Re: PES 2013 Discussion Thread .......
The only FIFA I thought to be great was FIFA 11 on PC, which was basically FIFA 10 from consoles, but polished out. My God that was the only game to keep me occupied for more than 1 year when it comes to footy and to be fair I still play it till now. FIFA 12 is a joke and it's way worse than what FIFA 11 on PC was in my opinion.
Why ruin the v. good base is beyond me. It's EA we are talking about here though. They turned great into shit. If someone says FIFA 12 is great due to sliders is joking. Sliders ruined it. I found myself tinkering with sliders more than actually playing the God damn game. Never finding perfect balance or settings I want. Plus like I said in FIFA 13 thread, if they made AI spot on there wouldn;t be the need for sliders in the first place.
PES5 and 6 were perfect in that aspect. Learn EA how to do things right.
You think you will be on throne forever? (deja vu feeling here, because they thought EXACT same for PC back in the days, until PES came and turned tables 180 degrees).
FIFA is not simulating football it's representing it on pitch.
PES is simulating football at it's core, but is not representing it on pitch. That's the problem

. (animations, atmosphere and other stuff surrounding the football game are missing. I believe licenses are not a real problem for true football fans as there are and always will be patches available).
So yes, I am eagerly anticipating PES 2013, because I know this year again, FIFA will turn into marketing piece of c**p.
