While the PES commentary team of Jon Champion and Mark Lawrenson by no means represents a disastrous pairing, the scripts they follow are frankly awful and the same one-liners become an incredible annoyance. Not just on a personnel level either, the conversations between Tyler and Gray seem natural and relevant, mimicking exactly what is unfolding on the pitch. ![]() The commentary on PES, while a marked improvement on previous versions, still falls well short of FIFA’s duo of Andy Gray and Martin Tyler. What about the sound on offer? Well again it’s a FIFA victory for me. Needless to say, if you are the hardcore football gamer that wants realism epitomised then FIFA is the way forward for you. In all fairness it does depend on personal taste but FIFA’s gameplay certainly offers that element of realism as opposed to the swifter, free-flowing and almost arcade like PES. In terms of arguably the most important aspect, gameplay, I certainly get the impression that FIFA feels like more of a challenge where you get a sense of accomplishment simply by putting together a move and getting that shot off at goal. Until Konami challenge FIFA for the rights for the licensing rights, PES will always come out second best in this particular battle. With PES we still have to accept the likes of West Midland Village and Yorkshire Orange while FIFA can boast the latest kits, stadiums and club badges with up to date transfers to boot. Although when it comes down to licenses there is absolutely no competition whatsoever. While PES has undoubtedly improved its look, where players and stadiums appear increasingly life-like, FIFA still takes some beating for me. ![]() Ok so first and foremost let’s get a discussion about graphics and licenses out of the way. So with expectations at an all-time high for PES supporters, could Konami deliver with PES 2009 and wrestle the title back from EA’s clutches? Up until last year, the folks at Konami could bask in the limelight of eclipsing their fierce rivals over at EA Sports but after a disastrous PES 2008, FIFA had arguably edged in front. Yes FIFA was aesthetically spot on but when it came down to gameplay and overall customer satisfaction there was only one winner. It is, of course, FIFA vs PES.įor many years Pro Evolution Soccer was widely considered the top dog when it came to football games. It separates millions around the world and the mere mention of one or the other will either bring a smile to your face or make your blood boil depending on your allegiance. Although arguably of even more intensity is a rivalry that stems away from the pitch and onto a video game console. Liverpool vs Manchester United, Inter vs AC Milan and Barcelona vs Real Madrid to name but a few.
