Never mind all the nay-sayers who seemingly love to come out the woodwork & make stuff up for each PES/FIFA release depending on what mood they're in.
And never mind the folks saying it's so easy to score, when all they play is Barcelona/Manure/Chelski.
For someone who's played and enjoyed previous PES games, this game is the best yet. Legend mode is the most fun I've had playing footy on the PC and hasn't crashed - and I'm in my 3rd season.
It's an amazing game, and I'm amazed by all the doomcryers, or is that just cryers, screaming about how it's not the game for them. Shame that like.
Ive just tried the PC version of Fifa 09, and its the worst football game I've ever played, its shoddy and poorly put together in every respect, plays the worst game of football possible.
I'm not really fussed about which is prettier, what does PES play like?
I have noticed the above and I've only been playing the demo for a hour or so- Player switching is somehow worse than it's ever been.
- passing is so poor now, with the ball frequently going to completely the wrong player. Or through balls going at the most ridiculous angles when a simple ball would have put you through on goal.
- I've seen a red card for my team or the COM in pretty much every other game so far, even though there's hardly been a bad tackle.
- Goalkeepers are woeful. Parrying the ball to the opposition, standing watching the ball roll past them I even managed to just pass the ball through the keepers legs while he did the splits to let it trundle in at the near post - the worst thing being i wasn't even shooting, i was trying to pass accross the 6 yard box to my unmarked striker.
- Players constantly refuse to react to a loose ball, or are stunned for a second after a minor collision. Meanwhile, the COM team are completely unaffected.They also run past the ball, or don't react to intercept as a pass goes right in front of them.
- Seems that often i'll play a through pass behind the defense, only for my striker to refuse to run for a brief period allowing the defenders to easily catch him.

Complain about chanting? ...gimme a break, just play the game.
I've just been playing the fifa demo and I found fifa is ok, but I like some stuff in PES better
The graphics seem better in PES and the camera angle & replays seem better.
Because of the graphics, I really want to like PES but the gameplay doesn't seem to be quite there, mostly due to the bugs people mentioned above. I'm still not sure which one to buy tho
I think I'll probably just leave them both installed and play between them
how can anyone say legends mode is fun, the lack of control you have over the game is appauling. The passes all go astray etc, and thats when computer controlled players do pass to you.
It would be much better if you could do what you do on fifa, call for ball to feet, call for through ball, call for shot, call for lobbed ball. Fair enough if Pes wants the realistic game approach, more of a sim, that would be great if the AI wasnt so utterly ****.
