I'm tending to agree, I will get both PES and Fifa. Fifa for playing with my mates, PES for playing by myself offline. The more I've played PES, the better it's got, you learn more things, more ways to play passes, different crosses, different ways to attack crosses (diving headers, bicycle kicks, chest volleys, half volleys, etc.), it's class. I'm looking forward to getting my head around the defending. I've defended pretty much the same way on Fifa since the PS2 days (successfully, too), just jockey and hold circle to get the CPU to close down, when their player sprints, take it off him, simple. On PES, I've not been able to do this, so I've spent a lot of time chasing shadows, but I've also had some class moments, last gasp interceptions etc. it's been fun.
I actually hope Fifa's really good this year (obviously because I'm buying it) but so I can have a really good go at Ultimate Team. The Ultimate Team aspect is class and brings a proper fantasy footy feel to the game, I just got bored of the annoying game play.
I was looking at the PES menu the other day and was wondering what they Champions Leaague thing's about? Surely it's not just the Champions League? It would be fun I guess, but I hope it's integrated into some sort offline manager/career mode thing. (Is it still the Master League?)
