Pro Evolution Soccer 2013 – back on form?
GameCentral’s resident football expert offers the last word on the
surprisingly close title match between EA’s FIFA and Konami’s Pro
Evolution Soccer.
Manchester United vs Liverpool and Rangers vs Celtic are great
rivalries that have kept football fans entertained through the years.
Pro Evolution Soccer vs FIFA is the equivalent of these titanic clashes
in the football video game world.
These two heavyweights have gone head to head over the past two
decades, with both enjoying spells of domination, but lately one has
been much better than the other, just like United and Celtic are
currently better than Liverpool and Rangers.
At the moment we live in the FIFA era, with the EA game having been
superior over the past few years. But for the first time in a long
while, PES seems to be catching up, and the latest Konami football sim
may have positioned itself perfectly for an assault against its rival
next year.For a long time PES was said to have better gameplay than
FIFA. Konami’s dominance in this field was so strong that it negated any
criticisms of the game.
Yes, FIFA had a better user interface, most of the licences and great
music but because PES had better gameplay it was considered the best.
Well that changed a while ago and now, FIFA has an advantage in this
area but it’s not as significant as it was last year.
Football
is the world's most popular team sport, played by millions worldwide.
It involves two teams of players kicking or heading a ball towards and
ultimately into their opponents goal. There are various different
formats of the game with different pitch and team sizes but the most
prevalent format - and the one used in the Olympic Games - features two
teams of eleven players playing outdoors on a grass pitch measuring
approximately 105m x 68m.
