Let me clear this up a bit.
First of all pes 6 WAS AND STILL IS OVERRATED. The problems started with pes 6.
To the OP. It's your opinion, and I respect that but to say that pes 08 and 09 were better than fifa 08 and 09 and pes 12 is worse than fifa 12 is clearly NOT A GOOD JUDGEMENT especially by saying that pes 08 and 09 were better than fifa at the time. Those 2 pes games were FAR, FAR, FAR worse than pes 11 and 12.
Pes 12 for all it's annoying problems and stupid glitches still plays like a football sim where tactical changes change the game. Yes cry about the speed and stuff, but I am talking about the tactics side of the game, not the speed.
And talking about the speed. WHAT ARE YOU PLAYING?
The same game I have? Because pes 12 at 0 is slower than pes 11 at 0. So whoever says that pes 12 is fast would clearly hate pes 11's speed as it was faster.
I totally agree on the speed though. The passing speed is too fast and you do not have total control over many things. Another bad point.
AI CHEATING. Oh man this makes me so mad that I literally become insane to a point where I do not know who I am anymore. YES IT IS THAT BAD.
That said, pes 12 does have a very good side to it. It does resemble football.
Let's talk about fifa 12. It's again, gloss over cracks and people are falling for it? SERIOUSLY?
I am honest about this. When you first play it, you say, WOW, this resembles football, because it has the animations and you have control.
But try to analyse the highlights of the game and you'll see what I am talking about.
Every player moves the same, same movement every game, with every team playing the same and people fall for it and I do not blame them, because it feels natural as the game does what you want. Also, the goal variation is nowhere near pes. And goal variation is VIP in football.
So my verdict is that fifa LOOKS MORE REAL THAN PES, BUT LACKS the depth that Pes has to offer and this is TRUE.
Ofcourse, opinions vary. But what I just said is true.
adu97, Snejder's point doesn't prove anything. He is a footballer, not a football spectator. He plays it from his point of view, we see the whole team in action.
