It's funny because I'm thinking now of what a behemoth EA and FIFA are in general but remember before Konami went to shit. It's funny we are worried about PES constantly these days when this was a game and company that produced absolute greatness consistently. Look at the sales numbers in the mid 2000s. Konami really botched that PS3 transition and we've been in quicksand ever since.
PES 5, a game from 2005/6 is still WIDELY played - crazy when you think about it. Is anyone playing FIFA 06 and enjoying it today? 🤣
Actually Fifa 06 was such a big improvement in terms of gameplay and from fifa's standards, it does hold up to some extent.
Just play fifa 04 and then play 06. One feels unplayable and the other one is completely enjoyable enough to play today.
As for ps3 era, I think PES 13 is very decent. I also liked how PES 14 had good animations and was slow but the inputs were responsive asf compared to current PES games. I didn't really enjoy PES 15-21 that much tbh.
In my opinion of course. Full disclaimer: I am a complete casual player but not into online modes either.
