I laughed for probably five minutes at your encounter with Totti, Al. Some things are just destiny.

I’m a diehard PES fan, but the most recent version is such a waste of money, considering that it is definitely the same thing as 2008 except it now has the Champions League (really neat addition, but not worth the 50 dollars). The AI has also been proved to be really cheap when you’re in the lead. I remember tackling Totti outside the box and he still headed the ball in.

to me fifa 09 was pretty good…for fifa (they can’t help but make it unresponsive and ridiculously unadaptive to lag)…then after ultimate team update it REALLY got screwed up.

it’s basically unplayable now to me.

I was a big fan of FIFA up until 2005. I found a ‘Winning Eleven’ game in a blockbuster and played it.

George, the idea had not crossed my mind. I’m sure I could.

na vic the penalties are always taken to the opposite side the of the players foot, eg, a right footer kicks it to the left, players can do it in a way it is impossible to save. if you mix it up, go left then right then centre fine i just hate it when it happens cause the keeper can never save it…gets fustrating

I used to play PES but this year’s edition is basically the same as the last two years, it just doesn’t cut it with me anymore. Fifa is doing fine, there are some things in that game that really annoy me, since I know players don’t behave like that in real life but whatever, also Marcus, people throwing penalties that are can’t be saved is also something that players try to do in real life…no one feels more like a loser than when your penalty shot is saved.

I’ve only ever owned FIFA.
FIFA 09 is great thought i only play it on-line and thats starting to shit me up the wall. (use to play manager mode but sooooooooo boring)
Everyone on-line plays with either the big 4 EPL teams or Barca etc., they play with ronaldo as striker just cause hes the quickest, i absolutely hate when you play someone and that have 7 man defence with 2 midfielders and a striker, its so boring as soon as you attack they counter and due to the acceleration of Ronaldo, torres etc. they score…..its unrealistic, no one plays like that in real life!!
I think the Live stats was a good concept but its bullshit, i notice certain players are constantly over inflated (top 4 in EPL) it annoys me how torres can score 2 goals against Wigan and go past 90 in stats but a less known player does it and they hardly go up.
I Mean Marco Motta for example, has been great for Roma this season, hasnt gone over 75.
I also hate penalty shoot outs because ppl take them so they are unsavable, and also when morons score straight from kick off.
thats my probs with it anyways

I have been buying PES since the Winning Eleven 8, and FIFA off and on since 2000. It should be noted that I own games for the PS2 and Wii systems.

I love the heaping amounts of licenses that EA gets, especially when you can do full-on relegation and promotion battles in the manager mode…especially as it pertains to England. But I dislike the distance on the camera.

I love the customisation of PES. I always create a team, designing the crest and strips. Easily the most fun of any mode. I also love the depth of competition, especially on the next gen consoles. Though I would love it more if the Wii offered shirt-pulling and diving as options.

I’m a devotee of PES, and will be. But I love going into Europe on FIFA.
