FIFA is the game I play with friends, PES is where I get the individual enjoyment. There's just something about how PES masters the emotion of the game. You may not be in as much control as you are when you play FIFA, but the emotion of the game makes up for it in spades.
    I agree. I was playing a Fifa MM with Liverpool based on discussions on here about Normal speed being better and wasn't bad but the one area where Fifa is constantly a let down is the tactical side of things. I was playing vs. Man City and they went up 1-0 on a Tevez goal in the 75th minute. they then took off Tevez and put in Adebeyor (sp?) for him. Why on earth would you do that wen you are up 1-0 with 15 minutes to go they also kept pressing as well.

      Yeah, it's a shame. I actually feel about PES like I did about NBA2K back in the day. Love everything about it but some of the missing licenses and the lack of control you have in some situations. I think PES will get there in those departments, just like 2K was finally able to put out a stellar game this year. I want PES and FIFA to merge...LOL!

        Just getting through the last weeks of the winter transfer period. Drogba ended up transferring to Sporting. A week later I get a huge offer for Messi from Chelsea. Times four of what his in game value is. I ended up quickly rejecting as I'm not selling my favorite and most important player.

        Also Real Madrid has been very persistent in trying to acquire Maxwell. They've been throwing offers almost weekly at him even though he's not on the market. I've been thinking about selling him and moving Adriano to starting but haven't. And defiantly ain't selling to my rival.

          I agree. there are still things that bother me in PES but those are less of bother to me than some of the stuff in Fifa. If Fifa had less pressure and more space in midfield it would be much better. Fifa also needs to get on par on the tactical side of things as well. I feel there is no reason to bother with tactics in Fifa at all.

            I hear you on this Ezio. PES is far from perfect. The player switching can be annoying as hell, I'm regularly playing games with less than 5 total fouls for both teams, but the depth of ML keeps the game interesting. I think if FIFA had a CM that worked and wasn't a total bore I could forgive a lot of the shortcomings from a game play standpoint.

            When you combine subpar BS game play with a poor CM, you have me hustling that back to Gamestop to trade in for PES. Which is what I did. I could care less about the correct uniforms and the Australian League(no offense).

              That is exactly what I'm looking for. I have messed around with FIFA settings and making excuses for the Career Mode as I was addicted to FIFA for the past few years, but I just want something with depth. Could you please let me know if you are playing on the PS3 or the 360 and if you are using an Option File? I do not fully understand PES as I have never owned it, but it sounds like with the updates the game provides for full names and the endless files around the internet for kits and leagues, this could end up being a more complete football experience. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
              Go to PESFan.com message boards and the Editing>Option files section and click on Dragonskins Xbox 360 OF and there is a guide in there to transfering and downloading. That might help your understanding on the process a bit better. Also, Daymos has a new option file out at pesgaming.com with the N-Power teams and will have another file out in a month with Bundesliga teams.

                Ok thanks for the sites...this is going to be my project for the weekend. I found another guy who did some work on top of Mr. Gametights base file too so after hearing these 2 from you at least I have some options. (no pun intended) I think Im gonna go with the PS3 version as there seems to be more files out there. If I started a Master League with a certain Option File and then the creator updates the file, would I have to restart the whole game mode, or is it like the new "patch" from FIFA that just worked its way into the game mode? Gettin pumped for this weekend, thanks again!

                  If you get the US version get it for 360, if you can order from online get a UK PS3 version. I think Daymos's 360 file is the best US compatible OF and it's still growing with the Bundesliga addition coming soon.

                    Agree get the PS3 UK version if possible my friend has it and it makes me wish I had a PS3. It has a great community but also Daymos is good too but I would wait for the later release.

                      Back on the master league topic, I asked this a ways back but does anyone have any youth team stories to share? It's probably my favorite aspect of the ML.

                      By the way, Shimizu is an excellent AMF that starts on the Youth team if you take the default line-up.

                          Considering your choice of team, I'm not surprised... Once an OF with the Championship is out for US PS3, I'll probably give it a go with Arsenal.

                            So, I decided to take Sunderland (the team I just started to follow because my ancenstors are from there, lol.)

                            It was the first round of the FA Cup, and I had a tough draw - Arsenal. But, lucky for me Darren Bent went nuts. Four goals in 29 minutes. Ended up winning 4-2. That was the highest goal tally for me so far. I play on 10 minute halves/professional.

                            I am currently 9th in the Premier League, about 10 games in or so.

                              Rolling with the Yellow Submarines!

                              Struggled out the of gate early trying to tinker with my lineup. First match lost 2-1 to Real Sociedad. Figured out early that I can't play Rossi alone up-top. He's quick and change direction fast but if he's in the middle by himself he gets bullied and pushed off the ball. My only score came off a Marcus Senna volley. His right leg is a hammer!

                              2nd match tied Deportivo. I went with Rossi in a SS role with Jozy up top. Jozy's first touch leaves a lot to be desired. Ended up tying with them 0-0 but the big news came after the match when it was announced that we had come to terms with MF Gago from Real for a whopping 24million pounds. Our rivals Valencia couldn't be too happy with this.

                              Match 3 saw us lose 2-1 to Osasuna while Gago completed his paperwork. We went with an attacking lineup of:

                              Rossi - Altidore - Nilmar
                              Cani - Santi
                              Senna

                              and it cost us as we got caught twice pushing too far up the pitch and were quickly countered. The fans were not too happy with this start, especially with a trip to Camp Nou up next.

                              Match 4 we headed to Barca to play in the rain against a fully healthy squad. We knew that it would come down to the MF so I decided to start 2 DMF's in Gago & Senna that can get forward when necessary. We also left Jozy on the bench. He scored in the Osasuna match but when he's in there I feel more inclined to send balls in instead of using Nilmar & Rossi's creativity. We started out great with an early headed by Cani set up by Nilmar who beat Maxwell with pace. Barce countered with a tip-in from Villa in typical Villa fashion after Pedro got behind Capdevilla. Pedro was causing us major problems down the flank so I had to tell Capdevilla to mark him and lessen his runs. 10 mins later Rossi tapped home a deflected shot by Nilmar who continued to beat Maxwell with his pace. In the 2nd half we packed it in and played the counter. We took off Nilmar for another MF and just withstood the constant Barca pressure. People always think Barca is a purely offensive club but they chase the ball better than any club in the world. GK Diego Lopez came up with a couple of big saves and we got 3pts in Camp Nou!!!

                              Table:

                              Osasuna - 12pts
                              Real Mad - 12pts
                              Sevilla - 10pts
                              Zaragoza - 9pts
                              Barca/Valencia/Atletico Mad/Hercules - 7pts
                              Deportive - 6pts
                              Racing/Real Soc - 5pts
                              Villarreal/Sporting Gij - 4pts

                                Hey therizing - can you expand on what you did to change your playing style? I'm messing around with tactics, but ended up going back to FIFA and find it more enjoyable. I don't want to give up on the game, but I'm majorly annoyed by small repeated instances in PES, like the constant through ball, my central defenders helping out the fullback and doubling the winger, leaving major space in the middle, and the fact that the D line sits so deep on goal kicks that the central mids are the only ones battling in the error. I'd love to hear what some of your tweaks were
