Axis by axis
Execution8 vs 7
FIFA 23 leans a little harder on execution, though the gap is small.
FIFA 23
Power shot timing, skill moves, and defensive positioning have clear ceilings
Pro Evolution Soccer 6
First touch, through balls, and dribbles demand precise control
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 23
Human opponents create adaptive tactical systems requiring constant reading
Pro Evolution Soccer 6
Versus matches are constant feint and positioning prediction
Variance3 vs 2
FIFA 23 leans a little harder on variance, though the gap is small.
FIFA 23
Physics deflections and match momentum add mild chaos
Pro Evolution Soccer 6
Deflections and keeper spills add light randomness
Optimization4 vs 4
Same score on optimization - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
FIFA 23
Squad building, set pieces, and tactical presets are solvable systems
Pro Evolution Soccer 6
Formations and player roles are studyable
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.
