I couldn't get past the team choosing screen on the PES demo. I had to restart my PS3 3 times before it worked.

well I have both and I can't really say which one I play more to be honest.

PES I play because I'm attached to the Master League team that I'm "nurturing" and that is one aspect of that game that is very addictive to me.
- Goalies are absolute poo in PES - they constantly baffle logic with their saves and palm balls down into the path of other attackers (or into own net). Its very frustrating.
- Your own team AI could be better, especially on defence. They will not move to stop an attacker under any circumstances, in fact they'll often run away from them, so it causes a lot of heart-ache trying to be everywhere in defence by manually switching.
- I find that dribbling is a little easier on PES than in FIFA.
- Graphics are definately not next gen and look very much cartoonish and second rate to FIFA (even though you'll have sites claiming facial likeness to be better on PES than FIFA, when you see the in-game presentation and substitution scenes and replays, FIFA is just worlds apart (even though it has glad-wrap wet look to most players skins))
- Patch that was released improves the gameplay slightly (standing tackles can now be pulled off with some success and cards aren't issued willy nilly)
- Overall its no FIFA's match in terms of graphics, although gameplay is very much a personal taste thing and I play both and like them for different reasons (PES is as frustrating as all hell though!!! But even that can become addictive)

cont'd....

- Commentary, looks of the pitch, players, substitution scenes, authentic teams, kits and line-ups make FIFA a very polished article.

- FIFA gameplay is SLOW compared to PES - personal preference for what you like more but its very satisfying to play nevertheless
- Goalies actually offer value in FIFA and do their job quite well (in PES you hope that your goalie saves, in FIFA you know it has to be quite a good attack to beat them)
- Defending corners is much easier in FIFA than in PES
- Skill moves are pretty useless and don't fool CPU players much at all so you tend to stick to the basics if you want to keep the ball

If I had to choose I'd go for FIFA because there's nothing like hearing commentators scream your striker's name as he has a crack - DROGBAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!! Its very addictive and you find yourself repeating the war cry long after commentators have moved on

Anyway, sorry about the War&Peace length of the post here - apparently I have lots to say on the issue!!! Didn't even know it myself

cheers

PS - Demos don't do either game justice, which is really unfortunate cause it kind of defeats the whole purpose of a DEMO!!! Hmmmm

Its been a while since this thread was active but I'm looking at trading my copy of PES2008 this week... for FIFA08. This is a big call for me as I've been a Pro Evo man since the ISS days on the PS1. However, the PS3 version is awful, a horrible let down. Offline is OK (if you can get past the shabby presentation and menus) but some of the changes like the super quick wingers / strikers make the game play uneven, and don't even get me started on the online play, what a shambles and not worth the disc its written on. I've never had an online that has been worth playing for more then 10 secs.

One issue I believe could make the trade an issue is that a new owner of my copy of the game will need to use my passowrd to register the game online (if they so wish) but I'm happy to put a post-it with the info in the box for them if they need it.

So, FIFA08. Given the previous comments on this thread it sounds like it ticks all the boxes on presentation, etc (as it always does). I'm unsure on gameplay but willing to give it a go. Couple of questions first though:

1. Can I reconfigure the buttons to match PES?

2. I've got a reasonably quick ADSL 2+ connection, what are my chances of getting a decent, quick, lag free game online (in Aus and with my mates in the UK)?

3. Has anyone had any problems getting PES2008 traded-in?

Any thoughts or experiences on the above will be much appreciated.

Yep...always been a Pro Evo boy myself but recently played FIFA08 and I must say it was awesome. Nothing like i remember FIFA games being and now im addicted to it. The depth, gameplay and visuals are amazing and i would now recommend FIFA over Pro Evo

never played evo, im an old school fifa fan. im pretty sure the controls to fifa 08 are set controls and cannot be changed, but they are fairly easy to pick up i found and i hadnt played fifa much since 94 bit more complicated getting the tricky **** to work. never had too much online trouble. only sometimes getting the match started.

Another Pro Evo person here. PES08 is the biggest stinking pile of crap i have played. It's buggy, laggy and just lost the total fun-ess of a pro evo title. I'll give them a shot in PES09 but i will probably trade my 08 version for FIFA just for this year.

Totally agree. Previous PES games completely pwnd the FIFA games in terms of gameplay (which is the most important aspect of a game like soccer). They perfected the engine pretty much. But their first foray into the next gen has been a disaster, even the head developer of konami agreed that PES08 was definitely not what they wanted. I believe they were rushed to get it out.

Will still give them another shot in 09 though but will be more tentative at first (ie wait a couple of weeks to see what people think of it).
