Advantages: excellent gameplay

Disadvantages: Button Backlog, defending crosses (personal experience!!!!!!!!

Obviously, as you know there is a long standing "battle" between these two games, of which there have been many an argument in the playground or between fans at games. I myself, having played both,was more impressed with FIFA than PES. This maybe because of the authentification of players, teams etc, but the gameplay itself seems to handle more.
PES , yes it's a good game but the hype around it is too far overexaggerated, the graphics are good and it is playable but it doesn't have that cutting edge that FIFA has.
Both have "button backlog" so to speak but this is because of the first-time systems that both of them try to replicate, however on FIFA 2006 when this occurs, it makes the game more fun, as a challenge to get the ball back, shots go wayward, and it is harder to tackle especially when playing on world class. I admit this is a fault but tackling and winning the ball back is far easier on PES than on FIFA making it more of a challenge for the player.
Amongst otherthings i would have to say that if you are after the better game go for FIFA 06.

Summary: FIFA 06 - YES , PES - NO
