FIFA 16 vs. PES 2016: differences in comparison
Every year gamers ask themselves whether they should buy FIFA 16 or PES 2016. In this comparison, we show differences and similarities between the two soccer simulations.
FIFA 16 vs. PES 2016: gameplay and graphics
- FIFA 16 comes up with some gameplay improvements compared to its predecessor. Among other things, the defensive AI was improved. In addition, scoring is a little more difficult than in FIFA 15, and large parts of the game take place in midfield.
- PES 2016 focuses primarily on the tactical options, which are very diverse. The goalkeepers, on the other hand, are not yet fully developed.
- Not much has changed in terms of graphics at FIFA 16, while PES 2016 relied on a new engine with great animations and detailed faces. However, the viewers look a bit pixelated.
FIFA 16 vs. PES 2016: presentation and game modes
- FIFA 16 is one step ahead, especially when it comes to commentators. Wolff Fuss and Frank Buschmann do a good job, although not all comments always fit the game perfectly. In addition there are real fan chants including original scoreboards in some leagues.
- PES 2016 is lagging behind, especially when it comes to sound. This is mainly due to the partly obviously misplaced comments by Marco Hagemann and Hansi Küpper.
- The game modes are relatively similar. Whether career mode and Ultimate Team in FIFA 16 or Meisterliga as well as MyClub at PES 2016 - soccer fans have plenty of opportunities to develop their virtual skills.
FIFA 16 vs. PES 2016: topicality and licenses
- As every year, FIFA 16 is clearly ahead in terms of licenses. Although Konami has the exclusive rights to the Europa League and the Champions League, the package cannot keep up with the thousands of original FIFA 16 players.
- Another advantage is the Matchday feature at FIFA 16, which allows you to download and play the current ranks of the professional teams almost in real time.
Conclusion: FIFA 16 or PES 2016?
While PES 2016 does some things right on the pitch, FIFA 16 is ahead in many areas. In order to compensate for the much narrower license package, the weak comments and the sometimes somewhat dreary atmosphere, Konami has to take a slightly larger step forward next year.
