I still had a lot to learn it seems, some way to go to understand the nuances of how to play PES, rather than just playing FIFA in a different game. Clearly my years of FIFA had paid off right? Well, not really, because either through incompetence or sheer complacency, I somehow ended up drawing that game 3-3 and feeling like a bit of an idiot. Then another came, and then another, and I went in at the break 3-0 up, feeling rather happy with myself. I settled into a rhythm and scored my first PES goal. The match started very well, with me able to move the ball about relatively well. A team that should pose a challenge, but hopefully one I wouldn’t be humiliated by. I chose my team, Manchester United (feel free to berate me in the comments), and then picked a random team as opposition, ending up with FC Genk. Yes, I went for the “Alternative” control scheme, just to give myself half a chance, and then went straight into an exhibition match to cut my teeth. My first foray into this strange new world was an eye-opening one. So with a slight sense of trepidation, I embark on PES 2021. We’ve won Division 1, but it certainly isn’t plain sailing, and there’s lots of setbacks, laughs and banter along the way. Often I’m a CDM that can pass, occasionally tackle, and whose shot on goal from last night, is probably still rising into orbit. I spend a lot of hours on them each year, truth be told, but mainly online with mates, teaming up in the Pro Clubs portion of the game. I should perhaps be clear before we go any further, despite playing FIFA titles for years, I am in no way a hardcore fan of the series, or indeed very competent at it. Here’s how I got on, and what I discovered on my journey.
#PES VS FIFA UPDATE#
But despite that, I’d keep coming back to FIFA throughout the years.īut with the PES 2021 update now released, I’ve decided to break my PES duck and return to a Konami football title for the first time in nearly a quarter of a century. ISS 64 with its infamous mail merge commentary overflowing with enthusiasm was great, and it had menu and title screen music I can still hear to this day. I’ve not even touched a Pro Evo game since, well, before Pro Evo existed. And for this handsome gamer, since the hazy days of FIFA 95, there’s really only been one winner for me. Forget Nintendo vs SEGA, this is the real console war. When it came to console football games, you were either FIFA or Pro Evo, EA or Konami. Two tribes of gamers have existed since the dawn of time.
