When i first sat down to play PES, i was expecting something better then FIFA, what i got, was an old 90's start up menu, horrible gameplay and graphics that are overated. The gameplay is poor, the players run at ridiculously fast speeds, and the many unlicensed teams and players is just many things that put PES 2008 below the ranks of Fifa 07 and 08. Yes, Fifa has many flaws, especially Fifa 08. I know PES is still very popular, but who can honestly say that this one is a great game? Though, i can say there is a few good points that FIFA doesnt have. Due to EA's lack of caring for the small things like fan realism and referees, Pro has always had the referees on the pitches, linesmen and stadium atmosphere. Though i think its fair to say that Myspace.com is not a football sponsor, though, konami seem to think it is.
