The tricks for the most part are sloppy and only occassionallyeffective, the tackling is an absolute joke, the shooting can be embarassing at times and set pieces are so badly done it's unbelievable.
Shooting is probably the only thing thats still better about PES, I think the worst thing about PES is the long/short passing and off-the-ball A.I its just sooo poor in comparison. To me, those are the most fundamental parts of a good football game and Euro 2008 make pes feel like a joke.

The passing is better in Euro 2008 than in Pes, but I seriously can't believe you think set pieces or slide tackling is better in Euro 2008. Or the gameplay in general for that matter.
Fifa is very close to becoming the more realistic football experience, but it certainly isn't the most fun in my books.
IF they refine the gameplay, and improve the shooting like a couple of people have said, this game is going to be freaking awesome. And I also agree that Euro 2008 beat PES in every department, and by quite a big margin.
Also, graphics in the two games are like day and night, like a drunk motherf*** and George Bush...........wait no, the last one is actually not a good comparison.
Playing Fifa08 with everything set on all manual pisses on PES2008 from a very great height. I dumped Fifa in the late 90s and went from ISS on PS1 - PES on PS2 all the way through to PES5 and then got fed up with Konami's lack of improvement, they just gladly kept taking the cash for minimal efforts and upgrades, at least with the advent of "next gen" EA started from scratch with a new engine, Fifa07 - UCL - Fifa08 - Euro 2008 were all giant steps compared to PES' tiny little steps, oh joy a new PES, new images of an old man sat on a bench, new animal heads!

Hmm, EA is really making better games, good for them. Is this coming to PC also, the PC ports so far are abysmall
The PC version of Fifa09 will feature graphics that are "almost" the same as the next gen version, with gameplay and features from the current gen version.

Yeah, they always say that. Then when the time comes, there isnt even a resolution option, and definetly no graphics options lol.
EA Sports games on the PC are so far behind everything else thats its comical.
However, on the 360/ps3 they are utter bliss.

Ugh….scratch that previous comment. The upcoming Game of Thrones video game is a F’in mobile phone game. Why can’t they came an open world GoT game, like Witcher 3 or God of War? (> 3 Months ago)

By FAR, the upcoming Game of Thrones King’s Road was the Game of the Show! It plays like God of War Ragnarok! :) (> 3 Months ago)

Commented on 2008-07-01 21:29:08If Fifa keeps improving as it does and Pes keeps on failing to fulfill its potential, there's only going to be one winner in the end.
