FIFA 14 meets PES 2014 in this year’s premier digital-soccer derby

Each year, virtual-soccer giants FIFA and Pro Evolution Soccer (PES) go head-to-head on the pixelated pitch for the honor of being the fittest footballing simulation. Both started their seasons only a few weeks ago on PlayStation 3 (played here) and Xbox 360, so fans are still getting to know the latest versions of the franchises they support with so much fervor.

Konami’s PES 2014 incorporates the high-tech Fox Engine, bringing new visuals and physics to the classico. EA Sports’ FIFA 14 fields a strong lineup of features as always, with revamped shooting mechanics leading the way.
