I've played FIFA since 04 till 17, and I've always been so dismissive of PES without giving it a go. Recently, I played PES 2017 and the PES 18 Demo and they were both the best football games I've ever played.
There were so many new things that I could do. Passing the ball by chesting it, controlling the ball with the thigh, turning my man inside out, dictating which player makes a run and where to.
The passing feels heavier, slower and not as perfect, like an actual football. I tried so many forward passes which would've worked in FIFA but just got intercepted, or my player got pressured and lost out on strength to the defenders. Made me realise I have to work the ball around more before finding the gaps, like an actual football game. Unlike in FIFA where it just pings to your teammate so quickly, so perfectly and so well controlled that it's like pinball.
The shooting also feels different, with every shot having a different feel to it. The first few games I played, I missed almost 60% of my shots. Unlike in FIFA where I know it will always be a goal or at least force a good save, if I kick it from this position at this angle, with my joystick pointed in this direction. It makes every goal feel the same.
The only players in PES using Barcelona that I can pick up the ball with and run at the defender with ease is Messi and Neymar. Unlike in FIFA where almost every player feels capable of doing that.
Not to mention the tactics and game plan before the game starts, which is so much more complex in PES with attacking instructions and defensive instructions that I could never do on FIFA. Having inverted wingers with fullback pushing up, and busquets dropping deep between the two CBs while in possession, and counter pressing immediately after losing possession. Whereas in FIFA, 99 pressure feels the same as 40 pressure. And even at 99 aggression, your AI teammates never tackle, just hovering around the opponent without ever challenging them. Whereas in PES, my AI teammates often tackle better than I do!
I was so surprisingly delighted with my experience in playing PES. After getting so bored of playing FIFA for 13 years, with every game feeling the same, and winning every team on legendary using the same formation every game, I'm so glad I gave PES a go. Even though it's difficult to play at first because there are so much more commands, tactics and just things you can do on and off the ball, I enjoyed it. I never raged when the opponent score cus it was always my fault or bad plays. Whereas in FIFA I got so mad so often.
I really hope that FIFA players would give PES a fair go before slamming it. Because honestly, I'm never going back to FIFA after trying PES. Sincerely, a former fan of FIFA of almost 15 years.
balabala76 I played PES 2017 and FIFA 17, and I couldn't DISAGREE with you more. The poor graphics compared to FIFA take a toll on PES, and the gameplay was much choppier than I anticipated. FIFA is much better, and I don't think typing a short essay yourself about it is necessary.
Brighton and Hove Lad How is PES' graphics worse than FIFA's? Presentation yes, FIFA is much better but graphically both are about the same. I mean, both games are played at the same angle and distance from the field, so how detail do you really need the graphics to be? (Not saying that PES nor FIFA graphics aren't detailed).
Why do you say that the gameplay is choppy? And why do you think FIFA is better? You don't really give me a response as to why your reasonings are as it is. Doesn't really add anything to the conversation.
balabala76 I don't need to give a reason as to why the gameplay is choppy. That's my personal opinion after playing the game, and nothing else needs to be said. And it's quite obvious that FIFA's graphics are better, and it's not hard to tell.
balabala76 no wonder to someone who's been playing fifa since 04. I stopped playing WE/PES when fifa 11 comes out, until now. thats the turning point I think.
Brighton and Hove Lad I agree. The gameplay and animations still look awkward though it’s getting slightly better every year. However, until they can match fifa, they’re always going to be behind.
Wow FIFA fans are so salty right now.
Leta see how salty youll be when fifa sells 40x times more AGAIN. Ign is a known pescocksuccer anyways. Bet theyll give fifa an 8
You sound like you are gonna get a cut of the sales. The fanboyism is strong in this one.
while you must be so proud bout an ign rating
Huh? You really identifiy yourself with fifa. Kinda sad.
bws Yeah, cos there's no 10 years playing BF...?! lol
If PES have all licensed club names and everything. Nobody will ever play FIFA.
Slipknot 133 option file
Of course they will don't be stupid. Ultimate team and pro clubs are still better than any game mode pes has to offer whether they have the license or not. Unless you like playing offline against boring ai then maybe you'd choose pes.
Kon rad i looked online on how to get it for pes 2018 but can't seem to find it
thebeast12333 make friends, play with them
Kon rad from where to download option file
PES 2018 will be getting my money this year. FIFA consistently chooses "style" over "substance" and frankly, there haven't been enough improvements to the gameplay in recent years. Career Mode is dead.
Erik J Career mode? FIFA will remain in the top because of Ultimate Team. PeS can't offer that experience...
Erik J how will u say career mode is dead have u seen FIFA 18 ?
Angel G Some people don't like ultimate team. Master League is usually better than Career Mode to be fair.
Because its not changed in 5 years all Fifa is now is a game to sell Ultimate team cards its all bother with
Erik J You say "Career mode is dead" PES didn't do anything on this career mode... come on now....
9.2/10
"Too much football" -ign
Ankit Parate 😂
Hahaha hahaha
9.2/10 ''Too much pro and evolution , not enough soccer''-IGN
Too much grass
Been a FIFA fan for as long as I can remember... Been playing PES2018 this past week and I can safely say this is football!!! Yes the menu design is prehistoric but the gameplay makes FIFA look like PONG! Great game 👌🏻
Hi (sorry for bad english)
popeyes biscuit Hay, How ar yu dooing? (Sory four bad Inglish)
Hola (Perdón por mi spanish)
Bonjour (idk how to speak French)
Cyka blyat (sorry for my chinese)
its ruskii m8
Pes deserves 9.2 rate. İts graphics and gameplay is insane
FIFA's graphics are way better...
Brighton and Hove Lad your joking arnt you ? The players look like there mate out of clay on FIFA
Serkhan Alisoy I prefer FIFA's realism.
CEWIIH Maybe when Ea really take their time on making fifa more better then I'll switch to fifa
Rob Williamson Dayuuuummmmmnnn
I was PES fan from PES 3 to PES 12. In 2012 I switched to FIFA, FIFA was a great simulator, PES was arcade. Now FIFA is different, is faster than it should be, but tactically it's better than PES I think, but in general PES gameplay feels more realistic. At the same time I want to give PES a chance again I'm really addicted to Ultimate Team, Myclub is so far behind.
Between pes 18 and pes 17 who's the best ?
PES 18 demo is way smoother than Fifa 18 demo ...
Sachin M ik in Fifa demo I have to back out completely and pick teams to restart
LOL you've obviously never played the FIFA demo
Haha the pes demo was the most boring demo I have ever played. Pes need to work on the presentation
Luka
I've played it for the last 3 days
It's a bit too complicated and PES demo was definitely far smoother
FIFA was more like moving puppets than players
Jhon
I completely agree
But
It's still smooth and great football
PES more realistic, Fifa more fun to play. Just my opinion. I’m good at both but I saw myself enjoying Fifa a bit more though goals feel more rewarding in PES
Best Pes better than 17, 19 and 20
Fifa is like Iphone. Pes is like Samsung.
You summarized it. So true. 😂
Firman Wahab weird enough I have an iPhone and Fifa.
W
So... Fifa is for stupid people. Okeyy!!!
That doesn't sound positive, it should be vice-versa.
Commentary looks unchanged form pes 2016!
A. Masood but do u have a problem when EA has the same commentary for over a decade?
Who Cares?
TomoCooking yeah cuz there good I don't even know what those commentators say they just scream 😂
TomoCooking I ve never played any football game except PES 2016.
A. Masood ur missing out
9.2/10 - IGN
Dorin Vlad That's what it should be..
That applies to FIFA 18.
themaniacboy that implies to pes
in pes 2018 is better than 2022
I wish they made this many skateboarding games. I miss the 90s for that... Prying for skate 4
Your wish came true! Did you enjoy Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1&2 remake?
Good game but the defender always open up and allow easy through pass,the commentator is also annoying
young mouss i hate commentary
Michael Gregory can't remember not playing music while playing games.
this game is about tactics, maybe you should watch some tutorials (how to defend on PES2018) U can turn off the commentator also if you want to?
In pes you must control the defender manual, if youre not, it would be open up
young mouss that commentator talks like he didnt brush his teeth for 20 years
Is it me or did she suddenly start speaking faster and louder part way through?
Just bought PES 18 and so far I don't regret my decision one bit. The gameplay is miles ahead of FIFA. I've played the 10 hour access of FIFA and it is the same game as 17, I almost feel like I'm playing the exact same game and not even the menu had changed in years. Seriously if you are considering buying PES...do it.
Jake Page THE MENU IN FIFA HAS CHANGED YOU BELLEND. PES HAS SHITTY GAMEPLAY. NOW GET OFF LSD AND BUY FIFA.
*"Too much grass."*
9.2/10
-IGN
Great review I will switch to PES this year...
They did not need to make massive changes as it was the best football game the last 2 years
Kate Ground
They do have to make changes. Can't release the same stuff every year y'know.
There not they make changes but there is no need to for as the review said massive changes
Yeah no it hasn't. They need to make changes otherwise they'll never get out of fifa's shadows.
thebeast12333
I don't really think they're in FIFA's shadow.
Shivam Thakur Yeah the sales say otherwise. If pes was so good people would actually buy it.
Was this recorded on Gamecube? Or are grass textures now DLCs?!
Pes is actually better than Fifa this year
How would you know if FIFA isn't even out yet?
mkat490 we hear that every year stop it
fifa is for kid
Pes has been better for years now.
mkat490 Hahaha! oh you were being serious..! 😁
Still the best FIFA ever. PES 2018, an arcade PES that Hits just right
You can probably run this game at 120fps on a potato!
PES is the king where it matters. Gameplay and being fun over anything.
pes 2018 isnt played by hands, but by brains. at first, i hated the way the applied com marking isnt a nearest man thing, but as times goes by, you will surely love it, its a kill joy for those who just mark with both buttons tho, but it really makes defending not a one way thing anymore. pes will make you feel like you had an orgasm if you win against a very good opponent. it makes you think like a mad man, makes you plan like you are about to fight a war. then licensing? lol, i play on xbox, you know there isnt a patch, but as soon as i learned the game, it gave me the inspiration to edit the teams myself. if you like fifa, please buy it, but if you like football, buy both, and play with friends, you will be amazed how pes really is. adios
As a pes fans the bad thing they talk about pes 2018 is absolutely spot on, but man... That score is just straight ridiculous.....
PES>FIFA, and this year even 10 year olds will appreciate it
Excel lmao I bet you're 10 year old
Im a fifa fan and i will always be a fifa fan but. I know how to respect a game that is genuinely better this year. Pes18 you won.
I have PES 17 and nothing here sells me in the upgrade. Konami first advertised PES 18 as the evolution of the series... but from the demo and this review I see that it's not.
The demo feels different than the real game, I played both.
Well then the demo failed to do its job in enticing potential buyers. I usually alternate between the two so they feel like actual purchases every other year
Pes 18 > Fifa 18
9,7 from my point
Konami messed up PES 2020. Tbh this was the best PES in years. More responsive and a joy to play.
the last time i liked a pes game was back in 2013 playing pes 2013 , but when pes 2018 came it became my favorite pes game
Even during the wilderness years of pes there was always a great football sim hiding beneath an always unfinished game. Great to see it coming to the fore.
Wtf to put in my psg settings when i choose who is penalty kick taker ,cavani or neymar?
:):):):)
What are the advantages and disadvantages of PES 2018?
Am I only one who just wants the old style pro evo back i.e pro 3,4,5,6 quick one touch passing was so much better than this realistic crap!
I used to be a FIFA freak till FIFA 16. Then last year I brought PES 2017. Now I'm a PES player. Hail KONAMI.
I switched from FIFA to pes for the first time this year :D
I hate it when people complain about the licensing not being in PES. Just buy the cheapest USB stick and get a patch, boom no more man blue and you can add the bundesliga. Also PES having the champions league license is huge.
PES 18>FIFA 18
I love and play both but I normally lean more to FIFA but this year PES looks a better buy. From now on I'm alternating between the 2. PES this year and FIFA next year
Red-Haired Shanks Ea might try to make the animations much better and it's gameplay
The fact that this review wasn't recorded or exported at 60 fps kind of ticks me off. It doesn't do the game's graphics justice.
9.2 ??? how about defenders running in to the box even on legend difficulty, huge empty spaces and the AI attacking the same way every single match? cant say anything about free kicks cause i havent seen one yet.
This narrator has heavenly voice
Just played the PC demo and my god it's more impressive than FIFA, both gameplay wise and graphically.
Get the licensing fixed, the running animations, and the net animations then this game is sorted.
Please do yourself a favour if you own a PS4 and give PES a go licenses ain’t an issue when you can download an Option file off the internet for free.
Lol I got a Fifa add before the video
Your Mum that's ironic
The game 'flickers' on my tv. Like it zooms in and out off focus or changes resolution. Does anyone else have this problem?
Add broadcast camera and its like your watching real football on tv
Here's my 2 pence worth. I used to be a PES player through and through. Until about 2009/10. FIFA simply got better, and was better than PES. However, FIFA 16,17 and from the demo, 18. Are rubbish! 16 was ok... So this year, after all that time. I went back to PES. Honestly, I'm still not sure... It plays good, but feels really "arcadey" ... Maybe I'm just learning from scratch again, and just aren't used to it. I dunno. I'm enjoying it, but there's so many things bugging me about it.... For one... Headers. I literally cannot header the ball. No matter what I do, how I time it, whatever. My player ALWAYS tries to volley it. It's pissing me off and have no idea what I'm doing wrong. If anything... I'm gonna persevere with PES this year because I've made that choice. Just hope I start enjoying it more than I have.
Been a pes fan for years but the sheer unwillingness of konami to fix details like online play, myclub, commentary, soundtrack and menus mean I have to give this a miss. Yes the gameplay and graphics are great but when you buy a game (at these prices) you want all aspects to be at a certain level. To sum up: FIFAs gameplay isn't bad enough to make pes the better option
I bought my Steam key from 23€.
I bought PES 2018 and you guys forgot to mention how shitty the "Basic" shooting is, that makes you miss simple goals, or even how when you press the button to switch players it switches to one far away from the play. Still better than FIFA tho.
what? that didn't happen to me.. They have this icon on the next players you will switch too right?
Yeah the cursor switch is an issue. They try to predict where the ball is going to be played and then switch the cursor to that predicted area. Really freaking dumb imo
Moses that's why there's manual cursor changing 🙄, this shouldn't be a problem.
Luís Pescadinha i think it's better because it'll make you more precise, leaning towards manual
Missing goals? PES always seemed to let the ball fly in the net
i play both fifa and pes but have been a FIFA fan boy for years now. So i thought about purchasing this game the other day because i was sick of fifa 17, and once i got started downloading the custom files for licence kits etc, i have to say pes gameplay has improved over the years... i'm not saying i will pick pes over fifa but i will be playing it a lot more from now on.
Isnt this a repost? or like a week late from FB upload?
I'm trying to decide whether to buy this or Fifa 18. What does everyone mean when they say PES doesn't have all the licencing?
This game plus the 2021 season smoke patch shits all over epes 2021
Hands down the best pes ever. IMO... I wonder what were the reviews for fifa 18 lol....
My first time playing pes was pes 10 and I just loved that game after that I got into fifa but with pes 18 I'm back in the pes army and it feels great
Basically PES is for the more hardcore football fans, who enjoy a pass breaking the opponents lines just as much as a long shot goal.
At first I thought that the UA-cam Resolution was playing at 480p and I tried to change it, then came to realization the video is playing at 1080p... explains a lot about the game right there... what a shame :-/
So is this better than 2020 and 2019 ... ?
PES "The King has returned " to take back his throne
The game is beautiful once again!
Does this game have loot boxes, P2W or otherwise? My internet searches are doing EVERYTHING they can to prevent me from finding out, to the point that if I find a website that seems to talk about the MTX in PES 2018, the page won't load. I found four that said it discussed the MTX, and all of them refused to finish loading, never even getting an error message.
Still a little confused as to why Konami is using the Fox Engine for this.
I'll buy PES, download the official name and kits and enjoy football !
No matter how good FIFA's presentation is, No matter how much money FIFA spends in its commercials, PES is MY RELIGION!
Have they changed the budget in Master League so you can actually adjust it? Also have they changed youth players as well so they're not the same for every team you choose.
I've bought PES for a number of years but I will be buying FIFA this year. I can't handle the unlicensed teams, the irritating commentators and the lack of modes anymore.
if u had really bought pes for years you would **100%** know about option files by know
Drakener I see your point, but FIFA is way better.
Brighton and Hove Lad HA funny both games R THRASH WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT THATT
Random selection is fun. i won't lie...in the trade round, what i normally do is to buy my opponent's keeper... works like magic!
Fifa realized all the feature before PES. you name it.
for example, Goal Celebration, Flick/Freestyle, even Ultimate Team will be featured here.
oh one thing, standing tackle, its FIFA's first then PES tried to apply it. I used to be a PES fan, but Konami stay too long in his Comfort Zone. I will try these two and still decide to play FIFA instead of this masterpiece.
only ever played PES/ISS or Winning 11 here since SNES,PS1,PS2 etc LOL. PES is a much deeper game. Japanese programming. Deep.
Erm didn't you already post this last week ?
The only thing keeping me from getting PES is the lack of licensing once they can license more stadiums and team kits and logos I probably will make the switch from fifa
Dele's new celebration: middle fingers
Wtf...The review in progress and the actual review are 85% the same thing?
Manager name: Chris Finch - surely someone else noticed that Office reference as well as me? 😆
Don't know about consoles but PES is ruling the mobile devices by a country mile
Just playing pes for first time..Where to find all clasic teams?How to get legends in my club?Coming from Fifa and this is so different
When you click on a pes video and a fifa 18 ad pops up.....
I wish Oblak had a face in FIFA :/ And the Dortmund and Barça stadium..
I love PES but i hate net shape and tension and feel when you score a goal.
No review on defending?
IGN - there is a serious problem with the online. just can play online
way behind FIFA.
altough, the game is much better (when offline offcourse).
How come pes is not a streamed game ?
PES18 gameplay is unmatched.On field PES wins. Fifa off fields and Mode are better than PES but what matters the most is the gameplay
Are goalkeepers better than in pes 16 and 17?
PES should improve its atmosphere and pitch.In FIFA players moves like sailing when they walk
Sirojiddin Media & Software in pes, they move like they are sliding
Joshua Garcia 😂😂😂
If the commentary of PES is changed, i think this game will be incredible
Sughesti sukma they can't, it's lincened to Ea only
Higher rating than FIFA 18?
I play 3 matches in pes 2018 ( ball physic wow, passe and graphics) then i go TEST fifa 18 hhhhhhhhhhhhhh mickey mouse its like a table football :D
Ask Design Group I don’t know if I could trust you with grammar like that.
yes its easy
Says a guy who uses the words quote on quote "hhhhhhhhhhhhhh mickey mouse"... it trully speaks for itself
Ask Design Group played pes, Boring and they are so slow, I do a ball that any normal person would get to but no they don’t want to
Jp 11 stop lying
If I don’t have a pc can I download the optional file?
Not a football fan at all but I am a sucker of reviews about them
Greetings from Germany
Definitely thought she said "great for series followers of the series" at the beginning.
Fifa 16 in mobile awesome
The only thing I do not like about PES is the Grass.. Looks too green and Unreal..it just feels like a green flat surface.. Can't feel it's texture.. FIFA's grass looks better..the ground looks more close to realistic
