    Playing FIFA or PES I’ve always wondered what the actual players think of the game. Would you feel slighted to be ranked mid-70′s, for example, if you thought/knew you were better?
    Even as a fan I often find myself second-guessing the ratings given — “Bale is obviously faster than that…”
    Did you notice Richards when “he” made a nice run?

    I could see myself wasting a bit of time watching select matchups of players in a PES showdown.
