Well, long time since my last post... playing games and stuff but also getting awfully nervous about the choice I'll have to make in a few weeks...
FIFA 09 or Pro Evolution Soccer 2009!? You know the deal, as an european gamer ( who is YET waiting for Rock Band... ) I like soccer. And soccer games are the most played at home, with friends... Here are my thoughts on both games.

Fifa 09 is the evolution of FIFA 08 by all means. Graphically it surpasses Pro in every way. It sounds perfect but it lacks of that PES gameplay... I tried the demo and they're doing a great job in terms of gameplay but it's still two steps away from PES...
Pro evolution Soccer 2009 is the redeem title from Konami after last year's Pro Evolution Soccer 2008 which was the first next-gen soccer game for the PS3 from the japanese company. It looked pretty bad, the series have never had a good soundtrack or fx... but it played better and with friends it was awesome... although it had a few technical problems...

So I need to make a choice, I'll trade my PES 2008 copy but I don't know which game to buy... I must admit I like SIMULATION style over arcade... so I shouldbuy Fifa 09... but PES 2009 should definetly play better than PES 2008 and as long as I've seen on screenshots, will look better... and it's better with friends... but Fifa 09 has an awesome online... and all teams and leagues licences... but PES has Messi in the cover ( and living 40 miles from Barcelona and supporting Barça that's a thing to count in )...

I must make up my mind, quick!!

Today - Fifa 09 70%    Pro Evolution Soccer 2009 30%

and waiting for Pro's demo on the psn... soon...

Cheers, shalom!  :)
