Football games are DEAD. So what are you playing and why?

Overall there is something to be said about enjoying repetition and interesting AI that joins retro PES even with games in other genres.
Here's what I play other than retro PES (WE9LE, PES2008 PS2):
  • Wreckfest: Amazing fun car crash physics and fun chaotic AI. Multiplayer is amazing as well.
  • Trackmania Nations Forever: Just has that mid 2000s vibe. It blew up on PC as a free game at the same time PES5/6 were on PS2. It's the perfect game for when you just want a quick gaming session where you improve your time over and over again.
  • Mario Tennis (N64): Just a fantastic tennis game based on momentum and physics. The AI on the harder modes is vicious. I play the Wii Virtual Console version via Dolphin Emulator (I find it runs better than emulating the N64 directly). Also a lot of fun in local 1V1 and 2V2 like PES.
  • Hot Shots Tennis Get a Grip (PSP): Superb timing based tennis game with a fantastic long RPG like career mode. The AI is super varied and interesting to play against. Doing the career and customizing your characters gives Master League vibes. I also emulate this on PC flawlessly.
  • F-Zero X and GX (N64 and Gamecube): Both amazing games with challenging AI and physics. Both run amazing on Dolphin emulator (X with the Wii Virtual Console version)
 
Sim Racing brings me nothing but joy these days. I just love to hop in my cockpit and slam the pedal down. šŸ˜Š

Also I should start my PS2 emulator on the old Macbook again and insert one of those old Winning Eleven discs to remember the gold old daysā€¦ when life was simple and footy games just funā€¦ šŸ˜‰
