    I bought both, I've always been a PES fan. But this year I'm returning it and keeping FIFA. I've been going PES over FIFA for about 10 years now and honestly I feel like I'm betraying a friend but in all honesty I feel that this year FIFA is the better game. Though clearly PES has the looks, FIFA has the brains. Just in terms of jostling for the ball, I couldn't go back to PES after I saw how brilliant it looked on FIFA. I will say that the F'd kit for Boca Juniors was a huge minus for me. but even still. This year is all FIFA for me. #proevolutionsoccer2010

    Is PES the same series / game as Winning Eleven?

    I used to love the series (more than EA's Fifa) back in the PS2 days. Sad to hear it's gone downhill over the years :( #proevolutionsoccer2010

    Nice comparison there.

    If you're able to change button config in the Fifa game i'm willing to try both. I'm mostly looking for the game with the fewest animations from first contact to control. Pes09 seriously dillydally'd around with the ball for far too long, making you a sitting duck, basically.

    I long for my arcade football fill.. Pro Evo 5 (PS2) is still the pinnacle of football gaming, imo, as it was as fluid and paced as the player demanded of it. Very harmonious balance, it had.. #proevolutionsoccer2010

    @D-K, a burning sensation: FIFA has had for a few years now the option to use a "pro evo" control setup.

    Players in FIFA can take control of, and get rid of the ball much quicker #proevolutionsoccer2010

    @Luke Plunkett: Pro evo allows me to assign my own buttons, which ironically resemble Fifa 2001's controls.

    i.e, circle to shoot and pressure, square to lob and tackle, L1 for pass (yeah, i know) and X to change players (the reason L1 is pass)

    When it comes to my football controls, i'm stubborn... unyeilding even.

    @D-K, a burning sensation: I agree with your comments. I have played Winning Eleven on PS2, and have PES 2008, 2009 and 2010 for PS3.

    08 and 09 were poor but 2010 is actually good. Especially the online which works and isn't lag. The graphics are fantastic, especially the lighting. There are also option files available (including US version) which has updated squads, fixed names and the correct kits.

    However I still feel the PS2 gameplay is most fun, but that's ok since the PSP versions have continued to use that engine and the gameplay is the same as the glorious PS2 releases. Try PES2010 for PSP if you want that gameplay.

    When I was in Japan a handful of years ago, I heard about PES and didn't know anything about it.

    When I hit the front page and saw this review, I still didn't know anything about PES. Kinda makes me wonder why they're still making the game.

    In truth, I'm sure there are diehards in the areas of the world that grew up on PES so I'm sure this one will still sell. #proevolutionsoccer2010

    Can the game speed be changed?

    Has the free kick mechanic changed at all? #proevolutionsoccer2010

    Sometimes refs in pes just don't make any sense... and the game speed alteration may have countered clunky slow animations..

    @excel_excel: Yeah, but too bad that Konami's finally working Online is still going to be dwarfed by the options and amount of games played on Fifa. FIFA Interactive World Cup, Pro Club Championships, Head to Head, and Team Play give a great variety of online games. Just getting working now is, well, pretty lame.

    I will still never forget my late night Master League marathons and holding tournaments in the college dorms with friends from around the world on Pro Evo, but it's Fifa's time now. #proevolutionsoccer2010
