FSB 2009 Podcast #16: PES 2010 and FIFA 10 Patch #2

So PES 2010 is out now, as well as FIFA 10 patch #2. Is the new PES good enough to challenge FIFA? Is FIFA patch #2 enough? Here’s 24 minutes of what I think.

The Twins

Usually by this point on a Sunday there’s a podcast featuring yours truly available to download. Unfortunately there’s absolutely nothing to talk about this week – the much-anticipated patch hasn’t arrived yet and until then the only thing I can really say is that I’m still playing the game and still enjoying it, despite Manager Mode being in a bit of a state!

So instead of droning on about nothing for half an hour (nothing new there then), I’m going to point you to an interesting article written on the forums – posted in the podcast section funnily enough – written by Viniero09. It’s a little piece he calls The Twins, about the debate we love the most; PES vs FIFA. Click here to read it.

FSB 2009 Podcast #14: Home Improvement

First thing’s first – I love the FIFA 10 demo. In my opinion it’s the best football game I’ve ever played, and when playing with friends it’s the best multiplayer experience I’ve ever had.

Secondly, and most importantly – all of the opinions within this podcast are based on the demo, which is not representative of the retail version of the game. Remember that!

Now that that’s out of the way I can explain the idea behind this podcast; I think we can all agree that constructive criticism is a wonderful thing and that feedback is essential.

All throughout the period of our Emirates playtest we were waxing lyrical about how good FIFA 10 is, but with three hours of play under our belts there wasn’t much time to look out for the things that could use improvement. So in a change from our normal 60 minutes of glee and excitement, here is a 25 minute podcast dedicated to the things I want to see changed in the final version of the game, and/or via patches. EA, I hope you’re listening!

(Oh, and the PES 2010 demo gets a mention as well.)

FSB 2009 Podcast #05: The Rivals

Last month I had a bit of a falling out with FIFA; a man can only take so many beatings online at the hands of 13-year-olds who only know about the through-ball button and the shoot button. To cut a long story short, I decided to take PES for another spin and remind myself why I moved on from Pro Evo to FIFA after years of playing Konami’s football series.

With Peter Moore saying in an interview last week that PES “is in FIFA’s rear view mirror”, I thought this would be a great time to talk about my week’s holiday with PES2009, and what FIFA can learn from it.
