I have(had) FIFA on Xbox. I also have CF and PES3, I would rate FIFA as the weaker of the 3.
Here's why: (remember this is only MY opinion, please direct all bomb threats to Bluescouse)
PES3 I think we can all agree is the best Footy game ever. The gameplay and ball physics are almost perfect. And I actually enjoy editing (no I don't spot trains)
CF: It gets extra points for having my teams logo on the cover (Shallow I know) and being based on my team. The gameplay, after lot's of tries and nearly throwing the thing, just edges FIFA. However CF does have problems that infuriate me (super goalies, stupid players etc.)
FIFA: Now I must admit I have bought probably every FIFA made and until last year I was happy with whichever edition it was as long as it had LFC's new kit and a few extras.
Last year about two months in I was flat out bored. I spoke to some educated few on the LFC Boards and bought PES2. Needless to say FIFA did not get played again.
Now, FIFA 2004 is a think a LOT better than last year, has substantial additions (off the ball, lower divs) and much improved gameplay.
However to improve 2003 gameplay is no great acomplishment.
I think to at least try all is the best solution.
Chewy's rating out of 10
PES3 10/10 (well?)
CF 8/10
FIFA 7.5/10

club footie is shite: Their are loads of bugs in the game and it is really slow to react and has rubbish graphics to what it should be.
fifa is good because it has good gamplay and excellent looks and pes is good cos it has excellent gamply and alright looks .
their is not a footie game out their that has the complete package so by getting fifa and pes3 i have the complete package-excellent looks and excellent gameplay!!!

Definitely Maybe

The last Fifa I bought was 2002, which was utter, utter piss.
I have however, played the PC demo for 2004, and I have to say it looks alright, but not great. The graphics look fancy, and the gameplay has improved, but it is still "Fifa-ish", if you get what I mean (in the wall the players run, and how it is so easy to score).
I guess I am just used to PES, and I cant get the hang of Fifa anymore (my fave is still 98 like).

its only easy to score if ya play on amateur lol.
the gamplay this year actually has no flaws or bugs you can pretty much score from anywere.
but you must understand wot i mean about owning both.
if i'm prepared to spend £40 on fifa then why not!!
i'm sure if they were giving free copies of fifa at your local shop u would all be down their in a flash!!
and u would prob play it
its just that most of u aren't prepared to spend another £40 on fifa when u already have the best footie game and i understand that.

Ok here's the problem that can be solved very easily if you just use your brain. EA is a very smart video game company and they know how to play with peoples mind. For example take their FIFA games, and especially FIFA 2004. They knew they needed to beat KONAMI somehow so what they did they created an online play, so people can think oh KONAMI along with its WE7 & PES3 suck. Another thing is, EA pays alot of money to some top players to promote their game like this year with Del Piero, Henry and Ronaldinho. I'm sure every single KID knows these players and when they see the cover they think OMG this is the best footbal game. Then here's another BIG factor why people think FIFA 2004 is a good game, and I heard alot of people say it's even better than WE7 or PES3, so the people that say FIFA 2004 is better than WE7 or PES3 are kids, probably 5 - 18 and kids enjoy playing arcady game, instead of good simulation etc. This year what EA did was:
+ Online play
+ They improved graphics (The only thing they know how to do)
+ Added dozens of "unknown" football club teams and most people will never use half of them.
+ Gameplay is improved but it still sucks.
+ Some gay songs, and crowd chants who in the fuckin hell cares about songs and crowd chants..JEEZ
But what KONAMI does is improves gameplay each year, all people around the world are satisfied, mostly Europe, Asia and other football playing countries.. It just bothers me when Americans (where) I live say FIFA owns WE or PES, they don't know nothing about football...they play soccer fucking idiots..FIFA is nothing but a piece of shitty plastic that is worthless. I swear I'm gonna record myself pissin on FIFA 2004 disc and send it to EA.

Man, what do you mean the gameplay doesn't suck on FIFA 2004 ?? are you on crack foo ?? Every single FIFA game is nothing but a garbage including FIFA 2004 as well. Yes , FIFA 2004 sucks big time, not only that I think like this but I got almost the whole forum backing me up on this one. In FIFA 2004, the players are so damn lazy, they don't wanna run, it seems like noone wants the ball, and the passing is terrible..if you try to pass the ball to a player that you want to, he'll pass it to someone else which is ridiculous. Then long passes, the ball flies like a bullet, its so fast and unrealistic it can't even be described. When you shoot the ball and wanna score a goal you can't even see the ball goin to the goal..the only time you'll see a ball is when you score it will be either in keeper's hands or you'll see the ball in slow replay motion, how's that realistic. Corners just suck, and free kicks are unrealistic as well...what about all this huh ??? man I have nothin againts ya but I assume that you're a FIFA fan, just the way you talk..being a mod here, and backin up FIFA isn't a good thing..

And plus, I can score whenever I want from every position..it's like shooting a ball at an empty goal without GK on it.

I didn't like the way fifa looks or plays.
I have been offered the game for free (as a present) and refused it. Same goes for my 10-year-old brother. He used to be a fifa-fan until I showed him PES1. Now we both laugh together at the "off-the-ball-control" part of the adverts
If others like fifa then I have no problem with them unless they say that fifa is better than PES... then the guns are drawn
Which teams do 95% of people play as in fifa? My guess is that they play as the teams available in PES3. How accurate are the stats for people not so well known, like lower division club players?

Sorry, but this argumentation makes me laugh
Why do you need complete leagues from Norway, Korea, USA, Japan or Israel to play a full career mode ? You can play a career only in the Premiership as well. Why do I need teams from Korea, Japan or the USA when I want to play a career with ManU ?
The fact is: Most of the teams are useless. Play the career mode and write on a piece of paper against how much different teams you´ve played in a season, and then compare with the amout of the teams in the whole game. You´ll see that you play only against about 1 % of all teams.

but to everyone- i love pes3 more than fifa!!!
