    Pro Evolution Soccer 2010 Review

    While soccer has been the most popular sport in the world for a long time, it has yet to really take hold in the US. It has been a hit with youths but that interest seems to gradually wane with age. With the World Cup in 2010, English Premier League games on ESPN and a rising star in Jozy Altidore, the sport may gain a much larger audience in North America.

    Simply put, Pro Evolution Soccer 2010 has already sold millions overseas. Now it’s time to take the battle to the place where football has a different meaning.

    Maybe I'm crazy, but this game is very close to be the most enjoyable sports title this year. The Show is probably number 1, but this is a very close second imo.

      I dunno man? FIFA just seems to offer so much more. I like the gameplay in FIFA better. PES a good game to play but once it's all said and done I think FIFA takes this battle.

          I feel the opposite. Here are the reasons I prefer PES...

          1. No goal is ever the same.
          2. You can save replays on your HDD.
          3. You can pass the ball how you want to (I especially love the flow of the back heel passes. In FIFA I find myself saying: "I didn't pass it to that guy." It frustrates me to no end.)
          4. Scoring a goal on the harder difficulties is really a challenge.
          5. UEFA Champions League / Master League / Be A Legend

          *I am an old-school FIFA Fan. I had the initial release in 1994 for the Sega Genesis.

            Most guys will tell you FIFA, and if you are new to the genre maybe that is the right choice. But, if you want every game you play to feel unique I would say PES. But, it would be probably better to rent them both and see for yourself.

              These are the reasons I like PES 2010 over Fifa 10. I hit a 30 year volley with Torres last night. Probably wouldn't see that in Fifa. Not to mention I saw defenders and midfielders score goals. Fifa is cool, but I prefer Pro Evo this year.

                Sorry, but I don't post here that often. I own both these amazing soccer games and I love them both dearly. But if I had to choose one of the two then this would be FIFA 10. That's my sincere opinion though...
                In regards to the previous comment by dear Freepost I will answer with the videos of two goals I scored and recorded on the highest difficulty of FIFA 10:
                1. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vG6MPAT_Sag
                2. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p1nYzVO61Zw
                My final advice would be to rent both of the games and choose for yourself.

                      FIFA is really good this year, but this manages to beat it.
                      2nd IMO to post patch NBA2K10

                        I can't believe this s&*t! PES10 Master League is far and away a better franchise mode than FIFA's version. It keeps you enthralled after multiple seasons which is way more then i can say for FIFA. I was bored of the stale and monotonous FIFA after playing through 3 seasons. I am now playing my 5th season of ML in PES 10 and i'm still loving it, perhaps more now than the start as my team is blossoming from development.

                        If you blokes are going to review a game that is not hugely popular in States, then try doing it with the opinions of someone who actually knows what a true football (soccer) game is...and not just a causal soccer gamer who knows ****! Casua soccer gamers should play FIFA!

                        You yanks just don't get it. FIFA is marketed better, has a way bigger budget and all the licenses...and yet it still sucks outside of its vastly improved gameplay. When i say improved, it is. It's now much more of a sim than past 'arcade' versions, but IMO its 'too much' of a sim. The gameplay makes each and every game feel the same...something that PES10 does waaaay better. Each game in PES10 'feels' different...and no two goals 'feel' the same.

                        PES10 is a quality sports game with enough depth and 'extra-curricular" offerings to keep you going until next years release. The editing is supreme and the use of downloadable PNG's makes each teams kits appear just as good as those that are licensed. You can import your own menu music, import ans assign team chants, edit faces with face scans...etc. Trust me, go to PESFan or another website like that and you'll find tonnes of editing tools that make this game just as good aesthetically as FIFA...

                        I've played PES since it was called International Superstar Soccer and i've also played every iteration of FIFA...and PES is and always has been (with perhaps the exception of 2009) the better of the two. And the game modes are great! At least the UEFA Champions League, Master League and the Editing modes are great...although i agree, the 'Be a Legend' mode is a little stale and needs to be revamped, but aside from this, PES2010 is superior in every facet!

                          Oh BTW, i'm Australian and Football (soccer) s about as popular here as it is in America... its on the rise but still a long way behind our traditional, national sports like AFL and Rugby League.

                          I'm not a PES Fanboy either, i buy and play FIFA every year, but i always trade it for somehting else after a few weeks because it simply isn't that good. PES on the other hand always (apart from last year) lasts me until the next release.

                          Buy (or rent) both, and i'm sure you'll see what i mean!

                            Hi,

                            PES 10 is much better for offline (Master League rules) players because the AI in PES is very hard and much better like the one in FIFA 10. If someone interested to play the Bundesliga (not included in PES 10) visit this site and wait for the Matrix Patch:
