Kosmo Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 FIFA 08 is shaping up to blow away Pro Evo this year. The increase in teams and players along with revamped gameplay makes this game a must own for footy fans. EA knows games in the past have lacked and are looking to correct it this year.

The_Rev Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 FIFA 08 is shaping up to blow away Pro Evo this year.. They said that about FIFA 07, and FIFA 06, and FIFA 05, and FIFA 04, and FIFA 03, and, well, you get the idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kkr Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 FIFA 08 is shaping up to blow away Pro Evo this year. The increase in teams and players along with revamped gameplay makes this game a must own for footy fans. EA knows games in the past have lacked and are looking to correct it this year. They change the gameplay every year because each year it is always lagging behind pro. If they want to make it a success then they need to get their hands on the pro game engine and use that to make the game. Id just rather that Konami bought the rights though as they would make a fortune off it, but having said that they do already and have the leading football title anyway so what would i know!?

dubbs Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 Everytime I have played Pro Evo I`ve struggled with the controls so I`m voting for FIFA for now. I`m gonna get a PS3 on sat so I`ll have to wait a while for the latest versions of each before deciding all over again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 Pro Evo is the better game IMO. And on the PC, we get the luxuries of Kitserver, Ballserver, Faceserver, Stadiumserver and so on I've just not been impressed with FIFA in many years. Due to my PS2 deciding to call it a day on Saturday, I'm now having to look at getting a PS3. So I'll probably be purchasing PES2008 for that rather than the PC. FIFA... I'll give it a try at some point, but I expect to be unimpressed yet again. Not had a good time with a FIFA game since FIFA '99. Who know?, EA could prove me wrong... but I'm not holding my breath.

MJ, Buy a 360, by all accounts PES is goin to be better on that than the PS3 simply because the developers have ironed out the problems they had with the 1st one, while PS3 dev's don't have that luxury.

By Guy Cocker, GameSpot UK Posted Aug 23, 2007 10:07 am GMT LEIPZIG, Germany--While last year's Pro Evolution Soccer was as playable as ever, there was a noticeable uprising among fans who felt the series wasn't progressing enough. Problems, such as the poor commentary, lack of official licences, and generally poor presentation are becoming increasingly unacceptable. This is particularly true on the next-generation consoles, such as the Xbox 360. So there's a reasonable amount of pressure on Konami this year to reaffirm Pro Evolution Soccer as the premier football series on the market. While the game convention demo sadly didn't offer us any insight into the commentary or domestic leagues, it was encouraging to see how much better the game was presented on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 than on previous iterations. Jumping at the chance to play the first version of Pro Evolution Soccer for the PlayStation 3, we were pleased to see how good the game looked. Now 75 percent through development, the game looks noticeably sharper on the PS3 at this point than on the Xbox 360. The extra fidelity really helps you spot individual players and appreciate the extra detail in the animation. The players also move in a very realistic manner. For example, Argentina's Cambiasso has a much more laboured running style than Brazil's Ronaldinho. Both characters were immediately recognisable thanks to the increase in resolution, with a noticeable bald patch on Cambiasso and the trademark long hair on the little Brazilian. However, the improvements aren't just limited to the player appearance. While the commentary and sponsors were still not in place for the demo, the menu systems boasted more pizzazz than in previous games. For example, 3D models now show off your kit selection instead of the static models of before. When you pause the game, you now get a live camera feed showing the subs and manager eagerly watching from the dugout. There were also some nice incidental details, such as the way players bend over and tighten their laces when the ball goes out of play. Additional details include the referee visibly blowing a whistle for free kicks and the ripple effect on the netting, which is as nice as ever. Strangely though, the referee doesn't blow his whistle for kick-off on the PlayStation 3 version, but perhaps this was yet to be included in the preview build. The PlayStation 2 version of the game on show had fewer teams than the PS3 and 360 versions, with just Brazil and Portugal on offer. It was difficult to spot the differences between this game and its predecessor on the PS2. But on closer inspection, the animation and player likenesses have been improved. The player-ball interaction certainly feels better, and players make more subtle changes to their direction than they did before. We found that the goalkeepers tend to spill the ball more often, especially when deflecting more powerful shots. This was demonstrated by our first goal, which blasted the keeper backward as he waved his arms to stop it in its path. Players also time their sliding tackles much better than they did before, and we were soon performing slides in the box with much more confidence than we did in last year's game. Players also move their mouths in a more realistic fashion when congratulating teammates on a goal. We left the Konami booth feeling as though each version of Pro Evolution Soccer 2008 had its subtle differences. The Xbox 360 joypad still feels awkward compared to Sony's DualShock2 and Sixaxis pads; thus, we hope Konami has spent the last year improving on the last game's poor Xbox Live code. We also have yet to find out how the PlayStation Network offering will differ from the Xbox Live online play, or if it will even differ at all. The Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC versions of the game will go on sale in October this year, while the Wii version is now promised for next year. With FIFA 08 looking stronger than ever, Christmas certainly looks like an exciting proposition for football fans, and we hope to bring you more on both games in the very near future.

TheSufferingVilla Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 Single player I have to go for Pro Ev but playing live games raises a couple of concerns. The whole Inter Milan/Brazil/Adrianno shit is **** terrible and unforgivable imo. I fancy FIFA to take the crown this year definetly in terms of online play. Konami just don't get it. They **** release the US version 6 months after the uk version with the same outdated squads and no compatability. The lack of depth and edit mode on the 360 was also unforgivable. At least EA (who I personally hate) ensure that all releases are at the same standard no matter the platform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
