From the released information so far, Fut 15 Coins looks to have perfected and fine-tuned all the effects they have been working on down the years. In 2004 gamers got their first experience of seeing players make runs off the ball. Attacking runs are now so realistic that developers claim you will actually “feel” like Lionel Messi. “Players move realistically with athleticism, improved balance and closer control, giving greater responsiveness and personality to your favourite stars,” they say.

EA Sports has brought a whole new level of ephemera to the FIFA 15 marketing campaign with its ‘Incredible Visuals’ trailer. First of all, these visuals are not incredible. They’re fine. Pretty good, even. But not incredible. Having a player’s shorts get dirty and their hair wave around a bit is not ‘incredible.’

PES 2015, on the other hand, was much more impressive. Playing it I instantly felt more free, the choking feeling of Fifa now gone. Gameplay was more fluid and fast thanks to Konami's Fox Engine – which powers Metal Gear Solid V – introduced to full next-gen effect here. Konami boasted to me that PES was more about fun and individual play than accuracy for accuracy's sake - as it proved in action. Many PES fans will claim realism doesn't matter as long as the underlying game is fun, and to an extent that is of course true.

However, EA's comprehensive licensing agreement does mean a lot to its whole package and for players, it will always be better to play as Arsenal rather than North London just as it's better to see the look of dismay on Joe Hart's actual face than one that sort of, maybe looks like him. The gap between 'real life' and Xbox/PlayStation games is narrowing every year, not least with the latest addition of all 20 Premier League grounds.

This has a negative effect on PES's look. FIFA XBOX ONE COINS  simply looks and is presented better, which in the case of the player models at least is down to Konami having to look close to the real deal without creating an exact likeness.
