A Comparative and Contrast Essay

FIFA 14 AND PES 2014: BOTH ARE BETTER TOGETHER

    For these days, many children want as a Christmas gift a play station; this also means having several video games. Two of the most famous games are PES 2014 and FIFA 2014. Both are of the soccer category. Many fans of the best sport that is soccer have waited the day of its release and these days a lot of people already have the two video games. Both video games are different companies that are KONAMI and EA SPORT so each year each company seeks to innovate in their projects and exceed their sales. Both games have tried to show your users to feel that they are in a real soccer game. But if you think of buying one of these video games, you should know that although both are soccer, there are some aspects like the gameplay and graphics, the modes and licenses can be different.

    In 2014 EA and Konami both were trying to add more realism to their football simulators. In FIFA 14 we can see the Pure Shot function and Real Ball Physics that together will let your in-game footballers make the same kicks as the real players do. However, PES 2014 provides TruBall feature that also erases the borders between football and its simulation. Talking about graphics, PES 2014 has got the brand-new graphical engine - FOX Engine - that is also used in the latest Metal Gear Solid instalment, and you will see the great leap in the quality of graphics from the first minutes of the game. The faces of the footballers look very realistic and their animation has been greatly upgraded, the small details - clothes, boots, and grass - designed perfectly, and even the football fans displayed in the background are very cool. In contrast, the graphics of FIFA 14 was updated, but in general the game looks like the last year's instalment. It is not bad, because the previous FIFA was better than PES 2013, but now we see the wax faces of some footballers much clearer than last year. These are two important points to consider.

    Another aspect to compare is license and modes. Licenses are the winning criterion of FIFA 14, as it always was.  FIFA 14 has more than 30 leagues, 600 clubs and about 16,000 footballers. Comments are superfluous. However, PES 2014 has lost several European teams and stadiums because of severe EA licensing politics. Finally, In PES 2014 we will be able to play Master League and Master League Online modes, and they both allow you to create your own team and make it a champion. These modes are designed rather well, and it will be really entertaining to play them. On the other hand, Ultimate Team from FIFA 14 is better this year. The new chemistry system that was announced in this instalment of FIFA series allows you to make unique team, and lots of different matches will give you an opportunity to try the team in action. So these are other aspects to consider before taking a decision.

    Before to take a decision to buy FIFA 14 or PES 2014, both games have got the same scores: 2:2, and so only you can decide, which criteria are more important - the gameplay and graphics or the modes and licenses. In my opinion, both games can be rewarded with the highest marks this year, and both are really cool. We would advise PES 2014 to the gamers, who are looking for the most realistic and challenging football simulator, while FIFA 14 has many interesting features and opportunities.
