I feel like the current FIFA games play like the Pro Evo game I always wanted. Conversely, the latest PES games seem to play like everything I hated about the old FIFA's.

Have you played both and do you genuinely think this years PES is better? Are you biased to PES like I used to be, or do you actually think it is better?
Yea I genuinely think it's a better gameplay than FIFA.

It's the dynamics of the game which i prefer, and this years PES is much more fluid than last years, I would agree last years PES was a step behind the year before, but this year they have created a more fluid and responsive passing system, the defending is also different with the jockying of the players being the biggest assest when defending.
The passing has improved as ya can turn off assisted passing which means where ya point the stick/pad, thats where the ball goes rather than to the nearest man, which helps greatly when playing the ball into space, or through balls.

The demo came out in 2 stages this year, the 1st release was only 60% complete, so dont read to much into that honestly, the full game is much more improved mate

I honestly think on FIFA it seems pre-programmed as to where and how the ball will travel, also player individuality seems non-existent, eg John Terry or Robert Huth will have the same 1st touch as a Lionel Messi, now thats not realistic.

Each to their own I guess, but for me PES is the one I play
