PES 2011 vs FIFA 11
Both Pro Evolution Soccer 2011 and FIFA 11 are both released . This means we get to fight all over again over which is the best soccer sim on the planet. Last year’s match-up proved to be a bit of a non-event given that the improvements made to FIFA 10 pushed it so clearly ahead of the floundering PES 2010.
Thankfully, console football’s biggest rivalry has just got interesting again. The new version of Pro Evolution Soccer is a marked improvement over the last attempt. EA has a few tricks of its own though, and FIFA 11 is more polished than it’s ever been.
Gameplay Improvements
FIFA - who in the past have been met by criticism for minimal improvements on the previous games seem to have added a few additions for the upcoming FIFA 11.
1)Personality+: This is supposed to reflect each players individual attributes more resulting in a clear differentiation between players.
2)Pro Passing: This will mean that the gamer's accuracy in passing will reflect the actual accuracy of each pass in-game, also the accuracy will depend on the player being used in the game.
3)Fifa Theatre: For the first time ever in the Fifa Series, Players will be able to create their own soundtracks that can be improted into the game. Players can also create customised chants that can be imported and set to play when the players are coming on the field, at haltime, when goals are scored and at the end of a match.
4)Creation Centre: Players can now edit kits, names, home stadia and players on the internet and download to their console and share it with friends.
Pro Evolution Soccer - who in the past generations of football games were considered the king ahead of FIFA, have struggled to match FIFA on the Next Gen Scene. This year looks very promising for PES fans as Konami have promised a much improved game with lots of new features.
1)Total Control: Konami are said to have improved the 360 Degree passing ratio, meaning the player will have a much higher level of control over passes, shots, throw ins, through balls, and lofted through balls. Players must weight their passes precisely and anticipate the runs that their team mates will make.
2)Shot and Stamina Gauge: The all new stamina gauge will detail the exact level of the players fitness. Constantly sprinting will hurt the players fitness level, this will affect the players movements and passing ability.
3)Speed of Play: The additional levels of control in PES 2011 allow the speed of play to change dependent on the situation of the match. For instance the game will quickly liven up when a counter attack starts. Passing will be the key aspect in PES 2011 with long runs not being as effective as in the previous games.
4)New Defender AI: The new defensive AI means that the defenders now stay in position and no longer chase any ball that enters their area, instead they try to close down the attacker forcing them to make a mistake.
5)Stadium Editor: With the stadium editor you will be able to recreate any stadium in the game, You will be able to choose the capacity, the turf style, the nets, the roofing and the tunnel placement, whether the stadium has a running track or just grass around the pitch and the distance the stands are from the pitch. There will be space to create 25 additional stadiums on top of the 25 that will be in the game by default.
Pro Evolution 2011
Pulling off tricks is now a much finer art in Pro Evolution 2011. There are lots of new flicks, tricks and special moves to try out. The best thing is, you can assign these yourself to certain button combos, so you’ve got your favorite ones ready at any time.
The gameplay in Pro Evo could still be better. For example, the AI of the computer opponent is still frustratingly predictable. This means that it becomes very easy to beat once you’ve played a few games. 
FIFA 11
The new gameplay features in FIFA are more subtle than they are in Pro Evo, but they really help to add polish and class to the game.
Perhaps the two biggest innovations are Personality+ and 360-degree jostling. Personality+ is a system whereby players move and behave as they do in real life. This means, for example, that the ball will stick to Lionel Messi’s foot like glue, Wayne Rooney will run around like a chicken after loose balls, and Didier Drogba will score lots and lots of goals.
The new 360-degree jostling makes defending more realistic. A player is now able to hold off an opposing player by backing into him and swivelling around to try to gain space to move away with the ball or pick out a pass.
Handballs can be switched on in FIFA 11, adding a new element of excitement to the game. It seems that you can’t handle the ball on purpose, but occasionally a defender will automatically stick out his hand to stop a shot or a pass. This can be frustrating at times, but, of course, it could sometimes save your skin.Another interesting innovation in FIFA 11 is the ability to control the goalkeeper, which adds a new dimension into the gameplay. In general, keeper AI has been improved to make them more fallible and to give them characteristics of their real life equivalents.
One of the changes we didn’t like is the new penalty kick system, which is based around a power-bar. This feels very clunky and unresponsive and spoils what was a perfectly good system before.
Graphics and presentation
Pro Evolution
Animations of both player and ball have been improved in PES 2011. Player movements are slicker and the way they run feels more lifelike. The flight of the ball is much more realistic and it carries more accurately than the 2010 version.
Up close, the player likenesses are better than they were, although the facial expressions still need some more work. Every time a player opens his mouth and I see his chewing gum smile, it reminds me of how much slicker the rendering of the players in FIFA really is.
The last release of Pro Evolution saw some welcome improvements to the menu system. This time, PES 2011 goes even further, adopting a cool look interface and delivering a formation and tactics menu that actually makes sense.
FIFA
Although in-game graphics and animation don’t appear to have changed much, the up-close face detail in FIFA 11 is much improved. Likenesses are even more realistic and the wow factor is heightened by the fact that facial expressions now differ from player to player, adding more character to the matches.
In terms of audio, FIFA 11 is ahead of Pro Evo. The in-game commentary in the latest game is fantastic, and feels much more ad-libbed than the rather wooden chat of previous versions. The commentators make astute observations in the right places and regularly make conversation about specific players or teams, which gives FIFA 11 a real TV feel.
I love the fact that you can now add your own crowd chants to the game. You can either record your own or use real-life audio footage of fans singing your team’s songs. You’re even able to change the music that the players walk on and off the field to.
Game modes
Pro Evolution
Although the demos of both games are restricted to exhibition matches featuring a small selection of teams, we already know more or less what game modes will be in the final versions.
Pro Evolution Soccer 2011 retains the Champions League and Europea League modes, adding with it the Copa Libertadores and the UEFA Super Cup. Much more tantalising though is the proposed online Master League mode, which will allow you to assemble your own teams then compete in real time leagues with others online. Online has traditionally been woeful in PES, so this could be the catalyst the game needs to improve in this area.
PES 2011 also boasts a new stadium editor, team editor, and an Extras section where you can get access new match balls and accessories for your players. As a result, you can play as a team of dogs running around after a barrel. If you want to.
FIFA 11 still has about a million different officially licensed leagues to play in, from La Liga in Spain to the Irish Premier League, as well as exhibitions, training modes and the Be a Pro.
The one big change is to the Manager mode, which is now known as Career mode. This is apparently a mixture between Manager and Be a Pro, allowing you to start off as a player then move to become a player coach, then a fully fledged manager, as your career progresses.
