Hey guys, I downloaded both Fifa 09 & PES 2009 demo for the pc. Played both of them and can't come to a conclusion of which one to buy. I'm an ardent Fifa fan so it is normal for me to choose the Fifa 09. But i was pretty impressed with the PES 2009's gameplay and with the champions league addition. There are a few factors i am contemplating on.
Fifa has all the licensing for all the teams with team names, kits, stadiums, manager mode & etc. This is a huge plus point as every detail will be accurate. However, in PES we can't even get to see the details of a team like Blackburn Rovers with team name as Lancashire and they don't have the normal sponsors on the kits. Even for the champions league in PES i've heard that most of the teams do not have the original names and kits. This is a disappointment in PES. Even the German leagues do not have their original names. Despite all the itinery it lacks, they make an impact on this year's graphics, player models (accurate faces) and most importantly the great and flowing gameplay and ball physics.
Fifa 09 gameplay has improved with the AI being smarter. Next-gen graphics for PC and players on the demo looked great with even sweat and veins of the players can be seen. They have a nice turf. But the size of the ball looked slightly oversized. With all these nice things on Fifa it still doesn't give the satisfaction of PES gameplay. Despite FIFA trying to add realism in their gameplay, somewhat somewhere i still feel the gameplay is still a bit artificial. There are so many pros n cons for both the game. While reading the reviews it seems that FIFA came out on top which makes me prone closer to fifa. Am i making the right choice? Hope someone can help me to clear my confusion and guide me to the ideal game. Please help!!
Cheers
