I have always been a massive Pro Evolution Soccer (Pro Ev) fan. Ever since the old days of ISS Evolution of the Sony Playstation. When I was younger though before I experienced ISS, FIFA was always the football game that mattered. FIFA 98: Road to the World Cup was fantastic, but the next couple of installments were pretty similar without evolving.
Then ISS came into my world. It was so different, you could feel the weight of a pass, the power of a shot, dribbling was more fluent and sensitive. The only downside was the fact that there wasn't any licenses and all the players had fake names..but this soon changed over the years as the popularity increased.
After many years of improvement and the further installments on next-generation consoles such as the PS2. Pro Evolution Soccer was amazing. From PES 3 to PES 6 they were unrivaled. The gameplay was fantastic, the licenses were better, the players faces and movement was uncanny...and it made my life that little bit sweeter!
However, when the PS3 and XBOX 360 came out, Konami had trouble progressing to the next generation and FIFA reclaimed the crown of the best football sim, however I stayed true to PES and always purchased it and played it religiously despite the massive errors and poor gameplay - not to mention the terrible online mode.
But this year, PES 2010 has started to climb back onto its feet - not quite to where it was on the PS2 but it is clearly making improvements which make me look forward to the next installment in autumn this year!
FIFA will have a fight on their hands I think!
