The two big franchises, Konami with his PES and EA Sports with his FIFA, have been competing for supremacy for years, Although it seems that this last one has been made with the first position of sales of the market.
As it usually happens at this time of year, both platforms present their novelties although they do not fully reveal their weapons. Like every season, video game lovers, have the opportunity to live dream seasons with the club of their loves among others. The battle promises to be exciting.
PES was the leader for a long time and wants to regain the throne
PES was the franchise par excellence for many years, the total soccer simulator, although then it lost steam before the push of a FIFA that took a substantial quality leap. This forced Konami to improve their product that seemed to have stalled. The inclusion of many new licenses, the improvement of the simulator and the appearance of all the stadiums of the Spanish League last season, were some of the best that PES included in its version of 2013.
What news will PES present 14 versus its predecessor?
This question is what many of the users will be asking, sobretodo, those who are in doubt between one product or another. PES will improve one of its weaknesses compared to FIFA, the licenses, although it will still not reach the FIFA numbers, which has practically all major leagues.
The exclusivity of international team competitions such as the Copa Libertadores, UEFA Europa League, Champions League and with the novelty of the Asian Champions, is another of the points where PES beats FIFA. The opportunity to play a real match of those competitions with logos, protocols, hymns, jerseys and real ball, sells a lot.
PES 14 It will include the Brazilian League in its entirety and it seems that it will include the Argentine League. Another novelty, it will be the importance of the public in motivating the players that will influence their game, state of mind and form. The Konami team wants you to eat in real life, the public is a determining part in the game.
Another of the strengths of PES with respect to FIFA, is the internal editor. In PES you can literally reproduce the faces of players who are not licensed as well as create stadiums or uniforms. Freedom is broader than in FIFA. It seems that Konami is going to enhance the editor in addition to improving the textures of the faces and expanding the licensed faces. As a visual enhancement, will include tifos and other visual effects in the presentations of the matches.
The gameplay of the product will also improve in the latest version of the PES. Control of the ball will be extended to 360 degrees with respect to the player and the team will behave in a more fluid and natural way. During the game there will be more contact sensation, thrusts and loads with the body.
PES 2014 will go on sale on 19 September and will not have a version for new generation consoles. Here you can see one of the promotional videos that Konami has released to promote the new PES 2014.
FIFA leads the market in recent years
The FIFA franchise made the final leap with its FIFA 10 for the latest generation consoles. The EA Sports franchise was the first leader in history when in 1994 took out the FIFA SOCCER 94, the first great soccer game to come out for platforms like the Sega Mega Drive.
Despite having been with FIFA for more than two decades, During the early years of the new century he was surprised and outmatched by his Konami rival, especially in the consoles of the previous generation.
