this is a big thread, in honesty i havent read through it all
I have pes6 adn fifa 07
camparison wise
well have to say pes plays better on the pitch
fifa feels more scripted, and the cpu defenders foul for too much without the computer seeming to realise that pulling a striker to the floor in the penalty box, by his shire IS A PENALTY and a RED card for the defender. When that happens 5 times in one game, I usually scream and play somethign else.
I do find it difficult to find my way around the out of game area in pes.
when trying to pick your team, the little graph comparison thing is ok, but I woudl much prefer to be able to actually see the skill numbers of my players to make a proper judement as to how I want to play.
The big fault with Pes, for me is the lack of licence. That is the one thing that will keep me shelling out my hard earned for fifa. I like to look at my chosen team, play them and see how I can get them to the prem.
I have edited portsmouth, made them Stoke, changed the strip, and put in all the players I coudl find that play at stoke (not many, I found hoefkins, grifin, bangoura, hendrie and berger, 3 of which are only at stoke on loan but thats all) So it at least feels like im playing my fave team. But then the only league set up is the master league, random teams by the looks.
Being able to edit the kits so comprehensivly is excellent, and that is another score for PES.
If only they could get real tean names and real leagues, I think fifa would quite quickly disapear (certainly from my shoppign list)
