Can we generalise this to computer games in general?
As a few of you may know, I have only recently acquired a PS2 and was wondering accordingly what should be the next football sim I should purchase (when I eventually get some cash in my account)? I've always preferred PES but I've read enough (and played enough of the later titles) to know that it's gone downhill and that Fifa is now the premier footy sim. Whilst up-to-date squads is an important variable to consider, I'm more concerned with playability. Therefore I'm thinking about getting either PES 6 (the last great PES, which I've played extensively), PES 2011 (which I hear is actually alright compared to PES 2010) or the latest Fifa. Another factor I'd consider, is that I'm much more familiar with the game engine on PES, so in other words unless Fifa gets overwhelming support, I'd prefer to avoid it.
What would you guys suggest?
