PES goals for the purist

Admittedly, most of the goals below involve the patisserie-munching, intricate pass-loving underachievers from Arsenal - mainly because the guy who's writing this is an obsessive Gunners' fan. Still, if you love quick one touch football, these are the goals for you.

Fancy footwork

Everyone loves a bit of fancy footwork – well, except if you’re a no nonsense centre-half. Below, you’ll find some of the most fleet-footed, Mickey-taking dribbles and tricks we’ve pulled off over the last year.

The reason I don't play PES anymore is because of those howlers happening way too often, makes me want to punch a baby...

The depressing thing about the wierd goals is that they become common place in the world of PES. But that contributes to the game. Its what shows Fifa and PES are different. Love PES and always will. PES kicks Fifa into ordbit.

> CARLINNIT - 3 hours 38 minutes ago "what he said" Seconded. I used to be a FIFA player right up until trying PES 2008, and realised that PES in terms of gameplay is just plane better. Sure Fifa might look better, but I always managed to find ways of a near certain goal when playing, e.g., i knew if I passed the ball there the defender would move to block me, through ball to the striker, low placed shot to far bottom corner of the goal and a 90% chance of another one on the tally. Where as in pes while you will score similarish goals quite often, none two will ever go down quite the same. Sure there are issues but there are issues in FIFA aswell, neither game has won but neither has lost yet. Enjoyed the vids, especially the purist and fancy footwork cuz thats how I play :D... well... when I'm doing well that is. Come to think of if isn't that how every1 plays? Does any1 actually go defencive and play a long ball game in pes? I've never seen any1 do it thats for sure...

I think I speak for many when I say that I've loved PES since the early days. FIFA had nothing on it. Absolutely nothing! But for real... FIFA 09 took the latest PES to school and back. Although, it still lacks the sponteneity seen by PES in these videos. You'd never score half of those goals in FIFA. It needs some freedom... and I think from what I've heard of the 360 dribbling, that should go a long way to helping FIFA dominate for another few years...

Pro Evo all day long!! Nice to see an article acknowledging it tbh. Since most of the faithfull sold out and became FIFA whores. I've been loyal since the ISS days, and while I accept that FIFA has upped it's game It's still feels like one big advert. The flight of the ball in FIFA is like one of those plastic balls you buy at the seaside for a quid. Peter Moore can go stick it, SEABASS FOR LIFE YO!! Do your worst FIFA whores, you can't tell me anything I havent already heard...

The only recent Fifa/PES worth playing, imo, is the Wii iteration of the current Pro Evo. Apart from the Wii game there's still the same problems and gameplay quirks, just to a lesser extent, that there was after the last jump forwards that came over PES3-4. Since then Konami have stalled with the HD games while Fifa has caught up. Thing is none of them ever hooked me the way Sensi did even if it's the simplest game series ever to attempt football. I also NEVER found anyone who could live with my Sensible Soccer skills. No matter what version or what platform I was unstoppable-little did I realise that it was MY game and I'd forever suck at everything else because of it draining ALL my talent. Pretty daft when there's now only me in the world that even cares let alone fires up the Amiga for some old school!

PES was my first love. But she aged poorly, things started to sag and she lost her ravenous libido. Then came along FIFA 09 with golden hair, sparkling eyes and a mouth that can suck a golfball through a hosepipe. Fifa all the way!

PES 09 on Wii...now that is a game. But Fifa on PS3 all the way. I don't even like football that much.
