FIFA 10v10 vs. PES Legends Comments by Martin Korda

FIFA FTW!

Hahaha, PES is attack minded arcadey football :D

"So with both games clearly possessing their merits, which one should you opt for? Well, that depends on what you're after. If you're looking for a fairly un-taxing and forgiving footy kick about with a heavy bias towards attacking, then PES is probably your best bet. But if you're after the most lifelike, tactical and ultimately rewarding multiplayer online football experience around, then FIFA wins by a clear distance."

It's really funny reading that... five years ago those two games would have been the other way round! PES in the eyes of many reviewers has become the new FIFA. Oh how times have changed!

What happens if some ball bag drops out half way through a game? Does AI take over or is there a player stood there for the rest of the match?

I played 10 vs 10 a few times, the camera angle bugs me, because i've always played with the default angle (can't remember what's called).

Played in central midfield, its very fast paced, once you get the ball you've only got a split second to deciede what to do before your being hounded.

Seems to take a while to actually start the game, as a lot of people keep messing around changing status from ready to unready then dropping out etc.

Overall not bad, spose its just like anything else, takes practice and all that. Would be good to play with mates etc but I prefer the normal multiplayer, even though i'm not that good. I've won more than i've lost but having trouble scoring from a distance (seen a lot of people with the score from 30 yards out achievement) Also i've only scored from a cross twice...anybody got any tips?

What about if you are looking to play with your mates online vs the CPU?
Pro Evo only.

/is still baffled that fifa doesnt have this...

@mcbi4kh2
They wear longer shorts these days so you'll be fine, so don't wor....... oh, sorry. I misunderstood.

haha, very funny. I realised the way what I said may be taken after I'd posted it but thought I'd leave it in for comedy value. Any one know the real answer? Can you join a game half way through? Im not a very patient fellow and 5 minutes is far, far too long.

You can change the camera to the standard view, and even have the choice of centering it on either the player you're controlling or the ball by pressing select. Playing it like this is an absoloute revelation in my opinion. It's better than controlling the entire team in a 1 v 1 game.

Yes, the AI takes control of any quitters (or positions that weren't filled to start with, since it's possible to go with less than 20 players if everyone's ready).

Can you join a game half way through?

No.

@Aretak - Cheers mate, should of taken a look to see if you could change it.

Havent played a full 10v10 match yet, but 3v3 is an absolute hoot in FiFA 09...I havent laughed so much in ages :)

@Aretak cheers bud, gonna give it a go tonight me thinks.

@cozenezoc
'fraid not, it wont let you start the game unless someone is on the opposing team :(

Happens a lot but not a problem at all. Before the game each player can choose one of 11 roles: the 10 outfields and an "any" role. If you choose a specific role, that's who you are for the rest of the game. If you're "any" you'll switch between all non-human controlled players. More than one person can play "any".

So to answer your question if someone drops one of two things happens. Either the "any" players just take control or, if there aren't any, the computer takes over.

My only criticism is that there really is no decent camera view for playing as a defender. Thinking about it though, you'd probably need a complete view of the pitch to ever get that.

'you'll be staggering around like a three-legged dog after a kick in the tits'

As Andy Gray would say: 'tek a boo sun.'

Fifa's 10v10 game mode is great and all but not not allow us to have less human players on each time for online mode.

Would have really loved there to be2v2 or 5v5 game mode matches online :(.

Still 10 v 10 games are interesting, always loads of goals as its usually played with 10 people on each side running after the ball...

Sure it does. Just get 5 people on each team or something and the captains will be booted to unready status. If they both then say they're ready with only 5 (or however many) people on each team, the game will start with that many players.

Damn, FIFA kicks PES all over the palce this year. Although I never expected it PES had it comming for a long time now. With lazy ports and virtually no improvements what so ever for the last few years Konami has been nothing but milking a cow to it's last drop. Well, seems like that cow is dead now better look for a fresh one.

What happens if you get sent off.

I'd like to play as a "Chopper Harris" last man back style "sweeper".

"What happens if you get sent off. "

You have to watch the rest of the match!

you can have 10 v 10, 5 v5 4v3, 2v2 1v2 - or whatever you like on FIFA.

Plus you don't have to choose to be a specific player, choose the ANY option and you can take control of any player on the pitch (except those that other people have picked)

lol @ the last paragraph!

is it meant to sound like this? :

"if you want something thats like a load of shit then get PES. If you want something that's really fucking not shit and really smart and well good get FIFA"

"Hahaha, PES is attack minded arcadey football :D"


Well, as a supporter of Manchester United I have to admit to liking the attacking-at-pace way of doing things. Total football. It's exciting. You get the right Premiership game and it can be end to end. Thats probably why me and my mates are enjoying Pro Evo.

I'd be more interested in a Be a Pro - Become a Legend comparison.

Why or why will people just refuse to accept Pro Evo is now totally a shower of shit? It's been getting decent reviews. I fear it falls into the Halo 3 category of nobody would dare to slag it off.

FIFA could've used some work on the lobbies from 08. It can take an age to find a match, people still seem to enjoy parking themselves in the middle of the team select screen. Which would be fine if the system would keep filling the room until the slots are all taken. At present, if there's a spare player waiting, it won't send anyone else in. Minor flaw...
The clubs setup has the potential to sort this, just a case of finding more players on when i am (time zones and such.)
For me its fifa by a mile over pes

Why hasn't the PC version of FIFA with all its internet connectivity not got better online options. I bought it assuming it would come with the full range. I'm worried that pressure from mircosoft has asked them to curtail the online features to boost the the Xbox and promote its recent price cut. Cynical I know, but the Private Investigators maxim is "its either love or money", and it ain't the former.

I love the sounds of playing 10v10.

I think there is also a lot of potential with the camera settings. Since you will always be the one player (usually) you should be able to play with the camera at player height. The games have always looked the best in close but never really been playable when switching players the whole time. It also makes sense now to have your view restricted by opposing players so you are more likely to make the safer, closer passes.

If you are chatting whilst playing is it everyone on your own team that hears you, yeah?

I foresee forum leagues.

EG vs. NeoGaf, or even having a proper go at Gamefaqs.

Pissed off at the crippled PC version, for which I do have Pro EV, though will probably have to grab this when I finally get an XBox

i was umming and aahhing about which to get as ive always been a PES fan. Then I decided on a change and went to morrisons to get FIFA. They didnt have it so I ended up getting PES

Im so weak

Argh, no! Another article which states FIFA has more fluid player animations than PES, when I think it's totally the opposite! Why? Whyyyy

As a PES fanboy until the last 2 installations of a so called next gen game, Seabass can suck my hairy nutsack. PES is going backwards. PES on the PS2 3 -4 years ago was the pinnacle. Its all downhill from here. FIFA is were its at now.

still havent bought either.... im so confused, FIFA was pure shite for years! i cant believe pro evo's fall from grace. hmmmm and another hmmmmmmmmmmm

I ummed and ahhed about which to get this year but I got pro evo in the end... and I love it. It is much better than last year's effort, much more like pro ev at it's pinnacle a few years ago. Online is very good too, only very occassional problems with stuttering.

I found FIFA too slow, not "more realistic", but actually too slow. But anyway, pro evo is not "a shower of shit" as someone said, it's just that FIFA has come on leaps and bounds in the last couple of years and pro evo has only improved a little (not counting last year's effort). But seeing as pro evo was so far ahead before, then I would say that they are almost the same now. For me pro evo is just a little better because I prefer the pacing, but I can see why many people would prefer FIFA.
