After the nine minutes spent in company of Fifa 11 a few days ago, here comes now a new challenger, PES 2011. Today, we are giving you a full Champions League match opposing Manchester United to Lyon. Since I just got a copy of the game and I have been playing Fifa for the past few years, I did not have time to get used to the new gameplay of Konami's title. That's one of the reasons I had to capture some footage in normal mode, along with the fact that what you see here was really my first match. One last thing before I forget, the version we are showing here was captured on Xbox 360, contrary to what the official sponsors you see around the pitch seem to indicate. Funny, isn't it?

Compared to PES I have the feeling that everything is WAY too easy. Still every pass finds its target, most shots are in the net and tackling is a piece of cake. Compared to the FIFAs before, of course you see more demand.
PES 2011 on the other hand went more in the direction of the football simulation the earlier PES got so much praise for. It all feels like real football. The passes feel way less automatic, you have full control over the team's tactics, the ball physics are unmatched and a lot of unexpected moves come up during a game. I have no idea how people think that FIFA got even close to PES in those regards.
I still like FIFA for the licenses, presentation, graphics and the simple arcady feeling it has. When you want a real football simulation, there's no other choice than PES 2011 in my opinion.

but the passing is revolutionary and i enjoyed the demo so looking forward to it still but PES is nowhere near back yet

Commented on 2010-10-07 09:44:57Fifa has this passing system since Fifa 09 or Fifa 10 if you switch the controls to manual. If you switch all things to manual you have a much more satysfying and unpredictable game which feels nothing short compared to PES. Pes has still the better ball physics but the passes etc. are way more "pulled on a string" than they were in Fifa and passes, through balls etc. are much easier to do in the new PES.
The only thing I like to see in a new Fifa is the drag and drop tactics of PES which is an awesome new system/idea.
