Fifa 12 or PES 2012?

I quite like both to be honest. FIFA has raised the standard in the last few years, and I really like the new game, although I need to play it a bit more (I don't have a console, just play with my mates).

PES has come on quite a bit, and has definitely become more realistic, while retaining an arcade feel to it. It just stops you from dribbling through the whole team like you used to be able to do with Messi, Ronaldo, Rooney etc.

I'd say FIFA is the must-buy, but PES is definitely worth a go as well.

If it weren't for Ultimate team/AFC Wimbledon/none of my friends have PES but loads have FIFA

Then I might have gone for PES
Or
Neither, and just continued with PES 2011 and FM

Err...do people not know you can change the defending back to the previous way in the wireless controller settings....much easier..

when you get used to it, you actually begin to prefer the new defending method. it gives you a sense of achievement when you win a game.

Fifa 12, imo is awsome.

I personally think defendings great, I lose a hell of a lot, and concede frustrating goals but thats part of the fun.

As for pro, cant comment, was going to buy it aswell, due to the fact that for the first time in ages I actually have some money.

But with COD, Arkham city etc coming out I wont really be bothered to play 2 football games.

Im sure its good though.

But imo it would have to amazing to beat fifa 12.

I am pleasantly surprised with FIFA I have to admit

I much prefer it to FIFA 11, which I just did not like

FIFA 11 was far too easy. Someone mentioned a sense of achievement when you win a game, that's exactly what it feels like

I play Fifa 12 on Xbox offline only. But I'm thinking of getting the Xbox Live to play it online. Is it worth it?
