    More than likely FIFA, but I'll give both demos a go and see which feels better. Have to get FIFA anyway because of certain projects I'd like to work on...

    Not at all. Considering I've been following closely every update for both games this year and I've seen more gameplay fluidity and better animations from FIFA 12 but more realistic gameplay and better tournaments from PES 2012.

    Being a Southamerican, I was thrilled that they finally included the Copa Libertadores on PES 2011.

    Another thing that I've seen bad from FIFA are the servers though I don't play online that much.

    I'm never pushed by licenses. Old Pro Evo's had little to nothing but were amazing games. Think Konami need to decide if they want to go sim based or arcade based.

    FIFA servers have been iffy - apparently moving to Europe (from Canada I believe). Not much good to yourself, but hopefully fixes my problems :D

    Have been a FIFA fan all along, never liked PES. Won't be getting any this year though because I'm sick of tiny changes being made and bigger problems that weren't present making it in.

    If the PES demo is any good ill probably get it this year, last years one was alright but still not great. Much preferred Fifa 11, if Fifa 12 gameplay is similiar to 11 i might get PES for a change

    I might download the Pro Evo demo to see how it is this year. Haven't played it since 2010. I was put off it by the awful, awful penalty system. If the demos any good I'll get it as well as Fifa

    Dunno if I'll be getting either this year to be honest. PES has been awful since the move to PS3/360 and while FIFA has been good, the small changes they make every year aren't enough to warrant a purchase.

    If Pro Evo turns out to be good then I'll definitely buy it.

    Meh Fifa 11 was poor this year and full of bugs that were never fixed.

    Il get fifa 12 simply for the fact theres more of a community playing it and I make a few quid playing Fifa but I expect numerous bugs and faults with 12 as I had with 11.

    Really? When was that? A lot of FIFA fans have told me their game has been the better one since 09.
    I got Pro Evo 2011 months ago and have been enjoying it a lot. I like the gameplay but the animations need work, especially the keeper animations.

    BAL mode is awesome as well as the Master League. Right now doing a league with Barcelona.

    Even though I had to download a patch that fixed all players and teams to the more resembling ones, I got tired of that and I can see some players don't look like their real life counterparts.

    I only ever kept playing Pro Evo for that mode. Much better than Be a Pro in Fifa IMO

    I'm going to sit on the fence this year and wait and see what the complaints are like.

    Not really a FIFA fan, but may try it if it gets glowing reviews a month or two after release.

    PES was my fave but it's not done enough to keep me interested in the last few years.

    If neither look great I'll skip both of them...

    PSN, XBL and PC today (based on preview code shown at GamesCom, so the keepers aren't as good and the passing isn't as free, as well as other issues).

    New demo, based on final code, released on all 3 in September as well.

    Honestly, no idea.

    I think XBL updates are around 5, but I can't remember, I only ever care around PES Demo time! As for PSN, I thought UK was up and running, and I thought UK and Ireland were the same store. Not sure what time they will be released in Ireland, but Konami have said the demo will def be on XBL today (and PSN)

    Get both demos and decide for yourself. It's the only way. Online in pro evo is woeful, it was better on the ps2. Every year they drop a few options that were in the previous game for some reason.

    I've had them all, the current one is the only decent one.

    PSN is due today, if not out already, but I am hearing there maybe problems with the XBL version. Rumblings that it might be Friday before it is released....

    Played PES religiously up until PES2008. FIFA 08 has taken over since then for me.

    I'll definitely get FIFA 12 on release. Usually end up picking up PES for a knockdown price later on in the year. Will be sooner if the demo is very impressive.
