FIFA 15 Vs. PES 2015: 10 Key Aspects Reviewed And Compared
9. Player Individuality
PES 2015 finally brings Konami's football giant back to the world of simulation and the results are magnificent. PES ID was first introduced in PES 2013 and Konami promised fans it wasn't just marketing - the players in PES 2015 are breathtaking. From Robben's jinking runs and Pirlo's on ball grace to Bale's blistering pace and John Terry's diving blocks, PES is a joy to play with the world's best players. Speed dominates FIFA 15 and architects like Alonso and Kroos are lost in the action but in PES it is these play-makers that make all the difference. The superstars demand attention on the pitch and the 1v1 battles are the best they've ever been in any football game. Goalkeepers are massively improved too. In fact, goalkeepers are better than FIFA 15's. Skill moves still need an overhaul as players like Neymar and Reús still feel sluggish through the animations but the unrealistic crazy juggle fest that FIFA 15 can become online is hardly a better alternative. PES 2015 requires players to use a team to win games while encouraging individual performances. Isn't that what football is all about? Winner: PES 2015
