I am just curious to your reasons on this... it seems like for most people it's all about the licenses and they don't really see anything wrong with the gameplay even when comparing it to pes/we. So if all you FIFA fans can give me your main reasons that would be great. I am just curious to see what makes you guys chose FIFA over PES/WE.

And please don't bash either game, I don't want this to turn into a fifa vs pes/we discussion...

well i converted to a pes player in easter this year. Its a great game and imo the fifa gameplay cant compete at all. I am probably going to buy pes5 next easter too after i am bored of fifa.

My reasons for getting fifa are the licenses. Everything is there and i dont have to download millions of patches before the game is good enough. I support Norwich which is why it was quite easy to get a realistic squad on pes4. but now they are in the championship all the patching etc and editing the game would be too difficult.

I have a question myself, why don't you guys start matching FIFA and PES to real football rather than eachother? because no game is like the real thing. :)

Oh btw please don't say PES is the real thing because I could name many reasons why it isnt.

i have played fifa since 99, my first pesgame was pes3,i enjoyed both type of the games,but the difference is,fifa don't have to be patched!u can play the original and still have the feeling of playing a game that is "finished",with pes u have to download 3-400mb before u can begin to enjoy the game!
the game play is better on pes,but fifa is coming "slowly" the right way!
i proberly get fifa 06,play it until spring and get pes5,play it until fifa07,and so on!
I can see why people choose pes over fifa,but in my case i always get the new fifa before i get the new pes,i guess it just become a tradition!

Probably as PES is the closest we are getting to the feeling of real football, as in ball physics and response of the players.

Tell me why so many pro footballers play PES instead of FIFA?

Answer - Because it's more like real football!

I have not yet seen one proffesional player come out and say I always play FIFA when i'm chilling out, because what i've seen is they all play PES.

Now if only EA could do the Sound and Menu's and Konami did the Graphics Gameplay and Ball Physics, we would have the closest game to footie.

FIFA still sucks big time! :kader:

because both games are trying to achieve the same thing, thats making a soccer game that comes as close as possible to the real thing.
This is the pes vs fifa forum, and we are here to compare which game is doing better in achieving this goal.

Pros of Pro Evo are:

Graphics
Gameplay
Ball Physics
Player Response

Cons of Pro Evo
few licences
the layout of it (it was designed for the ps2 and so alot of it is control based, i'd rather be able to use my mouse)
Music is keek

Pros of FIFA
Licences
Modes
Layout and Music

Cons:
Player models and kits look horrible
Graphics are dodgey
gameplay is a bit arcade like and unrealistic, too easy.


So basically if you want a simulation game you should get pro evo though I do agree that it's a bit of a pain having to patch it so much. FIFA is fine if you just want to edit and play with real teams in real leagues.

Wot a prize plonker!
And quote the players who have said that! And then make sure you have done a survey amongst a large qauntity of players to see if any play Fifa, because if ANY even 1 play Fifa it shows what a stupid point you make.
Oh, and they prolly play PES to learn something about the real game eh?
Plonker!

That tells me about your leanings already and I find it a bit condescending to people who are able to make their own choice. Those 2 paragraphs really dont fit in the same post.
And cant you see anything wrong with the gameplay in PES? As someone who plays both Fifa and PES but will probably stick with Fifa 2006 on the strenth of the demo. I dont feel I need to explain to you my reasons.
Why this thread other than to do the 'I think your stupid and I cant understand why you choose an inferior product, but help me to understand so we PES people can quietly snigger at you and your too dumb to realize...haaa haaa''.

For the first time ever im going to be buying FIFA, im amazed im doing it, but im not going to not buy it just coz its got FIFA on it...........i actually enjoyed the demo........the gameplay is much better IMO, but it was the atmosphere and commentry in the game that sold me on it.

I see it like this, PES has a bigstick, that stick is the ball physics, player physics, general gameplay and freedom you feel you have when in control, its a nice feeling, BUT the rest of the game is not evolving..............seems as tho PES is all about gameplay and thats it, the sound and commentry to be totally honest is way below average and frankly its not good enough, not to mention the thorn in the side over licensing...........enough is enough!!, people out there will say its all aboutgameplay..........bollocks!!........... gameplay is a part of it not the whole thing, hearing the reactions to what you are doing with the ball is very satisfying and can make the game very emotional, and exciting like a real game..............PES for me has ignored this important side to the game, and shame on them for basically not working on it.............commentry, crowd, and music are poor, so poor infact im buying FIFA for sure.............and i give them credit for bringing out a far superior product this year, unlike PES, who IMO havnt done a great deal, honestly...........if you think PES5 is a leap over PES4, then you are easily pleased or just so in bed with PES youre blind..........i expected alot more, and im not talking about gameplay, we all know its good, better than FIFA's, but im not happy KONAMI have sat on what is good in the game and let the rest slide, one day it will be there downfall, with FIFA chomping at the bit, ..................my hat is off to FIFA for giving it a good go, all they need is the freedom of gameplay, which is getting there, the rest is there, in abundance then PES will be doing the catching up.

To sum up, why am i getting FIFA this year, because of this............its a more complete package, its crappy gameplay has stopped me buying it in the past, and thats all that stopped me, this year its much better, simply im having fun with it.

PES5 with the great gameplay but arcadey everything else is starting to annoy me, you cant have too much of a good thing, so KONAMI stop sitting on your BIGSTICK and improve the rest of the game, your failings are obvious to me and my money this year is not yours, your fault!!

Yup. That's the pitfalls of sports games. It can't match the unpredictability of the real sport. The players and the way the game moves have a certain structure.

Just got Fifa 2006 and it sux big time. The same thing as all the other fifa games. The cpu run the exact same way all the time, the shots are retarded, the graphics are horrible with that stupid lightning effect, the kits look like they are painted etc.

PES is so superior! I don't understand why EA even try?! Too bad we have to wait another month for PES5.

It feels like they just made this game (fifa 06) to kill some time...But I think Fifa 06 will be really cool for the XBOX 360.

Else i could compare PES to a washing machine - no point in doing that (by second thought im not that sure anymore!)
