Comparison between PES and FIFA

This issue has been debated for a long time, and I am here to join in the fun.

There are so many football games on the market now, but no matter which one they are, they can't shake the status of FIFA (EA Sports) and Konami (Konami) in people's hearts. No matter who the two games are, they have their own characteristics and their own loyal player groups. But now, with the "sudden enlightenment" of Live Broadcasting at the end of 2003, the game was ported to the PC platform, and the debate about "which of the two games is better" has emerged among the majority of players, and it has lasted for a long time. Fans of live games always laugh at FIFA for being unreal, and super long-range headers are BT; FIFA fans say that live games don’t even have an official certification, and they are really wild children that no one cares about.

As a loyal FIFA fan, I will naturally participate in this debate. In my opinion, FIFA is an official expansion film for world football every year. You can see almost everything about world football here; in comparison, live action is just a game.

The reason why I like FIFA is because of its cultural inclusiveness. In FIFA, you can not only find the familiar top leagues and top teams, but you can also find some teams from low-level or non-mainstream leagues. For us Chinese players, probably most of us have never tried some relatively unknown teams after playing FIFA for so many years. They seem to be dispensable to us. But think about it, if you were born in England and were a fan of a League One team, how wonderful it would be to use it to win the FA Cup in the virtual world. As long as your level is not bad, FIFA can let you achieve this goal. Looking back at the actual situation, due to licensing issues, they simply excluded some relatively small teams, looking like a feast for the rich. As a result, their consumer group suddenly became smaller. It is said that the official PES6 has actually disappeared with the entire Bundesliga. How ridiculous.

The issue of licensing is very complicated. Putting it aside, FIFA still has a lot to be proud of, the most prominent ones being the graphics, details and sound effects. FIFA's graphics are always the best among football games. The stadiums, lawns, characters and even decorations are all vividly depicted. Especially the stadium effect, there are magnificent stadiums such as Old Trafford, San Siro, and Camp Nou; there are also some exquisite small stadiums, low-rise stands, parking lots behind the stands, and buildings. Will it be as satisfying as the FA Cup to lead a wealthy team to meet a low-level league team here? The wristbands and even finger guards on the players' hands are clearly visible in the game. The celebrations of specific players also look very interesting after scoring a goal. Of course, there is another issue to talk about, which is the sneakers in FIFA. Fans who have played FIFA 07 may find that even the stars in 07 only have one specific sneaker, and many players also wear the somewhat ugly EA sneakers, which is not as dazzling as the FIFA 06 World Cup. Some players, including Casillas and stars like Ryan Giggs, do not have their own exclusive sneakers. Looking at the live broadcast, everyone is wearing famous brand sneakers. It seems that EA is not as good as KONAMI in this regard, but if you think about it carefully, EA handles it very seriously. Without authorization, it will not appear in the game. There are also a lot of problems with pes' sneakers. Ruud van Nistelrooy actually wore ADI shoes. What a shame.

Live action fans have always believed that WE is more real than FIFA, but in terms of authorization and graphics, FIFA is more real than WE. And is the live game process more real than FIFA? I personally think that the reality of the live game is mostly based on the so-called "not easy to score goals". Some time ago I came into contact with WE a little bit and I found that for their so-called reality, they actually sacrificed more reality in some aspects, downplaying long passes. Is the most important performance. Fans all know that no matter how skilled the team is, long passes are indispensable. However, the effect of long passes in real life is extremely poor. Even if the pass is accurate, it may accidentally touch out of bounds or be easily destroyed by the opponent. Over time, the effect of long passes is extremely poor. , the long pass was forgotten. I have played against some relatively strong live players online and found their tactics to be extremely monotonous.

There are no long passes, but short passes are used to penetrate into the opponent's half little by little, and then there are probably only two options, a pass from the bottom, or a through ball to leave the opponent's defender behind - live players laugh at us FIFA players They can only pass the ball from the bottom to grab the header. Do they have many tactics? What's even more disgusting is that after their forward players entered the penalty area, they knew that the goalkeeper was very powerful and it was difficult to score directly. They actually pushed the ball outside the penalty area when they had a great opportunity to shoot, thereby shaking the goalkeeper and shooting into the empty goal. I once had my opponent break through the door in this way three times in a game, which was a great shame. Not because of the score, but because this method of scoring is simply an insult to football.

Some people say that FIFA is pursuing a sense of refreshment. In fact, the current FIFA is much more real than live action. Take live action as an example. Some experts can even control Ronaldo 1 on 11, which is unimaginable in today's FIFA. In addition, when the goalkeeper makes a clearance, he can hit the ball across the half court with a single attack, which will also put people who claim that the live ball path is real to shame.

After talking about the live broadcast for a long time, let’s talk about FIFA. FIFA is now evolving extremely rapidly due to strong live challenges. The most exciting of these is the "Manager Mode" introduced in FIFA 2004. It allows you to experience the fun of playing football manager. The transfer negotiations, youth training system, sponsors, contracts, assistant coaches, scouts and other elements are all included, and there will be some emergencies waiting for you to deal with. In live broadcasts, there are even jokes about wealthy leagues, and there is also a very ridiculous gameplay - first adjust the speed to 2 times the speed, adjust the difficulty to 1 star, play for a season, and then wait until you have made enough money to buy big-name stars. Then you will become an invincible warrior. Moreover, reincarnated players, BT players and other elements appeared in the live broadcast, which is obviously in pursuit of entertainment. And if you play FIFA's manager mode for a few seasons, you will find that the team is completely composed of young players, and your youth training system is also very critical. After such a comparison, it is clear who is more real.

However, FIFA has not forgotten entertainment while taking the real route. For example, you can even replace the more than 30 European and American pop music in each generation of FIFA works with your own MP3 music. In addition, the European League highlights introduced from FIFA 06 have enhanced the collectibility of FIFA. At the same time, FIFA's commentary is more professional than live action. For example, in the FIFA 06 World Cup, when you used the England team to win the Hercules Cup, the commentary even said "This is the first time England has won the World Cup in 40 years since Bobby Moore won the cup in 1966", which added to the excitement. The game is authentic and entertaining. The FIFA 06 World Cup also provides the "World Cup Cinema" feature for players who cannot go to Germany to watch the game, allowing everyone to enjoy the scenery and stadium of the city where the game is held, making up for everyone's regret. I almost forgot, FIFA also recently launched the FIFA STREET series to follow FIFA's motto - the pursuit of refreshment.

Some people say that FIFA has been imitating live broadcasts. In fact, there are many aspects of live broadcasts that are learning from FIFA. For example, making the characters lifelike, introducing national leagues, obtaining authorization, spokesperson strategy, multi-platform strategy, etc. At most, these things can only be taken from one or two. The reason is that KONAMI is a small company and lacks financial resources. FIFA's EA is a big company with deep pockets. Just licensing the SPORTS series is a big expense, not to mention FIFA has 7 spokespersons. The live lessons learned in FIFA are all considered from the perspective of the game and are easy to learn. And I have almost learned it now, because the feel of FIFA 06 is almost exactly the same as PES6. In addition, FIFA does not forget to innovate while imitating. For example, in terms of player logos, FIFA not only introduced this system, but also divided the logos into three levels: gold, silver, and bronze. You can tell the quality at a glance. Therefore, once FIFA takes advantage of live action in games and then integrates its own characteristics, it will inevitably surpass live action.

However, FIFA once had a fatal shortcoming in the past, that is, there was no physics engine problem that could be solved. This is FIFA's biggest weakness, and it has also become the biggest reason for many live fans to abandon FIFA. However, judging from the recent fifa08 09, the physics engine has made great progress and reached a very high level. The trial version of FIFA 10 is also available online.

To sum up, the fact that live streaming still controls the hearts of Chinese gamers is purely due to the popularity foundation laid by previous generations. In terms of game quality, it has been caught up and surpassed by FIFA. However, there have been very few recent improvements to the live broadcast, which is in sharp contrast to FIFA's tireless efforts. Now looking at the world, the reality is that it can gain a firm foothold in the Asian market. In the eyes of European and American players, FIFA has always been an orthodox football game. If this continues, it will only be a matter of time before FIFA completely surpasses live broadcasts. Live broadcasters who have been resting on their laurels should be careful.
