Fifa 09 vs Pro Evo 2009

[RAMAXWY]

Now I am an old school gamer ( dont play manager mode or be a pro/legend, just pure football) so bear with me here (I've got both FIFA and PES).

FIFA 08 was way waaay better than PES 08, no question, the later was basically a diahrea arcade fest. Now FIFA 09 comes along and what do I see? I just see a faster paced FIFA 08 with a little bit more responses in the control dept. Players are sluggish, they literally stager around the pitch and then there's the ball: jesus christ what in fock name's is that? Its a beach ball with helium! Granted the series has definetly progressed and thats a good thing (otherwise Seabass will be curling your balls with one hand and fondling your sister with the other).

PES 09 is amaazing in my opinion I would say its probably the 3rd best ever made (after 04 and 03). I am very very happy with the graphics (I dont like the glossy, cartoonish look of FIFA) and the entire game is just beautifully replicated, I just love how Messi tears down defenders with raw speed while Totti has this amazing balanced weight to him that provides optimum ball control. Just love it!

I was an avid footballer, I played for my high school and I played at varsity level when I went to uni in the states so I am not a pro by any means but I do understand the game. And I disagree with those of you here who say that FIFA is more realistic, no way, with that helium ball?! I for one feel that FIFA is made for gamers (when you take a corner, the entire camera perspective changes as it floats above, thats not realistic, thats a game!). Some prefer blondes, some prefer ass.. I prefer PES (over FIFA that is...not over ass or blondes)

i agree with most of what you said except for FIFA 08 was better than PES08.
also i can not understand that if you read all the reviews and also all the posts on this site why people act as if it's such a close race because i just think PES2009 blows FIFA09 AWAY.
The only area where FIFA wins is their presentation .
the graphics in PES ROCK BIG TIME and altough the animations in FIFA are meant to be realistic for me they look weird.
the animations in PES just needs to be alot smoother than it would look alot better imo.
someone else said this already and it's totally correct because the licenses don't matter that much to real PES fans espacially when u look at all the option file makers we have in the PES community they make it totally irrelavant .
and is it just me or are these option files coming out faster every year because the game wasn't even out yet and we could already download a few.
so believe me i am honored too be a member in such community because we all help in making all the money that EA have mean sh***.
