall environment is very good. Screen adboards, shirt deformation (not perfect but better than PES), on the other hand faces aren't realistic and there are no refs on the pitch which is confusing given the ps3 capabilities.
PES stadiums are really good too, the crowd is a lot better than fifa's but not perfect. Players are a lot better represented as faces are incredibly realistic. Though the lack of licenses for teams, shoes and balls may ruin the experience.
Gameplay
FIFA I never thought i'd say that but for the first time fifa's gameplay is better. Forget all that non-sense of lag in response as it's only online and it's not that bad ( you have to think faster that's all
), online play suffers almost no lag. Players animations are great, changing directions is realistic. Trick system is rewarding as it's not easy as it was before. You can see the players touching the ball to set it ready for a pass or a shot not just passing it while it's in a weird position of the foot.
PES gameplay is almost the same as ever but with a few tweaks, gameplay is somewhat slower, passing is faster, well what you'd expect from konami. The thing is they still couldn't get the ABCs right. Players still seem to slide across the pitch and for God sake the collision physics, they should have mastered it already but they manage to surprise me every year with the same old physics collision bugs (not that FIFA doesn't have any bugs). Other than that the game is enjoyable, as the real change in realism for PES this year was graphic wise.
Presentation
FIFA needless to say that fifa was always superior in terms of presentation, one thing i noticed this year was the menus were a bit confusing at first, but as soon as you get used to them they'll be alright.
PES menus are a bit better but the soundtrack is really bad which is funny because instead of improving the soundtrack they added more crappy music.
Overall
well i give FIFA an 8.5 as for PES an 8, i think there is still a long road ahead of both games and lots of room for improvement.
