Football War Day entered a new phase this afternoon, as Konami's John Murphy laid into FIFA, saying concensus suggests PES is, in a nutshell, better.

“It is all very well for EA to say that FIFA is making great strides, but general opinion suggests that they still have a long way to go before they can match the intuitive and absorbing gameplay of Pro Evolution Soccer,” Murphy told MCV.

“That is not to say that we are resting on our laurels, though. PES 2009 has a vast number of new additions that elevate it far beyond anything anyone else is doing.”

Balls, eh? More through the link. Thanks, Kotaku.
