But beyond the general football patterns PES’ AI quite simply does better than FIFA, the biggest thing for me is that it takes risks. It’s something our very own Xaor alluded to in a recent editorial, and its brought to life perfectly by these two games.When FIFA's AI attacks you it does so based on probability. If it has an option between shooting, and a simple pass, it follows the path of greatest probable success, even if shooting was the more natural thing to do. How many times have you conceded goals in FIFA 15 where the AI squared it, or passed when only a few yards out? I've lost count.PES 2015 strikes a much better balance here even though deep down it's probably governed buy fut 15 coins by the same type of logic. Konami however have left enough room for creativity to exist so when that half chance arises PES takes a chance, whilst FIFA plays percentages.Again FIFA 15 has been outgunned here after bringing in it's own wave of new tactical options this year in the form of Player Instructions and multiple saved formations. But whilst FIFA has the better layout and navigation, PES 2015 contains more options than you can imagine, the best of which being it's fluid formation changes which you can pre-configure to some depth. Being able to setup an attacking 4-3-3 formation, which switches automatically to a 4-5-1 when you lose the ball is so useful it's untrue. And again that key word is 'automatic'. In FIFA you'd have to press a button every time. No thanks.
There are individual player options, team styles and loads more too, and in all honesty it is a little overwhelming to a player returning after a leave of absence. But you'd certainly rather have the options available than not and it's kind of telling that something EA have made a feature of this year, PES quietly does more astutely out of the box. This article by its very nature has been very anti-FIFA, but that was kind of the point to be honest. The reality is that there are many things which FIFA 15 does better than PES 2015, but when it comes down to core football gameplay for me, Konami have the edge this year. But PES 2015 isn't a perfect game by any means.
The ball physics are a little one dimensional, the player <a href="http://www.fifa14cup.com/">buy fut 15 coins</a>physicality is rudimentary at best, and it shares FIFA 14's 'no-freekicks' disease as fifa14cup.com the AI rarely engages aggressively enough to actually foul you. But in the grand scheme of things none of these issues detract too much from the experience and at its core PES 2015 is well balanced and consistently enjoyable. I love FIFA to bits, and for me FIFA 15 still delivers in areas that PES can't yet match, but that gap is closing fast, and if EA fail to learn these fundamental lessons sooner rather than later, next year could represent the turning of the tide. Huge game at home for Liverpool this weekend coming off the back of two straight defeats. One, a spirited performance in the Bernabau and the other a slightly more embarrassing affair at St Jame's Park. But Rogers allegedly didn't 'rest' his stars against Real Madrid, he dropped them because they were, well, bobbins. So it will be interesting to see if 'reserves' Toure and Borini return here ahead of those shamed in Newcastle.
