They have the same balance of sport and romance, the same team spirit and a similar approach to dreams & love.
I'm partial to Pride, but I think the viewers of one are going to like the other too.

Both stories deal with sport and romance and have this sweet feeling / vibe from the beginning till the end.
You like Buzzer Beat? Well, let me show you the best romance/sport jdorama: Pride :)
Pride is a classic and halu-aki onscreen couple chemistry is arguably the best ever in jdorama world.

Both start out on the ice hockey rink with guys who have been scarred through life and have built up walls of distrust towards women. Both men in these dramas make bets with their teammates on who they can seduce next. Their victims are pure-hearted, unsuspecting young women who they inevitably begin falling for little by little. Both couples must overcome various obstacles and periods of separation to test their true love for each other. "Pride" is more teammate focused while "Autumn's Concerto" is more family drama based.
Tsuchiya Tomomitsu is the captain of his high school basketball team. He is also a senior at his school. Even though he is not that good in basketball, he is selected as bench player for the prefecture qualifying round. The underclassmen on his team, who are all better than him, are not happy about his selection.
Tomomitsu then meets Hatori Sae. She is also a senior at the same high school. She keeps watching Tomomitsu shoot three pointers. They become closer and develop a romantic relationship. Suddenly, Sae transfers to another school without saying a word.

Even though Pride is a bit darker and more serious, these two dramas both have a male lead dedicated to sports, who fall in love with a woman who is hard to reach. I would recommend Pride for those who were hoping for a more worked out love story. It is also aimed at an older audience.
(P.s Pride also has a Johnny's lead) :P

This drama is about a female figure skater, Lee Haru, who is hoping to make it big. Her life gets complicated when she reunites with her step-brother, Shin Hwal, after many years of being separated. Hwal's father and Haru's mother died tragically in a car accident. Hwal and his friends; Hae Yoon, Hyun Tae, and Sang Hee all work at the same ad agency. While Haru is trying to make her dreams come true, she unintentionally brings together her skating coach, Choi Soo In, and Hwal together. Haru starts developing feelings for Hwal but things are complicated further as Soo In is her brother's estranged wife.
Both center on athletes who both love and take extreme pride in their game. While one is hockey, and the other basketball, it is interesting to see the dynamics and conflicts, love relationships and characters that develop through sports and their interactions with each other. Both star hot guys who are at first aloof and unattainable, but who slowly open up to the women who help shape their game.
Similar casting and this is like a reunion. The theme is strength and gallantry.Haru Satonaka is the captain of an ice-hockey team, a star athlete who stakes everything on hockey but can only consider love as a game. Aki Murase is a woman who has been waiting for her lover who went abroad two years ago. These two persons start a relationship while frankly admitting to each other that it is only a love game. …The result is the unfolding of a drama of people with their respective pasts and with their pride as individuals.
"Game Over" is a line used by both leading men.
In Pride there is a contract relationship. In Personal Taste it is cohabitation. In both while spending time together, the leads slowly grow an affection for each other. A lead believes becoming a couple/a "real" couple would be impossible due to circumstances (already taken/wrong sexual preference). An absent/neglectful parent. The male lead's work plays a big part in both dramas.
Differences: Pride is not a comedy.
