FIFA 18vsMLB 15: The Show
Neither is meaningfully harder - they pose close to the same test. The widest gap is variance, and it is a single point.
FIFA 18
Execution · Competitive PvP
Stick execution and reading human opponents within a meta-driven system.
MLB 15: The Show
Execution · Competitive PvP
A baseball sim testing swing timing and the pitcher-batter guessing duel atop roster strategy.

Axis by axis
Execution7 vs 7
Same score on execution - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
FIFA 18
Perfect stick skill and timing dominate dribbles and finishing
MLB 15: The Show
Pitch timing and swing precision set the physical ceiling
Reads6 vs 6
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
FIFA 18
Human opponents bait, switch tactics and counter your habits
MLB 15: The Show
Guessing a human pitcher's sequence is classic mind-gaming
Variance3 vs 4
MLB 15: The Show leans a little harder on variance, though the gap is small.
FIFA 18
Bounce physics and pack luck add measured chaos
MLB 15: The Show
Batted-ball physics and simulation rolls add real randomness
Optimization5 vs 5
Same score on optimization - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
FIFA 18
Formation, squad chemistry and meta mechanics reward study
MLB 15: The Show
Roster building, matchups, and situational strategy run underneath
A matching score does not mean a matching test. Two games can both sit at 10 on execution and demand completely different things of you - which is why the reasoning above matters more than the number beside it.
