FIFA 20vsPro Evolution Soccer 2015
Neither is meaningfully harder - they pose close to the same test. The widest gap is optimization, and it is a single point.
FIFA 20
Execution · Grand Arena
A football sim where reading opponents and precise execution both decide matches.
Pro Evolution Soccer 2015
Execution · Competitive PvP
Stick precision and constant prediction of a human opponent's tactical habits.
FIFA 20 leans Execution (Grand Arena); Pro Evolution Soccer 2015 leans Execution (Competitive PvP).

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 20
precise passing, dribbling, and shot timing
Pro Evolution Soccer 2015
First touch, through-ball timing and finishing demand precise sticks
Reads6 vs 6
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.

Human opponents bait, switch tactics and punish habits
Variance2 vs 2
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.

FIFA 20 leans a little harder on optimization, though the gap is small.

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.
