I heard that FIFA 09 was better....
Just, ehm "acquired" FIFA 2009, its at least as impressive as 2008, the graphics are probably better, but the gameplay still cannot be compared to PES 2008. If you use mouse, for the pc version, you will be very happy this year, it is fully supported and the control of the off he ball player is awesome,
the grass the kits and the player's faces look better than any pess but the movement and the acceleration of the players is not us smooth as it is on PES and they way the ball bounds and ricochets is somewhat unnatural.
All in all the PES still looks more realistic and closer to real life exp.
The controls seem to allow more movements than PES, but using the same Logitech pad, they seem to be a let less sharp.
Defending is really very challenging and the goal counts in 15' half time games reaches Americans Football games standards...
I enjoy the be a pro move temporarily but i encountered an issue both here and in a normal team game. When i suddenly receive the ball and change direction, my player becomes inactive and does not respond in absolutely no command!!
It happens too often to be a considered as a minor bug and it is really frustrating, among with inaccurate controls esp on manual mode it makes the game, almost unplayable for me.
Thats a pity because its really impressive to watch and a tad more spectacular than PES, with the highest settings on 1280x1024.
I created an anti-Molinaro character that already starts to become more useful in our team than him.
Once again, FIFA came first, it was an eye candy, it had all the necessary time to catch my attention and make me love it, but it failed in the end...
PC Demo already leaked befopre release date
