@MrBounce: Winning Eleven is the title used in Asian markets (and maybe in North America a few years ago?). It's Pro Evolution Soccer everywhere else. #proevolutionsoccer2010
Not sure where they'd go, but we'd be a lot better off if the Lions didn't accidentally end up on the national telecasts a couple times every season... =) #proevolutionsoccer2010
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: 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.
As always guys, you got any specific questions on stuff I couldn't get to in the review, fire away, I'll do my best to answer them. #proevolutionsoccer2010
Man, its weird. Before Fifa was the game with all the licenses and PES was the awesome game with none. Now Fifa has the licenses and the superior gameplay. Still nice to see the online is FINALLY working. #proevolutionsoccer2010
@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
@apollon: You're reaching out on quite a limb there. The Blu-ray comes with the PS3 normally while the extra controller does not come with the Xbox 360 normally.

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

I'm sure FIFA wouldn't be 2-1 down to Birmingham, that's for sure...

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

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.

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?
Can the referee's strictness be modified (slider)?
Has the free kick mechanic changed at all? #proevolutionsoccer2010
11/09/09
no
no
no #proevolutionsoccer2010
11/09/09
damn
damn
I can go either way..
Sometimes refs in pes just don't make any sense... and the game speed alteration may have countered clunky slow animations..
Well... Fudge!

You can't play international teams in Fifa? Can you change the button config though? #proevolutionsoccer2010
