This year's PES 2010 is a great improvement over last year's pes 2009. The biggest improvements that have impressed me so far are the gameplay (especially with the new invention called "The Card System", which can be used to dictate a team's play style), the player-likeness and the Online gameplay (no lag for me so far). On the other hand, I was quite disappointed with last year's PES 2009 that after I bought the game, I played only one match, then sold it and exchanged FIFA 09 instead. With this year's improvement in PES 2010, I begin to expect more and more of PES 2011 and hope it can improve the possible weaknesses that still exist in PES 2010, such as player stiffness and short lag between passing. Anyway, Nice Job Seabass!

For the record, neither EA nor Konami has made any innovative upgrades to their franchises for many years. Back when Konami wasn't releasing a new game every year, there used to be surprising innovations in the PES franchise. FIFA hasn't changed much in terms of gameplay since FIFA98. So both FIFA and PES are far from what they should be.
If you have been playing FIFA: there is little justification for you to switch. PES 2010 doesn't offer a much more enjoyable experience.
If you have been playing PES: This is the PES that you are used to and love, it's a nice upgrade from PES2009 in almost any aspect of the game.
If you have never played a soccer game before: Take PES, it has better player movements, tactical support, good AI (except for the refs and the goalies). It may lack the realistic feel outside the penalty area that FIFA is slightly better at, but it is much more exciting in the penalty area when it comes to passing and shooting for goals. Goals in FIFA are a bit more boring than PES goals.
Pros
* Slightly improved Become a Legend Mode
* Slightly improved online play
* Much improved Master League
* Much improved graphics
* Much improved tactics and strategy support
* Brit-pop heavy tracks
Cons
* Slow response for some moves and some parts of the field
* Brit-pop heavy tracks

In recent years PES has been a source of disappointment, with bad next-gen games and lackluster performance following the magnificent PES 6 (2007). FIFA had gained some hype thanks to great marketing by EA Sports - something Konami should watch for and learn from - and was being hailed as the best game. It bothered me how an average game suddenly became magnificent... it's not that FIFA improved so much, it was because it was showing it was trying to improve AND because PES has been dreadful since 2007 on the PS2. Next I am going to go over some points that I've read in too many places, some by biased people, some by people who don't know any better.
How can FIFA have better graphics? It's the same engine as FIFA 2007, graphics not changed since FIFA 2008 and it looks old-gen compared to PES, which even has player hair, skin pores, higher resolution textures, better grass... PES it's better everything in graphics, for example you can even see the tongue-clip of the Adidas boots while in FIFA we have a blurry thing when we zoom in.
Tactics in FIFA are a pain, it's very limited and there's very little freedom to change anything at all, again I don't understand how you can say FIFA is better. PES continues the same format however it adds Player Cards and other very specific sliders (marking, pressure, support...). Player Cards feel useless most of the time as in most cases it will be just one or another attribute which shouldn't make much of a difference.
Soundtrack and Menus: FIFA has a TON of stuff, no denying, however most of it is annoying music to me. Just because it has something from a lot of countries doesn't mean it's good. It's appreciated they do that but more and more I feel they worry about putting some "have-been hits" more than they do about improving the rest. PES has some songs that were hits going back last year but it has a better overall track, more solid, far less annoying songs, lesser known groups but the track choices are good and even I enjoyed some of the upbeat pop/electronic stuff (there are other types too). On Menus, I prefer PES's menus over FIFA, they are straight forward and easier to navigate, finally Konami's overhaul Worked! The menus look very good now, it feels modern and vibrant even though I don't like pink, which does work nice with the black, while FIFA has kept the same format from years back.
Licensing: true, FIFA has a ton of leagues and PES doesn't. We wish it did but we have to make do with the very good selection in Other Teams A, and edit as we wish on Other Teams B. I am actually working on my own Option File to release with a few German and Brazilian teams. However, the UEFA integration is ASTONISHING.
Edit: My Other Teams B- Bayern Munich, Werder Bremen, Bayer Leverkusen, HSV, Wolfsburg, CSKA Moscow, Botafogo, Corinthians, Flamengo, Fluminense, Grêmio, Palmeiras, and São Paulo. Option Files for each region of this game have been released, which update all of the leagues without any hassle for the player.
Editing: PES allows you to edit anything, FIFA makes you buy Live Season which only takes care of a handful of leagues, you won't get to change the stats for vastly underrated players in any other leagues. Want to create a team? PES gives you a lot of freedom, though some options have been gone for a while, PES 2010 has the best editing of the next-gen games (from PES 2007 to 2010). FIFA you cannot change one thing on a team, so if you're stuck with a team having an orange instead of red shirt, or want the goalies to actually wear their real life shirts, you can't. In Other Teams B you can create up to 18 new teams.
Master League is an unmatched game mode. Manager Mode in FIFA 10 is supremely buggy, and Be a Pro and Become A Legend are similar to compare much. PES lets you play BAL for 18 years, FIFA gives you only 4 years in Be a Pro. However, the one aspect that FIFA has the upper hand is that we play Reserve Team matches, in PES we play a training match with either A or B teams. Master League and Become A Legend have UEFA Champions League and Europa League integration, with BAL also including National team integrations.
PES 2010 is the best in the 360/PS3 era, and PES 2010 is the best and an improvement over PES 2007 on the PS2, PES 2007 being the last great PES. PES 2010 is a few major steps in the right direction, it's building the foundation for 2011 to return to the top. It doesn't have the bugs FIFA has, it has better game modes, and everything else EXCEPT for the nice 360 movement and motion capture, it has a faux-360 which feels like a 16-direction thing.
PES 2010 needs improvement on goalies, who know DO make some great saves but their one issue is giving rebounds. I can't complain about online lag, and I have to say the same regarding FIFA. With PES, however, I couldn't connect with players whose game is from a different region, like UK/Australia or Europe. A must buy for players who skipped 2008 or 2009, and a "should buy" for players who have previous versions as this one is far superior.

I have been buying and playing PES since 1999 and I was thinking that the day where I will switch to Fifa will never come because Konami was giving me what i wanted in PES.. But since 2007 Fifa started to build a better game platform I did not buy fifa at that time and I got PES for 2008-2009 but this year I said I should see if Fifa will be a better game than PES as everyone was saying in the last year and here is my observation after playing both of the games:
- Game Play Simulation (This is the most important factor for me):
Fifa10 4.5 Stars
PES10 4 stars
Fifa feels much better an responsive the 360 dribbling is one of the best features in this game.. PES is still fell solid but I do not know it feels slower than previous PES and this is not realistic at all as Konami said.I want the player to pass a through ball when i press the button not waiting for 2 sec then do it..
- Graphics:
Fifa10 4.5 start
PES10 4 stars
Fifa feels cleaner and smother in terms of graphics for player ,pitch and stadium.
- Game Tactics:
Fifa 3.5 stars
PES 4.6 start
You will get alot more in the tactics and Team vision PES .
- Game menu Design Music Soundtrack ..etc
Fifa10 4.5 stars
PES10 2 stars
This is not a major issue for me but it will be nice if PES did spend one month more designing the menus better and licencing aging better music.
bottom line:
PES is not as bad as people said.. it is even better than last year PES but Konami did not show respect to us as gamers and it did not improve the game alot in the last 3 years.. people might say this hard but EA did an amazing job in 2 years.. for me I will not buy PES this year I will return the game to my friend and I will buy Fifa to support them and show them that they did a good job and they deserve my money..
I hope next year PES will be better bcz still nothing will top the old play style of PES.
