Pro Evo to FIFA :(

I've been an avid Pro Evo fan for many years but seeing how everyone around me is banging on about FIFA 2011, I've decided to at least rent it to and give it a bash. Don't get me wrong, i love PES2011 but sometimes i just find it frustrating with stupid bugs that are in the game.

Anyone else taken the plunge from Pro Evo 2011 to FIFA 2011, how'd you find it?

Most people made the jump around the time of FIFA 08. Personally I thought FIFA 08 was outstanding, I don't think they've matched it since though and I've now gone back to Pro Evo.

Neither is truly exceptional in their currents iterations, but I think FIFA is technically the better game and has more range. For some reason though I stop enjoying FIFA after a few hours, while Pro Evo still remains fun to me game after game.

Exactly why I'm still playing PES2011 but i just want to see what all the hype is about in regards to FIFA 2011.

I got FIFA yesterday and played it for a couple of hours, so a bit early to say too much.

My initial thinking was that wow, it look really 'pretty' and obviously has all the official licenses etc, then i got down to the game play, which isn't too bad either, except for one thing, the passing.

In PES2011, it has manual passing which i love when executed correctly but in FIFA the passing just seems slow, sometimes when i want to ping a pass fast pass along the ground, i can't, even when i have the power gauge to maximum. Am i doing something wrong? I've also set the game play speed to 'Fast'

Also, how do you download the latest data package for latest squads etc?

Yeah your lagging behind a little mate, I jumped ship back in 2008.

PES was quality and by far the best football game on the market before the "next gen" consoles came along and Konami seem to be unable to make a game to match the new hardware..... don't even mention the online aspect of the game, shocking.

Have you played PES2011? It just seems to flow better the FIFA for me at the minute. Online is MUCH improved also from PES2010, which was shocking.
