Fifa road to the word cup 98
ISS98
FIFA 13
PES 2013
FIFA 17
PES 2017
Those are the only options I can really think of and I'm not sure whether any truly meet the crIteria
What led me to this thought was reading through the FIFA 08 thread here on evoweb (I was J79 back then). I remember the anticipation for that game as soon as the demo was released, it really seemed like that was the year that EA would legitimately challenge Konami and we'd have two great football games to divide our time with, little did we know that would also be the year that PES would start it's downwards trajectory (on the next gen consoles at least).
I think we all assumed that Konami would really hit their stride with PES 2008 after the limited 360 release of PES 6 with returning features and improved gameplay. How wrong we were.
Anyway, just some random musings in between world cup matches and wondering if anyone else had any better candidates or other thoughts
If we conclude that we never had two great football games at the same time, do we think we ever will? Considering i don't think we currently have even one I think the odds are slim (sorry to end on a pessimistic note)
