Yup, FIFA 07 is not bad. The gameplay now gets pass marks and with aspects of PES gameplay decending into farce in recent years, PES is no longer that far ahead. Indeed, there are many things in the FIFA gameplay which PES sadly lacks.
And when it comes to all the other things that make a good football game, FIFA is easily ahead. Manager mode, loads of teams, loads of great options, better gfx, sound, commentary, atmosphere, makes PES look shoddy and stagnant.
PES on-pitch gameplay is overall, still ahead, but FIFA is now the better overall package. EA are clearly the ones putting in the most effort. If they can nail the physics and continue to add depth to the AI, they'll be overtaking PES for all but the PES fanboys.
