Nice skill moves goals. But you're right, not realistic shots.

Resorting to internet cursing with asterisks? Really? Surely, this is not the type "moderation" Operation Sports is espousing? What a mature message your sending there sparky.

Well, tough guy. Its really none of your business so please stop flexing your anonymous internet muscle. I am not impressed.

If someone offers to share something to those of us who want to see it thats their business, not yours. If no one offers anything, thats also their business, not yours.

The tensions are getting a little too high now. I think everyone can agree the insults and the like can just stop because that doesn't accomplish anything but make whoever says it look bad. It doesn't add anything to the conversation.

I believe OS inadvertently got this ball rolling by not including PES in the demo roundtable to discuss both games and not just one. Yes, I know that they simply made a choice of what to cover and write about and since this is their site I have absolutely no issue with that and would not want to deal with the things they have to on a daily basis. But looking at it from another perspective it is easy for them to do a roundtable on Madden, NCAA, NHL, NBA 2K, and PGA considering there are currently no competitors for those games. But there is an established alternative for soccer with PES. I would have liked to see a pros and cons debate from the OS writers on the 2 games and even if they all said FIFA was better at least they would have offered their views for everyone to debate in an appropriate manner.

Wow the thread sure gets a lot better when you add some people to your ignore list. Some peope really have an agenda when it comes to this game and it shows. Glad the moderators are not putting up with it.

Anyways still really enjoying the demo and can't wait for 09-27. The gameplay feels very organic and I am seeing a ton of variety. I saw the other thread regarding the funny things going on with the impact engine but I am glad to report I have not seen any of that and I have put a lot of time on the demo so I am not concerned at all. At least the framerate doesn't glitch every other second like another demo I have recently played.

I think what you fail to understand, is that the message QB is trying to get across to you is: "Stop with the PES crap on a FIFA forum". Every post I read from you inevitably includes some sort of "PES does this better..." sort of deal. This is a FIFA forum, and this thread is for FIFA impressions. Come over to the PES forum and tell us all how great that game is this year.

I don't know that it was the roundtable that got it rolling, this ball has been in motion for a long time, and it will continue to roll.

It's gonna happen when you have people who come to these forums that aren't the most knowledgeable about the sport. Because of this, I believe there are a good number of people who have some sort of brand loyalty towards one of the games. I imagine that those who love the sport itself see what each game brings to the table, and where each game is different. Everyone is generally in the same "camp", as it were. There might be disagreement, but there is no belligerence.

I personally know people who think FIFA is a fun game because it's FIFA, not because it's soccer. And while that's totally fine, it breeds a sense of conflict between the two games.

It's sad, but it is what it is. Some people might be able to handle it, but everyone will not be able to have a civil discussion on two opposing products, be it politics, religion, or videogames. This thread has taught me that. Also, I won't call it out, but there is some serious hypocrisy in this thread; that's the kind of stuff I'm talking about. Blind hate towards one game or the other.

Played a bit more today. I like the fact that the D pressures less on offense and actually gives you time to set up, I hated the ultra pressure last year.

I cannot get over the fact that the CPU is virtually flawless w/ its passing and crossing on offense - playing on World Class BTW. Thankfully there are sliders this year so hopefully it can be remedied somewhat.
