Pro Evolution Soccer 2008 Vs Fifa 08 : Who will win this time ?
By Madhur Kapoor on Aug 13, 2007 in Gaming, My Choice
The footie season of gaming is about to begin this October with two of the gaming giants EA Sports and Konami fighting for the top honors. The rivalry between EA’s glamorous FIFA and Konami’s traditional and more football savvy PES is exciting as we see in real life domestic competition. Now as the time approaches , the battle is going to become much bigger and bitter. Lets take a preview at both the games.
Pro Evolution Soccer 2008
This year Konami has decided to call it PES 2008 instead of PES 7 so that it doesnt appear outdated in front of FIFA 08 (the same reason XBOX successor was called XBOX 360 instead of XBOX 2). PES 2008 is going to be a revolutionary step of Konami and will bring it much more closer to FIFA in terms of glamour and team. The most talked about feature of this games is going to be its revolutionary Artificial Engine called TeamVision.
TeamVision is going to add more life to the Master League mode or other single player modes of PES 2008. Now you will face stiff competitions from teams which you could have walked over before. This time the AI will learn and adapt to your strategies. The AI teams will try different attacking options and will even try to exploit your weakness. For example , if an AI finds out that your Central Defenders are not good at winning headers , then they will start pumping crosses at you constantly unless there striker can score goals. Now you will have to make substiutions in order to change tactics and not just to being a fresh pair.
There are going to be massive changes in set-pieces too , according to Konami , the talented players can score goals from free kicks which was a bit difficult in earlier versions. The ball control will also be enhanced along with a new sets of feints and dribbles to take the ball past your opponents.
FIFA 08
FIFA 08 is not going to be left far behind. This time it boasts of having around 620 licensed teams , over 30 official leagues and more than 15000 players , around 20% more of what was there in FIFA 07. The AI system is also going to be enhanced with a 35 point decision engine making complex decisions in between a match. It will feature a new “Be a Pro” mode which will enable you to play the entire match as a single player (this feature is already in PES). There will be onscreen alerts to guide you if you are out of position or you can also change to Normal mode on between if you feel you are not doing justice to it.
This time shooting in FIFA is more enhanced than before. It is going to be much more responsive to your movements and controls. Players like gerrard , Beckham , Rooney will be able to pull there trademark shots.
However the difference between FIFA and PES is going to be the same like before with PES concentrating more on gameplay and FIFA more on original teams and licenses. But hey ,i could be wrong. Both the games will be out by October i guess , lets hope there demo comes out soon so i can give both of them a try. I have always been a big fan of PES due to its much more realistic gameplay. Lets see what these new titles have in store for us. What do you guys think ? Who will be the winner this time ?
Well, I’m not much in gaming but I can say that EA sports has always done a wonderful job. So we can expect same quality this time around too

Well, both are strong competitors. So, can’t say anything at this moment. We’ll have to wait and see what happens
And BTW, your new new theme is looking very cool and colorful.

I played Fifa from the 1999 and all other games were nothing compare to her. But few years later I changed my mind, because they didn’t improve their gameplay. You had one way of scoring goals and that’s it. Also, too many bugs and AI stupidity so I couldn’t play the game at all, I was really pissed. I didn’t even bought last years version.

Y’all shouldnt even argue about this……Fifa was d thang b4….i luved it since the first edition on the psone and nintendo 64…..but wen i first played pro evo 1 on ps2, ma life changed….i despised fifa even tho i used to follow d progress each yr…..pro evo continued to provide its fans wiv improvements…pro evo 3 came out and i said i would neva go to fifa again…..afta pro 4, i stopped buyin ea titles….but pro 5 lookd d same as pro 4 and pro 6 d same as pro 5 and from d videos i watched, pro 08 on 360 looks jst like pro 6 on 360….like i said, i used to follow and monitor d progress of fifa and afta world cup 06 on the 360, i said i actually would start giving fifa a try. wen fifa 07 and uefa champs 06 07 came out, i knew dat pro has lost out to fifa…..cuz pro’s gameplay has remaind d same since and fifa keeps improvin in liscenses and authenticity, gameplay, graphics, manager mode, and general creativity…..and now with the creative freedom and chance to express yoself jst like in the real world………pro’s goin down….am sorry to say…but nevertheless, they jst videos and i hope wen i get the demos i would be impressd by both of them which i feel i would be……but come to think of it….EA every yr say thangz like we heard d cry of our fans and decided to put it on the priority list……have y’all eva heard konami say that? think about it………hmmmm

pes6 also has a new ai system which will make it much harder and more relistic, the computer will learn form the way u play and adapt to that and u will have to keep on changing your style of play every tim to be a good player.
unlike fifa all the players are like they have the same stats and when u buy new players it dosent make a difference to the team

O ma Gosh!!!!!!!! U guyz. I had a chance to tlk with a friend who played pes 2008 and fifa 08 in the games convention at leizpig germany. He is a PES fan too and i like concluded that he’ll say fifa sucks….BUT and i emphasize that….he said that wen he played fifa 08 he actually felt, thot and seemd like he was playin real soccer on the field…..and i was like whoa? he said pro evo obviously retained its gameplay, but thats the problem….no impriovement except for a few lil tweaks in the AI aspect and the new diving thing……but he said fifa felt like a whole new game especially afta playin fifa 07 last yr…..according to him and i quote “from all indications, lots of pro evo fans are goin to be impressd by fifa 08 if they give it a chance……” He liked both games but it shocked me wen he said “fifa has gotten ma vote this year”. I’ll like to say to y’all that condemn bith games…..DONT!!!!!!! give em a chance, play em and truthfully judge them like ma friend….

The problem with every edition of Fifa so far is the predicatability. Say you are in a certain position on the pitch and you score, you can be in the same position a million times and you will always score. Say you are in a better position and you don’t score, you will miss every time from the same position.
PES is more dynamic and unpredictable. Has Fifa 2008 caught up in gamplay and AI? We’ll soon find out…

If Fifa 08 can beat PES 08 on its gameplay, then surely all PES 08 customers will be switching to Fifa 08 as it has lots of licenses whilst PES 08, you have to count on kitserver and patches.
Overall, it’s just my hint cuz i haven’t play the game, but I’ll say PES 08 can still do much better compared to Fifa 08.

Now I’ve played FIFA 08 demo, i can say that PES 2008 will be much better compared to it.

If u have played PES and given it time u will never go back to fifa for too many reasons to explain. The lack of licences in PES is annoying but i seem to get addicted to the editing in PES just as much as playing it. if u compare to racing games this is what it would be like…..

how can u like fifa, fifa is just so easy, you can score so easily, when you take a freekick in fifa 07 most of the times the goal keeper dont even move thats why anyone can score free kick so easily, fifa is a slow game and when u play u cant really control the ball like pro, after i played fifa 08 demo i deleted it after 5 mins of playing, all fifa ever concentrates is the licence of teams and players, fifa is a shit game pro is getting better and better then fifa every yr, maybe in 1 or 2 yrs pro will make fifa look like shit, so all u fucking fifa supporters can eat my shit, start playing pro and enjoy it, if you dont then you are all fucking handicaps.

I downloaded the Fifa demo for PS3 and its not even as good as PES 6 was, everything seems to be in slow motion, and the trough balls are rubbish they go behind the player instead of infront. Players make runs right into defenders so you cant pass to them if you wanted to, and the reponse time when you want them to do anything is realy slow too in PES you can use the skill buttons and get around someone at the last second in Fifa it seems like you have to be a mile away to get around anyone. Defensive AI is poor when a cross comes in the back line are still trying to play offside and it gives a free header unless you have controll of the right player. PES would have to go back to ISS quality to be on par with Fifa 08.
PES wins - no competition

Fifa is a terrible game and always has been. Any real football fan gamer would choose PES the only people I know who play Fifa ar children who cant win on PES. Gameplay on PES is amazingly fluent and perfect, Fifa is slow and shallow, its just horrifically tedius, I cant even believe anyone like Fifa better its just no contest.
Choosing Fifa over PES is like choosing testicular cancer over a new car.
GoldenBoot | Sep 22, 2007 | Reply
PES 2008 looks like it will, again win fifa with its improved graphics and its new features such as an extensive edit mode and more licensed teams and players than ever before. Also with the realistic inclusion of diving and FINALLY new commentators this surely will be by far the best football game ever made.
And to top it off it has the best feature ever included in a game where you can take a picture of yourself and scan it onto a created player. PES 2008 all the way.

I used to love pro evo and always preffered it on the previous generation of consoles but i think there next gen efforts are quite poor. Fifa has much more realistic graphics and gameplay which is what i go for. The gameplay and graphics in the latest pro evo demo for xbox360 are extremely arcadey and fifa08 wins hands down for me. I couldn’t even be bothered to finish playing the pro evo demo which is sad for me because i have played it since the ISS days. Shooting is hard in Fifa but this is realistic and more challenging making long range goals much more satisfying. I think people that write fifa off are maybe judging it by the old fifa standard which is wrong because fifa is a totally different beast these days, much closer to classic pro evo gameplay and more importantly for me, closer to the real game.

Ok so ive always been a hardcore fan of pro evolution, every edition of it has been better, until now.
Having played the demo for both games i can safely say that fifa have made a huge improvement this year, compared to pro ev which seems to have went backwards to a seemingly ISS state. The graphics are disgusting it looks like a cartoon, the gameplay is a joke and the nets dont look real.
On the other hand when i play fifa i seem to get a feeling of real life, aside from the fact that the kits, crowd and player animations are outstanding the gameplay also feels a lot more fluent and real albeit a little too slow.
I will probably end up buying both games but fifa 08 is defintely the one im looking forward too the most.

Buying both… Football is the winner…
Manni | Sep 24, 2007 | Reply
Having played PES hardcore since PES4, and Fifa since the beginning of time, I think I can stay pretty objective on this.
I stopped playing Fifa around the same time I started to play PES.
After having played about 3-4 hours of both the Fifa08 and Pes2008 demos I think that it will be a hard contest. The gameplay in pes has been speeded up and although the new animations look good, the animations in Fifa look even better. The way they work the ball is a lot better than in PES. Also, the physics seems to have been improved in Fifa, and the passing aswell. There is a lot more midfield play in Fifa than in PES. In pes you are either defending or attacking because of the quick gameplay.
Overall I think Fifa has taken a bigger step from 07 to 08, and Pro Evo hasnt really taken a real step forward since pes5.
My money is on Fifa right now, but in the end I will probably buy both. As Manni said, the winner is Football and we as fans!

From ma opinion and i hate to say this being a PES fan and all, Fifa 08 is beta…..gameplay has improved so much that i feel am on the pitch and like nani said, there’s more midfield play which is very realistic…..pro evo is basically attack and defend and hardly midfield….i lud pro evo and still luv…..pes2008….i like but it wasnt as much as i expected…i think i was over excited and i put ma hopes too high and konami has def let me down….i ont know about all y’all pro evo fans who have played it but i think konami’s not really improvin as they should……grphics arent as impressive and i’ve got a crazy plasma screen TV but on Fifa….OMG….i’d have to say that fifa has taken it this year but i feel terrible sayin that cuz i havent thot of that since fifa 99……anywayz…am goin to buy both games but i’d have to say that its goin to hurt me getn pro evo(cant bliv am sayin….am actually turnin into a fifa fan….aint gon happen)

I was once one of these fifa fans and never slaged PES off as i never had played it. Then i got PES 05 and thought it was well good it wasnt till i tryed to go back to fifa i realized how poor fifa is in every way in comparison to PES. I will give fifa its chance each year by playing the demo but for 08 and for a long time if EA keeps making them i will be spending my money on a true footballing sim (PES)

Fifa 08 is like a new game this year. Much much better than previous versions.
But if Pro Evo continues to improve its gameplay as in previous years it will probably be better.
I am a sucker for real leagues and names etc so Fifa will always get my vote.
Love both games though. No point anyone else trying to make a footy game as they just won’t compare to Fifa or PES

Hi, name’s Tom. And I think FIFA 2008 will be better. The shooting is realistic in FIFA than PES. Isn’t it amazing to see defensive midfielders score a hat-trick even on the highest difficulty on FIFA? Now that’s realistic. FIFA wins hands down. I would like to let everyone know that I have not being paid by EA to say such comments. Oh, here’s my sack with my… laundry inside, yes, thank you for that, Mister big-shot from E… I mean, Ubisoft.

The question of PES vs. Fifa is really up to what kind of person you are. If you like all this license stuff and cant google the web to download some updates, stick to Fifa, honey. But if you like the footy, if you like the real thing, PES is what you need. So the question is do you like commerce or do you like art. Or even more simple: It is to be a pussy or not to be a pussy.

i went to the official launch of the fifa 08 game(for those who dont believe me..i have fotos) and the gameplay on the ps3 version outstrips anything that pro evo has done up until now. Also the real reason that people buy these games is to be able to play as their favourite players, and if it was a contest of that..fifa 08 would win hands down..
oh and dont base ur opinion on the ps2 versions of either game..the ps3 gaming engine is so much better making each game so much better..

i hate pro evo games… they are the worst looking, worst playing, most disgusting waste of money EVER !!!> pro evo games look like some kind of independant project done by beginner programmers who are trying to make anything that’ll just work. fifa and other futbol games by EA like UEFA champions league have always been so far better than pro evo that its not even a comparison. I’ve played in both small and large tournaments for fifa where i’ve met more die hard EA sports soccer game fans than most people know even exist. … the only people who don’t like EA soccer games are the lame gamers who have no skill and can’t get the game to play like they want… if any of you losers played against me in fifa.. my skill would make it appear as if your controller didn’t even work.. FIFA 08 OWNS ALL AND CHAMPIONS LEAGUE 08 WILL DESTROY ALL WHEN IT IS RELEASED!

yo guys man i think theres good in both games but pes is jus way beyond fifa in terms of gameplay. in my opinion the best thing about fifa is the licensing thats it. pes lacks the licensing thats wat i dislike about it. but if we put the 2 games head 2 head theres no ? about it pes will kill fifa braap big up all my pes fans out there and peace 2 the fifa fans but ya’ll know we’ll bitch slap ur skanky asses

Was a pro evo fan till pro evo 6 on next gen. y’all have to admit, it was crap. Just got fifa 08 b’cos ma cuzin asked me to and i have to say that i’m impressed. i”ve played previous fifa titles and i have to say pro evo spits on it and uses it to clean d floor. but having played the pro evo 2008 demo…and fifa 08…OMG, Konami has loadza work to do to get bak its status as the dominating football game. FIfa 08 is just too amazing considering the previous arcadey gameplay. I’d have to say that fifa 08 knocks the hell out of pro evo 2008. Plus i hate pro evo now, but i mite jst get it for loyalty sake. Pro evo fans should open they stupid eyez and see the obvious truth that fifa 08 is beta.

Pes gameplay has always been much much much better than FIFAs. FIFA is slow clunky and all goals feel the same. Anybody with any skill and is older than 10 knows PES is the only real game. Konami simply have better programmers. Play with your real kits all you want FIFA retards but the gameplays worse on FIFA 08 than PES 3.

As an avant pro evo fan, i cudnt wait to purchase pes 08. Only in boredom and in need of a football game, i bought fifa 08. I expected it to be a quick stop gap between then and pes, but the game has me hooked. I cant stop playing it. The gameplay has improved much since the last fifa, the career mode is so much better then pro and the licencing is immense. Yet its gameplay isnt as good as pros and i dnt believe it ever will be. This is the reson i enjoy playing pes, the fluency in pro in unmatchable. True fifa fans like fifa for different reasons and that should be respected. As should pro fans. i havent played pes 08 yet, but when i do im sure that i will revert back to that, but like i said fifa 08 is a great game, best one since 98 id say.

Been a pro fan for a long time, feeling sorry for the people who actually bothered to play fifa when they could be playing pro, but i gotta say that if you want realistic football this year, IT HAS TO BE FIFA 08. I know im amazed too, and im not gonna buy both. im afraid pro evo is losin its way and goin too arcadey = 100 goals every game. Fifa, somehow, has overtaken it - ON GAMEPLAY. wow. never thought i would say that any time soon

It seems as if , PES fans are finding it difficult to accept that FIFA is now the best football game…… last year i change to a PES fan, but this year i am pleased to say i am back to FIFA for real, i am from london and football is in our blood, when you play FIFA 08 you know that you are playing proper and more entertaining football, is just proper solid. i am not saying pes is not good enough, but for 2008 version, i galla be honest FIFA IS definitly the best… this is just common sense is FIFA, they know all about football, likewise kanomi, they only know about technology, can you see the difference. PES or PRO, whatever you call it, is not proper football. peace
JAYE 2 K | Nov 15, 2007 | Reply
JAYE 2 K you say Ea know about football and konami know about technology then surely, Fifa would have better gameplay and PES would have better graphics, and its the complete opposite. Fifa’s gameplay is FAR too slow, trying to take on anyone is damn near impossible, and you can forget about making a long run up the wing, whereas in PES fluididy is king, jinks and jives make it much more realistic when coming 1-on-1 with an opponent, also in PES the through balls dont go to the defence they go beyond them and your striker has a chance to pick it up to score. The keepers on Fifa just arn’t up to much they’re either super human or out of it. Oh and i’ve changed my mind on the graphics, yes fifa looks all nice and shiny but plastic, pes looks cloers to realistic as all the faces are modelled not mapped, the animations on fifa are poor, you can see the jerk when it changes from running to falling (if you get tackled) whereas in PES its one fluid motion. PES is the alround best choice to spend your money on. Fifa can’t even compare to the last few PES games in gameplay still and some of them were poor themselves.

Eyo…..y’all gotta be honest. Pro evo 2008 is quite a let down on the 360. I’m a konami freak. But wen i dopwnloaded demos of pro evo and fifa 08, i was like i mite as well buy fifa 08 till pes 08 cums out. I played fifa 08 on the semi pro difficulty and didnt score till ma 17th match….quite annoying, but entertaining and realistic. I meediately pes2008 came out, i traded ma fifa 08 for it. Ma first match on top player difficulty, i beat man utd using barcelona 4-0. I didnt get it. I thot it was jst a funny thing. Then i used man utd to beat barcelona 3-1. I used arsenal to beat barca 4-1. And this was the final score, i used newcastle to beat barca 4-0. I was so pissd that pes was extremely easy and i said i wold neva play a friendly match, so i started ma master league. Within the 1st few matches, i got bored. I didnt bliv wen i traded ma pes 2008 bak for fifa 08. AQm hooked on fifa 08 rite now….am failin in skuul cuz of that game. 5 on 5 be a pro is just anova level of gaming. This proves that the boyz at EA are doin a lot more work than the konami boyz. Konami has a long way t go to catch up wiv fifa at the rate at which fifa is increasing and konami is decresing. But c’mon the all time best football game would always be PES4….yep still gt that konami blood

TOM | Dec 17, 2007 | Reply
PES is amazing the shooting is spot on, if you actually played footaball the ball doesn’t automatically go towards the goal when you kit it, it goes where you aim like in PES the graphics are sooo much better than FIFA i used to think it was the other way around until i realized all fifa does is get a base model and map the images on to it, whereas PES builds every player. Fifa takes forever to load anything even just the next page in the options menu, you can flick through PES as quick as you want. Who cares really about the team names, its not like you cant tell what team it is, and the edit mode has always been a great feature of PES games. Fifa just doesnt meet the standards set even by previous PES titles

Pro Evo CAN afford to call the clubs by their real names why do you think Barc and Inter, etc have them? Its just that Fifa have a contract with the premier league giving them the right to be the only game that has the whole league licenced. Once that contract runs out then Konami can buy it (like Studio Liverpool did with the F1 games now EA don’t even make them anymore) and Fifa will be worthless.

Hello all. I’ve played both demo’s of the fifa 08 and pes 08. pes 08 looks better, i haven’t really played pes 08 that long.. I like both fifa and pes and I like the controls in fifa.. if the pes could make the same combination of buttons as fifa i might be sold.. One thing i like about fifa is manager mode does pes08 have a manager mode?? I know i played winnings eleven for pc years ago and they did not have any manager mode, not that i remember but i know i went back to fifa for liscensing and the manager mode. I grew up with fifa since the very 1st one genisis and super nintendo, thats why i go with fifa cause i know the game better. fifa 08 characters look small this year from fifa 06 or fifa 07, this has made me wait for fifa 09. any have any opinion on pes 2007? is it any good? might get that to hold me over till 09 comes out. To my conclusion i give these games a Draw since they have there own ups and downs.

this is the truth and what makes you a PES fan or a FIFA fan.
if you play football and you’re good or enjoy what the game is then you are a PES because its more realistic when you dribble past an adversary you know it was the moves that you anticipated and reacted on what got you throw and makes you feel like you’re ronaldo or cicinho but if you’ve only played soccer in video games then you have nothing to compare the real feeling of a soccer match where you have to think faster and perform the moves and keep your cool in front of the goalie and you’ll be a FIFA fan because the games does every thing for you. i’ve played both games every new release sience internatinal super star soccer back in SNES which i think was like the predecessor of Winning Eleven and every time konami rules. of course Fifa has all the leagues with original names but the names dont make the player its the characteristics of each player, pros and cons, but now PES is plannig to realease a mexican league and that is gonna sell like crazy over here in Mexico because gameplay in fifa just doesnt cut it for the average soccer player in Mexico as well as i’m sure in europe and offcourse japan cause i bet nobody buys Fifa in japan since they allways take the best of what’s out there and Pro Evolution Soccer is the shitznee

you obviously don’t play the football for real otherwise you would know the gameplay on PES is much more realistic, and as for you saying fifa wins on graphics, yes they maybe all nice and shiny but if that’s all that matters to you then your not a true gamer either. Any real gamer would know that the gameplay makes a game. The graphics are different but not necesarily better, all the characters are just mapped images on similar models whereas on PES each player is indiviually built.
