FIFA 2005/UCL 2005 VS PES 4/WE8i

[Jen]

Gameplay
FIFA 05/UCL 05
Well the gameplay is OK. Not good, not horrible. The players runs as if they're businessmen running in streets. Their arms dangle crazily. The passing system is bad. The passing is a joke. When a player passes a ball, the receiver just stands, watching the ball rolling towards them. When the ball is crossed in, no matter how tall or how good the player is, he can hardly score a header. The defenders always clear it. In FIFA 05, when a player shoots, he suddenly slows down his pace, then shoots like a rocket. The ball doesn't turn at all. In UCL 05, at least the ball turns. The freekick system sucks in both games. the formula is: HIT the point, then GOAL!!! Not special reqired, and it's not realastic. Now the corner system. In FIFA 05, it's scripted. Always the goalkeeper comes out and grabs the ball. In UCL 05, the same things happens if the ball is near the keeper. The movements of the goalkeppers are the same. No matter who he is, he stiill do the same things. If there's a low ball coming, they always let it in. In addition, First Touch introduced in FIFA 05 is not that good. Neither is No-ball.

PES 4/WE8i
The gameplay is very nice. The players run like the ones on TV. Their passes arre not 100% accurate, so you have to control the receiver to get the ball. When the ball is crossed, the chance you win the ball is 50%. However, only 15% of the headers can turn into goals, which is not very realastic. The shooting system is brilliant. The shots can be affected by the dominant feet of the players, and also the points of curling. The freekick and corner system are similar. They are just like the shooting system, which is more realastic the FIFA's. There're some problems with the goalkeepers. When the ball just passes, or even hits the posts, they have no reaction. Are they too frightened?

Result: PES 4/WE8i wins

Graphics
FIFA 2005/UCL 2005
The stadiums are quite good. They are detail, and the names of the stadiums are shown on the screens. However, all the pitches look the same. The faces of the players are bad. They are obviously generated by computer, and lots of weak players share the same face. In addition, in UCL 05, the thumbs of the manager in Season Mode look horrible!

PES 4/WE8i
The stadiums are as good as FIFA's. They are detail, and the most important thing, is all the pitches are different. The faces of the players are not repeated, and all of them look great---except for Silvestre's. I fing out in the replay that in a certain distance, his face will turn into a mask.

Result: PES 4/WE8i wins

Final Results
A football game focuses on the things happening in the pitches, so that gameplay is hte most important. Great graphics can attract people to play. Remember, gameplay is THE MOST IMPROTANT, not the number of teams or players.

That means... ... ... ...PES/WE WINS!!!

the graphics are much better in PES3/PES4 and WE7/WE8 than in any fifa.

fifa games had lost the sharpness and clearness (lol) of the image since fifa 2001...

the only things that fifa have better is the SOUND (atmosphere and commentary) and the licences.

but licenses lost the sense wiithout good gameplay and there is the Wolf Patch for PES/WE8 that make the game just brilliant...

I respect your opinion but I disagree with it. The passing system in Fifa 05 is one of the smoothest in the series. Even PES fans agree to this. Read the review from Spurs. For ball watching, PES suffers worst. At least in Fifa you can escape with the first touch control. You can score with headers; in fact many ppl have complain that most goals comes from headers.

Your statement is basically skewed towards PES. A very biased opinion. I am not defending Fifa. I play both games and find that each has their pros and cons. In my opinion, just enjoy them; don't make comparison.

here we go, another shaft to deal with..

There is no need for such remarks. With ppl like you around, who need enemies. You are good, very good indeed, in provoking others with your words. Unfortunately, this won't work on me. Nice try.

We,re comparing against We not the fifa series. Against previous series yes improvement, but against WE no offence but its still That was a bit exxagerated. there are places u cant pass to and passes are not fluid nor are they accurate.

I agree with you that there is room for improvement but it is not really that bad as you alleged. I am able to pass the ball around pretty accurately. Play it on fast mode and you can do passing fluidly. Against WE, the passing in fifa 05 in my opinion is smoother. There tend to be a response lag in the control in WE.

As said earlier, I enjoy both games.

 

[Rocky]

seriously, what response lag i dont get any response lag

 

[Magic_Mushrooms]

UCL 05 craps all over PES series, any moron with slightest clue in football can tell.

 

[SuRFy]

WHAT RESPONSE LAG!!??!

Get a brain, and while you are at it take Konamis dick out of your ass and you'll feel better.
PES is not even in the same league as UCL '05, UCL '05 beats it in every aspect by miles, from gameplay to commentary to graphics.

I seriously don`t blame you, you`re an American so I completely understand where you coming from.

Like I said PLEASE continue with your insults and you`ll end up being banned like many of FIFA fans.
