if you like fantasy goals (easy goals) running 100 mtrs doing simple tricks not losing the ball
That part alone clearly shows you haven't played FIFA 08, and if you did, you did on Amateur. That description is better suited for PES 2008 and its ridiculous scorelines (except for the tricks part. In PES 2008 you just have to run 100 mtrs doing nothing). We're talking next-gen here, of course.
In my opinion, FIFA 09 will be the better game overall, but I'm pretty confident PES 2009 will get back on track gameplay-wise, and if that's the case then it'll play better for sure, and I'm getting it.
Today, the best footy sim is surely PES 6. And I say this after having tried PES 2008 for 4 months, having played FIFA 08 exclusively for 4 months, EURO 2008 for a couple of weeks, then going back to PES 5 for a while and finally returning to PES 6.
FIFA 08 is very deep and more realistic than PES 2008, but animations need refining, and the game kinda falters when it comes, for example, to a quick counter attack. It lacks some punch in quick plays. EURO 2008 was a bit better, so maybe FIFA 09 will correct these issues. If so, I'm getting it for sure.
Hopefully, by November I'll be playing two great football games.
And about the poll, yes, I think fifa *can* outdo PES, only if PES 2009 is as suckass as PES 2008. Which I don't think will be the case.
