FIFA 15 Vs. PES 2015: 10 Key Aspects Reviewed And Compared
2. Community
The FIFA community is a lot bigger so comparing both fan bases might seem futile but there are more similarities than differences. FIFA 15 is a difficult game to love. Most players are devoid of basic football knowledge and it is for this reason that EA Sports continue to dumb down the gameplay. Ultimate team is a brilliant mode in theory, yet in reality, most games follow a pattern that continues to infuriate genuine football fans. Over the top through balls, speed, full assist no-look passing, speed, high pressure, all out attack and was speed mentioned already? It's not football but 9/10 players play this way to win at all costs. PES 2015 has been plagued with online issues since the first servers from Konami went live with PES 6 and still continues to struggle but not with their online infrastructure. Some online players still feel the need to cheat when things don't go their way and while Konami have improved things, it still happens in tournaments when big money is on the line. Both communities have their good and bad points and it would be wrong to let a few bad eggs spoil both games. The editing community is brilliantly helpful to newcomers and the community based leagues are great for fans who want to meet fellow players for friendly games without the online abuse. Winner: PES 2015
