PES or Fifa - Which One

[longranger]

Just was wondering what is the best game to get this year????

That question can get some heated responses. In my opinion it comes down to this:

Do you mainly play online? Is presentation and flash a big deal to you? Do you want to have just about every league in Europe in the game? Are you ok with weak CPU gameplay and generally weak gameplay? If yes, then FIFA 17 is the game for you. It's got the glitz and shine, the eye candy, the nice menues, awesome soundtrack, the leagues, ect. I just don't like the AI

Now, if you are all about gameplay and into the tactics of football. And are on PS4/PC and don't mind putting in a bit of effort to getting real clubs, the PES 17 is the game for you

Opinions vary and people are passionate about both games. OS reviewed PES 17 an 8.5 and Fifa 17 an 8. Metacritic reviews as of now are PES 17 an 86 and Fifa 17 an 84 respectively.

I think both games have things going for them and with either you're probably not going to go wrong.

I personally own PES and like it a lot. I am not ruling out purchasing Fifa somewhere down the road as I have enjoyed it in the past.

In my opinion these are the differences, pro's and con's:

Presentation: FIFA
Online play: FIFA
Career Mode: FIFA
Full licensing: FIFA
Graphics: FIFA, although there are some player faces that look waaaay better in PES.

Training: FIFA
Progressing and training youngsters: FIFA

On the pitch Gameplay: PES

For playing against people I prefer Fifa.

For playing against the AI I prefer PES.

When I was a teenager I remember reading on a video game magazine a review for FIFA98, and when comparing it to iss pro 98 the reviewer's comment was "it comes down to this: if you love soccer more, you'll prefer FIFA, if you love videogames more you'll prefer pes"

I think after 19 years this is still the case...

If you want to play a football game buy PES. If you want to watch a football game buy Fifa.

Fifa would give you a more complete overall experience. Has a great presentation and a lot of licenses, wich sometimes makes me thing that it´s more like some promo product than a game. On the pitch, Fifa might leave you in awe sometimes, but if you played Fifa for the last two years, I believe you won´t find revolutionary changes on that department.

PES lacks a lot of things regarding presentation and licenses. But the career mode is still enjoyable and in fact, I consider it to be more adicting than the Fifa one. The individuality of players gets me more excited when I buy a new star in PES than in Fifa for example. On the match itself, it´s a complete diferent thing, and not meaning it´s undoubtfully the best option, it is the one wich has totally changed for better. PES has been known before for the balance between arcade/simulation along with fun factor. This year they have made a huge step towards that again, but I guess You can try that on both demos by now.
