    Ya i agree it is good game , but the flight path of ball shown in game is more realistic in FIFA 08 ... the movie playback feature would be good if brought in to game ....

    Fifa 08 is certainly better overall. Just compare PES 08 & Fifa 08 on Xbox 360.

    Fifa08 graphics is alot better than PES 2008. Not mentioning the overall presentation of Fifa 08. Game play wise, all along PES gameplay is the best. But after giving FIfa 08 a go. I must say you really cannot compare both the gameplay as they are diff. Both gameplays are great. But for god sake, PES 2008 is really a let down.

    Just for you information, Im a PES fan.

    i was a pES fan just until i got my 360, because when you own a 360, you don't want to play a ps2 game, and that's what PES2008 is, a ported PS2 game, i am sorry, but i am so disappointed after what i'm seeing in my ex-favorite game, seriously, don't waste your money, Fifa 08 is the best game of football nowadays, this is without any BS

    Pro Evo's gameplay and edit mode is fantastic. I do enjoy playing FIFA though as it has the Scottish league and the Coca Cola Championship.

    gameplay wise PES wins hands down. FIFA feels like your rolling on ice LOL. Who cares about licenced teams ?? I dont. Also frame rate is stable in PES 2008, dont listen to Guy Cocker, he got this plain wrong. I have PES 2008 for 360 and the frame rate and graphics are even better than PES 06.

    TO ALL YOU 'SO CALLED' FIFA AND PES EXPERTS: Funny, very funny indeed. To see people talking of how they like the FIFA 08 BE A PRO MODE, Which explains why companies have to PUT IT IN YOUR FACE. But if you paid attention to PES WINNING ELEVEN GAMES since #6, obviously #7 and #8 also, you have an option to LOCK on ONE PLAYER ONLY and play the MASTER LEAGUE, you can choose any camera you want that best fits your gameplay and he will rise points (as all players do), an automatic button appears so that you can ask for the ball in order to receive passes. So in RESUME, FIFA DID NOT COME WITH SOMETHING NEW, THEY JUST POLISH (AS IF) A FEATURE BY PES WINNING ELEVEN, so go play your PES 6, 7 or 8 and find out about that new "FEATURE" GREAT DISCOVERY, BRAN NEW INVENTION BY FIFA!!!

    I liked PES 07, but this year FIFA seems to be where it's at. Can't wait to get back into it after not having a 360 for 2 weeks!

    PES 2008 would take the crown IMO. Fifa 2008 still feels like the ball is covered in glue and interceptions are a piece of cake. By the way, you guys should check out this online interactive penalty shoot out game with real players. None of that 2-D crap. Fun stuff ... Also it seems you have a chance to win your xmas wishlist!

    PES has been a real let down this year. This is coming from someone who has been dedicated to the series since ISS 64! That's a long time, but finally FIFA has made a better playing game plus all the features are great, and after years of putting up with the lack of licenses I have finally had it with PES. C'mon Seabass, you make the most popular football game on the planet, at least get some more funding for all the licenses for god's sake!

    And dont get my started on the online play!

    The only positive I can take from PES is that variety of international teams. The rest is just no good. But well done EA!
