Late September. He doesn't look like someone who's really into games, so I can understand that he won't notice the buzz around a new game until (early?) October.
PES will always have a loyal fanbase. I really hope PES gets more licenses this year as stated in the pes 2019 thread. Champions league is a big blow but if they make up for it with some more licensed teams it will be easier to swallow. PES did in my opinion an awesome job with the presentation for champions league I really hope FIFA nails it.
Ha ha, it's not exactly a secret or hard to find the numbers, the comparison is laughable.
Do any of the major sports games have any competition?
FIFA/Madden own football
NBA2K is more or less the only NBA release of any significance.
NHL is EA
MLB is Sony
Best soccer game in the world gets better! Hopefully, they just rename the competition to the Real Madrid Champions League after we win back to back to back on the 26th.
PES was a country mile ahead of FIFA in terms of gameplay in the PS2 days but still lacked in numbers. Sales aren't be all and end all for some companies.
This discussion is one that has gone on for far too long. Option files are available
Yeah, but there's obviously a lot less money spent on PES than FIFA, but they keep making them, so it must be turning a profit or else, given what we know of Konami, it would have been dropped.
No, but I wish EA would invest more in NHL. It's obvious that the people working on it care about the sport and features. Threes has been an absolute revelation.
I loved PES over FIFA, but seems they were always fighting a losing battle with EA pulling alot of money out of its ass and bribing for exclusivity. FIFA is greedy but would've preferred competition, now I'm stuck with sim based futbol and EA having no incentive to improve mechanics.
EA has such a monopoly. I remember when there was more than just FIFA and PES. We had dedicated UEFA games, Virtua Striker, Sensi Soccer, Club Football, Actua Soccer etc
Even Sony used to do a first party footy game (TIF).

Konami fucked up the franchise during the transition to 360/PS3. The first couple of games on those platforms were nothing more than PS2 ports. They screwed over their fans with that lack of effort and never recovered the reputation.
Pes has no competition license anymore: no Champions League, no Europa League, no Libertadores. Only remain AFC Champions League (maybe).

PES is doing great for Konami, generating a lot of profit. It doesn't come close to FIFA in terms of revenue and units sold, but it doesn't need to. It's a great, mature product for Konami and dropping most of the licenses makes tons of sense. It doesn't need the licenses to be good.
I enjoy PES and FIFA these days. PES is better, and I play it more, but FIFA is just beautiful to experience presentation-wise.
Both are great. It's a fun time to be a video game soccer player.

That's the same i'm hearing. Pes 2018 sold the best since 2014. It's far from dead in sales.
I gave pes 2018 a try since it was added last week to gamepass. Played nearly 30 matches. FIFA is just a much better, polished game on any imaginable dimension. The gameplay complexity is also very noticeable. Theres literally dozens of typicall football actions that dont even exist on pes. Let alone the terrible presentation, with early ps360 menus aesthetics.
PES will always have an special, unique place in my heart for the countless hours of fun i had with it during my childhood (batistutaaaa) but god, the gap with FIFA right now is monumental.
Which is bad, because having no real competition wont push EA for taking more risks in the future.

Now that's a deep cut. Neither of them can compare to Galfano
School lunch time mode.
Survive the shin kicking, the bad tackles and being shoved off the ball to be crowned king of the playground
Agreed. I really hate the hyperbolic statements from fans of either series, that one is miles better than the other, or the other is trash. Both series have reached a level of competency, that you can't really go wrong either way. I prefer the gameplay of PES currently, but have still got hours of fun from FIFA.
The bigger problem with both series imo, is that they really aren't worth buying every year, especially if you're a primarily Career/ML mode player like myself, and I'd really like to see EA and Konami tackle this properly. I skipped buying any of them this season, the only reason I'll be playing them is due to XGP and EA Access.
I get a copy for free every year but i didn't play that much of fifa 18 apart from the pro club..and that too has been bugged since forever and my player can't improve anymore,..and they never fixed it.
don't know it sounds like a bad news all things considered..sure it's cool to have the cups in there..but if EA was phoning it in ,now they wil do even worse...lack of competition is bad.

Literally my sentiments too. The UCL wasnt even used very well by PES it was effectively a skin. Master League needs to be sorted though I have a ton of ideas to make it better its a shame they don't incorporate even some very basic things.
1. Drop that stupid player rating system never get higher than 8.0. I mean wth i've never understood that.
2. Goddamn Regen players how hard is it to retire a player and give him a new name and haircut. I don't want a reborn F.Totti be like Champ Manager and just him a generic name F.Gennaro.
3. Individual player history. I mean come on I play 5 or 6 seasons sometimes I just want to know how many goals my striker has scored in that time without trudging through menus with a calculator.
4. In terms of gameplay more penalties, more injuries and have actual training drills before matches to boost condition or stats or tactical boost dep3nding on who you are playing.
5. Transfer requests. If your not playing a player he requests a transfer.
6. Fix the transfer market why is C.Ronaldo playing for Milan? It makes no sense when some players move. Its an easy fix too... use the club ranking system and make sure C.Ronaldo can generally only move to a club in the top 10. Do the same for Isco but change the parameter to top 20. It will increase the realism off the bat.
I could go on and on honestly.
Yeah, ML in Pes is quite outdated and it's definitely disappointing they only talked about two-three little addictions to it this year.
So now there will be 3 FIFA games in the top 15?
I wish i liked FIFA, but i just dont....this part of the world 70% of console owners main FIFA every other game is just some fluff they wanted to try out.
So i know this is going to be big news once its announced....ill get a couple of my FIFA friends hyped up.
