fifa 09 vs pro evo 09

emurphy

I just saw a trailer for fifa 09 and it looks great. Im a pro evo fan but am torn which to get this time round. I currently have pro evo 6 and have played pro evo 08 a lot too. Both quality games. Online is very laggy with pro evo 6 which annoys me.
Whats fifa like online?? Which should title should I buy next??
Pros and cons please.

No idea what the new game will be like. No idea what online play is like on existing games. But the answer has to be Fifa...

Normally, I'd be Pro Evo. I've been choosing it since ISS on the N64. However, since the next gen consoles launched, and have since become just 'gen' consoles, PES has done nothing. PES6 was half the game it was on the PS2. PES2008 was dull. The best football game I've played since the 360 was lauched was UEFA 2008.

Both games will be out without a week or two of each other, and I will get one, and it's looking like FIFA 09 all the way, as I think I saw that PES is still using the same engine as previous games. At least FIFA is trying, and while people may dislike EA, they've done a great job with FIFA over the past 2 or 3 years, improving the game and tighening it up. Plus they can do online. Konami haven't gotten the foggiest how to make an online footie game.

Just wait until the games are out and make your own mind up.

The thread is to see where things have gone since pes 06 which I have. I'm a fan since N64 version like one of the others who replied but I'm just wondering where to go next. Theres been a good few changes since then and this thread was just to get a feel for where people have been siding and where the they may go this time round. But I have to say good imput just saying its a stupid thread. Your obviously a clever chappie.:rolleyes:

Because PES2008 was so much different that PES6!? FIFA 07 was so much different that FIFA 08? Based on trends over the last few years, previews etc, it looks like FIFA has the best chance in a longer time of not only being the best selling (which it always is), but actually being the best game.

I am in the same opinion as you. Normally I wouldnt give Fifa a chance but this year I will. I have been dissappointed with PES6 and PES2008 mainly with online play it has to be said. I tried Euro 2008 and it was enjoyable not quite as fast paced as PES is but good none the less.
Im undecided until I play some demos and read reviews of the final versions.

Agreed, wait till people have played both games before asking for recommendations.

If you hate these threads dont waste your time reading them and more to the point dont waste your precious time posting back on them if you dislike them so much.

That said...
If you have a constructive answer that incorporates past games experience and previews out (which there are btw, I just viewed a video preview of Fifa 09 for example and it looks fantastic) then by all means give your thoughts if not just dont bother. I'm sure you could find better use for your time.

I am the same as you both ISS N64 as far as ProEvo2008, then I got fifa 08 and at the start didnt like it much but got used to it and now its all I play throw in Pro Evo the odd time but very odd. I will be buying FIFA on release day this year if I can spare the funds and its up to Pro Evo to make me want need to buy it.

an arcadey Pro evo similar to the ISS 64 would be a nice change in direction. plus i think i heard that Seabass admitted their real next-gen pro evo wont be rady until next year.

There's no way PES is going to improve enough after the shambles that was PES 2008 in my view. I was an ultra-biased PES fan before 2008 came out, despite its multitude of flaws i stuck with it. Then I tried Euro 2008 and found that it shat all over PES 2008 in every way and it's a near certainty that the new FIFA will do the same (going on the preview code of PES 2009 and trustworthy previews so far)

FIFA has:
1, better graphics
2, better gameplay (slower & more realistic than PES)
3, online play is flawless (on PES it's shocking)
4, way more to do (be a pro, 10 v 10 online)
5, lots more stadiums and teams (not as important, but still very nice)

Konami are taking the piss out of their loyal customers and it's quite disgraceful really!

Listen PRo Evo 08 is the exact same as 07 and 06

The same goes with FIFA

Who cares just write over 08 with 09 on the front of the box and its the same thing anyways

Pro Evo. EA are not getting my money, simple as.

Have you actually played any of them? only someone who knew squat would say something like that.

Even if PES 2009 is really, really bad?

Any sign of a Fifa demo lads? Really really considering switching from my ultra PES fan boy to trying out FIFA this year tbh.

If I get word of it being bad, I won't buy either. I'd rather have nothing then give EA money.

Is that just EA for Fifa or are you just coming out with a very rash statement about EA in general and wouldnt buy anything with EA on it?? Seems a bit crazy if that is the case. Theres plenty of good EA games.
