Soda Jerk Posted October 2, 2008 Report Share Posted October 2, 2008 Out Tomorrow! Exciting times, especially since the PES series hasn't released a good version since PES4 and the last PES installment was quite shambolic.Man, I love Fifa.Looking forward to the Be A Pro Career mode. I hope it's a mode they keep on improving instead of ditching like they did with the 5-a-side mode on Fifa 97/98. That was ace, and despite a tiny goal mouth, it was still piss easy to score.FOOTBALL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soda Jerk Posted October 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2008 Never properly enjoyed Pro Evo myself. It seems too rigid and flat. It's very arcade-y and often comes across like a glorified Virtua Striker from the Dreamcast. PES4 is a good fun game to play with friends, but there's no longevity in the single player mode, so it's pretty boring. The PES games after No.4 were so badly put together, the gameplay was just terrible. PES08 being the worst by miles.Also, there's no Sheffield Wednesday on Pro Evo, so it can get to fuck.Anyway, this thread is about Fifa. Not International Soccerstar Big Match Supergoals Deluxe XVII.

KarmaTsunami Posted October 2, 2008 Report Share Posted October 2, 2008 Played the demo for Fifa 09 on the ps3 with my bro, and it looks fucking ace. Can't wait to play the full version! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted October 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 PES 2009 looks amazing, cant wait for it.It looks better than 2008, that's for sure. The gameplay will still be too rigid and stiff for it to be as fluid as Fifa though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huntedbyafreak Posted October 3, 2008 Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 As fluid as Fifa? Ha! Played the demo for the new one and I've never been so bored during a football game! The only thing I would take from it is the shooting practice from the loading scenes and the licenses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Mac Posted October 3, 2008 Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 Just bought this at lunchtime.... will play tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing I would take from it is the shooting practice from the loading scenes and the licenses.Fair enough. Go buy Pro Evo and enjoy your rigid, lifeless, japanese arcade football where the players run like robots. Even more robotic in the North East London versus Highbury Reds derby. A classic match!

waltz Posted October 3, 2008 Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 I'm usually a PES man but I've played the new Fifa and it's absolutely brilliant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Mac Posted October 4, 2008 Report Share Posted October 4, 2008 It is excellent. Played it loads last night. And a bit today.Will get more into it next week. The live updating of player stats is quite good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossP Posted October 5, 2008 Report Share Posted October 5, 2008 Always been a Pro Evo man, but after playing the new PES09 demo i'm starting to get tempted into crossing over to FIFA. Downloading the FIFA demo on the Xbox just now to have a go before I commit to buying... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted October 5, 2008 Report Share Posted October 5, 2008 Took it home earlier today and got beat by my girlfriend on penalties. Got my own back in the next game though, seems pretty good but I haven't been keeping up to date with football games for a few years.

KarmaTsunami Posted October 5, 2008 Report Share Posted October 5, 2008 My brother beat me the first couple games we played...after I beat him on penalties in the demo as well....I think it's grand, although the awarding of points/badges in lounge mode is a bitty different. Took more points than him in the first game after being beat 2-1... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Posted October 10, 2008 Report Share Posted October 10, 2008 Yeah I've been having that same problem (in the game), until last night when I thumped a friend 3-0, mostly due to some terrible marking on his part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheTickingTime-Bomb Posted October 10, 2008 Report Share Posted October 10, 2008 I wouldn't worry too much about being converted, unless you like hollow, half-made games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted October 10, 2008 Report Share Posted October 10, 2008 Someone should set up an Aberdeen Music league.Ignoring all the PES snobs that seem to have turned up in this thread I've gone and created a league.It's cunningly entitled Aberdeen Music and the password is c1oud5uxmax 15 teams (doubt we'll fill it), playing 3 times. Could take a while...And BTW you'll probably want to pick a good team. Don't do what I did in another league and join up with the dons only to find out everyone's chosen Barca, Chelsea and Arsenal.

RossP Posted October 10, 2008 Report Share Posted October 10, 2008 I'll join on sunday, but i'm still not very good. Can destroy most on PES, but this is my first foray into Fifa... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
