The Pro Evolution Soccer series was once the king of football games, but due to a lack of licensing and more robust development over the years, FIFA has definitely taken over in terms of popularity, but there are still split camps between the two.
So we gave a copy of the game to our resident sports expert, Amos, to see if Konami have what it takes to lift their game.

I found these far superior to FIFA 11's "try to do everything for the player approach".
Was always a huge FIFA fan, but the mechanics are like rolling a dice: one time your player makes the perfect throughball, another time with exactly the same setup and positioning, he kicks it straight to a defender because FIFA says "i'll take care of this one...oops seems I got it wrong".
With collisions in FIFA 11 and earlier, its sort of like an RPG. Whoever has the higher strength rating, generally always wins out; even if they haven't got any momentum up and then get shoulder-to-shouldered by a smaller dude running full speed, the 'stronger' dude too often wins. Simple-minded and not very realistic.
Also, I still love the FIFA defender AI :P: "I am running back to cover my goal and compact the defence; oh the attacker is running towards me, so I'll just run towards him, oh no, now it seems I just ran right past the attacker...oh, he scored a goal...oh well".
Made by Canadians, a true soccer nation :P
