6. FIFA Is More Than Just Playing The Game
Another reason why FIFA just about edges out PES in our opinion is the fact EA's venture doesn't just let you play the game, it allows you to learn the game, too. With FIFA, the game is more than just what happens between the first whistle and the last, oh so much more. Last year's iteration, for example, brought in a variety of skill games, which work as mini-games do in that the player can hone their skills or simply goof around while waiting for the loading screen to go away. These skill games incorporate a variety of levels where the player aims to knock down boxes, bend the ball around the wall and dribble past training cones in order to boost a variety of skills, skills which you can then bring to the table come kick off. And it is this level of detail that EA puts into FIFA that makes it a more enjoyable experience.
