My first blog: PES 2009 Review and FIFA Comparison

[Bahnzo]

I give my review on PES 2009, from a former PES addict and a big fan of FIFA 08.

Quote:

PES 2009 is back at least to where it was in the PS2 days. But with the new consoles, Konami still needs to put in some work to get PES up to the standards we all demand now. But Seabass and crew seem to be headed in the right direction again and PES 2010 should carry with it the promise of regaining it's place on top of the football gaming world.

I've played the crap out of WE9 (Xbox), FIFA 09 (PS3), and PES 2009 (PS3) this year. I think WE9 is still the best on little details. PES 2009 seems like it is still missing a lot of what was in WE9. FIFA 09 has raised its game on the pitch and in the graphical department beyond WE9 and PES 2009. The right stick defensive changes, array of dribble moves, position battles, and team specific strategies puts it a cut above. FIFA still needs to add in details like knit number changes (which was in 08 and removed for 09), players leaving the pitch for injury treatment with status updates, national play should be a factor, and transfers should be reflected in CPU lineups. I think the CPU teams should drive a harder bargin on some transfers too.
