Konami, on the other hand, has the essence of the game but has lagged seriously in the presentation and control aspects. Its, frankly, never had proper presentation and the controls are simply dated. That's the problem for fans right now......FIFA has a better animation/collision engine, but still doesn't "feel" like a proper footie sim. Konami has the "feel", but the controls and animations desperately need work. Neither game is really hitting all of the marks right now. FIFA 10/WC was a big step in the right direction and hopefully PES 2011 will do the same. It is good to see the sport getting the proper attention from both companies, and both products are becoming better for it.

Not only that but most importantly FIFA has the licenses. Combine that with some very unique online modes and it's going to take Konami spending some $$$ to get back it's place.
