Fifa is not realistic and has never been and never will be a game which feels REAL..... You know that thrilling feeling you get when scoring a goal in PES 4,5,6,, fifa does not have it
.... for one to say fifa is more realistic than pes.. well its absolotely crazy talk. no player differences.... no goal variation.... top corner crackers are easily scored... disgusting graphics.... extremely small pitches..... no atmosphere whatsoever.... horrendous commentating.... baloon-like ball physics..... i can go on and on
PES Provides buzz and excitement into evry game and its soo unpredictable. sure it has its flaws with robotic dribbling but other than that Its fantastic. if anything the reason why pes dominates fifa is bcoz of the realism and sheer excitement when playing pes matches. fifa has not and never will provide such excitement into their games. FIFA is a joke and people like Tech skill ( grade A douchebag lowlife dick head) can jump of a cliff and never come back on these forums :realmad:
To be honest, they both have wide variations of goal scoring. It's just that it seems that most people find one style of play and stick to it. I try to play differently each game, according to the team I pick. In the 2009 versions of FIFA and PES, FIFA has the more fluid football engine, meaning you can play a more realistic match. However, you will find people picking Ronaldo...I mean Man Utd or Portugal, pass it to him and run. That applies to both games.
FIFA09's match engine is much more realistic to PES2009 and I remember Seabass coveting FIFA's engine. In the past, yes, PES has always been number one to true football gaming fans, but you've got to admit that PES2009 is nowhere near close to being good enough. I've tried playing it after playing FIFA for the past six months, and could not stick to it. The gameplay is way too rigid and unresponsive. I thought PES2008 was good, but not the best, and to see Konami take a step backwards was a disappointing surprise.
Playing PES2009, I've scored some good teamwork goals, as well as long-distance crackers. That's also the case in FIFA09. I've played plenty of exciting matches on both games, off-line and online (not PES2009 online, though, for obvious reason).
I wonder if you've actually played either PES2009 or FIFA09, when you criticise FIFA for no player differences, no goal differences, small pitches, no atmosphere and poor commentating. The player differences may not be as clear as PES, appearance wise, but in terms of movement, style and skill, there isn't much difference between any players. You just have the odd number of players that can do tricks others can't. Maybe it's just me, but the pitches don't seem small at all. If they're small in FIFA09, then they're small on PES2009. The atmosphere in both games is underwhelming, but more distinctive in FIFA; and the commentating in both is pretty poor. However, I do like Lawro's nonsensical comments. Nothing is going to beat Barry Davies on Actua Soccer, though. The variety in his script was immense.
I do, however, agree that the long balls are too floaty on FIFA. The best game for variations of long balls was ISS3 on the GameCube. You could hit long, driven balls, akin to Gerrard and Beckham. There were even certain players that could put loads of backspin on long balls, so that they don't run out of reach of the player they're intended for. It's a shame that wasn't utilised in other football games.

The bottom line is, the gamers make the game. If you want to play a more realistic brand of football, you can, but it was much more difficult in PES2009. I don't know how many times I've said this, but if FIFA09 had PES2009's Master League and BAL, it would have been my favourite football game of all time.
