![]() ![]() ![]() The game-changer was 1997’s International Superstar Soccer Pro – follow-up to the well-received early PlayStation kickabout, Goal Storm, and namesake of 1994 SNES title International Superstar Soccer. “The word ‘classic’ is used too much,” wrote Mean Machines Sega magazine, awarding it 94%, “but anyone who plays Fifa Soccer must concede that this IS football.” Critics and football fans loved its isometric viewpoint, realistic animations, end-to-end action and spectacular bicycle kicks. But Fifa was a flashy newcomer, designed for the 16-bit console era, and within a month it had sold 500,000 copies. Contemporary hits Kick Off 2 and Sensible Soccer both adopted an overhead view and lacked any kind of big-league sponsorship. When Fifa International Soccer launched on Mega Drive in December 1993, its competitors were already beginning to look old-fashioned. It was the latest shot in a turf war going back 25 years. ![]() The reason? Barca are an official PES 2020 partner club – and publisher Konami reportedly wasn’t keen for him to promote its main rival. Yet his first-round match against Eibar’s Edu Expósito never took place. If they can get their act together with the use of modern technology, they can sure catch up.E arlier this year, Barcelona’s Sergi Roberto was due to compete in a charity Fifa 20 tournament, which ultimately raised almost £130,000 towards the fight against coronavirus. The saving grace for PES is that the game has a tendency to hook you slowly and it is one for the long haul. While PES 2009 has scored some goals with their licenses of big leagues, they have a long way to go as many unique licenses are still held by Fifa. With its reworked look and neat interface, Fifa 2009 looks set to dominate the football games part of the gaming industry. In my opinion, there is a clear winner for this year and the honors go to Fifa 2009. However, this is where it stops and the other players are little known and may not grab attention. Where PES 2009 scores is they have managed to get big name licenses like UEFA Champions league license, Manchester United License and Liverpool's License. This is one area which makes PES a good buy. The game play is smooth and natural and goes with the flow. Talk about going back to the golden age! But, the flip side is that the graphics leave much to be desired. PES 2009 comes in a neat version that takes us back to the popular PS2 version that won many a gamers heart and purse. These eye catching additions would amaze the most diehard fan. They have also added Be a Pro Seasons Mode, the Adidas Live Season and the 10-on-10 football. The ability to specify the camera to switch any angles will sure be a delight. The latest version is much improved than the earlier one and they have paid particular attention to the dynamics of ball physics and the collision system. Their policy of getting feedback from the gamers has paid off as they have incorporated several features that were missing last year and they have addressed some downsides as well that were a sore point with the fans last year. This is one game that is widely anticipated by gaming fans and the latest release does not disappoint them. In this article, I look at both the games and check out what's good and what's not with my opinion thrown in. This year it's no exception and both gamers and football maniacs are going crazy over the two games, Fifa 2009 and Pro Evolution Soccer 2009. Every year all football gaming fans go crazy on the two top football games.
