i dont understand that arcade thing
pes always felt more fluid and to me it felt and looked more like football than fifa, like driving a car compared to driving a train on railroads, and i agree that its much easier to beat a fifa player as a non fifa player than the other way round
fifa before 11 on PC was unplayable and crap for it was a very bad console port
but as i read this year they had an own developement team for pc at the same time they did it for consoles and i think it feels much better and is full of details that make it fun to play (at least the non bugged demo version)
last year was the first time since ages i could even take a closer look @ fifa and think about giving it a chance (pc)
pes12 in the demo doesnt feel as much of a complete game as fifa does in the demo it looks all blury - hope they will change that
will be a tough choice this year
ps.: for pes12 - if you havent figured out yet: deleting or renaming "dpes12ci.sfd" + "dpes12pv.sfd" inside your /img folder will make you GET RID OF THE ENDLESS INTRO ! (wonder what came to their mind putting such a intro on the demo - when i tried it for the 1st time i felt like smashing my screen)
