Ok in terms of this thread, it has been a blast. But things are going too far now so cya lata!
So because I have given my opinion on PES, in a FIFA v PES thread, I am 'spamming'.
Yet Craney can consistently keep saying why he doesn't rate FIFA (which is fine) yet he doesn't get the same treatment?
Hmm.
Anyway, I acknowledge your warning.
Won't say anything else on the matter - seems there are too many sensitive souls around here.
Yup, it's become the thread for two people to do nothing but undermine any who dares to criticise their precious PES. As I said previously, about time this thread spent some time in the PES sub-forum instead of the Fifa forum.
And once again a one dimensional view presented.
If people wish to talk healthily about both game facets thats fine
It represents the view of certain posters in here, oh wait it's my fault because I'm "insane, unbalanced and biased". You tell two people to stop posting to each other, I stop, the other one doesn't, oh it's ok he's a PES fan I'll leave him alone to continue.
L.O.L.

Its not a damn war of attrition,its just a few layers of plastic after all.
For me its the presentation and glitter of FIFA which is confused with graphics. From a far it looks decent at times. But zoom in.
No way is Pro Evo as bad graphically as some people are making out. Trouble is people compare the presentation with FIFA and the lack of shiny things, the lack of licenses and what not.
Right off the bat they're in a negative mindframe about the game before they've even kicked the ball. A real shame.
PES just feels and looks archaic now. It resembles a Serie A match in the 90s. Slow, methodical and tactical. Which is fine. But I want the Premier League action, the glitz, the stadia, the presentation, the visuals - I want the whole package.
There simply isn't enough in PES 2017 for the modern gamer - this is why I worry for the series, especially as (apparently - I have read this at another forum) it hasn't done as well as Konami would have liked sales-wise this year.
Good post,very good post.Going to pick up on those two points above:
- It is a little strange that you say PES is rubbish for comparing it (inaccurately might I add) to a particular style of football, then go on to say how you want the Premier League style of football as that offers "the whole package" You have essentially said it yourself: FIFA doesn't offer the whole package just like PES doesn't because it caters to a particular style, unless you think the Premier League style is the only style which is fair enough if you think that but it would be both inaccurate and a little ignorant. Maybe we might get a game that embraces all styles should they (Konami/EA) concentrate on the football and not the guff surrounding it - be that what happens around the actual sport or trying to keep up with gaming trends or ways in which to generate more money after the initial sale. Glitz, presentation and stadia are good to haves, not need to haves if we are talking about making a truly all-embracing football video game.
- It is a tad ignorant you suggesting PES2017 doesn't do enough for the modern gamer. It is also incredibly condescending along with being somewhat delusional in that you believe you are the embodiment of the modern gamer. In fact, the point could be made that the modern gamer is a "casual" gamer: are you therefore a "casual"? Also, the modern gamer isn't necessarily always right. You want proof? Check how both games actively look to exploit consumers with their FUT/MyClub nonsense and these modern gamers rolling with it. It is far worse in other genres and just because folks are submissive in droves doesn't make them right. It makes them compliant. I really think you are being short-sighted here in the extreme.
Oh god! Here we go with the "worry for the series" line. Listen, PES will sell millions. Not as many millions as FIFA, but millions. Konami could very well have placed higher expectations on the game than they should have, but they have done so by not marketing the game anywhere near the levels that EA does with FIFA. Konami get some amount of shit, particularly from modern gamers who believe whatever they read on N4G or take on board without question the bullshit that is often spouted by "modern gamers" icons such as Jim "Fuck Konami" Sterling and bloody Angry Joe. What often goes unnoticed is that when it comes to PES, they market wisely and prudently. They know their audience, or potential/target audience, and if you think Konami currently see the potential/target audience as the FIFA audience exclusively then you are not paying attention. The marketing and investment budget for PES means that they can probably take a hit. It really should not go without note that selling a couple of million of any game these days can be considered success, so long as the budget spent to develop/market is set to such expectation. Granted, maybe Konami have overestimated, but not by millions.
Finally, Konami aren't as cheap as some would have you believe. We are talking about a company that bankrolled Kojima to the tune of £70m or thereabouts on MGSV; that was just development, not marketing. They spunked tens of millions on the series before that too and entertained all his bizarre requests throughout. I love Kojima, but Konami are a business and it is frankly amazing that they put up with his mad, massively over-budget genius (EA's eyes would even water at such outaly at such risk) Now that is a game that didn't sell the numbers to perhaps match its budget on development.
Who is to say that with them cutting back on games development in the triple A market, that they don't then invest more in PES and look to compete more aggressively? It is arguably the perfect situation for a football to game to flourish - a business that does generate hefty profit from other initiatives and ventures, combined with a fair amount off the bill now (Kojima's productions) and a product still fondly loved by some and fondly remembered by others.
TL;DR - EA/FIFA don't have "the complete package" and don't have ALL the answers. If they did, their football game would be/should be selling astronomical numbers the likes of which gaming has never seen. It doesn't. And if god forbid the situation arises that EA (or Konami) are the only ones tasked with giving answers to football videogames questions then we'll all lose, no matter how many sliders/licenses/staduims/animations/team styles they throw at it.

yep, they would need to rebuilt the code from scratch, but they won't. They will just keep adding more fluff and license.... More polishing of the turd. Trust me i know EA from years of proof.. They don't do anymore then needed to sell. Big corporate statistics, all graphed out.The only discussion when it comes to FIFA gameplay is they must start again and reprogram the gameplay from scratch, re importing and reimplementing every single aspect from the ground up, until then they should go back to 2010 world cup gameplay so at least the game is fun, not a car crash of shoddy programming!
however what impressed me the most is the defending, fifa tactical defending... it is... as recent kotaku comparison article stated... it's football...! it is exactly how real football is, although yes as the same article stated, it may not be fun, it maybe overly hard for the casuals, it may not even be good for the hardcore players...
however it is a realistic football defending mechanism
You are shitting me, right? Tactical defending is exactly how defending is in real life?
I'll read through the rest of your post but, man, that right there is one egregious bullshit of a claim.
Oh, and I am not suggesting PES' defending mechanics are remotely close either, when considering, once again, HOW SIMPLE FOOTBALL IS TO PLAY. Jesus! Football is such a simple sport, with it being tactics and strategy that are the real complexities and differentiators at professional level, not the ability to follow a dude who has the ball using "special tactics"
I read posts like yours and do wonder how some perfectly able people manage to put one foot in front of the other and walk if they think tactical defending or whatever other convoluted mechanic layered onto a control scheme in a football game is considered realistic or, to quote yourself "is exactly how real football is"
Dunno about you mate, but running after or jockeying some dude when I played football wasn't that difficult. Was only difficult when they used similar basic instincts to stop me getting near them. Tactical defending is a pointless mechanic, designed primarily to reduce the chances of breaking the code or exposing the flaws.
I mean, FFS! These games are approximations, not the gospel of football. But as I am open to be proven wrong the next time I go to see Thistle I will shout the following:
"USE TACTICAL DEFENDING, LIAM LINDSAY!"
"OCH, YOU USELESS TWAT! I SAID PRESS YOUR R1 AND X BUTTONS TO CONTAIN, YOU FUD!"
Maybe then we won't be bottom of the league.
Lol I knew I would struck some nerves on pes fanboys when I posted that, they are so used with the archaic "I win buttons" for defending...
Oh, and I am not suggesting PES' defending mechanics are remotely close either...
I recommend shutting the thread as it was a good discussion. Then lads got too defensive over people saying they didn't like PES and 1 tried to tell me I didn't know how to play the game properley .
We've had quite a few hysterical FIFA guys in here aswell.I recommend shutting the thread as it was a good discussion. Then lads got too defensive over people saying they didn't like PES and 1 tried to tell me I didn't know how to play the game properley .
