Well they finally did it. EA made a better football game than konami.
each year they were getting closer but konami have handed it to them on a plate.
I am not gonna bore you with a review on both games, you can go anywhere on net and find most reviews in favour of fifa08.
what i want to concentrate on is personal experience,
each year the 2 games in question gradually improve most aspects of there games, that is until next gen came along.
although EA seemed to of thrived on next gen, konami have struggled big time, 1st with pes6 then promising us bigger and better next time.
these days the most fun part of the game is to be able to play online.
fifa08 Within 2 seconds of clicking your button you have a game to play, and very very rare have i ever suffured any lag.
PES2008 on the other hand, you press the button and ten minutes later your still waiting for your first game, perhaps konami think that if they keep us waiting long enough PES2009 will come out and we wont get to play pes2008.
For some unknown reason if you go to an unranked match you seem to get a game quite quickly, but you will wish you hadnt bothered.
online gameplay is very poor, and most games become totally unplayable,due to the ball flying about all over the place there are so many faults i just couldnt list them all.
its not like the very first online games, where lag meant games running slow, this is like the opposite where things fly around at 100mph.
you go in for a tackle in the 6yard box and the ball ends up on the half way line, i scored a goal that hit the back of the net then came out again so i shot and scored again and it still didnt give a goal.
all the problems i dont think are down to just lag there are many bugs there too.
i always buy fifa and pes each year because i like footy, but pes always comes out on top.
my brother only buys pes he would never even consider fifa,
me and my brother play online regular as we live 130 miles apart,
we spent 3 nights trying to play PES2008 but it was an utter joke,
today i had the shock of my life, turned on xbox360 signed in my brother was online and he was playing FIFA08, i couldnt believe it.
The truth is he is a hardened footy fan who owns a console purely for the footy game PES, He has only ever bought PES
this year he hasnt give up on konami, they just havnt provided a game that is even remotely playable online, and not wanting to play just the old familiar master league for the next 12 months, he has turned to the alternative.
Now if my bro has given up on PES2008 and turned to fifa, then believe me, konami have no hope.
I just hope people think twice about buying pes next year, i no i will.
KONAMI arnt bothered this year they have already got everyones money. i just hope this isnt the end for PES forever.
