Pro Evo 2010 v FIFA 10: which one will you buy?
This YouTube vid gives us a rough first look at the relative merits of the new versions of Pro Evolution Soccer (Konami) and FIFA (EA). PES up first, then FIFA’s clips follow…
From all I’ve read and seen, there won’t be much to separate the two this time around. Gamers know that Konami’s high standards – based in previous years almost entirely on playability – had slipped but it seems as if they’ve addressed many of the issues that plagued recent editions of PES (more on that in this post). Pro Evo’s biggest problem was its atrociously laggy online mode, but Konami’s decision to let Sony and Microsoft handle the servers should result in a big improvement.
As usual, FIFA will be more polished and authentic, simply because it owns the official licenses. After all, would you rather play at Old Trafford or Trad Brick Stadium? For playability, FIFA is getting much closer to PES too. FIFA 10 promises 360 dribbling (ie. dribbling in 360 different directions, rather than the standard eight directions of most digital joypads).
I have always been a PES man, but this time I will buy both, just to compare – then I’ll probably end up selling the one I play less. In my heart, I hope it’s FIFA that ends up on eBay.
Which of the two will you buy? Vote below:
people dont get it do they, a slower game speed is a better game speed, so much more like the real game itself, you can actually play good patient possesion football and get satisfaction out of it
fifa is king pro ev run about like stickmen gameplay is bettin fifa alltogether although pro ev upclose graphics are wicked
all about realism…all about Pro Evo, I own both, just to make sure I dont miss out on something, but Pro Evo is streets ahead in realism…Building play and tactics are what football is about, the new additions to PES2010 player profiles and game plans blow Fifa back 3 years…
I think fifa’s gameplay is awesome. dont like the commentary reaction and crowd reaction when players score, almost non existent ( and thats the most exiting part of a game) Pro- evo graphics and player likeness is amazing. Ive got both games and am still unsure which one too keep. If only fifa had pro evo’s graphics, of if pro evo had fifa’s gameplay, thats would make my decision easier.
Pro Evo 10 started off fun, then got a bit frustrating and now I’m just plain sickened at Konami’s waste of a world class game engine. And I’m still on pure gameplay, not even begun to think about the position system (how come if I want to sub a WF or WB into a SMF position, or a CMF into a AMF or DMF… I have to spend a bunch of time going through the damn position edit just to swap the roles of a player in exactly the same position?!).
Nah nevermind all that, the gameplay’s degraded to the point where I might even sell out and get old sickotricko FIFA. Giving up football for kiddy cartoons? Now that IS desparate.
I purchased both of these great game and i must say that pro evo10 is doing it for me at the min. Like a lavish lady popping her hand down my trousers i get real excitement from playing the master league. The only gripe is it is a slight bit fast and sometimes ( at key moments) the game reverts to clumsy mode, but none of this takes away from the feel of the game. Fifa for me is a great game to just pick up and play with friend ..but play for any length of time and it gets a bit samey and quite boring i must add.
isn’t possible to edit uniforms on FIFA 10?
I can’t watch that video i mean what is it with the irritating music.
Konami need to get rid of that prat ’seabass’ as it was that twit that dicided to go down the arcade route. If I was konami I would take the game right back to it’s routs when it was quite simply BRILIANT but until people stop buying these shit ’seabass’ games Konami are not going to get the message. I would sack the whole team and get people in with real vision plus a few westeners for this market.
Love the simplicity of Fifa online playing friends.. Can’t work out how to play a friend on Pes10 Konami don’t make it easy???
seriously, been playing pro evo for ever and have to say the latest effort frustrates me to the hilt. why do the players make so many stupid mistakes? why is it in the last pro i battered all my mates but in this one all my powers have been evaporated into nothing. even my mated who were crap are giving me a game and beating me sometimes…it makes me sick…i want to be the undisputed champ again. oh well, just wait till nxt years effort.
FIFA 2010 is rubbish, I’ve given it a go this year thinking that the gameplay has come so far as get within a sniff of pro evo but i was wrong. So much so that I almost put a controller thru a wall how irritating it was. I call it bumper car football. To take the ball off a player all you have to do is run into them… no skill whatsoever needed.
It takes multiple buttons to be able to a dribble, and all you have to do is pick a team with pace and no matter how garbage a player you are you just counter attack quickly and next thing you know you’re one on one with the keeper. The defences play up at the half way line no matter what you change in the tactics. Thats just ridiculous when the ball is being contested at the half way line.
What team plays a flat defence with the last man less than 5 metres from a midfield contest. Who said there was realism in Fifa 10.
Pro Evo will always be number 1. Fifa can keep its finesse button and boomerang crosses and its licenses. Fifa 10 officially in the bin.
i own both but pes2010 is 100 times more realistic and better than fifa
Fifa 10 is absolute garbage. The crossing is pathetic, the shooting is awful everything is just ridiculous. I was looking forward to the under armor in the winter, but when you edit the player all they wear in winter is a pair of gloves, Now thats just rubbish!. Pro Evo is way better, better graphics, better passing, better shooting. Fifa has really gone down the drain and I want my $50 back from EA making me buy this crap game. I hope EA go bankrupt and save us from their shit games. Pro all the way!!
i own both the games pes 10 and fifa 10 i was so much exicited that this time the fifa will gain better but i have wasted my moneyfifa is worstpes is 1000 time sbetter than fifa maximum 32 dribblings are possible &tricks also i have wasted my money i wantmy 20$back
fifa is a compete waste of money, its too samey after youve played a couple of games, same boring pathetic passes, same boringley limp crosses wich go nowere near were you want them too and the manager mode is completely pointless, also the only difference between the good and bad players is the good ones can do triks with the analog stik, and you cant even tell who is a good player cos the stats are soo porley presented. pro eveo is a god in comarison to fifa, smooth graphics and gameplay, a brilliant edit system and the players stats are clear and simple to read and understand. im takin fifa back to tade in while i still can, and ollie, f.y.i 360 dribbling dosent mean you can dribble in 360 different directions, try it if you dont believe me, its just what they named the action for the trick stick.
pro evo 6 ftw !
fifa rules pro
previous years pro evo has been ahead. but these generation of games fifa 10 is streets ahead of pro evo.
own both but fifa owns pes ppl run like retards and its not real how fast the gameplay is not realistic at alll dsf
well i havent seen fifa 2010, but just as the world suspects every muslim is a terrorist so i will conclude that every fifa is gabbage.finally i will say pro is still the trail brazer.
a think fifas gameplay has improved alot from recent years, i have got board of it after two days of playing it like every other fifa havnt bought pro evo yet but mite have to purchase sooner rather than l8a
I only have fifa but i’m thinking about getting pro evo. fifa is just another poor excuse of a game from another lazy performance from ea sports. churning out average games for more money
aw great game fellas :D ;)
he he he fifa ??????…it’s a funny game…only for childrens…r u a child??????? ha ha ha….pes is for real football lovers…
Fifa is rubbish. It is for people who can not play a game of football that is a challenge which is what Pro evo is. I think that EA needs to make fifa more of a challenge because the keepers are crap as you can keep on scoring the same goal again and again.
I think the same as nuttsy fifa is shit!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Pro Evo all the way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
