Fifa 18 vs PES 18: Football games in the direct comparison

Football classic Fifa 18 at a glance

The classic Fifa has been convincing with its range for many years.

License: Fifa 18 has almost all licenses as every year and thus offers 36 leagues and 650 teams to play with. Here you will find the top clubs from Germany, Spain, England and Italy.
Tactics: In Fifa, you can use the quick tactics to apply the necessary tactics during the game. Unfortunately, the actions here are very limited.
Online: In "Ultimate Team" mode, you can create your own team and complete them further using map collections. You also have access to an online transfer market.
Game feeling: Since the last FIFA, the fans and the players have been fundamentally adjusted. On the whole it looks nice, but it looks a bit stiff. The animations repeat after a short time.
Comment: Frank Buschmann and Wolf-Christoph Fuss are there again and provide one or two sayings. But the sayings repeat themselves after a short time. However, the comments match the current game happening.
Conclusion: Many interesting functions, especially the online function can score. However, many points are still in need of improvement.

License: The clubs are rather sparse in PES. From Germany there are Leverkusen, Dortmund and Schalke. Otherwise you will find clubs in PES that have qualified for the Champions League and the Europa League.
Tactics: A big advantage of PES is the customizable tactics. Here you can adjust the actions for own and opposing possession of the ball. These adjustments can also be made during the game.
Online: In PES there is the online mode "My Club", which can be seen as a direct competitor to Fifa Ultimate Team. The mode can convince with a well-thought-out point system. Otherwise, the functions are limited.
Game feeling: PES succeeds in the game that Fifa cannot do. There is an extremely realistic representation of the game.
Comment: Record sayings instead of brisk comments - this has been the case with PES commentators Marco Hagemann and Hansi Klüpper for years.
Conclusion: PES also offers very good functions, but cannot really convince with the selection of clubs.
