‘PES 2016’ Overwhelms ‘FIFA 16’ at Gamescom 2015; Determined to Be the Best Football Video Game Ever

Bhatti admitted that Konami has made a lot of mistakes with the PES series but instead of taking it on a negative context, the company took it as an opportunity to learn from it. Konami has promised to give players the best experience ever. The developer wants to ensure that players are left smiling and can score great goals, with the major improvements that it has made on the “PES 2016” using the same Fox engine that it used for “PES 2015.”

Because gamers and fans are given a choice on which football simulation video game they are going to choose once “PES 2016” and “FIFA 16” are officially out, the comparisons between the two cannot be helped at all; and the internet has plenty of those these days.

While “FIFA 16” has the gamer numbers safely in its favor, it seems that “PES 2016” will be coming on real strong given the improvements in its gameplay and graphics made by Konami.

EA Sports, the developer of “FIFA 16,” on the other hand, focused on gameplay improvements for the latest iteration of its football simulation video game.

The good news for gamers is that based on the gameplay trailer of “PES 2016” that was shown in June at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) 2015 by Konami, the game is not only impressive, it actually offered vast improvements from its predecessor, “PES 2015,” in terms of its fluid gameplay.

    So refreshing to see a producer admit this about their product. It’s something that really turned me off EA because no matter how much we moaned they still wouldn’t acknowledge some basic game issues.

    I’m a football tragic and buy both Fifa & PES every year no matter what since I was a kid. I spend a few weeks playing each and then the one that sticks out I stick with throughout the rest of the year. I’ve been doing this for years and it’s surprising that I am always easily able to identify a clear winner each year. Here have been my picks over the years;

    1992 – 1994 – Super Soccer/Striker [SNES]
    1995 – 1998 – International Super Star Soccer (Deluxe) [SNES]
    1998 – 1999 – International Super Star Soccer 64 [N64]
    2000 – 2008 – PES 1 through to PES 2008 [PS2/PC]
    2009 – 2014 – Fifa 09 through to Fifa 14 [PS3 & PC]
    2015 – PES 2015 [PS4/PC]
    2016 – TBD (but seriously looks like PES once again)

    Mind you my criteria for determining which I favour might be totally different to you. All I focus on is career mode/master league. I never play online and I never play ultimate team. I can’t bring myself to create a make believe team, I just want to drive my boyhood club as far as they can.

    The only factor I care about is gameplay.

    Cheers for this article.

  2. I miss the old days of Winning Eleven. But the truth is really liked Winning Eleven 6-8 because I had a modded PS2 and would get a bunch of modded Winnings with all the uniforms and correct names for players/teams. I still can’t stand that they don’t get the licenses like EA Sports.

    1. man, i also do miss the old winning eleven dayz :) back in the dayz of winning eleven- 11 7, 8,9 25 & 37. (25 being my favourite)…wel, those are just a few that i enjoyd playing

  3. hopefully Fifa wakes up and dominates again as the only thing I hated about PES was there were HALF an official licence job.

    Unless PES gets the whole licence too then I wouldn’t care as I was a old school PES player lol.

  4. Pes 16 will be the best football simulating game. fIfa have only looked to improve gameplay but pes have improved all facets of the game (weather,collision etc) which adds to realism and dynamic gameplay. After all, dont gamers strive for realism? Forever Pes!!!
