Fifa 09 or PES 09?

[Daniel]

Just lost my first penalty shoot out

Quite a buzz from the whole thing though

Second cup I've been knocked out of now. Dominated the whole game against Newcastle but just didnt have the luck/skill to put it in the back of the net.

14 shots, 13 on target. 59% possesion (In extra time I was constantly in newcastles end) and 84% on passing. So a bit of a bummer to lose

The more I play this, the more impressed I am. It's incredibly realistic in places... including the Leicester striker's inability to finish easy attempts on goal.

 

[ChrisFilter]

Totally in love with it now. Best football game ever. By a considerable margin, n' all.

 

[Fiended***]

Reading this thread just throws up everything I have been thinking; the way the game grows on you, the way it has that polished look and fluidity and also the thoughts of " no way can Fifa be better than Pro".

Well, this was my annual visit to the games forum. Speak next year homies.

Just picked up Fifa for 15 quid, gonna give it a go when I can and see what I reckon to it. Who is online playing it?

 

[tommers]

I'm gonna get it too once the console comes back. I like the idea of hot 10 v 10 online action.

I got it from Dagenham Cash converters. The bloke was sick when he realised his mistake at pricing it that cheap but bizarrely let me have it anyway.

Apparently Gamestation have it cheap atm, or so he said. 20 quid?

Shame, I think most people have the 360. Otherwise I'd whoop your monkey arse.

 

[Sadken]

That is a pain,yeah. Especially cos i was hoodwinked into giving my nephew my xbox.

Downloaded the demo of Fifa 09 and gonna give it a go when I get back. Have already played the new Pro have to agree with most of the comments on here, its not really moved forward in 3-4 years.

If FIFA 09 truly is the better game then I'll happilly buy it so I can add it to the long list of games I can beat Filter at on the 360.

I've been expecting you, Mr Dal.

You online and added your gamertag to the Xbox Profile thread?

OK have played Fifa 09 (demo) and PES 09 (demo and full) and I must say that...

PES is still the better game. Yes the graphics and presentation is better (stunning in fact) and all the names and teams are correct etc but I just prefer the way PES plays. There's something innately comforting and "right" about it where FIFA just feels, ahm, wrong. Sorry, not the most empirical of arguments but heartfelt nonetheless.

That said, perhaps I need to buy and play the full FIFA game in order to understand what you guys are on about. Just not sure its worth me spending all that money.

 

[ChrisFilter]

You're in a bit of a minority there mate. Check out all the reviews.

Anyway, we both know it's just 'cos you don't want FIFA to be better

 

[ChrisFilter]

Oh, and as for worth the money.. it really is. Play a season... after about 12 games you'll be amazed. It's properly, properly brilliant.

 

[Daniel]

I rented PES 09 yesterday and was disappointed with it, I thought it would be better

I think Become A Legend is better then Be A Pro because of how you start in a small little club and work your way up, but couldn't work out how to call for balls after pressing numerous buttons, only one that worked was R2x2 but that was a little awkward =\

The amount of times I was in a great position and not given a chance was ridiculous.

I realise I'm in the minority and sometimes reviews are wrong (Final Fantasy..

Maybe I'll rent it for a weekend and give it another go.

 

[jcsd]

I've had PES for a while and played it quite a bit, now I've bought FIFA so I should be able to give the final verdict.

Fuck off re: FF. That's like insulting my Mum.

You should, then you can play me instead of your stupid Australian friends. "Hey Jon, alright cobber? Want a game of soccer?"

"It's football, you kangaroo fucking wanker"

 

[tommers]

right, I'm online. I'm shit, but I'm online.

 

[kained&able]

I'm still looking for fifa09 under 20 quid.

Or a job.

When either of these things happen, i'm on it and my defence will be unbeatable.

[kained&able]
