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:
Enjoyment = pro evo
Realism = Pro
Betta game = Prp….fifa’s tooo slow and boring by comparison
Fifa is so much better. Here are the reasons why.
1) The graphics on fifa 09, compared to pes2009, were much better. Even though this year pes2009 has improved their graphics, fifa10 will still be better. Also, pes only have half decent graphics on the main players like Torres, messi etc. But if you went and looked at a smaller club which is not very well known, the player will look nothing like he should. Whereas on fifa, 90% of the players actually look how they should look.
2) fifa has TONNES more things to do on it.
-Be a pro
-Fifa clubs
-Proper manager mode- which has been improved drastically for fifa 10
-practice arena- FUNNN
-great online play
- lots more….
3) fifa 10 will also have alot more special features on it including:
360 dribbling
gameface
customisable set pieces
and the only real change to pes10 other than the graphics, is the tactical side of the game, which is just a copy of fifa09’s custom tactics!!
fifa also has all the proper licenses are proper names….
Also, the gameplay for fifa 10 has been improved alot, and it has been made faster and smoother, and seeing as Pes fans always say ” fifa is to slow”, and ” its clunky”, they should have nothing to complain about now.
And on pro evo 10, the gameplay has been kept almost the same as it was on 09….
FIFA ALL THE WAY !!
The purpose of playing computer games is for pure entertainment, and for me personally pro evo just edges past fifa based on that fact!
Hi All,
Very interesting to read everyone’s comments. I’ve always been a pes fan however was very disappointed with pes 2009. After playing Fifa 09 there is still a fundamental difference, especially when playing against mates.
This is the “when my team’s scored my opponent gets better” factor. You go 1-0, then your mate’s play gets better, passes start sticking etc……
This means a far better, more realistic match, 1-1 with 5 mins on the clock.
I didn’t get this with Fifa 09. It’s very good; however you get bored with 6-0 wins. My mate & I (both pes players) were having 9-9 games…..not realistic.
I’ve just played the Fifa 10 demo on ps3 and was quite impressed….felt very pes5 to be honest
I’m probably going to be sticking with pes this year…..just hope it’s as addictive as pes 5
i used to be a huge pro fan until 08 when i turned to fifa. fifa 08 wasnt fantastic but you could see the potential, then euro 08 came out and i thought yep were getting real close here, passing was so much better, then 09 came out, 565 online games later and its wow again! superb. after playing the 2010 demo im amazed, so much better than 09, plays like a dream, the way you can build up attacks, the little tricks and flicks etc, brilliant. pro evo as much as i hate saying this is dead and buried, fifa for now is running away with it!
Pro Evo all the way if you want a realistic game, FIFA is to stiff and akward for me sorry!
pes is for freshers the advanced people in life play FIFA c’as is the Best amoung the rest so PES fans get advanced.FIFA WE ARE MOVING FORWARD
Why are people moaning about how pro doesnt have the proper kits and names? Didnt anybody watch the video? It said Liverpool Vs Barcelona. The kits had all the details and sponsors and all the players names are correct! Fifa has a new 360 degree player control which makes the dribbling and passing quicker and more fluid.
Pro has taken the route of player pressure on the ball and angles into account for its shooting and the passing. Its player animations are more fluid than ever before making them more responsive.
Pro is much more a tactical played game where Fifa is more down so quick thinking and instinct. They are both great games this year in their own rights.
People think is all about the graphics… here is an example: Counter-Strike is not a good graphic game isit? But how many people play it MILLIONS… so take my advice dont choose a game because of its graphic choose a game if its fun for you and you like the gameplay and also I AM A PES FAN :D I just dont like FIFA and I have played it didnt like it but I liked the licensed teams… and I will never become a FIFA FAN EVER!

But I have to admit FIFA is a good game its not glitchy as PES but I still prefer PES this year Konami are back on TRACK!
I used to buy fifa from 99 to 07 on different consoles (skippin a few)but pes 5 and 6 persuaded me to join konami but when i was soo excited about pes 08 i was equally so dissapointed and the same dissapointed eluded me for the 2009 version of pro. Now i feel a change is due and playin the fifa 2010 demo might have just persuaded me to go back to the old days and buy fifa again !!!
fuck u all fifa PES IAM JUNGALE FUCK
wont buy fifa at all, they are messed up so much for PC that their latest installment is rubbish than the previos one, and yeah i played the demo for PES2010 and looks quite fun to be honest…..So Pes 2010 for me
Never leant towards either until now. I sort of just got whatever was cheaper at the time, but having played both demos… I found it easy to choose, and that choice was FIFA.
It is PES. For all the bells and whistles of Fifa, for all the authentic kits and stadia, for all the teams and commentary, when it comes down to it – ON THE PITCH – Pes is King. For utehentic player runs and strategy, for Messi’s acceleration and Fabregas’s passing, Konami have nailed it – again. I have the FIFA 10 full game and the Pes Demo, and belive the Pes demo is more rewarding. somehow.
I think both will be good because i like both. both have + and – Pes 2010 is good this year particullary graphics
Master League has some derastic changes such champions league, real currecy, youth system , you can skip matches proper scouting, etc……
and dont no much about the rest of the game
fifa10 dont no much about it
growing up I played Fifa since it was on SNES i was stuck to it all the way to its PS2 years until I played Pro Evo 6. After that I felt I had been cheated for many years playing Fifa and i remember thinking where had pro evo been all my life. I have stuck to Pro Evolution ever since then because of the game play and actual movement likeness of the game which is closest to actual real life football. Even though Fifa kept on coming up with nice graphical games and many different game experiences it never matched up to the speed and sharpness of crisp game-play as Pro Evo. This year I decided not to single out Fifa just because my past experiences with it, so I tried out both demos. Putting my mind in neutral and withholding my judgements I simply couldn’t get over the fact the Fifa’s Graphics SUUUUUUUCk! And I have a top notch gaming machine and Fifa’s uniforms look like cartoon paintings what the heck is that. The kits stretch like elastic gum and the gameplay is choppy. I honestly tried to like it but it wasn’t possible. Pro Evo stepped up the Graphics but I wish they could pass the ball a little quicker, like maybe if they felt pressure they could give rushed passes or take rushed shots by pressing an extra button with the pass or shoot button. I understand that they made the player pass the ball more natural but it cuts back the speed and Smoothness Pro Evo used to display. Overall Pro Evo still has the more dominant gameplay likeness of real Football. Thankfully we the customers are the benificiaries of this rivalry between EA and Konami it makes them step up the gaming experience, maybe if they wouldn’t have this fued we would only have the opportunity to choose from 1 dominant but sorry game title.
I just got FIFA, having been a PES man my whole life.
For anyone who wants an opinion from someone who isn’t 15, a “PES FAN FOREVER” or “FIFA FAN FOREVER”, and just wants to facts, here it is.
FIFA 10 is great. It’s superb actually. The passing, the body movement, everything is just so REAL. Plus, the ideas in FIFA simply blow PES out of the water in every way. All their modes are better than PES’s: Be a Manager, Virtual Pro, Virtual Pro 2.0? Where you can form an actual TEAM of 11 and vs other people? The guys at EA Sports are ridiculously creative.
However, if you want to play a game that is fun, addictive and great at a party, it has got to be PES. In FIFA your jaw drops at the fluidity of a game, yet it misses the point. Football games should be fun. Tricks, and doing “skill moves” should not be the principle gameplay mechanic in the game. PES is just simply more fun. You can feint and it actually effects the opposing player. The players move smoothly.
The point is: FIFA is real, its probably the most realistic football game I have ever played.
But if you just want to play for fun, it is definitely PES.
Just PES 2010. Fifa is just good in dribling and doesnt have any thing special.
PRO is dead. I say this as I used to be an avid Pro fan but 09 died and the pro10 sucked just as much there’s no joy in it. Fifa is by far the more advanced game, lets forget all the kits names stadiums. Pro has lost its playability and thats what had me on it for 8 hours plus in the past. Fifa had been promising something great for yrs and it was rubbish. Now it has finally come of age its time you converted and forced konami to sort it out. Or you’ll keep getting pants remakes with a few more kits and names and copied features from Fifa.
Fifa 10 9.5/10
so basically what im saying is Pro is a game and Fifa is a Simulation.
Like comparing Gran Turismo to Juiced
Fifa all the way.PES was the game to get in the past but it’s now fallen off the radar faster than Setanta in terms of game play and realism. Fifa is in no way the complete article but close. free kicks are given away far too easily, keeper is easily beat with a simple chip and the commentators commentate on something that has not yet even happened makes for quite a frustrating gaming experience at times but nonetheless it’s still a good ol’bit of fun amongst friends.
having bought Pro Evo for the past decade…i decided i would trade in some games in at GAME and get Fifa 10 for a bargain amount of £6.79 anyway i thought people are raving about this and was quite excited.But then i played the game!
Graphics are shocking most of the players on there look absolutley nothing like them..the gameplay is awful you cant save replays and for gods sake you cant even play a World Cup!!!
ive now played PRO 10 demo and it is light years ahead of Fifa ok yeh most things are licensed but jesus Fifa is a real let down!
Couldn’t agree more. The deterioration of the once great PES series has been like watching an old friend slip into a coma.
It’s funny how this genre divides gamers so fiercely. PES let down has been the online, which was implemented sooo badly. You had to go through about 10 screens, accept a small print everytime, then pick a server, it was a farce.
I still think if you’re handy at PES you’re good at FIFA, but that doesn’t work the other way around. On this logic, PES is a better game :)
Pro Evo is 4 real football peaople who know about football and can actually play it fifa is a game 4 little kids who just like doing tricks and looking at good graphics
in fifa u just score similar goals over and over but in pro evo every game is different thats what makes it so much better
i agree with bcfc 84…Pro Evo 4 was an absolute break through and personnal favourite of mine that game had it all!
ive been pro through and through for 7 years, and ive defended it to the hilt and i have hammered fifa, even though i havent played it for 7 years, but guys seriously……..fifa has made the breakthrough and overtaken pro.
ive run out of patience with pro not “evolving” for the past 3 years lol
fifa is definately the more realistic
if you want a game, then choose pro, but if you want a true football simulation, then you must choose fifa all day.
it hurts to say it, but pro is finished!!
i meant an outdated game…then choose pro
Right, If you really want all the kits and stadia etc you can download updated edit files which have been completely revamped down to the boots. My copy of pro 9 is flawless and benefits from being updated every so often with transfers. The gameplay admittedly is the same as pro has ever been but since when has fifa even been close. My 4 year old sister can pick up a pad and score on fifa. Ridiculous! There is absolutely no comparison. Get real people. Its a pro evo ting!!
Pro Evo is a Real game!
Fifa is for 10 year olds
Pro Evloution Soccer, is harder and requires skill,. fifa i just hit the pass button then shoot … guess what… I score
Pro Evoloution 10
Fifa 0
Fifa kicks off… Gives the ball away… Pro evo picks up… runs 30 yards, with out being remotely tackled! and scores. Pro Evo wins every time
I used to play pro, till pes 7. I started playing fifa at 08, which was awful, 09 was very good, still no pes 6 though. But fifa 10 has blown me away, it feels so fluid and realistic, the new pes feels awkward and stiff, like an old fifa game, remember the horrors of playing fifa at your mates house lol. Seabass needs to fix it and fast, anyone who stands up for pes now is just delaying the process, teel him it needs fixed, not feed his delusions of supeiority.
having played a copy of PES 2010 it is without a doubt the best footabll game i have ever played!
I have had the old fifa’s and I had International superstar soccer deluxe on the mega drive! It then changed to ISS Pro and so on etc etc.. I had fifa till 2004 and the pro’s but then just played pro more and last year all my mates who were pro fans turned to fifa and I played it and just found it alot harder han pro and vowed never to get it but after this years demo’s I found pro was much worse than before and was so disappointed and after much practice on fifa I am quite good now i reckon and I just think alot of pro fans are just loyal and frustrated cos fifa is a hard game at first whereas pro has a certain type of gameplay… time to bite the bullet and admit fifa is back ! greatest game of all time has to be fifa 98!
Its funny how fifa and pes are looking more similar year after year….
fifa 10 looks like a ps2 game the graphics are shit!
the annual fifa vs pro debate by the magazines and papers have raved at pro and slagged fifa.
fifa has kicked ass for the past 2 years but this year pro is back!
put that in pipe and smoke it fifa!
The funny part is how FIFA copied the good things from PES/WE and then FIFA was better, now PES is trying to copy FIFA and PES 10 plays like FIFA 09, don’t get me wrong PES fans i have been playing Konami soccer games since International Superstar Soccer on the SNES (maybe most of you were wearing diapers at that time)and from them on to N64, PSone, PS2 and on PC PES WAS ALWAYS THE BETTER GAME ALWAYS, FIFA could have the licenses but PES will kick FIFA’s butt as a game anytime… sadly FIFA 08 changed my mind and now i am a convert, even when i hate EA i can deny that FIFA is now a better game. i suggest to all PES fans to give FIFA with an open mind you will be surprised
I bought both games again this year, as I have done for the past 3 years – I play both with an open mind but always end up prefering Pro Evo. It really comes down to what annoys you, there are a lot of things that CAN annoy you on Pro (there always are, eg Kits, lack of stadiums, Leagues etc) but the gameplay is always good enough (for me)to gloss over those slight annoyances. In Fifa, lots of stuff annoy me – The names and numbers on shirts; they dont match and are massive (or like in FIFA 09, too small), the wax-work graphics of the players, the sluggish-style gameplay, the over-rated shit-heap graphics on the stadiums, the fact that after 16 years of games you still cant cross!(something that Pro has delivered well since pro 5), The way the players head the ball like salmon leaping from a river! (Fifa players dont move like real players). There have been loads of changes to Pro 2010 gameplay, which has appeared to have put some people off – it isnt as arcade-like, it is a bit harder. HOWEVER I really feel that Pro is SPOT ON this time around with gamepley, and graphics are great too – FIFA is a good in its own way, and I do loathe it a lot less that I did last time, but Pro still has my vote for this year.
had fifa 10 for a week, its shocking. the attacking is retarded, there is no way of beating defenders with the ball at your feet, even with the best attackers like ronaldo and messi. fifa 09 was soooooooo much better. im trading in for pro ev 2010 this week. i advise all who havent bought either game yet to defo avoid fifa.
personally i think that pes is better for playing on the pc as some of today’s consoles cn’t support the same grafiks, butfifa definately foor other consoles
